I want to usurp the following account in a project without an usurping bureaucrat.

NL Wikipedia appears to have some bureaucrats. I think it would be a better idea to do this locally. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 15:42, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It appears zh-yue wikipedia has a local bureaucrat still, please place a request at zh-yue:Wikipedia:改用戶名 and give him some time to respond.

Russian Wikibooks done - No activity on the account since its creation in 2007, no email set. Kylu 16:11, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

thank you for ru.books. i have placed a request for zh.yue on the local request page on 12 sept: [1] in the past requests on this page have been answered quickly (on same day), but my request has got no reply (neither positive nor negative) until now. can you do something about it?

i have also made requests in a number of other projects. some with success, but many without any reaction:

mediawikiwiki: on sept 2 [2], local user has 16 edits, but all of them vandalism (blanking of pages).
eowiki: on sept 10 [3]
arwiki: on sept 1 [4]
nds-nlwiki: first crat sent me to second (and only other) crat, on second crats talk page some diskussion with another user, but no reaction from crat [5]
some more requests in the last days

You may want to consider just asking in that section, "Do you mind if the Stewards perform this rename?" ... if there's no response in a few weeks, they probably don't care. There's quite a few folks who take up the mantle of bureaucrat without understanding that it's little more than a new set of annoyances, I think. :) Kylu 16:24, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have found another account on a wiki without crat:

Any others, or can we archive this section? Kylu 12:15, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

there are 12 7 others, in 4 3 cases local policy says to wait for up to 6 month. I will ask local crats again in 4 5 other wikis. --L

I think the usurpation on nds-nl offended the local administrator, as he left a question about it. I'll abstain from the rest of these until the matter is cleared up, I think. There's plenty of other stewards, though. Kylu 04:13, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

@Kylu: Please check again: Erik Warmelink (also: ErikWarmelink) is not an admin. I asked both crats on the wiki, both they did not answer. Erik was the only on to answer: at first he talked in favour of a 4 year waiting time but than changed to "I am OK with the usurpation." see: http://nds-nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overleg_gebruker:Servien#usurp_L

Does this clear up matters? --L

Correct on the non-adminness, but the sequence of events is that the question was posed after his being OK with the usurpation. Anyway, I'd rather get a response from him first, as lack of adminness doesn't make his opinion less valid. Kylu 11:06, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done at es.wikiversity since their bureaucrats does not respond to communications and are long time inactive. --dferg ^{☎ talk} 23:14, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Username was usurped on en.wiki with his blessing but global account still exists. Will ask owner to post here to certify. –xeno 14:14, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly note that my user identity is not abandoned, it is just renamed to InarZan2. I don't care what you do with the old username, but I want the global account in the name InarZan2. Could you please rename my global account to "InarZan2"? PrinceMathew 14:54, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We can't rename global accounts. Please rename all accounts where you have contributions under "PrinceMathew" to "InarZan2" as you want, visit special:mergeaccount as InarZan2 to create a new global account, then return here to request deletion of the old global account. Thank you. Kylu 15:54, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DS1SKU

Status: In progress

w:en:DS1SKU – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp

Could someone have a look at en:WP:USURP#DS1SKU and advise how best to address the request? –xeno 13:27, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm not aware of a policy that would allow us to usurp an account based on its status as matching a callsign. Further, this diff on ko.wikipedia seems to indicate that the username was not selected as an impersonation, but user initials and the initials of his university/universities. If the existing accounts are usurped by the requesting user (원용), however, it would make sense to have stewards delete the global account to permit reunification. It would be best to explain the situation calmly to the current user of the "DS1SKU" account, however, and ask them to voluntarily relinquish it first. (If it matters, I understand my username has previously been the callsign of a Western United States radio station. Not that I was aware of this fact prior to my Wikipedia involvement.) Kylu 17:58, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this can be closed. –xeno 20:38, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gus

Status: In progress

w:pt:Gus – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp

Hello. I want to request the usurpation of the username Gus on pt.wikipedia.org. I have the Gus username on SUL and most of the accounts related to it. Thanks. --Gus 21:35, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Account has 60 edits on ptwiki. I'm afraid this might not be done. I'll be looking if a local policy allows it on the other hand. --dferg ^{☎ talk} 10:39, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Gus account that belonged to Gus (hernoemd) was recently added to my SUL account and it had almost the same edit count as the Gus account here. --Gus 19:20, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Auanika

Status: Done

:{{{2}}}:Auanika – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp

Request the deletion of a global account.

I want to delete my global account "Auanika". I've changed my username on my home wiki (russian) and on all wikis where I had contributions (except those where was only 1 edit) from "Auanika" to "Das steinerne Herz". So after the deletion I want to unify my new username "Das steinerne Herz" in russia-wiki with all others wikis with Special:MergeAccount. --Auanika 20:39, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting the global account will delete any global preferences, unattach all local accounts, and leave the global name free for another user to take. All local accounts will continue to exist. The passwords for local accounts created before the merge will revert to their pre-merge values. Shall we continue? --dferg ^{☎ talk} 16:27, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we shall continue.--Das steinerne Herz 09:21, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Successfully deleted the global account for "Auanika"

Yuma

Status: In progress

Request the deletion (and/or block) of a global account.

Already renamed in my home wiki [6], here on meta [7], and in the main projects. Already unified as Larry Yuma [8]. If possible, I'll need rename on ~~three~~ one more project where bureaucrats are inactive (see also my -messy- requests here):

oldwikisource::Yuma – contribs – log – crats – stewardry — sulutil — centralAuth - requested

About wikis where I have minor edits, there's no problem in losing it. The main need is to 'archive' this account, possibly saving my edits in oldiwikisource ~~and la.wiki, in last instance pt.wiki too...~~ but only if the workload in not too heavy. But in fact what I care the most is closing this old "Yuma" account, possibly blocking it. --Yuma 17:48, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I want to usurp the following accounts (again) - I placed a request before and it was done; however, I don't know what happen, but I suddenly found that I cannot log back in the portugal wikipedia.

Usurpation was correctly done and a local account was automatically created from the global [9]. Please try to log in locally or recover the password from ptwiki. Also: in cA I do not see any account listed for you in pt.wikipedia. Odd bug indeed. --dferg ^{☎ talk} 16:22, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
