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!

Mitar

Status:    In progress

I want to usurp the following accounts (for SUL).

--Mitar (talk) 02:11, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please contact any of the local bureaucrats (I can't find a general request page, but they are all active). --MF-W 02:29, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kukac

I want to be renamed to KWiki with the following account:

Status:    Done

The request is only for the Bosnian Wikisource (I don't know what is the abbreviation for it; sorry). The reason is unification. I asked Demicx on the local level to rename me, but he said that user "KWiki" already exists although I never used my new name on BS Wikisource (as I can remember), so can you help me to solve this issue, please? Thank you in advance. P. S: I'm not familiar with these things, so: sorry once again if I made a mistake in the request. -- Kukac (talk) 22:28, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please, confirm that account KWiki belongs to you. Ruslik (talk) 18:25, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
OK, here I am. I just hope that you will believe me. :) -- KWiki (talk) 12:33, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done Ruslik (talk) 18:37, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. -- KWiki (talk) 19:28, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jeltfr

Status:    In progress

I want to be renamed to Jelt. I already possess the account on the French wikipedia, but I can't have a SUL because of a Jelt on a the japanese wikipedia. It was refused on the japanese wikipedia because "target username already existed, and every usurpation requests closed from 17 July 2013, as per local-policy. Anyway you haven't qualifications for requesting usurpation of the username". Here is the link to my request on the English wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Changing_username/Simple#Jeltfr_.E2.86.92_Jelt and on the Japanese: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:USURP#Jeltfr_.E2.86.92_Jelt

Jeltfr (talk) 08:32, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm unclear what you are requesting. We cannot override the jawiki decision. Where are you asking to be renamed? QuiteUnusual (talk) 09:43, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I want my English account to be renamed Jelt and fused with my French account. Is it possible or should I give up my username?Jeltfr (talk) 11:54, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I see. This is done on enwiki on the basis of the request you have already raised there. It isn't possible to "fuse" accounts except via SUL. Have you tried visiting Special:Mergeaccount while logged in as Jelt on frwiki? QuiteUnusual (talk) 13:49, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
My problem is that I can't login on wikimedia with my French account. It only works on the frwiki, and nowhere else. Jeltfr (talk) 15:53, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have the global account Jeltfr which is active on enwiki, frwiki, jawiki, metawiki and nlwiki. It has no conflicting local accounts which would belong to someone else. When you log in as Jeltfr, you are logged in globally with that name.
You also seem to have the account Jelt on frwiki (22 edits), for which there is no corresponding global account. However, on jawiki there is a user with the same name with 531 edits, and on nlwiki there is one with 2 edits. Because there is no global account, you are not logged in globally when you log in as Jelt@frwiki.
During the SUL finalization, your account Jelt@frwiki would be renamed to Jelt~frwiki@global, and the account Jelt@nlwiki will be renamed to Jelt~nlwiki@global. Jelt@jawiki will receive the global account, as he has the highest number of edits. You have the following options now:

  • Either your choose to be renamed from Jelt to Jeltfr on frwiki; and use Jeltfr as your global account name everywhere.
  • Or you make more than ~510 edits now with your account Jelt@frwiki before the SUL finalization happens, by which you would receive the global account under that name (you could then afterwards request your Jeltfr accounts to be added to that SUL account)
  • Or you try to talk to the jawiki bureaucrats again whether they do not want to have the courtesy to make an exception and rename Jelt@jawiki anyway, because that account is blocked as a sockpuppet since 5 years; and your account on frwiki is in fact older than that sock (24 July 2006 vs. 19 August 2007). Then as well you could get your account unified under the global name Jelt.
  • Or you choose a new name altogether. --MF-W 16:11, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your answer. I think I'll just rename my account as Jeltfr everywhere, and try later to usurp the SUL Jelt when I'll have more contributions. The other solutions seem too complicated to me. Jeltfr (talk) 07:42, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, in this case you can either do nothing now; or if you want to have those 22 edits you made on frwiki as "Jelt" to be registered under your global account name", then request on frwiki that your Jeltfr account there with 3 edits gets renamed to something else, and that the Jelt accounts with 22 edits gets renamed to Jeltfr.
However, you will most likely not be able to take over the name Jelt later. That would only be possible in the cases described above (point 2/3). --MF-W 16:05, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Родолюбец

Status:    In progress

Hi there. Without I created a user account, I want to get back the previous settings. I have many profiles for renaming, now I see that is a problem for them. I am an active member of the Bulgarian Wikipedia. Please help!? --Targovishtenec bg (talk) 15:07, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What's the problem exactly? --MF-W 15:09, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I created user accounts in about 50 sections of Wikipedia, as the projects Wikidata, Meta Wiki with the name "Targovishtenec_bg", only in Serbian Wikipedia am "Народняк". In the future, looking to rename to "Родолюбец". At the moment I can not sign in "Targovishtenec_bg" and "Народняк" individually with its unified user account "Родолюбец". I can not edit with username "Родолюбец", user page "Targovishtenec_bg" and "Народняк". Now I do not know what to do ... --Targovishtenec bg (talk) 16:23, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
CentralAuth can only connect accounts with the same name. You would need to rename your other accounts to Родолюбец in order to be able to attach them to your unified account. --MF-W 17:11, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Elysion

Status:    In progress

Hi there, I'm from zhwiki and I'm trying to usurp the following accounts: (the jawiki has redirected its users to make usurpation requests here)

You can find on my home page a confirmation to these requests. p.s. It seems that the account on meta has been blocked indefinitely last year. I have no idea who the last user was or what he/she did with the account, but I'd appreciate it if you can help me unblock it once it has been usurped :P --123.120.152.65 16:29, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

mediawikiwiki Done. --Krenair (talk • contribs) 22:53, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done for jawiki as well. You can request it for Meta on Meta:Changing username. The block was on mediawiki.org by the way, not on Meta, and it transferred to the renamed account. --MF-W 23:45, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Anglerfisch

Status:    In progress

I want to usurp the following account

It looks like the account was created automatically, but I can't add it to SUL nor request a password reset ('There is no email address recorded for user "Anglerfisch".'). Confirmation of the request here --212.255.237.205 19:07, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You need to request usurpations on Meta here. --MF-W 21:06, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! --212.255.237.205 22:44, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oona

I am sitting with w:pt:user:Oona, who is trying to create an SUL account for that user. It seems to be blocked. What's the right way to proceed? –SJ talk  06:16, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What's the error message? Was pt:Special:Mergeaccount visited while logged in? --MF-W 06:20, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Correction: there was no error. But I would like to usurp w:ceb:User:Oona at ceb.wp --Oona (talk) 06:47, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Please request it to the local bureaucrat ceb:user talk:Jordz. --MF-W 16:54, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

T34

Status:    Not done

Hi there, I'm from dewiki and I'm trying to usurp the following accounts:

--t34 06:53, 14 August 2013 (UTC), thank you!

Please see Index of pages where renaming can be requested; all three projects have active bureaucrats so the usurping needs to be requested locally. QuiteUnusual (talk) 07:52, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Eldarion

Status:    Not done

I want to usurp this [1] account for SUL. Couldn't find the correct code for below template. --Eldarion (talk) 08:56, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please wait for the SUL finalization to move it away automatically; the wiki is locked anyway and you wouldn't be able to create a new account. --MF-W 16:40, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
