WP:CHU/SUL

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

New requests should be made at WP:CHU or WP:USURP as appropriate.

This page was a temporary forum for the processing of username changes that related to the migration to single unified login (SUL) between June 2008 and April 2010. Prior to this, it served as a holding pen for requests that could not be completed due to bugs in the SUL renaming process.

Instructions

For the instructions that were in use at the time this page was closed to new requests, see Wikipedia:Changing username/SUL/Front matter/Instructions

Notes

When the rename has been completed, your account will have been renamed, and any contributions you have made (including deleted contributions) will be reattributed to your new account as a background process. Your account preferences, watchlist contents, password, etc. will all be preserved, and your user and user talk pages will have been moved to the new name.
Note: The process responsible for reallocating old contributions is currently dependent upon the job queue mechanism. As such, you may find old contributions do not immediately appear under your new account; this is perfectly normal. Updates should take at most a day to complete, although the length of time will vary according to the size of the job queue on this wiki, and the status of the server processes which process this queue.
The change will appear in the user rename log and the request will be moved to the archives in the interest of transparency. It is not possible to rename accounts without an entry being created in the log.
This change will not affect signatures you have already left on talk pages, or other places where you signed your username with ~~~~. Those pages will continue to display your signature (including the link to your old username) unless edited manually.
Be aware: Once you have been renamed, your old account will no longer exist and may potentially be recreated by a third party. This is true even if your old account pages have been redirected towards your new account. To guard against impersonation, you may wish to recreate the old account yourself.

A few users have agreed to provide assistance with the mechanics of this process. If you wish to assist as well, please read the linked page carefully.

Ghisteslwchlohm → Cneubauer

Current name: Ghisteslwchlohm (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: Cneubauer (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: cneubauer is my SUL account. I would like this old account merged into it. Ghisteslwchlohm (talk) 18:21, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. --Cneubauer (talk) 18:23, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merges cannot be done, per se. If you want Ghisteslwchlohm's contributions, we move Cneubauer to Cneubauer (usurped) and Ghisteslwchlohm into the now-vacant Cneubauer. Elsewise, we just let things be and you keep Cneubauer's contributions. It's up to you. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 00:02, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, perhaps you should change the text at the top of the page then. It says, "If you already have an account on this wiki and would simply like it renamed to match the name of your global account, see these instructions." which sounds like a merge to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.51.6.200 (talk) 11:49, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is very true and you are correct; however, I think we're on different pages. See, you own both Ghisteslwchlohm and Cneubauer on the English Wikipedia. If you want Ghisteslwchlohm to be renamed to Cneubauer, I have to first rename Cneubauer to Cneubauer (usurped) in order to vacate the name for Ghisteslwchlohm. So, it's up to you: would you like me to move your contributions as Cneubauer to Cneubauer (usurped) so that Ghisteslwchlohm can be moved into Cneubauer, or would you like me to leave things as they are now? Essentially, you're being asked if you want Ghisteslwchlohm's or Cneubauer's contributions for your global account; or, rather, that's what you have to ask yourself. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 11:59, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I want both to be merged into Cneubauer. If this isn't possible than please do nothing. Thanks. --Cneubauer (talk) 13:40, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - no reply. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 00:14, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Softly.lt → Softlylt

Current name: Softly.lt (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: Softlylt (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: Global change because of violation of policy. Softly.lt (talk) 18:21, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Requesting user has 1 edit, to this page only. SoxBot VI (talk) 18:24, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Bureaucrat note: This is related to SUL, so it belongs at WP:CHU/SUL. However, even there, I'm not sure you have the best claim to the global account "SoftlyIt", since there are users on other wikis with more edits than you. If these are yours, you'll have to confirm it in some way. Otherwise, you may have to consider a different SUL. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 03:23, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Moved here from CHU. MBisanz ^talk 20:53, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: Thanks, MBisanz. My cratnote above still stands though; and, just for the requester's sake, I refer to the it.wikibooks account when I say others have better claim than you. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 21:14, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Human bot → Human soul

Current name: Human bot (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: Human soul (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: Reason for requested renaming.

The user name contains "bot" in it. Human bot (talk) 17:04, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As you have very few edits, perhaps consider just creating the new account, and abandoning this one. –xeno (talk) 17:08, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: Are you the ru.wiki user? bibliomaniac 1 5 17:10, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alexmetcalfe → K_t1pps_96

Current name: Alexmetcalfe (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: K_t1pps_96 (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: do not wish username to be my own name! Alexmetcalfe (talk) 18:03, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: Because of technical limitations, underscores will show up as spaces. Do you want to continue? bibliomaniac 1 5 18:16, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Barras (de) → Barras

Current username: Barras (de) (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Target username: Barras (talk · contribs · global contribs · logs · block log)
Datestamp: 08:50, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
For bureaucrat use: Email target username (1) (2)

Hello all. I want to take over the account of Barras, because I'm the owner of the SUL account Barras with the home wiki deWP. Thanks for your time. Barras (de) (talk) 08:37, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: - converted template as appropriate. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 08:50, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Sorry, but the user in question is currently active and has opposed to the usurpation. bibliomaniac 1 5 22:49, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
