WP:CHU/SUL

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

New requests should be made at WP:CHU or WP:USURP as appropriate.

This page was a temporary forum for the processing of username changes that related to the migration to single unified login (SUL) between June 2008 and April 2010. Prior to this, it served as a holding pen for requests that could not be completed due to bugs in the SUL renaming process.

Instructions

For the instructions that were in use at the time this page was closed to new requests, see Wikipedia:Changing username/SUL/Front matter/Instructions

Notes

When the rename has been completed, your account will have been renamed, and any contributions you have made (including deleted contributions) will be reattributed to your new account as a background process. Your account preferences, watchlist contents, password, etc. will all be preserved, and your user and user talk pages will have been moved to the new name.
Note: The process responsible for reallocating old contributions is currently dependent upon the job queue mechanism. As such, you may find old contributions do not immediately appear under your new account; this is perfectly normal. Updates should take at most a day to complete, although the length of time will vary according to the size of the job queue on this wiki, and the status of the server processes which process this queue.
The change will appear in the user rename log and the request will be moved to the archives in the interest of transparency. It is not possible to rename accounts without an entry being created in the log.
This change will not affect signatures you have already left on talk pages, or other places where you signed your username with ~~~~. Those pages will continue to display your signature (including the link to your old username) unless edited manually.
Be aware: Once you have been renamed, your old account will no longer exist and may potentially be recreated by a third party. This is true even if your old account pages have been redirected towards your new account. To guard against impersonation, you may wish to recreate the old account yourself.

A few users have agreed to provide assistance with the mechanics of this process. If you wish to assist as well, please read the linked page carefully.

Rambos Alt → Rambo

Current username: Rambos Alt (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Target username: Rambo (talk · contribs · global contribs · logs · block log)
Datestamp: 18:57, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
For bureaucrat use: SUL report (old • new) | Email target username (1) (2)
Confirmation link: This is an alternative of my main account Rambo's Revenge (talk · contribs) (confirmed here). After discussion [1][2] it was decided that a usurp would be feasible. The reasons for my wish is that the " ' " in my name means that I can't import any scripts I were to make into my monobook, because importing scripts would just call on 'User:Rambo'. Additionally I noticed one day this which lists my flaggedrev contributions under User:Rambo, presumably for similar reasons. I then wish to get the SUL of Rambo if possible, with this suggesting that it may be feasible. Rambo's Revenge II (talk) 18:57, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: Rambo is not unified anywhere, but what about the Rambo on enwikiquote, its home wiki, is that yours? It has edits not even a year old. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:30, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tomreves → Snooker

Current username: Tomreves (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Target username: Snooker (talk · contribs · global contribs · logs · block log)
Datestamp: 19:23, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
For bureaucrat use: SUL report (old • new) | Email target username (1) (2)
Confirmation link: [3] Tomreves (talk) 19:23, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Please use lt:Specialus:Sujungti sąskaitas on lt-wiki to unify the account first before this request can proceed. Regards So Why 20:12, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did so. Tomreves (talk) 07:24, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: Has this been done? --Dweller (talk) 13:42, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently done by Nihonjoe via WP:CHU [4] Regards So Why 14:56, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lesv → Lvogel3

Current name: Lesv (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: Lvogel3 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
For global renamer: rename user
Reason: Lesv exists on sv.wikipedia.org that is not me, I'm trying to create a single signon.

Confirmation link: [FULLURL] lesv (talk) 08:15, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Since you have the unified login for this name, you can go to sv:Wikipedia:Byte av användarnamn on sv-wiki and request to usurp "lesv" there. If you don't want to do so, please go to WP:CHU to be renamed. This page is only to request usurpation if you created the unified login somewhere else and don't control the username here, not vice versa. Regards So Why 09:34, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1Chaan → Chaan

Current username: 1Chaan (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Target username: Chaan (talk · contribs · global contribs · logs · block log)

For bureaucrat use: SUL report (old • new) | Email target username (1) (2)
Confirmation link: [5] Chaan (talk) 15:01, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I hereby confess that I don't fully understand how this works. If you want me to edit my own wiki homepage about me on swedish Wikipedia (for verification) please tell me. What I have now contributed is a link to an article edit I performed there the other day. It's about a road construction plan in Stockholm - I don't have any clue how it would prove it's actually me - but I have now followed your instructions by instinct and hope it helps so I can now usurpe the obsolete english wiki Chaan account. I have also written some swedish wiki articles from scratch and plan to start using the english version more now on. Thank you for your concern, Chaan (talk) 15:01, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have been backed up on a page where I first described the situation, here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive600#Chaan.2C_it.27s_me Chaan (talk) 14:57, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - backed up did not mean "problem solved" but "should be possible"! Chaan (talk) 13:38, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Uhm and if in doubt, I hereby promise that I will not try to take over the japanese or the chinese Chaan's Wikipedia accounts.Chaan (talk) 01:10, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Bureaucrat note: Please provide a link confirming that you are Rosewood on pl.wikipedia.org. (X! · talk) · @110 · 01:37, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Clerk note: Have asked plwiki Rosewood to confirm that (s)he is MaryRosewood here. Also, I think the rename is from MaryRosewood to Rosewood and hence I've fixed the title. Pmlineditor ∞ 05:58, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
