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}}

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:

--L 11:11, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

--62.226.141.119 16:24, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done the io.wiki and nov.wiki--Nick1915 - all you want 16:43, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Some more wikis without reaction from the local crat:

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

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]

thank you. --L 10:17, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ramir

Status:    Not done

Greetings to appointed Stewards of the Wikimedia Foundation. UNDER TWO IMPORTANT CONDITIONS would I like to unify my account:

  1. THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL IT BE PERMITTED THAT MY LOGIN DETAILS, OR ANY PRIVATE DATA HOWEVER AVAILABLE THROUGH MY USE OF WIKIMEDIA WEBSITES, BE MADE ACCESSIBLE, IN ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT WAY, TO ANYONE AFFILIATED WITH ANYONE INVOLVED, IN THE PAST, OR EVER, IN RUSSIAN WIKIPEDIA.
  2. That my ‘main’ user-login is that at the English Wikipedia, not, as it shews presently, the Russian Wikipedia.

To the best of my memory I have not ever held possession of user-account "Ramir" at ar.wikipedia.org. I have failed to remember, or to confirm otherwise, my connection with "Ramir" accounts on the following: en.wiktionary.org, es.wikipedia.org, fi.wikipedia.org, pt.wikipedia.org
Thanks if you would help me. Ramir 04:48, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All these wikis have local bureaucrats. Please, ask them locally. Ruslik 07:14, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Ramir. As you can see here, your account is already unified. Whether an account is unified or not does not affect the handling of your private data in any way as far as I know. For information about how your private data is handled, you may want to read the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy.
Your home wiki is decided automatically by the software when you first unify your account. Ru.wikipedia was the project where you had the most edits at the time (and still do), so it was decided as your home wiki. The only way to change that would be to wait until you have more edits on en.wikipedia than ru.wikipedia and then unify your account again. Jafeluv 07:17, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What of the “Check User” business then? There are known cases of privacy-theft on ru.wikipedia (sorry, no English-language links), — I just want them not to have further access, like, to my use of commons.wikimedia.org, mostly. Complicated stuff. Ramir 22:32, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ekin

Status:    Done

I want to usurp the following accounts. I hold the claim to the SUL of username Ekin. All of them have 0 (zero) edits and contributions.

--Ekin 10:19, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done mswikt; others all have local bureaucrats that can perform the usurpation, please ask them. -- Mentifisto 10:39, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Marked as done since no more actions from our part are needed. -- Dferg ☎ talk 09:43, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Moises

Status:    In progress

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.

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)[reply]

Have you tried posting a request in English? Jafeluv 20:43, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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:
Hope this helps. Jafeluv 12:01, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There also this, like it says above to read before asking here. fr33kman 16:46, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]

Galadriel

Status:    Not done

I am SUL Galadriel and want to usurp those accounts with no contributions:

Thank you Galadriel 20:34, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are as well some more accounts with some minor edits but years ago:

What must be done to usurp those accounts? Galadriel 14:23, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, you would need to ask local crats since all of those projects have them. You can get a list by typing: Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat -- Mentifisto 20:40, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
