Requests
- Here you can request your account deletion and usurpation on wikis without active bureaucrats, or request the deletion of a global account if you need to be renamed or to usurp an account elsewhere. Please add new requests at the bottom!
- This is a list of local pages where requests for renames can be made.
- If you want to request the renaming of multiple accounts on wikis without local bureaucrats please use the format:
*{{Merging|YourName|language shortcut|project shortcut}}
- See the template documentation for all of the project codes and more examples.
- Please sign your requests with --~~~~, thank you!
Example:
===example user=== {{status}} I want to be renamed to ... with the following accounts // I want to usurp the following accounts *{{Merging|YourName|tpi|w}} *{{Merging|YourName|ga|wikt}} *{{Merging|YourName|gd|wikt}} *{{Merging|YourName|fo|s}} --~~~~
Lester Foster
Hi, can somebody of you break the sul of the account user:Lester Foster? I am the owner of the accounts under its name, it is my alternate account. proof Thank you! Diego Grez return fire 03:15, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
- Done. Account deleted. Ruslik 06:57, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
Moises
I want to usurp the following accounts. I hold the SUL of username Moises and my home wiki is ca.wikipedia.org (http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuari_Discussi%C3%B3:Moises). All of them have 0 (zero) edits and contributions.
- s:en:Moises – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
- s:es:Moises – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
v:es:Moises – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp- q:pt:Moises – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
- s:pt:Moises – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
wikt:pt:Moises – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
All the folllowing projects have bureaucrats, but I can't write the language nor understand the usurpation page
- da.wikipedia.org
- ko.wikipedia.org
- ro.wikipedia.org
- sv.wikipedia.org
- tl.wikipedia.org
How can I do the username MoisesSUL request in those projects? --Moises 15:58, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
- Have you tried posting a request in English? Jafeluv 20:43, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
The problem with the projects with bureaucrats listed, is because I can't understand the idiomof this wikis, and I'm not able to arrive to the correct page to do the SUL request. There are many wikis, i.e. german, that ofer the same page in german version and in english vesion as a "lingua franca", but not all the wikis do. If there is an alternative solution, tell me and i'll try. Thanks. Moises 12:38, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
- There's a handy list of pages where renaming can be requested here. If there's no specified page, you can contact a local bureaucrat on their talk page (see the "crats" link in your original list above). Most of them understand English just fine. Usurpation pages for the projects you listed:
- da.wikipedia.org -- da:WP:USURP
- ko.wikipedia.org -- ko:WP:USURP
- ro.wikipedia.org -- ro:Project:RENAME
- sv.wikipedia.org -- sv:WP:USURP
- tl.wikipedia.org -- tl:WP:RENAME
- Hope this helps. Jafeluv 12:01, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
- There also this, like it says above to read before asking here. fr33kman 16:46, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
- I've usurped Moises@eswikiversity since their bureaucrats went very inactive for years (I have proposed their demotion today). Regards/Saludos, -- Dferg ☎ talk 09:52, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
- For the Spanish-speaking projects:
- For eswikisource see s:es:Wikisource:Pedidos de cambio de nombre de usuario.
- For eswiktionary see wikt:es:Wikcionario:Café.
- For eswikibooks: I will do it myself as I'm a bureaucrat there.

I want to usurp the following accounts in en:wikipedia and de:wikipedia, the English acount has 0 edits and 1 edit in German

- Not done, both en.wikipedia and de.wikipedia have local bureaucrats. Please make local requests here and here. Jafeluv 07:02, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
Joy
I have gone through the list of foreign pages and requested usurpation on all instances that were listed - you can see the entire list at en:User:Joy/SUL.
The following entries either did not appear on the list of request pages, or have more than one listed bureaucrat at Special:Listusers, so I am bringing them up here because I think it would be entirely unreasonable to require me to hunt down not only each individual mediawiki instance but also each individual bureaucrat on those instances, send them duplicate messages, look out for race conditions, etc. If they failed to create a centralized page on their instance where requests can be posted so that all bureaucrats can see them, that should be a problem for them and/or for whoever oversees them - not us poor old users.
- Update: I've gone ahead and sent messages to this effect to individual bureaucrats listed below. Argh. If they fail to get their act together within some reasonable amount of time (e.g. 3 weeks), please follow up (usurp my accounts, un-crat them, whatever). --Joy-temporary 11:32, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
In general, this process has been utterly tedious and time-consuming and I feel I've done my share of due diligence already - it's time for someone to finally help me out and alleviate this colossal waste of my time that would *really* be better spent on actual editing of Wikipedia...
So then, this is the remainder from my list:
- v:beta:Joy – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
- s:bn:Joy – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
- 0 crats
- this one should be renamed to "JoyBot" to match bn:User:JoyBot per analogous rename there Done. PeterSymonds (talk) 21:44, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

- 2 crats, no registered request page
- crats notified: [11] but not the other one, http://pt.wiktionary.org/wiki/Utilizador_Discuss%C3%A3o:Eusbarbosa is read-only! WTF?!
- Concerning pt.wikt, the most active bureaucrat, wikt:pt:User:ValJor, will be on wikibreak until August 14. The other one, Eustáquio Barbosa, has last edited at Juny 21 and probably is also on a wikibreak. I'll leave him a message as he's protected his talk page. I can advance, however, that there'll be no issues for stewards to perform the usurpation there. The "target" has no edits or deleted edits since its creation.

Thanks in advance. --Joy-temporary 10:33, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- Please note that stewards won't perform renamings or usurpations on wikis with active bureaucrats. That's tedious but that's the current policy for us. I'm doing the "0 'crat" requests for now. -- Dferg ☎ talk 12:48, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- Like I said, that's fine, but you need to insist on bureaucrats maintaining their respective entries in the index of pages where renaming can be requested, otherwise they're not necessarily active bureaucrats. --Joy-temporary 15:21, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
Hosiryuhosi
- :meta:Hosiryuhosi – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
Please delete my SUL account. I'm not included in "Global User List" / "GlobalRollbacker List". I want to include my username in "Global User List" and "GlobalRollbacker List". if deleted , I remake my SUL account. --Hosiryuhosi 01:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- Please access Special:MergeAccount first and see if there's any error message. Deleting global accounts is not something we should do very often. If that doesn't work, we can try the global account deletion. Regards, -- Dferg ☎ talk 13:32, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- Note: I've reported a bug for this issue so PLEASE don't do anything until we can figure out what happens. -- Dferg ☎ talk 13:46, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- thanks for report. I'm not getting error message on "Special:MergeAccount". It's normal message. [25]--Hosiryuhosi 14:20, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- Note: I've reported a bug for this issue so PLEASE don't do anything until we can figure out what happens. -- Dferg ☎ talk 13:46, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
I remember some while ago former steward Manuelt15 had the same problem. In his case he deleted his global account, recreated the global account and the lost global rights were granted by other stewards. After that, he was finally visible in the list of global accounts and (more importantly) the automatically generated list of stewards. Strange was that he had access to all the tools of the stewards et cetera, so that's not the problem. I think it's indeed a bug and maybe others have the same problem too. Trijnstel 16:55, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- Deleting the global account and recreating it might well solve the problem, yes. The reason I'm holding this is because I've reported a bug and I would be good if they can have a current example on what I described. Regards, -- Dferg ☎ talk 16:57, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- Can you point me to the bug? Ruslik 15:53, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- After a quick search, I think this is the bugreport. Trijnstel 16:54, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- Can you point me to the bug? Ruslik 15:53, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
