Requests for renaming your own account

Tomayres@multiple

Status:    Done

• Wiki: xx.project.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
• Old Username: Tomayres (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
• New Username: Mato (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
• Confirmation difflink: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mato/SUL
• Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
• Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
• Reason: I am seeking renames on the listed non-english language wikis where I therefore can't request locally. Please see confirmation link. Thanks. Mato 20:28, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

You do mean renaming from Tomayres to Mato, right? (Both oldname and newname were Tomayres.) Most of those projects have local crats who can usurp the accounts (you can ask them in English) - but that usually involves emailing the accounts you want to usurp beforehand, especially since some of them have edits. -- Mentifisto 20:43, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Ah yes that's correct, sorry. In the process of messaging the local crats. Would it be possible to leave this application open so I can update it with the projects where I can find no active bureaucrats? Mato 15:23, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

So to confirm, all I need now is a usurp (I have no current username on these wikis, I just need the target name for the SUL) on sk.wiktionary and zh.wikiquote due to no local crats. Thanks. Mato 19:25, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

sk.wiktionary Done. For zh.wikiquote, please ask one of the local crats. Thanks, Jafeluv 09:34, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

As a bureaucrat on Chinese Wikiquote, I just moved existing Mato to Mato (usurped). Tomayres, please try if you can take over the username Mato there.--Jusjih 10:58, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you very much to you both. Looks like I'm all sorted here and will return if I have any issues at the local wikis. Mato 12:05, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

As instructed above, please provide a list of specific projects where you want to be renamed. Jafeluv 10:34, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I want to be renamed in all wikis, i shall request locally where bureaucrats are active but now i request you to rename in following projects-

1. meta.wikis 2. ne.wikis 3 wikimania2010 4 sa.wikis 5. hi.wikis 6. simple.wikis and 7. Commons. Regards- 14:36, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

As you wrote above, for projects with active ´crats you need to request it localy and at least commons and simple have active ´crats. Use Special:ListUsers to find active bureaucrats. I will rename you for meta. --WizardOfOz ^talk 05:45, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Done For meta. --WizardOfOz ^talk 05:50, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

But sir ne.wiki,ne.wiktionary, ne.wikibooks,sa.wiki,sa.wiktionary, sa.wikibooks don't have bureaucrat, please rename there also. Regards-Bhawani 11:39, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Please make a list of projects where you need renaming as instructed above. Note that you have edits on only two projects, Meta and enwp, both of the having local bureaucrats. The place to request a rename in enwiki is this and for Meta-Wiki, it would be this. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 08:40, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

If I'm mistaken on any of these having no active/local crats, I sincerely apologize. On some I currently have an "Anndelion" account but on others I do not. Each account I wish to usurp has 0 edits and was registered more than six months ago.

Also, somewhat tangentially, I accidentally merged two accounts with zero contribs that hadn't been active in a long time (join dates "unknown") -- de.wiktionary and ro.wiki. Perhaps these should be marked as "merged by stewards" to get an accurate join date. I really had no nefarious motives, even though it looks that way. I apologize! :(. Anndelion 10:13, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Done. I've marked the wikis which have local bureaucrats above. You'll need to ask for usurpation locally in those projects. This index may be helpful in locating local request pages. Jafeluv 11:42, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

• Reason: (My old name is my real name.) Öncel Acar 20:57, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

As instructed above, please provide a list of specific projects where you want to be renamed. Also, please note that you only have edits on the English and Turkish Wikipedias, both of which have local bureaucrats. The place to ask for renaming on en.wikipedia is here, and on tr.wikipedia it's here. Jafeluv 21:21, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Not done as I see no confirmation.--Jusjih 18:44, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

The English Wikipedia has local bureaucrats, so you'll have to make a local request here. Jafeluv 07:24, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

• Reason: (To renew my profile name, personal preference) Shirou15 06:33, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

local 'crat exists, and he just asked you to read policy on meta, not to request a steward. Local 'crat should do the rename. best Matanya 06:37, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Matanya, I redirected Shirou15 here to request for renames for all his other accounts. The account is a SUL'ed account and I don't want multiple usernames popping up because of it because two different names exist between all projects. I can rename him on the Tagalog Wikipedia, but I can only leave it to you guys to rename him everywhere else. --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 11:18, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Farewell@multiple

• Reason: The username Farewell is existed on some other projects, so I can't have a unified username. I changed my home wiki username to Hội Phượng Hoàng, so please rename the user Farewell at these projects:
  • q:vi:Farewell – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
  • s:vi:Farewell – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
  • b:vi:Farewell – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
