Harry
Status: Not done
- Wiki: en.wikipedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Harry~enwiki (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Harry (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Sorry if this is not the proper method, but I have read around and think it applies best here... Is it possible to get access to a name that someone else seems to have globally? If I look at Harry, it shows his global auth was made before mine... however, his enwiki account was made on 23 April 2015, whereas mine says it was earlier -- on 21 April 2015. Does he have the right to the enwiki username because of his global account, or is it possible to change it for one wiki? I don't honestly care for the global names and don't want to fight with anyone, I just want to be able to use the name "Harry" on enwiki again if it's at all possible; it was the name I have had for a while and where my edits have all been done on. Again, sorry if this isn't proper place. Thank you!
- Not done I'm sorry to inform you that due to globalization, he owns the SUL will get full control of the username, globally. They cannot be renamed individually for this purpose. So your request is not possible for technical reasons.—cyberpower ChatHello! 12:56, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

thanks but unfortunately somehow my discussion page is lost or doesn't work... :( could you please help with it? --Ppiioottrr (talk) 13:51, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Ppiioottrr, can you link to the discussion page that you think isn't working? —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 13:58, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
yes, please: under the link to my talk page appears https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyskusja_wikipedysty:Ppiioottrr~plwiki --Ppiioottrr (talk) 14:02, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Ppiioottrr: That seems to be caused by this redirect; that redirect also appears to be your current talk page. Just edit the redirect page and remove the redirect. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 14:06, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
ok. thanks. buy now I have no discussion at all... where is my "old" talk page? --Ppiioottrr (talk) 14:17, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Ppiioottrr: I think I know what went wrong here. Looks like Cyberpower678 forgot to disable the creation of redirects when he renamed the old account, so a redirect was created from Dyskusja_wikipedysty:Ppiioottrr to Dyskusja_wikipedysty:Ppiioottrr~plwiki. That redirect probably prevented Dyskusja_wikipedysty:Piotrjutkiewicz from being moved to Dyskusja_wikipedysty:Ppiioottrr. Oh dear, looks like I shouldn't have told you to edit that redirect page. You will have to ask a local admin to delete Dyskusja_wikipedysty:Ppiioottrr and then move Dyskusja_wikipedysty:Piotrjutkiewicz to Dyskusja_wikipedysty:Ppiioottrr. Sorry for the inconvenience. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 14:22, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
ok. thanks for your help. i'm to contact a local admin. --Ppiioottrr (talk) 14:36, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req

- Reason: I previously controlled this username, but it was renamed to en:User:Carl Fredrik~enwiki. No other accounts with the name Carl Fredrik exist, apart from a Swedish account not having been active for at least 5 years, despite this the globalization broke my old account. As I have become more and more active on Wikipedia I wish to associate my account with my given name more closely.

- I'd like to usurp my old Spanish account. Isn't it possible to usurp a local account? I've seen it happen before. I might have used the wrong words, I meant usurping rather than merging. If this isn't possible either, I guess I'll ask a local administrator. Thank you. --Novelon123 (talk) 18:38, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I created the username MatheMezzaMorphis163 in my mid-teens very nearly ten years ago, and while the number 163 and the album Mezzamorphis are still very important to me, I'd like to request a username slightly more professional and more in line with my wider Internet identity, if that's okay. :) The username listed above exists only on Wikibooks, and has no recorded edits; I have left a usurpation message on the user's talk page. I am not entirely sure whether I have followed the proper protocol, as the link to 'instructions' at the top of this page takes me to a subheading that does not exist; if I need to perform any other steps, please let me know, and I will be happy to carry them out. —MatheMezzaMorphis163 (talk) 13:51, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi @MatheMezzaMorphis163: I can usurp the existing Aleph Null account for you, but I'd need to wait a month after notifying the current owner (even though they haven't logged in in over two years).

- That may be well and true for you, but users of other wikis may take exception to a blocked user being renamed, especially since you seemed to have an issue with sock puppets on the english Wikipedia. Also the target username you requested is taken. Your rename can simply not be done as this request currently stands. I have however, raised this issue with the other renamers, to see if I could/should make an exceptions to your three blocks.—cyberpower ChatHello! 16:22, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: I lost my password for my previous account "Sebschlicht" and didn't add a mail address. I don't know if this page is the right one for this request, but I think it matches best. However. I did a lot of contributing to the MOOC Interface at the english and german Wikiversity and I need my old account in order to build a MediaWiki extension that replaces this prototype. I can prove that I am v:User:Sebschlicht, because the user page links to my former advisor, v:User:Renepick, that will confirm my identity. In addition, I used my mail address sebschlicht@uni-koblenz.de in the global MOOC configuration I developed with my old account. Thus I request to merge the two users or at least reset my password, by sending a change password link to this, confirmed mail address. I hope somebody can help out.
- Well we cannot merge user accounts. As stated above and for us to reset a password to an email, the account would have to be associated with one. Unless the sysadmins want to/can actually do something, your account is lost. I leave someone else to comment here in case I'm missing something.—cyberpower ChatHello! 12:51, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- Not done Since no one else has commented here, I'm closing this as not doable.—cyberpower ChatHello! 22:51, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Hoo man: Could you perhaps look into this? --Vogone (talk) 22:54, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- That looks pretty good already, it would be nice if René could also contact me via mail (Special:EmailUser/Hoo man) briefly to confirm this (he knows me, I'm Marius). Cheers, Hoo man (talk) 13:20, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hey Hoo man, I notified Rene and I hope he will contact you soon. Thank you for dealing with this non-regular request!--Sebschlicht2 (talk) 14:51, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
- I have just sent an email. I am amazed about this process for the five largest web site in the world. This is epic --Renepick (talk) 06:40, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
- On hold pending response from User:Hoo man.—cyberpower ChatHello! 18:19, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
- The email has been added to the global user Sebschlicht. Cheers, Hoo man (talk) 10:33, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
- And with that, the resources now exist to recover the target account. Flagging as Done—cyberpower ChatHello! 15:08, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

- It's unclear what you want us to do.—cyberpower ChatHello! 19:08, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not much familiar with wikimedia practices. I was redirected here from c:User talk:Rehman#Request: merge users, please. If it were possible to run Special:UserMerge with
Old user (merge from): Ale2006-from-en New user (merge to): Ale2006
- that would do it. If the tool was removed, requires too much verifications, or that cannot be done for whatever reason, I'll wait. I'm aware that could mean waiting forever. Meanwhile I'll continue to use the old name, except if asked to do otherwise. I don't know why the need arose to use a global user-id.
