Merging of accounts
Thanks to Special:MergeAccount (< Wikimania 2008 in the Netherlands in October) my actual name is now everywhere in every mediawiki-project RobSchop. Question to a moderator or administrator: please merge in all English wikipedia my Dartelaar (=old name)-text, pages & settings like signature with this new name RobSchop. Thanks beforehand. Tell me what I should do manually (I checked already some boxes in RobSchop preferences).--RobSchop (talk) 01:33, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Merge? I don't think we can do that. Andre (talk) 06:06, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, would you like me to usurp the name RobSchop with Dartelaar? You're on the wrong page (WP:CHU/U and you also need to log in with the old account. Andre (talk) 06:12, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

- SoxBot has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot VI (talk) 10:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

- Current name: Sebenezer (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user

Ronald Reuel → Mro
- Current name: Ronald Reuel (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: SUL : I have connected Mro@fwiki and Mro@commons with SUL. Mro@enwiki is not mine, but does not appear to have any contribution. This request is to rename the current Mro@enwiki as something else, and then rename my account Ronald Reuel as Mro afterwards. (I have edited Mro@frwiki to reflect that I indeed use this account on en:) - Thanks. Ronald Reuel (talk) 06:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. SoxBot VI (talk) 06:24, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Clerk note: The requested username is already registered; see Special:CentralAuth. However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you are an established user and wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at m:Steward requests/Username changes. If you do not wish to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to. --jonny-mt 06:56, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

- SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. SoxBot VI (talk) 14:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Not done Since you don't have any edits (aside from requesting the name change, which can't be done because someone already has the name), you should just register a new account. EVula // talk // ☯ // 14:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Clerk note: Yes, the account already exists, but it hasn't logged any edits, so it can be taken at WP:USURP. Useight (talk) 14:52, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Not by this user - he's too new. Usurpations are generally reserved for established users. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 07:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

- SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. SoxBot VI (talk) 18:33, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Please log in. Andre (talk) 18:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- This same request was made earlier this year.[1] I can't take the time to further dig at this right now, but wanted to at least point that out. EVula // talk // ☯ // 18:44, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Not done I found a note[2] from the last request, making it clear this is a self-promotional type account (in addition to the actual rationale provided here). See User:Sirgiant, which was deleted under G11. The previous request can be found at Wikipedia:Changing username/Unfulfilled/2008/January#Sirgiant → Sir Giant.

Landus Mikain → Rianthas
- Current name: Landus Mikain (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: Rianthas (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
- For global renamer: rename user
- Reason: When I originally created this account, I used the alias "Landus" because of it's obscurity and the small chance of the name being already in use. Over the last year, the name "Landus" is being used a little bit more commonly across the internet. To keep what I do over the internet somewhat organized and tagged, I'm now using the name "Rianthas". If possible, I ask that I keep my current non-admin rollback tools if this request is approved.

- Reason: Current username blocked as name of existing organisation, change needed to avoid further blocking. 86.136.147.151 (talk) 08:31, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. SoxBot VI (talk) 08:33, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Clerk note: All requests must be made while logged in to the account that will be renamed; this request was made by 86.136.147.151 (talk · contribs).

- Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req

- SoxBot has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot VI (talk) 17:09, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Done. WjBscribe 17:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- And, as an aside: "jan_dm" and "Jan dm" are the same from a technical standpoint, as MediaWiki software reads underscores as spaces and capitalizes the first letter of a username. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 18:25, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

- It is not possible to rename accounts to a name reserved for a global account. To do this you need to have the global account deleted, then I can rename you, then you can recreate the account. WjBscribe 19:13, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
