  • Hm, there are several other-language users using this username, however they're somewhat inactive. It still might present a problem for unification since they have several hundred edits. –xenotalk 16:09, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The work going on? There are no contributions of the user here for sure. Still the name can be changed over here to Leon, isn't it? I would like to take the SUL account. Nxxxn (talk) 09:04, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's "Leone". With an 'e'. :) The SUL account does not exist. Please look at the global contributions part. It says SUL account doesn't exist. I would like to take the SUL for this account. It has to be highlighted that this user "Leone" doesn't even have logs. Not even a single contribution. Nxxxn (talk) 17:43, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, above you wrote 'Leon' so I thought maybe you were providing alternatives. We are trying our best not to create conflicts with other global users, however this may still be permitted based on inactivity. It's under consideration and decision will be made after the hold period. –xenotalk 17:46, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually I meant Leone. Misspelled on the part... :P So at least for the English wikipedia the name can be changed, right? I would rather prefer if it is an SUL account for Leone. About how long may it take? Nxxxn (talk) 05:30, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Xeno, why it's taking so long??? Leone is completely inactive. The log is completely empty. So at least please change the name for me in English Wikipedia. But still I prefer a unified account over one which is not unified. I have waited for quite some time. If my previous message was replied then it could have been a lot easy. Anyway, about how long will it take for the hold period? Nxxxn (talk) 12:09, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • As indicated in the preamble, requests are filled after 7 days. If you "prefer a [fully] unified account", you should probably choose one that doesn't have other-language cognates which may not be eligible for usurp at the other projects due to their edit count. –xenotalk 13:51, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • So no problem even though it's not a fully unified account. Anywhere possible among all the projects please unify. My first priority is English Wikipedia. If the unification process takes longer and if I will be able to unify somewhere in the future, please let me know and change the name only here in English Wikipedia. But if the time taken for both changing here and unification is the same, a unified account from the possible projects is what I prefer. The 7 day period comes to an end today. So hope today my request is to be filled. :D Nxxxn (talk) 12:22, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • {{notdone}} As noted in the preamble, usurp requests are granted to established users to ensure that usurped usernames be put to good use. Please re-request this after you have been editing for a while. Otherwise it looks ok because only project where this username has edits is de.wiki and the user only edited their userspace and is inactive. –xenotalk 14:39, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I understand what you mean. But I have been editing from a Dynamic IP since 2007, and have only recently decided to register this account. I intended to go as "Ameena", but it was already registered. I created this account purely for the purpose of carrying out the Usurpation process. Thank you. Ameena86 (talk) 04:23, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, if it is possible and not against any rules, please do not transfer the edits from this account to the new account; because as I mentioned, I created this account purely for the purpose of carrying out the usurpation process. Thanks. Ameena86 (talk) 22:34, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well they've already created the temporary account, so it doesn't really make sense to make this 'usurp only'... Especially since if we vacate the name someone other than the requestor could scoop it up... I've just noticed target user hadn't been notified, so I've done this...

I have recently changed my username from "Wikiscient" to "WikiDao". I want to keep "WikiDao". My request here concerns the username "Wikidao" which exists but has not been used. May I usurp it solely for the purpose of redirecting it to "WikiDao" and is this request the right way to go about it?

No, I am commons:User:Boghog2. Assuming my request here is granted, I will also request that my commons user name be changed from Boghog2 to Boghog. As far as I can tell, the commons:User:Boghog account does not yet exist. Boghog (talk) 20:35, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It does exist there, see commons:Special:Contributions/Boghog. Based on the contributions, you might not be able to usurp the account there. You might consider hinging this upon the commons request, rather than the other way around. It looks fine here, but we typically try not to create SUL conflicts (though the commons user is inactive since 2 years). –xenotalk 20:38, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Opps! That was also me, the files that commons:User:Boghog uploaded are no question mine. commons:User:Boghog last edit was on 24 August 2008 and commons:User:Boghog2 first edit was on 31 August 2008. So I must have switched account names. Sorry for the confusion. Per your request, I will first try to sort things out with my commons accounts. Please put this request on hold and I will get back to your as soon as I hear something from the commons administrators. Thanks for your help. Boghog (talk) 20:53, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. This request can proceed once you enable the SUL for Boghog and certify it's you. Do note that because of your impressive edit count, it may take upwards of several weeks for all your contributions to move. –xenotalk 20:57, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Per your suggestion, my account name on commons has now been changed from Boghog2 to Boghog (see link).

As a note, I noticed the three edits were the creation of a new article, that we still have. The three edits are enough to be GFDL significant, as well. Courcelles 17:29, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Actually, it's not necessarily the creation of a new article, since the edit is not flagged with a capital "N" as is done for page creations. It's possible that there have been previous edits that have been lost many years ago. Set Sail For The Seven Seas 188° 57' 30" NET 12:35, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I would hazard a guess that such flags didn't exist in 2005. –xenotalk 15:40, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Correct. It's safe to assume the target account created that article. WJBscribe (talk) 10:27, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the editors' contributions are indeed cc-by-sa/GFDL-significant as the edits represent the genesis of the Kashmiri Gate (Delhi) article and the information originally provided persists in the article to this day. If the user happens to consent, this can proceed - you might consider sending them an email. However, I will leave this for another bureaucrat to provide a second opinion and wouldn't object if it were fulfilled. –xenotalk 15:36, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I emailed the user today and am awaiting his/her response, although it would be helpful if a bureaucrat could check out whether the user's email address is correct (= the message did not bounce). BTW, I wonder what the policy is when a user cannot be contacted due to invalid email address on file? kashmiri (talk) 05:42, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Flagged request as on hold. Set Sail For The Seven Seas 238° 34' 15" NET 15:54, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Second opinion. This is a pretty borderline call. I am reasonably satisfied that renaming a user from "Foo" to "Foo (renamed)" is unlikely to violate the GFDL (I think the belief otherwise is an overly literal reading of the GFDL obligation to preserve the history of an article). On this basis, I would likely perform this request were it to unify an existing SUL. However, in this case we are looking at a request for a new SUL, when you could request a new name that doesn't give rise to these issues, which would usually make me lean towards declining the request. In this instance however, the name has so few edits across projects that I think that would just be putting off the issue (it's a name bound to be used by an active user on some project or another some day).
So, I think this request should go ahead. But the current owner of the name should be given a full week to reply to the email he has been sent. WJBscribe (talk) 10:26, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
A full week and one day has passed since the current owner was emailed; and much longer since a suitable notice was left on his/her Talk page, to no response. As the hold expired yesterday, any chances the request will move forward soon? kashmiri (talk) 17:10, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Schvenn-Meister (talk) 00:47, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi team. I've been trying for months to log back into my old account, unsuccessfully. I was talking with one of the helpers in the chatroom who advised me to take this route. As you can see, the name Schvenn has been around since 2006 on here, but not used more than once. That's because I forgot the password and didn't attach an e-mail to it back then.

I'm very attached to the username, because I actually invented it. Only within the last year, or maybe two have other people started using this name, but very few. They've clearly found my sites at some point and thought it was a unique enough identifier to try to use, as well. Schvenn is actually a derivation of the name Sven, with a German twist. It's about protecting your online identity, as I'm sure you can understand. I'm a frequent reader of Wiki, but haven't been able to contribute because of my lapse of memory regarding this account. Your consideration is appreciated.

Note:
  • The target username has made edits to Wikipedia that are now deleted. Usernames with only deleted edits can usually be usurped.
  • The current owner of the target username does not have an email address specified.

Note I spoke to this user over IRC, in the help channel; they explained their plight. As there was no email registered, we could not request a password reset. Therefore, I suggested this procedure - creating a new account, and usurping - based on the fact the SUL is clear, and it's one edit, from 2006. Despite the low edit count / policy re. 'established users', this seems a very genuine and honest case, where the user has used the name elsewhere and would like it for consistency. Hence suggesting usurp, anticipating your benevolence and flexibility :-) Hope this is all good, thanks,  Chzz  ►  01:01, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Target username: Merridew (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
  • For renamer use: Email target username, usurp user

  • Confirmation link: [none... here]
  • Reason: Hi. I've been referred to as simply 'Merridew' in some recent discussions and think having this user name under my control with redirects to my real account a prudent move. I found that the account already exists but has no edits, log entries other than creation, and it has no sul conflicts. It was created most of five years ago (and not by me). My intent is anti-impersonation, to use it only for the redirects and not editing, and to unify it WMF-wide. Thanks.

I've now created the SUL account on meta commons and it all unified except for en:wp. I wanted to avoid anyone taking an account out there during the 7 days. Cheers, Jack Merridew 13:01, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
