Comment Comment There are lots of other bureaucrats at slwiki, you should ask one of them to rename you QuiteUnusual (talk) 12:09, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
Firstly I need to usurp wrongly created user name XJaM in wikidata in these four wikis:
and then rename old user name XJamRastafire with new one XJaM. As I've said, desired new user name in those four wikis already exists. --XJamRastafire (talk) 07:43, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
With the exception of Wikidata, all those projects have active bureaucrats who are responsible for completing the usurp request. Stewards are not permitted to act on Wikis that have active users with the correct permissions to satisfy your request QuiteUnusual (talk) 08:19, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

do you mean "rename me on all projects" or "rename me on Meta"? If the latter, then Meta requests are raised at Meta:Changing username please QuiteUnusual (talk) 11:14, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Done on all wikis without active bureaucrats where you have edits (brwiki, scowiki, piwiki, diqwiki, hiwiki and hywiki). The other projects you list (cawiki, enwiki, eswiki, kmwiki, nlwiki, ruwiki and sawiki) need to be requested locally. QuiteUnusual (talk) 21:50, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
thank you. I forgot wikimedia,

Status: Done
Done: siwiki, uzwiki, ugwiki, tawiki, fawikisource, kgwiki, kywiki, htwiki, ocwiki, wikimania2011wiki, tgwiki, lawiki. I've only renamed accounts with at least one edit, and where the bureaucrats are either inactive for more than three months or non-existant. For the rest, please see index of pages where renaming can be requested. All best, PeterSymonds (talk) 21:56, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
OK, thank you. -- Daniel Mietchen 22:03, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

I won't go for renaming then but keep tabs here on whether my old and new accounts have been linked on the projects.

Mietchen renames
Cannot be done as both usernames exist to prevent merger. Please ask locally if usurping is feasible.--Jusjih (talk) 15:44, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm marking this as done so this finally gets archived. --MF-W 01:45, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Status: Not done
Not done - There are no global renames yet. Please specify on which projects you want to be renamed. The stewards will decline any request for username changes on wikis that have active local bureaucrats. --MF-W 01:47, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Question Question: Just for clarification, the name "Georgia" has already registered in 31 wikis (even though no SUL account under that name yet), and the name is blocked in en.wikipedia and en.wikisource, so requesting a SUL account under that name in the future might be a bit of a problem. Do you still want to proceed? ✒ Bennylin 07:40, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
So, in the future to avoid problems, can you rename it to Geo? Thank you. Դաթո Աբուլաձե (talk) 12:49, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
Geo has been used in 48 projects; same, no SUL account yet, and only blocked in ca.wikipedia. Try some other names in https://toolserver.org/~quentinv57/tools/sulinfo.php Either come up with some unique names, or a name that is not used in more than a dozen projects, as long as it says "There is no SUL account matching the name <your desired username>"
For information, all the other names listed in those project could be usurped, but that usually takes time ✒ Bennylin 13:11, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
I want to proceed but only for hy.wiki project, can you do that? Դաթո Աբուլաձե (talk) 13:45, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
That doesn't make sense to split an account. It is really better for you to pick a user name that is unused, and then progress from there. Anything else is really just problematic. — billinghurst sDrewth 15:02, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
Can I have this username: GeoO? --Դաթո Աբուլաձե (talk) 14:41, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Done - The user Դաթո Աբուլաձե on hywiki has been renamed to GeoO some time ago by MBisanz. Rename requests of the rest of the SUL account (40 edits remaining) will need to be made to the relevant bureaucrats / stewards, if the user so desires. --MF-W 02:02, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Done on ar.wiki.--Avocato (talk) 05:38, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
thanks dear! Please do it for the rest too. Many days already passed I made the request. I checked before requesting that there is no SUL for the new username I requested. So why is the delay? Please take it to the end as soon as possible. And if further possible please do it in the priority order: pa.wikis (wiki, wikit, wikibooks etc.), en.wikis, pnb.wikis, hi.wikis and other indic languages. Thanks a lot. --tari buttar [talk] 14:49, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
If there's a delay it means there's nobody available to do it. Anyway itar buttar seems to be anything than anonymous, are you sure of the target username? Dealing with major wikis you have to ask rename locally, we are not supposed to manage renames on en.wiki, en.wiktionary, en.wikiquote, commons, fa.wiki and fr.wiki. --Vituzzu (talk) 15:00, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
The instructions are fairly specific. At this point in time you need to approach each of the wikis that have bureaucrats where you have an account and request the name change. Stewards will do those remaining after the bureaucrats at each wiki have done their bit. You can also help by producing a list of the wikis with accounts and setting these out as have been done above. Stewards have to do these individually per wiki, no shortcuts, so both your assistance and patience would be appreciated. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:57, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
Hello thanks for all the efforts you're making. My device is defeated having problems so writing all in one:
  1. I'm not seeing/noticing any change on the wiki it's said to be done. I'm still logged on there with the old username.
  2. I've checked there is no bureaucrats on the wiki so plz do it, if possible, in this priority order: pa.wikis, pnb.wikis, hi.wikis, ks.wikis, bh.wikis, bxr.wikis.

There are some wikis I've problem checking either as I don't understand the language or as of my device's fault. So please have a look at these too in the same priority order: ur.wikis, ta.wikis, te.wikis, ml.wikis, fa.wikis, nl.wikis, it.wikis, ru.wikis, fi.wikis, zh.wikis, mr.wikis.

And please answer my question, why I'm not seeing any change on which it's done? Thanks a lot for all you're doing. --tari buttar [talk] 16:17, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I've provided a list of the wikis. Please do it atleast on the projects I mentioned have no bureaucrats. And please help how to get my SUL back as when I checked for the newer one it says that there is no SUL for this. Specially please rename me here and the projects I mentioned have no bureaucrats. Thanks for your efforts, thanks a lot. --tari buttar [talk] 14:25, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
I did all pa projects and it.wiki, now you must login on pa.wiki and open w:pa:Special:Mergeaccount, then there are really a few accounts left, on the wikis were you created just an userpage you don't need to be renamed but you can simply ask for the deletion of the old userpage and then start using only the new name. --Vituzzu (talk) 14:26, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Cont.

(plz don't remove this section)

Hello Vituzz and thanks a lot. I got you and unified my login. Plz tell me where I've no edit, do I no need to request the rename there as it be created automatically when I visit them (when logged in with the new username)? Do it 'll be or not? I, myself, found it to be not (I may be wrong). If not plz atleast rename me on the wikis I listed. I may be less active here to respond as I'm facing a browser problem but your efforts are always appreciated. Thanks a lot. --Itar buttar (talk) 14:52, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

I have compiled a ready list with renames that can be undertaken, however, I don't think that any steward should be responsible for checking through the list of what we can or cannot rename. Itar buttar, I invite you to sort the list, and this will enable you to seek the local respective bureaucrats to rename, either doing it locally or undertaken via this script. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:48, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
