What illusions have we made? We simply said that the identity of the person making the request could not be guaranteed, that's all, we work according to the policies, for the protection of users and the project and we cannot do favors or exceptions for anyone. We told you to contact T&S to recover the account and you didn't want! If we cannot confirm who is making the requests, we cannot process them, it would have been easier to follow the suggestions rather of making useless arguments. Having said that, I will be looking at the various requests for vanish shortly, thanks for your contributions. --Superpes15 (talk) 16:34, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

@Plumbum208, Ternarius, and Yger: First of all, since the user is currently blocked (with also a log of blocks) on svwiki, I'll ping the blocking admin to know if there are some oppositions to the vanish, or if this could be a problem for them. I also want to remind that the vanish is a "courtesy vanish", and not a mandatory procedure or a right. --Superpes15 (talk) 16:41, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

@Plumbum208, Ternarius, and Yger: Hello, I'm sorry to ping you again, but we are waiting for your reply to proceed. Please let us know if you have some concerns about this request for vanish. Thanks :) Superpes15 (talk) 22:52, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

I am not familiar with this type of request, so do not know how to look at this request Yger (talk) 02:12, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

@Superpes15 The application has been pending for over a month. Can you treat? Thank you! Neriah - 💬 - 06:30, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

I'm so sorry, Superpes15 for this late answer, I must have missed your pings entiredly. We have had a lot of problems with Abecesel in the past, complicated by the fact that the user compleatly refuses to discuss their behaviour. Instead Abecesel has written and mailed complaints to many of Swedish Wikipedia's admins, including me, both on Swedish Wikipedia and here on Meta. It has stopped now, but I have a concern that Abecesel will start again, if they are given a new, not immediately recognizable name. So no, I'm not overly happy about Abcesels request. / Ternarius (talk) 00:39, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

I contributed ~33 thousand to the project. Only ~100 of them are on the Swedish Wikipedia and most of these contributions were in answer to discussions about me. The first blocking was because I was using the move tool to create redirects from long names to articles. I used a translation tool because the messages from the discussions on this topic are in Swedish. You could see that I made the same redirect-move contributions to other language Wikipedias. Your second and final block was because I didn't want to archive my message page. At that time, I was contributing to undo vandalism globally using a rollback tool. I wanted to edit my message page on every other language Wikipedia. I explained to you that what I want to do is not to archive, I just want to make a navigation bar, and I gave examples from other Wikipedias. For example, when I want to archive there should be such a link: sv:användardiskussion:Abecesel/diskussionarkiv/2022/a. You can see the example on the Turkish Wikipedia: tr:Kullanıcı_mesaj:Abecesel/mesajarşivi → tr:Kullanıcı_mesaj:Abecesel/mesajarşivi/2022/a. The administrator User:EstrellaSuecia understood what I was saying and we kindly closed the issue. However, another user continued editing my message page. User:Ternarius has been wanting me blocked since the first block. Therefore, despite all my explanations, he accepted a complaint created by the user who edited my message page and he blocked me. I understand and respect the rules of the Swedish Wikipedia. However, these blocks were unnecessary. It should be noted that these blocks were given at a time when Turkey did not want Sweden in NATO. The concern mentioned above is unreasonable because I could always edit Swedish Wikipedia with a different user or IP address, I would never do such a thing. I created this title because I don't want to use my name rights on Wikipedia. --User:Abecesel 11:38, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

 On hold until 30 November 2023 —MdsShakil (talk) 14:37, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

@Ardito di comunità You already renamed to Ardito di comunità. Are you still want this rename? —MdsShakil (talk) 03:31, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Yes, if it possible. Ardito di comunità (talk) 10:53, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Not done Global User Account Merges are not possible as the UserMerge extension is incompatible with CentralAuth. As such, we will not accept any request to merge user accounts as it is technically impossible at this moment to do so. —MdsShakil (talk) 17:10, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

 On hold until (削除) 22 (削除ここまで) (追記) 30 (追記ここまで) December 2023. -- Tamzin ^{[cetacean needed ]} (she|they|xe) 00:04, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

@Tamzin "Target account must be notified by renamer at least one month before usurpation." You notified them on 30 November so this request should be on hold until 30 December not 22. —MdsShakil (talk) 16:20, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I literally had that thought and then somehow still typed the wrong digits. Thanks for catching this. -- Tamzin ^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|she) 22:36, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Oops, I forgot; Edward-Woodrow-Test and Edward-Woodrow (JWB) will also have to be renamed (to Cremastra-Test and Cremastra (JWB), I guess). Edward-Woodrow (talk) 23:39, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Done

• Edward-Woodrow → Cremastra
• Edward-Woodrow-Test → Cremastra-Test (confirmation)
• Edward-Woodrow (JWB) → Cremastra (JWB) (confirmation)

The username isn't the only problem; it appears you've been blocked on plwiki for vandalism. Pinging blocking admin, @WTM. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 14:42, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

I do confirm that the account Kancelaria Prezesa Rady Ministrów @pl.wikipedia has been created solely for vandalism. --WTM (talk) 09:05, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Not done per above. Please resolve the block issues first. Rename policy requires "not seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct." —MdsShakil (talk) 16:32, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Not done The new username also unacceptable 21:33, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

@Mạnh An The selected username is either too similar to existing usernames or was previously used by someone else who has since been renamed: X 0, X O, X o, X-O, and X0. Kindly select a different username. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 21:16, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
