ShiriEdits

Status: Done

Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
Old Username: ShiriEdits (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
New Username: Spodle (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
Reason: I want my username to be easier to pronounce and I want to remove the 'Edits' in my username. I attempted to change my username to 'Shiri', but the account had valid edits so it wouldn't be possible to transfer to that username. And I prefer the username to my current username. Thank you in advance.

On hold @ஆனந்த் ராம்: As advised on English wiki, you need a different name as Wiki_mama is too similar to others. It looks like you have chosen Wikichiyaan, do you want me to proceed with that? ‐‐1997kB (talk) 02:37, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Given that they was renamed to Wikimama1209, this request should be declined as not done. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 08:34, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

New Username: 28Q (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req

Reason: (Sorry for Chinese, my English is bad.)Q228 是我的备用账户,但是他与我的主账户Q28的用户名关联并不是很大。我想把它改成28Q的原因是后者更容易与我的主账户相关联,我使用这个表单的原因是,系统认为28Q与一个被锁定的用户"! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 28Q"的ID接近,而这个被锁定的用户没有编辑。所以我希望把Q228的用户名改成28Q。

Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications

Latest comment: 2 years ago 55 comments21 people in discussion

SrCerberus

Status: Not done

Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
Old Username: SrCerberus (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
New Username: Centauro (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
Reason: I think my current username is a bit difficult to read and understand, plus I don't feel comfortable with it anymore. I would like to change it to one that is easier to understand and spell, plus it is this new name that I use on IRC. On the other hand, the user with that name only made 9 edits in 2008 and has been inactive since then. Thanks in advance.

--zu Ihren Diensten♈︎ Háblame! 11:12, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Not done I'm sorry, but Centauro has valid edits (2 page creations in ns0), so it isn't eligible for usurpation. In case you want to be renamed, please choose another username, thanks for understanding. --Superpes15 (talk) 23:13, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Speatle

Status: Not done

Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
Old Username: Speatle (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • GlobalRenameUser)
New Username: 1979 (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
Reason: I don’t really like the name Speatle anymore, and 1979 looks and sounds better. The user who originally took this name only made a few edits on the German wiki in early 2006, and has been inactive ever since then.

--Speatle (talk) 13:37, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Not done I'm sorry, but 1979 has valid edits (28 edits - including 1 page creations in ns0), so it isn't eligible for usurpation. In case you want to be renamed, please choose another username, thanks for understanding. --Superpes15 (talk) 23:13, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Reason: I want to remove the redundant "SD" in my username, and the new name has 0 edit and only in zhwiktionary. Another request, I am afraid I won't have time to deal with the necessary things after changing my username per preparing for the College Entrance Exam on June 7 and 8. So can you put my request on hold to June 9?Thank you!

Dai

Status: Not done

Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)

New Username: Dai (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
Reason: Hello. I request the merger of Dai~elwiki into User:Dai as part of finalizing my single unified login (SUL) username. I haven't been active on wikipedia for over ten years. I would like to become active again and use my old accounts as one united account, if it is possible. In the past I was mainly active in el-wikipedia (Dai~elwiki), where I was an admin for some time in the 2000s. Unfortunately, after all these years, I can't remember the login details of the Dai~elwiki-account, but I was able to log into the Dai-account (my former de-wiki account). Both accounts belong to me. For this reason, the user pages look similar. By the way, I'm not sure if I filled out this template correctly so please bear with me in this case.😉 Thanks in advance.

--Dai (talk) 18:33, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Evidence that he is the same user is the image that exists in both de:User:Dai's userpage and el:User:Dai~elwiki's userpage. AlPaD (talk) 18:56, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Besides: I don't think anyone but me would call Oberhausen the "City of Magic"☝😁 (see picture description on both user pages). Dai (talk) 11:44, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

@Dai If you don't remember login details of Dai~elwiki then unfortunately it will not be possible to complete this process as you will require password of that account in order to merge. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 04:32, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

OK, thanks. Then I guess I'll have to keep trying to login. Dai (talk) 09:41, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

@Dai: If you are unable to connect to Dai~elwiki, you can use Dai. AlPaD (talk) 17:22, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

You mean, to merge the two accounts? Dai (talk) 16:03, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

@Dai: No, you can just use Dai instead of Dai~elwiki and move the userpage Dai~elwiki to Dai. AlPaD (talk) 18:35, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
