Note for the record, user identity confirmed via [1] and Special:CentralAuth.
Hallo Thorsten, ich habe Deine Accounts geswitcht, Thorsten ist jetzt Ogmios und Ogmios ist Thorsten, das heißt Thorsten ist der mit den wenigen Bearbeitungen. Du musst beide noch in wikt:ga:special:mergeaccount zu Deinem globalen Konto hinzufuegen. Fuer en.wiki, en.wikt, und Commons musst Du dort fragen, da diese lokale Buerokraten haben, Links zu den Antragsseiten findest Du als Interwikilinks hier, lG. --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 12:13, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
P.S. Ich empfehle vom alten Account eine Weiterleitung zu machen, damit die alten Unterschriften nicht zerstört werden, lG. --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 12:21, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

3345345335534 @ arc.wikipedia

Latest comment: 15 years ago 2 comments2 people in discussion

I request that arc:User:3345345335534 on the Aramaic Wikipedia be changed to arc:User:334a:

I'm actually requesting to "usurp" 334a, which actually has a few edits. However, I own both accounts. Therefore, the local request link is at 334a's talk page, in which the old and new accounts have commented to show that both accounts want the usurpation. I don't know if it's relevant or needs to me mentioned, but I also might want to add that 3345345335534 is an administrator on that wiki, so I would like my admin rights transferred along with my name (again, probably not worth mentioning but I just wanted to make sure). Thank you! —334a 04:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Done, I have switched the accounts, arc:User:3345345335534 is now arc:User:334a and vice versa. You might want to make a redirect from the old user-talk [3] to the new user-talk to not break old signatures [4]. To merge the accounts to Your sul, please go to arc:special:mergeaccount.

I request that wikt:pt:User:Nino0 on the Portuguese Wiktionary be changed to wikt:pt:User:Nino:

Thank you in advance! Nino 11:40, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello, all those wikis have local crats, please ask for renames there (interwikilinks to the requestpages can be found on SR/SUL, or type special:listusers/bureaucrat into the searchfield on the local wiki), thanks, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 17:45, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
As you can see I already asked for username usurpation (in june and july) but the local bureaucrats did not answer. The interwiki list on SR/SUL is useless because it only says where the usurpation requests for wikipedias are (not wiktionary or wikinews). Greetings --Nino 22:35, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
I understand how annoying that must be, but not less as for us, because we are basically not allowed to rename on projects with local crats, I have now posted a quite straight message to all three crats, I hope they understand that that is just what they have been elected for and what there job is now, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 00:48, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thank you very much. --Nino 10:10, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

JoeMa @ es.wikipedia

Latest comment: 15 years ago 3 comments2 people in discussion
The following discussion is closed.

I request that w:es:User:JoeMa on the Spanish Wikipedia be changed to w:es:User:JøMa:

The reason for requested renaming: I am both es:JoeMa and JøMa; I had created one account in the Spanish wiki, and I have this one here, which is a SUL now. I would like to "merge" them so the Spanish JoeMa's history can appear in JøMa's context.

Unfortunately, I did not find any page on the Spanish wiki to request this change; on the English wiki, I found the request site to ask there (see here).

Thank you! JøMa 23:19, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Not done. Hello, es.wiki has local crats, please ask for renames there (interwikilinks to the requestpages can be found on SR/SUL, or type special:listusers/bureaucrat into the searchfield on the local wiki), thanks, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 01:08, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Okay thank you anyway. Will try here. -- JøMa 09:27, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

no.wikipedia

Latest comment: 15 years ago 8 comments4 people in discussion
The following discussion is closed.

I request at no.wiki the username Bruker:Beria for SUL. The account is mine in 74 projetcs (include pt.wiki - my local and sysop account). After 3 months of wait, the local bureaucrats said that the local account can't be usurped because the user is active (the account have 5 edits at all), and although of rules of no.wiki said that if the actual owner of username don't responding in 1 month the account is userped... the answer for me (after 3 months) it's not. I disagree of that and I ask the opinion of the stewards. (All the history can be find in local page of request changes of usernames in no.wiki - Wikipedia:Overtagelse_av_brukernavn/Ønskede_endringer#Beria)

Thank you Béria Lima 23:56, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Sign whit my second account (local account of no.wiki): Beria Lima 23:58, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Hello, the possibility to unify the accounts does not mean that one is allowed to take over already existing names on wikis where the same username already exists, this is regulated on each local wiki and if the local wiki says no, there is nothing we can do about it. I recommend to contact the user per email and explain him the situation kindly also that he would have an advantage of a rename (because then he can use sul too), or, at least I would do that if I were affected, ask for a rename Yourself, check with vvv's sul-tool if an username is still free, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 00:54, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Birdy... I contact the user by e-mail 2 months ago... and I have no answer... the problem is not the not of the bureucrats... is because they do that wihtout no one rule of no.wiki to support then. (the local rule is clear: If the user don't answer the acconut is usurped). Best regards, Béria Lima 01:18, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Sorry but the user just edited some days ago [9], and if he does not respond to Your emails he either don't understand them (try to ask a local crat if he can explain it to him in Norwegian, or he does not want to. However, as said, there will be no action from us, the local crats have to decide that, I can just gave You a recommendation (either asking the user (in his own language) or get a rename Yourself (or even don't care about that not merged account on no.wiki, if You don't plan to edit there)), best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 01:52, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
P.S. (to make it more clear): Users are allowed to unify their accounts, that does not mean, they have the right to take over an account that they don't own. They can only ask the user politely, or if he has no edits the crats if they agree for a rename, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 01:59, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
The name change has been discussed, and it ended not in favor of the user in question. The present owner of the name does not have a lot of edits, but he has although edits. Jeblad 07:00, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi Jeblad, maybe You can try and send the user an email and explaining him in Norwegian, what sul is, how he could profit from a rename and that he would help a fellow wikimedian from another project. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 12:35, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

I request that w:zh-classical:User:Sohome on the Chinese-Classical Wikipedia and User:Sohome on the Metawiki be changed to User:SoHome:

Thank you! Sohome 19:48, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

My unified account is just done. SoHome 08:57, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Since Classical Chinese Wikipedia do not have a bureaucrat yet, we cannot change the username for SoHome. As the sysop of this Wikipedia, I support his username changes requests, please help him if you can. Thanks!--Itsmine 11:52, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

No need to support. :) There is no problem in renaming accounts, if the user wishes. So this is Done. --Thogo (talk) 12:03, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
