@Calvinius: Do you own the global account "MartinGrandjean"? If so, you have to do a confirmation edit using that account and thus confirming it's your account. --Stryn (talk) 13:23, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
@Stryn: Yes I do (but do you want a confirmation here or on the Commons profile?), it was an incomplete attempt a few months ago... Please note that I request an username change only for the 'Calvinius' Commons account (that means that the other accounts bound by this 'MartinGrandjean' global account can be deleted). Thanks for your work! --MartinGrandjean (talk) 18:27, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
So I confirm that this previous message is from me ;) To be clear, my wish would be to keep my Calvinius username for every projects (Calvinius) except for Wikimedia Commons, where I wish to use the MartinGrandjean username (I hope it's understandable). --Calvinius (talk) 18:38, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Eu precisa renomear a conta o nome "Medroso" porque inicialmente Eu faria um teste no mundo Wiki e não imaginava que iria se apegar com o projeto.

Unfortunately it's been decided that having unified accounts with the same name should be the norm (so things like a central watchlist could work), and that those with most edits/flags have priority. -- Mentifisto 04:55, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Stryn, thank you for the reply. As I explained in the link above, I do not have an account. I tried to create the account "tshombe" but received the message that it was already in use. Elsewhere, however, I'm told the account is not registered and has been renamed at tshombe~enwiki. I would like to claim "tshombe," and use it everywhere. What do I need to do to claim the name and begin logging into the account? Thank you!

Actually 233 edits is pretty much... I would kindly ask you to choose another username that is available. --Stryn (talk) 16:35, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
Yes, but those edits were made a long time ago and the account is stale. And apart from the kk.wiki, the name has not ever been used in any other global wiki. I would expect that there would be a case of precedence for a user with 52,000+ edits in comparison to a stale one with 200. Mar4d (talk) 18:26, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
The account is and has been used by another person, we respect their contributions and the name is not available; we ask that you choose another.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:50, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
What if I capitalize the letters (User:KHAN). I believe that one's not taken. And also, if I can use the capitalized name, would I be able to redirect User:Khan to it on the English Wikipedia? (User:Khan is not registered on en.wiki). Mar4d (talk) 06:50, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
The anti-spoof extension will reject the request. We are trying to get names that do not confuse with others. And yes, pretty much all the good simple user names have been taken, and have been for many years. Please choose again.  — billinghurst sDrewth 05:45, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

  stalemate. We cannot delete accounts, and you have not selected a username to which we can move you, so I will close this request, and if you find a username that suits you, then please submit a new request.

There has been much communication about this issue to address why this has been done, what has been done, and the effects of it. There was many attempts to engage language wikis in the process by WMF over many months. There was personal contact with accounts at the end explaining exactly what was going to happen. Due diligence was undertaken.

You are one of many people being renamed due to sharing a username, as there is now the requirement for unique usernames to resolve issues and to progress development. You have been renamed to this account name, and the previous account name is not available (as per correspondence and explanation). Yes, it is a less than perfect solution for a legacy issue, though it was the best solution available, and to allow the site to continue to progress and to provide tools and features that users are demanding. We are where we are.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:58, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

it is ridiculous that WMF right to change the account name, and i don't have right to request for delete all of my edits and account??? if you don't want to change my name to former it is too simple DELETE all my account.why? because you have a ridiculous right to change username of member and It is legal wright BUT if i want to delete my account because of you changing my username is not legal?!!--Amin~fawiki (talk) 03:03, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
Mate, I don't make the rules or do the developing, I am letting you know of the limitations that exist. If you believe that you should have the right to delete an account, then please start a discussion as RFC or submit a phabricator: ticket. If you believe what has occurred is contrary to the terms of use then please follow the resolution process as expressed there. Here we are trying to do our best to assist resolve issues with the scope of our powers.  — billinghurst sDrewth 06:54, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

i tell it is in your rule that i can not delete my edits or account ok? BUT why WMF change my name? why change my name Without my permission? please show me what paragraph of your term of use or other pages in past write that wikipedia change my username in future? please show me? it is ridiculous--Amin~fawiki (talk) 08:11, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

I don't know why the decision was made to rename my accounts rather than renaming other "pooryorick" accounts, but I believe my claim on that name is far stronger than that of whoever lucked out and retained the "pooryorick" name globally. — Pooryorick~enwiki (talk) 21:49, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

TheF@fr.wikipedia and Fraf@en.wikipedia

Hi,

Before SUL I had two different local accounts, "TheF" on fr.wikipedia and commons, and "Fraf" on en.wikipedia ; "Fraf" is the username I use to take on various other project, but it was already taken when I created my account on fr., in 2008 ; the same way, "TheF" wasn't free when I created my second local account on en. ; now with the changes of the SUL, I got two global accounts ; being for now impossible to merge them together, I'd like that my second account, Fraf, would be renamed as "Fraf2" (or anything else available, please just tell me wich...), so the username "Fraf" would get free again, and then, that my main account, TheF, would be rename as "Fraf".

For what I understood, I will be able to ask for a merge of the two accounts later, when the Merge tool will be available, am I right ? And for now, that will allow me to keep contributing on both wikis without having to unlog/relog each time I switch...

Thanks for helping me, not sure I was perfectly clear, so don't hesitate to ask me for precisions (including to prove I am the same person using the two accounts, not sure I confirmed it the right way...

@BPK: If it is your account, and you wished it merged to this account we will need for you to login to the deWP account, confirm that it is here, then come back here and point us to the edit. We will then put it into the queue to be merged.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:56, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

  • Confirmation difflink: [36]
  • Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
  • Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
  • Reason: I'm transgender and have therefore changed my name and nick/pen/artistname. I haven't participated for quite a while but now would like to return but due to the aforementioned reasons want to change my username. The username I request is corresponding to my new nick/pen/artistname. Unfortunately the username is already taken but it has only two edits from years ago which were deleted due to being spam (according to a steward I asked). Said steward told me that there is currently no policy for such an usurpation but some leeway for Stewards and invited me to make a request anyway. I would be thankful if my wish would be granted.

@Autvik: It seems a reasonable request to me, but perhaps another nowiki administrator or bureaucrat could confirm. I also wonder if a merge is possible or desirable, given the circumstances. –xeno 14:03, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
On request, I can confirm that this is a message from the person I know. I leave it to him how to fix his accounts. --Bjørn som tegner (talk) 15:26, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Beste Sol, ik stel uw bijdragen zeer op prijs en het is inderdaad zeer onprettig dat uw naam, waar u onder bekend staat op Wikibooks, hernoemd is. Echter zoals reeds op uw overlegpagina op Wikibooks is uitgelegd zijn er helaas twee mensen met de naam Sol. Daarom is gekeken door een automatisch programma wie de naam het beste kan krijgen. De Duitse bijdrager heeft 10x meer bijdragen dan u. Toen u in 2011 begon op Wikibooks was de Duitse gebruiker al 7 jaar op Wikimedia actief. Verder is de Duitse gebruiker in de afgelopen jaren actiever dan u. Ik denk dat de Duitse gebruiker een goede aanspraak heeft op de naam. Graag wil ik u daarom vragen een andere naam te kiezen. Met vriendelijke groet, Taketa (talk) 09:45, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
U doet een aanname. Heeft die andere gebruiker überhaupt wel bezwaar gemaakt tegen een naamsverandering? Verder stamt de laatste edit van de Duiste Sol uit 2012. Overigens als ik de Sol gebruiker opzoek in User_talk:Sol#Your_account_will_be_renamed, dan staat er op die pagina te lezen:
   Your account here on the English Wikipedia is not eligible to have a cloak (less than 250 edits)...
   If you don't own either of those accounts, I can't set you a cloak
Daarop volgt verder geen reactie, dus ik verwacht dat dat niet een en dezelfde eigenaar was.
(Ik heb overigens ingelogd, maar mijn UID wordt nog steeds niet herkend.)
Verder vind ik op de Duitse gebruiker helemaal geen 10x meer bijdragen en al helemaal niet in volume. Blijkbaar wegen het aantal projects zwaarder dan het aantal edits. Maar het project waar ik aan werk is een BOEK en niet een artikel! Rond dat boek bevindt zich een gehele community. Ik heb de "andere" Sol's 6 edits found in 9 projects doorgekeken, maar dat is qua volume minder. Ik snap dus niet waarom ik minder recht op het behouden van mijn naam zou hebben dat die anderen?
Er kloppen meer dingen niet. Wanneer ik die inactieve Duitse Sol user opzoek, dan zit deze in de usergroup: "autoreview". Als ik doorklik op de artikelen waaraan hij gelinkt is en ik kijk in de history daarvan, dan komt Sol niet eens voor in de lijst van editors. Het hele zaakje stinkt wat mij betreft om de volgende redenen:
- De gebruiker is niet actief
- Bewijs van zijn zogenaamde 1.600 bijdragen is niet te vinden. Hij komt bijna nooit voor in de artikelen waaraan hij gelinkt is.
- Heeft die inactieve gebruiker ooit bezwaar gemaakt tegen een rename van de naam Sol?
- De gebruiker lijkt geautomatiseerd edits te hebben gemaakt omdat die in de groep "autoreview" zit.

Beste Sol, zie [38]. Zoals te zien heeft de Duitse gebruiker 1600+ bijdragen. Klik op het nummer en je krijgt de bijdragen te zien. Verder kun je op die pagina zien op welke projecten hij accounts heeft. Hij heeft gedurende een periode van jaren bijgedragen. Meest recent idd in 2012. Uw meest recente bijdrage voor hernoeming was 2013. Dit beschouw ik als onvoldoende argument. De Engelse gebruiker is niet verbonden aan de account van de Duitse gebruiker. De groep autoreview maakt geen automatische bewerkingen. Dit zorgt enkel dat men een controle over slaat. Het zorgt voor logboek acties en niet voor bewerkingen. Dit is geen onderdeel van de bijdragen. Het betekent enkel dat deze persoon vertrouwen geniet binnen diens project. De naam is toewezen aan de Duitse gebruiker. Dit betreft een serieuze account. Enkel in extreem duidelijke gevallen wordt een hernoeming herzien. In dit geval geef ik zelfs de voorkeur aan de Duitse gebruiker. Daarom zie ik geen reden dit te herzien. Je kunt het beste een andere naam kiezen. Met vriendelijke groet, Taketa (talk) 19:04, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Dat is het hem nu juist. Die lijst klopt niet. Als ik willekeurig doorklik op die 1600+ zogenaamde bijdragen, dan komt UID Sol heel vaak niet eens voor in de geschiedenis van de pagina's. Wel zie ik edits van een ander gebruikers ID: "Sol1" voorkomen in die lijst (zie bijvoorbeeld deze entry https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kapitalismuskritik&action=history uit de lijst). Het lijkt wel of die lijst alle entries bevat waarin het deelwoord "Sol" voorkwam. Het heeft dus verkeerde dingen meegeteld. Wanneer ik op "Sol1" search dan krijg ik duizenden bijdragen te zien. Wanneer ik hier zoek op de oude Duitse "Sol" identiteit, dan kom ik slechts 20 bijdragen tegen op de.wikipedia.org. Gebruiker Sol1 had echter niet de Sol identiteit en lijkt die nu wel te hebben!
Ik vind het heel jammer dat mijn Sol identiteit nu naar een inactieve gebruiker is gegaan op basis van de edits van een "Sol1" identiteit. Terwijl ik al jaren actief een boek modereer, waar een gehele community aan bijdraagt. De naam Sol is een personal brand. Ik ben bekend onder die naam ook in die community. Dat is in jaren tijd opgebouwd.

Hi Teevati, the "Grove~enwiki" account has 0 edits. Combining 0 edits with the "Teevati" account would not change anything. Also we currently do not have the tools to merge accounts (all we can do is swith local accounts). All the best, Taketa (talk) 05:47, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi Taketa, thank You for a swift response. I didn't realise that I hadn't made any edits with "Grove" (now "Grove~enwiki) before adding "Teevati" as a global account back in the day. Regards. Teevati (talk) 06:08, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Arvedui@global

Status:    nothing to do

I got a notice on Meta here that the name Arvedui was taken and would need to be changed, but I've been Arvedui at en.wiki since at least early 2005 as well as most every other wiki account I've ever joined over the past decade. Is it possible that I'm conflicting with my own name somehow? Is there really another Wikimedia Arvedui predating me? --Arvedui (talk) 09:01, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

  Not done It's not taken; as you see you're logged in as "Arvedui" so it is very likely that you still own the account. You got the message on March, and your Meta account was attached to global account in April. --Stryn (talk) 13:48, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
Oh good. I wasn't sure of the timeframe for the global name-changes and if they had already happened yet or not. Thanks! --Arvedui (talk) 05:10, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
