Stewards: for instructions, see the steward handbook. The interface is at Special:CentralAuth. Until Bug 14330 is resolved, do not delete any global accounts that contain local accounts marked as 'confirmed by login'.
Requests for locking global accounts
- Here's a place where you can request accounts with offensive name or vandal-only contributions to be banned and hidden from global user list.
Requests for usurpation or deleting global accounts
Attention! |
---|
Stewards are not allowed to rename users on projects with active bureaucrats. Here's a list of requests for username change pages:

- Here you can request your account deletion and usurpation on wikis without active bureaucrats, or request the deletion of a global account if you need to be renamed or to usurp an account elsewhere. Please add new requests at the bottom!
- If you want to request the renaming of multiple accounts on wikis without local crats please use the format:
*{{Merging|YourName|language shortcut|project shortcut}}
- example
*{{Merging|YourName|tpi|w}} *{{Merging|YourName|ga|wikt}} *{{Merging|YourName|gd|wikt}} *{{Merging|YourName|fo|s}}

Movses
Good day. I have 11 accounts with this name and one password, but exist one another account et:Kasutaja:Movses. This user have 0 edits, so, I request for usurpation of this account. --Movses 16:15, 29 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Harald Krichel
I request usurpation of the following accounts, which have been created by a stalker and none of them has an edit: Wikisource:de:user:Harald Krichel, Wikiversity:de:user:Harald Krichel, es:user:Harald Krichel, id:user:Harald Krichel, sk:user:Harald Krichel and Species:user:Harald Krichel. Thanks, Harald Krichel 18:49, 27 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- Not possible, since you already merged your accounts. We will first have to delete your global account. (You will have local accounts on all merged wikis then.) Do you want that? Btw., you have to ask the bureaucrats on the respective wikis to get your accounts fixed there. Only those without local crats can be done by us. And afaik all of the mentioned wikis have bureaucrats. --Thogo (talk) 19:59, 27 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- If the user account was created by a stalker/vandalizer this can easily be checked by the IP in the server logs (don't know: is this legal ?). Can a global CU be addressed regarding this ? If it is like this, then there should be no problem with usurping.
- If not, I am not sure how this all is contradictory to the principle Wikipedia:Assume good faith (see also comment here).
- 0 edits can mean: that the user on de.WV didn't start a negative action against the user (or de.WV) since more than 230 days. You can also say: that user didn't contribute (positively) to de.WV - there are many other user accounts like this on de.WV and probably elsewhere. I am not sure is there a right/decision that a user must automatically get everywhere the same account ? ----Erkan Yilmaz (Wikiversity:Chat, wiki blog) 00:58, 28 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Sardur
Hi ! An account (http://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%B1:Sardur) which seems to have 0 edit, is interfering with SUL. The problem is that I can't understand a single word in that language. Help would be appreciated :-) Sardur 16:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

tedder
I created a global account, and I own the en.wikipedia version. However, user 'tedder' exists on four other sites: de nl no zh. sulutil.php shows even more.

Only one in de.wiki had been done and I even visited those page but today I can't either log in it (it is clear why) or make myself account Сура manually.

Magnus Manske on cs.wikipedia
Not sure if this belongs on this page, but the only account I am missing in my "SUL collection" is on cs.wikipedia. Wasn't created by me, and has no edits. It would be great if someone could nuke it, I wouldn't need it. I don't know any buerocrats on cs.wikipedia, which is why I spam you here.

I have an account (fi:user:Roosaa) at Finnish Wikipedia and I already asked for an usurpation of User:Roosa, but I was told that fiwiki doesn't have a policy regarding it.

Nad
Hello. Please, delete global account Nad, which I own at present (verify). Although I reserved it for me two days ago, I discovered a conflict between me and a colleague, mediawiki software develper, who owns this this account on EN WP, Meta and MediaWiki (and maybe other projects as well). I got in contact with him, but he also wished to have this account for his SUL. I considered to allow him use it, so I ask to have it deleted in order to make the necessary preemptive usurpations. I would like to have my SUL as Nadina. I suppose that I will have to make separate local requests, but I will be thankful if you save me this effort and after deleting my global account, also usurp this account on the several local accounts where is was registered. On my userpage User:Nadina you will find a list of the accounts that have to be usurped. As you can see, for the 11 projects, only 3 contributions were made, minor ones, and only 1 of the accounts is accessible via email. I hope that both my requests will be considered, thank you :) --Nadina 11:31, 29 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Ziko-en
Hello, my "global account" (?) is "Ziko", and I was told that my en.WP user name "Ziko-en" cannot be renamed to "Ziko" unless my "global account" is deleted. But does that mean that all my editing history will be deleted? In "Meta" I am "Ziko-W". Another problem I have with Commons, where I am "Ziko-C", and where I unfortunately asked to merge. So there was created "Ziko-C" on other projects against my intention. For any reasons, I was once not able to register in en.WP, Meta and Commons as "Ziko" (in en.WP it is not occupied yet). I am sorry for the mess I produced.--Ziko-W 14:19, 30 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- Hi, please know, that You have accounts that were "automatically created" when You logged in with Your SUL account "Ziko".
- If the global account is deleted those could get lost due to bugzilla:14330. I therefore suggest to wait until that bug is resolved.
- Btw.: unmerged accounts for "Ziko"

- Do you mean the account Tourbillon? Yes, SUL is activated for this account, but not by the user with most edits. In case that it's not clear, my colleague doesn't want the Tangra~ account, he wants to have the Tourbillon account for himself but someone snatched it from under his nose :-) And I think this is a well grounded desire, having in mind his 4500+ edits and participation over other projects. I made a little investigation here and discovered the email of the SUL owner. I wrote him a kind request, which can be read there, as well. I do hope that the person will be kind enough to free the account...
- In the meanwhile, I announced to my community that they may rely on me for help with SUL-problems. So, you may often see me poking my nose here :-) Spiritia 17:22, 31 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- The user with the most edits is Tourbillon@bgwiki, this user owns the global account:
Fully merged accounts:

- He has the "automatic account creation problem" for 3 wikis: pl.wiki, ru.wiki and Meta. (bug 14330, You know that one)
- So if he does not want to have to rename these three accounts might afterwards too, I would suggest to wait until the bug is solved, before deleting sul. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 18:13, 31 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Misc accounts to usurp
As a reminder, I am the guy with about 40 accounts created by a vandal (this vandal: Vandalism reports/BogaertB).
Further to this request, I know you do not make usurps on wikis with bureaucrats.
By the way, the usurpation was refused on the german WP because the vandal made 2 edits in december 2006! They put the request in some page for "possible future solution". I posted a follow up message on Help talk:Unified login, as I thought the suggestion Redux made was a good idea, and I think you should consider that.
But there is anyway something you can treat immediately: usurp on wikis without bureaucrats. So here is the list of accounts the vandal created. Could you please take care of the usurpation for all the wikis where there is no bureaucrat? I give you the whole list, including those accounts for wikis with bureaucrats.
Thanks. Bradipus 15:52, 31 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Note: except for the spanish account, all editions were made in 2006, most of them in a very short timespan on December 4, 2006, obviously to make sure the accounts would be considered as active.

You are not the only person with such problems now, we try to help as good as possible and do not badmouth about the workload, but if someone really wants to solve their sul problems, they have either to put work in there too (and not just lean back and upbraid around) or they have to wait until either for an automatic resolution or a community decision to make the process managable. Thanks. --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 23:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- The SUL was supposed to imply a policy of usurpation based mainly on the biggest number of editions. I understand that did not work. Then why the heck did you launch that thing? And if by "put work in it" you mean repeating on 40 wikis what I experienced on WP:de, i.e. being refused to usurp an account created by a stalker who made 2 editions in 2006, no thank you. I could stand the fact that my name was owned by a vandal on more accounts than what I control myself as long as I had the SUL in perspective, although it did have an impact on me. But the SUL did not bring the solution, and I have to go through this... Bradipus 05:52, 3 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Hello, I have my main account called Klymene on the French Wikipédia and I did the procedure to get an account on all wikiprojects (I also had an account on the Wikiversity with the name Klymene) but my account on the English Wiki was name FrKlymene because the name Klymene was not anymore available : User:Klymene has no user page, no talk page and absolutely no contributions (I even think it may be me that created the account once upon a time but I don't remember anymore, and I cannot guess the password).

Hello to everyone, I'm Mess from Wikipedia in Italian language. I've followed the SUL instructions to merge my accounts (and I've done it), but unfortunately my username is usurpated by some users with low or zero contributions in the following wikiprojects:
- ar.wikipedia.org
- de.wikipedia.org
- en.wikipedia.org
- en.wikibooks.org

- tr.wikipedia.org

Except for French, Japanese, Polish and Portuguese Wikipedias (in which the Mess users made some edits), I don't understand for what reason in some Wikipedias (like the English or the German) the Mess user doesn't exist but I can't create my own account in order to merge with the others!
Thus, could you resolve all these conflicts with an opportune procedure? Thanks, --Mess 07:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

You might by a link or whatever land on any other language wiki again and thereby creating an account on that project (because You will automatically get logged in and thus the account is created).
- Therefore I consider this request useless, like Sysiphos work it will happen again and again and again, please consider to delete Your sul and keep it deactivated if You do not wish these (imho benefit) of being logged in everywere instead of editing as IP, thanks,
- best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 21:48, 1 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- I don't need an opinion on my request. I need my global account to be deleted and all my automatically-created accounts to be deleted or renamed; I voluntarily created them, but now I realize I can't manage them because they're too many. --Iho 22:15, 1 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- Automatically-created accounts can not be deleted but may be renamed by local bureaucrats. Also, global accounts deletions are on hold pending bugzilla:14330. Nakon 22:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- This is not an opinion, this is reality, please read what SUL is all about before activating it. Another reality is, that You will have to ask on every wiki locally for a rename, because the local crats have to do the renames, You have several accounts that were created by login only, they could get lost (maybe with password recovery You could get them back) forever due to a bug, if You wish to have SUL deleted anyway You can say so. Please note, that not all local wikis do renames of accounts that You can't confirm as Yours or even if You can confirm them as Yours. best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 22:25, 1 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- @Nakon: it's impossible... they're 86 projects! Meta bureaucrats can't do the work?
- @birdy: you don't understand me. I don't mean I want to delete my SUL because I don't like it; I want my SUL to be deleted and all the automatically-created accounts to be renamed in order to re-create a SUL with the same nickname (Iho) without erroneously activate 86 accounts another time. I can't manage 86 accounts! I've erroneously opened them! --Iho 23:13, 1 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- I do understand what You said, but I have the feeling You did not understand why it is a senseless work: Every time You get on any project where You are not active yet an account will be created (it is already created but not shown yet, Your name is reserved everywhere), so if You rename all those accounts now, You will have to do this again and again, I would suggest You leave SUL deactivated. Also because of this bug, if we delete Your SUL now, it might happen, that You loose all the automatic created accounts and can't log in to them anymore, thus not being able to confirm they are Yours, thus people might not rename them, and as said, there are wikis who do not rename users at all (only contributors to their wikis), therefore You might cause Yourself troubles with a non complete SUL account, accounts blocking Your merge that are even Yours. Sorry, no, Meta crats only rename on Meta. Stewards only rename on wikis without (or with inactive crats). So You will have to ask each wiki locally.
- Please understand, I do not wish to annoy You here, and I got the reasoning, why You wish this. But as soon as You reactivate SUL You will have the same problem again, and problably You will cause Yourself an incomplete SUL account by this procedure. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 23:22, 1 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- It's not a senseless work. Each project automatically activates an account only if a SUL-user logs in on that specific project. I have erroneously logged in on 86 projects the vast majority of which I'll never contribute to. Now I ask you to delete my global account (when the bug will be fixed) and then rename all the automatically generated 86 accounts. I want to create a new Iho SUL automatically creating accounts just on a relatively small number of projects. --Iho 23:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- The only problem still is, You don't have to login to the project anymore, just click on it, login is now automatic... see now? --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 23:47, 1 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- Hmm, I believe you are not getting what SUL really is, once your account has been fully merged, you will automatically have accounts on 730 wikis but it doesn't mean that you have to edit all those 730 wikis, it just means when you click a link to any of those wikis logged in from your home-wiki, your account will automatically be created and if you would like to make any changes to that wiki, you can do it logged into that wiki without the need to sign-up to that wiki, this is a very useful tool, and it helps users to be able to use all the wikis on wikimedia with just one password and, deleting your account and renaming those 86 accounts is a bit silly because that will create more work for the stewards who are already really busy with this. My advice to you would be to wait for the Bug to be fixed because if we delete your Global account now, you might lose all your 86 accounts and probably your homewiki as well...--Comet styles 23:55, 1 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- I have understood just now the mechanism of SUL! =) Please close this request. I no longer want my SUL to be deleted. Thank you very much! --Iho 08:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

King of Hearts
The following discussion is closed.
Back in those days without unified login, I wanted to edit the Chinese Wikipedia, so I decided to create an account — only to find that User:King of Hearts was already taken by a vandal imposter. So I created my account on there, User:KoH. I would like to usurp the vandal account, moving its edits to KoH and mine to King of Hearts. -- King of Hearts 19:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- Hello, this You have to request on zh.wiki, because it has local crats to rename the accounts. Do You wish to have Your global account deleted now to make this renaming possible? (no automatic created accounts, so bug 14330 would not be a problem) Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 20:48, 1 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

- Hello, You have several accounts that were "created automatically" (by the first time You login to a wiki with sul). Due to bug 14330 these accounts might be a problem, I would suggest to wait until the bug is fixed, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 20:46, 1 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Cailil
The following discussion is closed.
Hi, I own the User:cailil global log in (I think). I've unified my accounts from en.wikipedia, simple.wikipedia, wikisources etc with this one. English Wikipedia is my home wiki and I have over 6,000 edits. I have automatically created accounst on a number of wikis at this point.
However the process seems to be incomplete - there is a User:cailil on de.wikipedia (another person) who has 4 edits since October 2007. Is it possible for me to "usurp" that account or do I need to request that it be renamed - if so are there any German Stewards who speak English - as I cannot speak German--Cailil 23:59, 1 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- Hello, Cailil, the problem is the user on de.wiki has edits, on de:Hilfe:Benutzernamen ändern/Benutzernamens-Übernahme it says, that the user should have 0 edits to usurp his account. You could try to contact the user, he has email turned on: de:Special:Emailuser/Cailil. Try it in English, if he replies he does not understand You, You can forward me the mail and I explain Your mail to him. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 11:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- Thanks Birdy, that's very helpful. I'll get to that immediately--Cailil talk 13:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- I missed how to send a copy to myself on German WP but in essence I've asked him (saying how embarrassed I am to request this) to change his screen-name very slightly by adding a numeral or a symbol. I have explained as best as I can about the WMF SUL and I have mentioned that I have nerly 6,700 edits with this screen-name on other wikimedia sites. I've also apologized for sending him a message written in English. I will forward you his email if he does not understand mine. Thanks again--Cailil talk 13:49, 2 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- Ok, I hope we can find a solution that is good for You both, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 14:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- He seems to be agreeable - I'm emailing you his details as you might be able to best advise him on the process and help him get the screen-name he will be most happy with. Thanks again--Cailil talk 19:23, 2 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Jack Merridew
Hi.
I just read this; from w:Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard#SUL; where we stand, by w:User:Rdsmith4. I had just previously done an SUL unification on 33 accounts with 2 loose ends, leaving me in partial territory; the ones that did not integrate, because they are not mine, are ml:User:Jack Merridew (blocked as a vandal) and bs:User:Jack Merridew (no edits). These are both Grawp; ask Lar and Herby. I also created a guest account; su:User:Jack Merridew post SUL.
I have done a bunch of usurpations on accounts that el grawpo created. I have looked around ml:wp; it's bewildering. I would like help. What I would like is for these last two accounts to be gone and be open to me as needed via SUL.
Cheers, User:Jack Merridew a.k.a. David 14:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Addendum; I should explicitly say that I believe bug 14330 applies; and that my goal is for this to list only my edits; i.e. ml.wp and bs.wp gone, and me able to re-create them as guest accounts. Cheers, User:Jack Merridew a.k.a. David 15:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- Hello, I am not sure what the request here actually is. I asked a crat in ml for a rename, as this is a clear case, please contact a crat in bs.wiki bs:Posebno:ListUsers/bureaucrat and ask what the modalities for renaming there are, most use bable templates, so You can find out who is capable of understand English.

SoylentGreen
I have a serious issue with the SUL. I'm SolyentGreen at commons.wikimedia and Soylentgreen at de.wikbooks.org. No I do really have a problem, because I should have moved my Soylentgreen at de.wikibooks.org before activation of the global name SoylentGreen. So - I need to let the global SoylenGreen be removed. Than I will get myself renamed to SoylentGreen at de.wikibooks.org.
But - at meta.wikimedia there is another SoylentGreen, so how can I prove that it's my SUL?
After I have myself renamed at de.wikibooks.org (where I have a few thousand edits), I will activate the SUL again.
- Hallo, ich denke das groeszere Problem ist vermutlich der Account auf de.wiki, da man dort nur einen Account uebernehmen kann, wenn dieser 0 Beitraege hat. Auf Meta sollte es kein Problem sein den fremden Account wegzuschieben, bitte hinterlasse auf Meta:Changing username eine Anfrage fuer die Uebernahme von User:SoylentGreen. LG. --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 20:12, 2 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- I can only be renamed at de.wikibooks.org if my SUL has been removed. Is it possible to do that?
- Bitte bestaetige, dass der globale Account "SoylentGreen" Dir gehört, indem Du auf Commons eingeloggt auf Deine Diskussionsseite z.B. schreibst "bitte meinen globalen Account löschen".
