Forced user renames coming soon for SUL

Hi, sorry for writing in English. I'm writing to ask you, as a bureaucrat of this wiki, to translate and review the notification that will be sent to all users, also on this wiki, who will be forced to change their user name on May 27 and will probably need your help with renames. You may also want to help with the pages m:Rename practices and m:Global rename policy. Thank you, Nemo 13:07, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

WP:USURP

Hi! Please review my request here. Faizan -Let's talk! 10:20, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Sure. I can't see any issues, so you just need to wait 7 days from the time you first notified the target account. WJBscribe (talk) 10:24, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

OK, Thank you very much! Faizan -Let's talk! 10:30, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

And Will I get a global account? Faizan -Let's talk! 10:32, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

You should do. Once you've been renamed, log in with the new name, go to Special:MergeAccount and follow any instructions there. There are a few unattached accounts on other wikis, which won't be included in the global account until SUL finalisation is complete in about a month's time (or you get renames on each of those wikis separately before then). WJBscribe (talk) 10:36, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

OK, a last question, that the "SUL finalisation" will be automatic? Faizan -Let's talk! 10:43, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes. That's the current plan. WJBscribe (talk) 10:57, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Ty.... . Faizan -Let's talk! 11:05, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Seven days have passed! Please review my request there! Thanking you in advance. Faizan -Let's talk! 10:15, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! That is a SUL account right? Faizan -Let's talk! 11:36, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Go to Special:MergeAccount and follow the instructions there to make it a global account. WJBscribe (talk) 11:38, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

But I get this message then:"No accounts could be confirmed using this password." Faizan -Let's talk! 11:42, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

That makes sense. You don't have any accounts with the name on any other project. You have successfully created a global account however, see . At end of the month, when SUL is finalised, the unattached accounts will be automatically renamed out of the way. In the meantime, you have a global account and can use it on every wiki without unattached accounts. WJBscribe (talk) 11:47, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Eating me up! Really! The link you gave me above does not even contains my en.wiki account! Lol! And when I go to other wikis, I am asked to create an account! Just a bit more guidance please! Faizan -Let's talk! 11:51, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

The link I have you does include your account, under the heading "List of local accounts" (it is the only account in that section). Try visiting Wikisource by way of example. If you're not already signed in there, you will be able to login with your username and password (you won't need to create an account) Everything is in order, don't worry about it. WJBscribe (talk) 11:57, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

After the finalisation? Under the same password? Will my contributions be retained? If yes, how? Faizan -Let's talk! 12:04, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

No, now. Go log into Wikisource as Faizan using your own password. That should work. After finalisation, you will also be able to do that on the wikis that currently have unattached accounts in the way. WJBscribe (talk) 12:09, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Ok WJB! Love you! Sorry for asking so many questions! Faizan -Let's talk! 12:12, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

But I fear that I may be renamed like "Faizan-en" on other unattached wikis! Is that true? Faizan -Let's talk! 12:16, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

It is the unattached accounts that will be renamed. Accounts that are part of the global name (enwiki, now enwikisource) will not be renamed. WJBscribe (talk) 12:21, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

No edits exist for this previous "Faizan" at all, on most projects, so cannot I get a username of "Faizan" for all projects? Just the last query, I know me disturbing you a lot, Eh..? Faizan -Let's talk! 12:26, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

If you wanted, you could visit each project with an unattached account and request usurpation of the unattached account. But it would be a waste of time as this will all happen automatically when SUL is finalised at the end of the month. WJBscribe (talk) 12:33, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Oka! Thanking you, meet you after finalisation. Faizan -Let's talk! 12:34, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Username Usurpation : E3's Account → E3

Hello,

This concerns a request that I have placed about a Username Usurpation . I am replying here as I was not quite sure if I should edit the aforementioned section or on this talk page. Sir, while reply was "Are you able to provide confirmation that this used to be your account? It only made one edit (6 years ago), so that doesn't give us much to go on.", yet I have not claimed that the account is mine, I saw that the account was old and unused and as I am commencing a fresh start on Misplaced Pages and I use the username "E3" on multiple platforms, I placed my request "to regain access to an old account and put it into effective use". I hope I did not cause a misunderstanding or confusion.

Please let me know if I could be of assistance. Best regards and thank you.

E3 (talk) 11:03, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

When you said you wanted to "regain access" to the account, that suggested you previously had access to it, which is why I asked what I did.
You say you are commencing a fresh start, did you used to edit under a different name? You don't have to tell me, but it might help with your request, as your current account is very new and we usually only allow usurpation of inactive accounts for established contributors (so we know the names will be put to good use). WJBscribe (talk) 11:09, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello. Yes, you are absolutely right. I merely wanted to imply my purpose, i.e., if the account is of no further use, would it be possible for me to gain access to the username. Sorry for the inconvenient misunderstanding. And yes, I used to edit under a different name, I have sent you an e-mail with a link to the old account. Best regards and thank you. E3 (talk) 12:05, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Noted. I will rename you. WJBscribe (talk) 13:01, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your much-appreciated assistance.

Best regards

Rename User:Weapon X (de)?

In light of Single User Login finalisation, would you like me to rename you to "Weapon X" here, so all your contributions are under the same name on each project? WJBscribe (talk) 13:23, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes please!  :-) (...I allready send an email to User:Dweller to do that and other things) Thanks very much !!! -- Weapon X (de) (talk) 13:28, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

No worries, will do. You'd best log out as it can confuse the system if we rename users who are logged in. I will rename you in 5 minutes. WJBscribe (talk) 13:30, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Done! You will need to go to Special:MergeAccount (possibly from dewiki) to add the account to your global one. WJBscribe (talk) 13:50, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Done! That was easy! ;-) -- Weapon X (talk) 13:56, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Could you do the same for my bother? Renaming User:Projekt2501 (en) to User:Projekt2501? He then will create the global user account by himself... -- Weapon X (talk, contribs) 16:16, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Done. WJBscribe (talk) 12:33, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks very much !!! :-) -- Projekt2501 (talk) 16:23, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

I do not understand why you have protected this article as there is little vandalism and this article is not very popular. Ritviksaharan14.96.58.43 (talk) 12:34, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

It was protected due to edit warring over a content dispute. I see little sign that the dispute has been resolved, but have unprotected the article anyway. If the edit warring continues, the page will be protected again. WJBscribe (talk) 10:48, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Ideas

Hi Will. Based on some recent discussions I have quickly drafted this. It is in no way definitive, but the effort is to keep it very simple and on track. If you have time, you are most welcome to weigh in and develop this further on its talk page or tweak the draft until such times if and when a collaborative effort can be moved to RfC space.

Usurpation request

Can you please complete my usurpation request from Surfer → Surfer43? I regret usurping in the first place from Surfer43 → Surfer because every time I want to go edit another Wikimedia Project, I have to log in again. Coming back, same thing. You've completed other requests recently. Mine is a no-brainier because both accounts agree. Thanks, Surfer43 (talk) 13:48, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Wow, I'm in my old account Surfer43 (talk) 13:48, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Username change

Can you please change my username? Link → Vijay 21:22, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
