Instructions

SUL finalization

If you are requesting a merge of a global account with one or more unconnected local accounts as part of finalizing your single unified login (SUL) username, please specify which wikis and accounts you want to merge into your global account. These accounts were typically named "account name~wikiname". Please note that we can only merge a local account into a global account when the global account has no edits on the same wiki as the local account.

How to add an entry here

To add an entry, please copy and paste the text below into the appropriate section.

=== Oldname ===
{{SRUC
|status = <!--don't change this line-->
|domain = global
|Oldname =
|Newname =
|reason = (your remarks here)
--~~~~
}}

Example

For global rename requests:

=== Example ===
{{SRUC
|status     = <!--don't change this line-->
|domain     = global
|Oldname    = Example
|Newname    = Foo
|reason     = your remarks here
--~~~~
}}


Making a request for your own account

For changing your username on one wiki:

Please include the following information in your request:

  • the old username,
  • the new username,
  • please sign ~~~~ request with your account for a simple move (first section), or sign this request with both the originating and the target accounts if you are requesting a merge (second section).

If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information. This helps ensure that you are requesting a rename for your own account. Please check before posting your request that the username you want is available. You can test that by going to the (new) user page and looking into the sidebar. If there is a link to user contributions, the account already exists, or check via Special:CentralAuth.

Private requests

Account renames are not private, once renamed many links from the old username to the new username will be permanently made. The reason submitted on the rename form (Special:GlobalRenameRequest) is private, and only visible by the renamers. Additional information that needs to be made in private may be sent using this direct wiki-email interface while logged-in.


Global requests

Two options exist for requesting renames

  1. Use the (new) request form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest; or
  2. Utilise the manual process outlined above, and submit it below in this section.

Please add new requests at the end of the section. Sections should be titled your username@global if you wish to be globally renamed.

Spike@plwiki

You have been allocated the global account by the formula determined by Wikimedia. Are you sure that you wish for this account to be moved?  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:02, 28 March 2015 (UTC)`[reply]
Hi, I am en:User:Spike. Just to give full information: The reason that pl:User:Spike/pl:User:Spike78 is requesting this name change is because I had sent him an e-mail where I had asked him for the name change so that I could take over the global account "Spike" and he had graciously accepted. User Spike (talk) 15:22, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Barte1@commonswikimedia

Barte (talk) 16:22, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Este~itwiki@global

Done. --Stryn (talk) 17:39, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requests with usurps and complex renames

Please add new requests at the end of the section. Sections should be titled your username@project name .

123chess456@global

you will need to solve locally on:
  1. arwiki
  2. cswiki
  3. dawiki
  4. dewiki
  5. dewikinews
  6. enwikibooks
  7. enwiktionary
  8. eswiki

  24. zhwiki Matanya (talk) 14:00, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Local renames are no longer possible by local users as per gerrit:160158. Thus, this is to be done by stewards. Vogone (talk) 15:30, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi User:Chess. So you want your 123chess456 accounts on commons, simplewiki, simplewikt and wikidata to be renamed to "Chess"? --MF-W 15:50, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I've usurped on enwiki, so please change all of my accounts that you are able to to "Chess". I will have to make an usurp request on every individual wiki? Chess (talk) 20:03, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is not yet "global usurpation policy", so I guess you will have to request usurpation locally for now and the bureaucrats will have to ask Stewards to fulfill those local requests. –xeno 20:36, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Per Xeno above, we can't start ignoring local usurpation guidelines, asking local bureaucrats for comment might indeed be the best solution, though we also have to keep in mind that this is atransitional period to SUL finalisation where all these accounts will be forcibly renamed. Done on es.wiki - as a local bureaucrat - and on enwikibooks and enwiktionary per previous precedents. Savhñ 20:53, 15 September 2014 (UTC) And some more (kawikibooks, trwikibooks, trwikiquote, mediawikiwiki, jawiki) based on previous precedents. Savhñ 21:37, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Two issues should be separated here: 1.) The renaming of the remaining 123chess456 accounts who have edits to the new name; 2.) The renaming ("usurpation") of the unattached Chess accounts.
In order to solve 1.), I have just done the following renames: (so please visit Special:MergeAccount)
Chess@commons->Chess (self-usurped)@commons
123chess456@commons->Chess@commons
123chess456@simple->Chess@simple
123chess456@simplewikt->Chess@simplewikt
Chess@wikidata->Chess (self-usurped)@wikidata
123chess456@wikidata->Chess@wikidata
The only remaining 123chess456'es with edits are on Meta and enwiki. That is obviously unsolvable at the moment, maybe you will want to request a merge when that function exists. --MF-W 21:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've usurped all 0-edit Chess accounts and merged the frwiki accounts. —DerHexer (Talk) 16:39, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
On hold until the merge function is available. Ajraddatz (talk) 22:47, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Planning on using User:123chess456 as an alt account, for example, vanilla interface testing, insecure wifi, public computer terminals, etc. What I would like, is to usurp the remaining users. Chess (talk) 00:41, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Chess, please clarify whether you want the edits from 123chess456 merged into your Chess account or not. For usurpation, please inform the users and hold a month. Savhñ 10:53, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Chess: Chess now belongs to you globally. There's no other users using that username anymore because they were renamed as part of SUL finalization. But please clarify do you want to merge 123chess456 with Chess when the account merge tool is available? --Stryn (talk) 17:57, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Galadrien@global

On hold until the tool to merge SULs becomes available. Ajraddatz (talk) 17:55, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I propose to decline this and process it when SUL merge is enabled. (Looks like it is not going to happen soon.) — Revi 12:36, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Pelikana@en.wikipedia (Usurp. request)

Uitgevoerd. Heb je een account op en.wiki die eventueel bij je globaal account toegevoegd moet worden? Savhñ 13:34, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, user:Pepelikana on en.wp could be merged please, ty Pelikana (talk) 13:44, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Pelikana, can you provide an edit with the Pepelikana@enwiki account, so we can confirm you own that account? Savhñ 13:52, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
here you go and ty. Can i do a request for the separated wp.de:user here too? Pelikana (talk) 13:56, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Geachte Pelikana, na het te hebben besproken met andere stewards, en aangezien nu beide accounts op en.wiki van jou zijn en je ook bovendien één bewerking hebt op nl.wiki met Pepelikana, lijkt het ons het verstandigst om te wachten op de activering van de Account-merge-tool. Hiermee zal het mogelijk worden andere accounts onder één naam samen te voegen. De verwachting is dat deze tool in de komende maand beschikbaar wordt.
Als je een ander account hebt op de.wiki die je ook aan dit accout toegevegd wenst, laat het dan hier even weten. Zodra het technisch mogelijk is, zullen we het uitvoeren. Savhñ 14:14, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Xavax@global

Placing on hold pending the deployment of AccountMerge, since you have two global accounts and have contributed with both to commons and to other projects. I have updated the confirmation diff, since the one you provided was broken. Savhñ 10:44, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

khaled@global

I have usurped all "Khaled" accounts without any live edits, so you should be able to edit all projects except de.wiki and fi.wiki with your "Khaled" account. I suggest you wait for SUL finalisation and the deployment of AccountMerge to merge these two. Alternatively, we could merge the accounts the old way (all individually) but that could lead to problems. Savhñ 14:13, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Peka@jawiki and other 3 projects

 On hold @Pekachu: before we can do anything we require for you to make this account a global account. Please follow the link in your "My Preferences" to achieve this, and let us kn when that is done. We also require those accounts that are yours under the username "Peka" each are edited on their user or user talk pages by you so that we know that they are your accounts. On the edits, simply quote [[m:Special:PermanentLink/11066304]]. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:48, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please refer my talk pages : jawb, jawt, jawn, jawp. Is this not enough? --Pekachu (talk) 09:26, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tarenor@global

I have usurped the account on en.wiki. However, since AccountMerge is not deployed yet, we can't proceed to merge. Placing this request on hold. (Confirmation diff: cs.wiki) Savhñ 14:01, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Laszlo@Global

Account merging is currently not possible. Ruslik (talk) 20:01, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
...But will be possible soon, so I changed the status to "on hold". Trijnsteltalk 23:15, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks both of you! Why is it not yet possible and when it will be ? 194.98.34.59 09:09, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This feature is under development (until now it was impossible). Development and testing can be maximum few more months, then it will be available. Samat (talk) 14:07, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pietro.ziveri@global

 awaiting global merge It was the solution suggested by a global renamer, to which no response was made. If you really want those 20+ edits then you will need to wait until global merge is available.  — billinghurst sDrewth 15:18, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Aharon@global

Since you have contributed with both accounts on en.wiki, we'll need to wait for AccountMerge. To allow us to merge your accounts once AccountMerge is deployed, please access en:Special:MergeAccount while logged into your Aharon account to create a global account. Otherwise, we will not be able to perform the merge. Savhñ 20:18, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've completed the form on en:Special:MergeAccount to create a global account. There appear to be a number of other accounts named 'Aharon' on other wikimedia sites. These are not mine. (Only the 'Aharon' account on en.wikipedia.org is mine.) Thank you Savh. 24.165.97.140 17:14, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Great. As soon as AccountMerge is available, the merge of these two global accounts will be completed. This is expected to be before april. (Confirmation diff) Savhñ 17:31, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you :) Aharon (talk) 16:54, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fisuaq@global

Proof about Fisuaq to Erbigon merging --Erbigon (talk) 19:43, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My suggestion would be that you simply stop using the other account, otherwise, if you really want the two edits, then On hold,  awaiting global merge since you want your username to be the account with fewer edits. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 17:19, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fys@en.wikiquote.org

 awaiting global merge tool. Also noting the discussion is confirmed as being a pertinent merge request to be undertaken.  — billinghurst sDrewth 06:45, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks to BD2412; I was just coming here to do this and found he had already done so. Please take this as confirmation. Do you want confirmation from w:User:Sam Blacketer as well? Fys (talk) 22:46, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
On the assumption that you do, please take this as authorisation to merge Fys on en.wikiquote with this SUL account. Sam Blacketer (talk) 17:27, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bob l´éponge@global

 pending merge tool  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:04, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ÖPNV-Bob l´éponge@global

You have two "old usernames"? Ruslik (talk) 20:08, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, originally I was Bob l'éponge (can't spell it correctly with my phone), then I changed to ÖPNV-Bob l'éponge to emphasize that I'm interested in railway stuff (ÖPNV is German for public transport), but because I'm so stupid I didn't noticed when I logged in with the old name, leading to the 'reactivation' of that account. Later, I chose to rename me to U-Bahnfreund (metro friend), but again I sometimes forgot the rename, meaning ÖPNV-Bob l'éponge was also 'reactivated'. Lastly, in November, I think, I kinda didn't like that name anymore so I settled on Metrophil44. Fortunatly I already discovered my faults so I didn't reactivated that account too, so I just have to let the other two be merged with my real account. -- Metrophil44 (talk) 21:28, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Currently no tools exist to perform such a complex account merge. Ruslik (talk) 07:34, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruslik0: To simply it, it's ÖPNV-Bob l'éponge and Bob l'éponge → Metrophil44. That's not complex, is it? Or do you mean, that there's no merging tool at all (yet)-- Metrophil44 (talk) 18:23, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 pending merge tool  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:04, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

GeorgeMilan@es.wikivoyage.org

 awaiting global merge tool noting a block exists at a wiki for socking, though for these accounts zero edits so should be able to proceed.  — billinghurst sDrewth 06:28, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Done locally on es.wikivoyage, since the user preferred to use his new SUL to contribute there and hadn't contributed with his new nick yet. Leaving on hold pending the merge of the rest (Ownership of both global accounts confirmed). Savhñ 16:59, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For old times' sake@global

 pending merge tool  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:02, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jerzyjan@global

You are waiting for the global user merge feature. It is coming soon… -- Samat (talk) 15:35, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Conifer@global

You already have the global account Conifer. Ruslik (talk) 19:37, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Can the remaining unattached "Conifer" accounts be usurped, or is that done locally? And is there any way to merge my old and new accounts, especially on Commons? Thanks. Conifer (talk) 04:41, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
unattached accounts have been moved so you should be able to grab those accounts.
 awaiting global merge tool  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:49, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Conifer (talk) 07:48, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Banjo@global (Usurp. request)

He usurpado todas las cuentas locales que no tenían ediciones. Las que tienen ediciones (nowiki, itwiki, commons, cs.wiki, nlwiki y dawiki) requieren un aviso al usuario, y preferiblemente una solicitud de su parte. Considerando el gran número de ediciones de las cuentas de nowiki y de itwiki, no creo que sea apropiado usurparlas por el momento, por lo cual les he dejado un mensaje informativo del caso. Las otras cuentas han sido informadas de que serán usurpadas a no ser que soliciten el cambio de nombre. En un mes, se podrá proceder a la usurpación.
En todo caso, con la finalización de SUL, también las cuentas de itwiki y nowiki serán usurpadas automáticamente. Puesto que me parece que no necesitas editar esos proyectos, prefiero dejarlo hasta el SUL finalisation.
Done for all 0-edit accounts,  On hold for commons, cswiki, nlwiki and dawiki until the 7th April, where the users have been informed that they would be usurped in a month. The accounts on nowiki and itwiki have >100 edits, and though they have been informed of approaching finalisation and given the possibility to request a rename, they should not be usurped IMO (or else, they should be informed they will be usurped with a deadline). Savhñ 10:33, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
De acuerdo, muchas gracias! thanks! -Banjo (talk) 17:45, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fullerene@global

I usurped all accounts except one at enwiki. You should notify the user at enwiki about this request and wait for an answer. Ruslik (talk) 18:31, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Done. --Fullerene (msg) 02:22, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold until 12 April  — billinghurst sDrewth 06:09, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like this has been done automatically by the system as part of SUL finalization. --Stryn (talk) 17:38, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

氷鷺@jawiki and wikidata

On hold pending the deployment of AccountMerge. Savhñ 17:59, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kett@commons

Please provide a confirmation diff from the account Ket. Once we have that, this request will be placed on hold pending the availability of AccountMerge. Savhñ 17:56, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Local request link--Ket (talk) 09:06, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
On hold pending accountmerge. Your Kett account on commons will be renamed to Kett~commonswiki, while the current Ket@commonswiki will be renamed away. Both accounts will then be merged. Savhñ 10:25, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

QuinnHK@meta.wikimedia.org

@QuinnHK: It has become a global SUL, so the only means that we have to address this is by a merge. If you wish for us to merge this then please let us know and we will move it to the section below.  — billinghurst sDrewth 05:20, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Billinghurst: Yes, that would be ideal, if it could be FinnHK globally. QuinnHK (talk) 17:38, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Awaiting for the merge tool. QuinnHK on Meta and Commons will be merged with FinnHK account when possible. --Stryn (talk) 08:33, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jaamc@enwikipedia

On hold pending accountmerge. Please provide a confirmation diff, as you did from mediawikiwiki, but from your fr.wiki account Jaam. Savhñ 10:22, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Confirmation diff from Jaam account: [23] -- Jaamc (talk) 14:23, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

UserB@commons

 On hold until 7 April We will give the user a couple of weeks to request a rename themself, before we force the account out of the way. It should be no issue to move the account of the way, and move the other into place. If not already done, it would be a good idea to sync the email addresses and passwords.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:58, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
On second thoughts, there are a lot of edits at that UserB account, and it may just be easier and more efficient to await that tool, and fully merge. Thoughts?  — billinghurst sDrewth 14:00, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Billinghurst: To clarify: I am en:User:B, m:User:B, and Commons:User:UserB. I am NOT Commons:User:B. When the finalization process completes, Commons:User:B - who is controlled by some other person - will get renamed. What I am asking for is for my Commons:User:UserB account to be renamed to Commons:User:B in his place instead of giving me a brand new account. The reason for my request is because I have a lot of edits as Commons:User:UserB that I would like to preserve. --B (talk) 22:26, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment CommentI fully understand the matter. The user at Commons will be renamed at the SUL time; you have the global account for UserB and the global account for B, and neither will be renamed as they are global. When the merge tool is available we will merge UserB to B, and you will have the Commons account with that.  — billinghurst sDrewth 11:49, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
We stewards will get access to an account merge tool soon that can merge two or more complete global accounts. Till then, I would put this request on hold. Cheers, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:43, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thank you both. --B (talk) 17:42, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SElephant@zhwiki & other projects

This seems to be easier to handle when the merge tool is available as you have 3 different usernames. --Stryn (talk) 20:43, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
When will the merge tool be available?--SElefant (talk) 10:55, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There's not any actual date yet. But hopefully soon. --Stryn (talk) 08:33, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wgarcia@global (Usurp. request)

Not done as unattached accounts will be moved away automatically as part of SUL finalization. --Stryn (talk) 17:42, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

andre@de.wikipedia

On hold pending accountmerge. --Stryn (talk) 17:44, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Andre is now Andre~dewiki. And it will be merged with Malyacko when the global account merge tool is available. --Stryn (talk) 17:45, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Copyleft@en.wikipedia

Hi @Copyleft:, if you would like to usurp unattached en wiki account that can be done, so that you can use copyleft on en wiki too. Also if my understanding is correct, you want to merge Eurobas into copyleft account, it won't be possible for now because the user merge tool is still in development--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 11:21, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Shanmugamp7: we should be able to move out/usurp the enWP account, and move in the replacement. Just will need to get user to align passwords/passwords. We would need a confirmation of the Eurobas account to be moved and merged.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:09, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Boudewijn@global

If you hold all of the other accounts, then I am inclined to process this request. However, would you consider selecting a different name to make it easier on everyone :)? Ajraddatz (talk) 06:29, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The other Bouwdewijn (commons, dewp) has been inactive for 8 years and was only active for 2 days. They also have less edits in total. I think we should give the global account to this Boudewijn (enwp, nlwp, enwn, enwk, nlwk). I suggest switching the global account choice (deleting the global account) and warning the other user of the coming SUL finalisation. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 07:05, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Ajraddatz: I understand that each request adds a manual burden on a complex project, and have considered selecting another user name. I also considered the active time of the other account: as Takata points out: it was only active on two dates (less than sixty minutes, crossing from one to the next date at midnight). Thank you for your time on this. @Takata: thanks :-)
addition for clarity: I would still like to retain Boudewijn as user name :-)

Comment Comment I don't think that this account should take precedence. Pumping up an edit account after the criteria has been made available should not be the determinator. Two years of not editing is not particularly inactive, and the counts of the other accounts of this username that are of a similar condition. I suggest that you choose another name for your account.  — billinghurst sDrewth 04:34, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Had a warning been issued to me, via e-mail or talkpage, before the "too late, you're going to be renamed" message, I would've taken care of the issue then. Since I have always only dealt with Enwiki, I never saw any of the posts on meta (and, in fact, can't even log into meta) to know that the rename was imminent. The criteria being made available wasn't really all that available. When an account has been on the brink of usurpation in the past, a notice would be put on the target account's talkpage while there was still an opportunity to do something about it. With this, no notice was given until it was too late. I did what I could immediately after direct notice was given, and I am hoping that I am doing sufficient to warrant the "override on a case-by-case basis." 65.121.182.3 16:48, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There has been much information available across and internal to wikis, eg. Wikipedia Signpost, Wikimedia Blogs, etc., and for a couple of years and it is unfortunate that you have not seen or heeded what has been available. I still see no special criteria that you have introduced that should change the basis of the current decision.  — billinghurst sDrewth 01:21, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

AS you have edited at meta you now have an account under your new name, and we either have to move the existing account out of the way to move in the old account; or we simply wait until the globalisation takes place and merge the old and the new.

I just deleted the global account (which made all the accounts unattached) to enable you to take the SUL and merge your accounts. The globalisation process is underway now and will move the unattached accounts to their new usernames. After that has finished, you will be able to expand your local wiki attached accounts, and request merges of other unattached accounts that you can verify as yours.  — billinghurst sDrewth 04:22, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Stryn:. It does not belong to me. That's the reason I want to usurp it, otherwise I would not ask for it (I was not able to register at that name because it was already registered on bswiki in 2007). It has no any edits, and very likely (99,99%) user is not going to contribute.

Carcharoth (Commons)@commons

Hi Carcharoth, I have removed the "Carcharoth" commons account (0 edits) from the "Carcharoth" global account and renamed it to "Carcharoth (renamed)". I have deleted the "Carcharoth (Commons)" global account (1 account with edits) and renamed the "Carcharoth (Commons)" commons account to "Carcharoth". All you have to do now is attach the commons account to your "Carcharoth" global account in the usual way. Simply confirm it is you by using your commons password. See commons:Special:MergeAccount. All the best, Taketa (talk) 04:35, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That is great! I had thought that the merge tool would be needed. It seems not. I knew it would help to set the two passwords to be the same before requesting this. It all seems to have worked perfectly. I now get "Login unification complete!" and all seems to be working fine. I do want at some point to put a notice on my userpage about when this transition occurred, as the Commons uploads prior to this date by either account may have been used (and credited) externally, so hopefully that will avoid any possible confusion. Many thanks to you and the other stewards (and those at the WMF who are managing this) for all your work on this. Carcharoth (talk) 01:02, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sol@nlwikibooks

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)[reply]
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.
