Wikipedia:Changing username/SUL

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This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.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.

Current requests

Heatherannrose → Heathervescence

Current name: Heatherannrose (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: Heathervescence (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: The above desired username is what I used on all my accounts elsewhere, I want others to be able to find me properly. Thanks! Heatherannrose (talk) 21:34, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Neither of those accounts have to do with SUL. I'm guessing that your accounts elsewhere are not Wikimedia-affiliated, is that right? King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:26, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not done, no reply. Please lodge rename requests at WP:CHU; this page is for requests expressly related to SUL. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 22:43, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Robertbgilmore → Studio1

Current name: Robertbgilmore (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: Studio1 (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: change from real name Robertbgilmore (talk) 19:27, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Does this have to do with single-user login? King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 22:49, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: This looks like a usurp request, not an SUL request. Since the target account was created in January 2006 and has not edited, I think it would be safe to process as a usurp. MBisanz ^talk 00:24, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don Quixtote → Plumber

Current name: Don Quixtote (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: Plumber (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: I am called Plumber on other wikis, originally I attempted to have that name here, but it was taken by a user who only made two edits. I instead registered as User:Plumb3r, but later forgot the password, then edited as an IP for a long time until making this account. Don Quixtote (talk) 23:48, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Could you unify your account on another wiki, so we can confirm your SUL status? Log into Plumber on the Korean Wikipedia, and then follow this link: ko:Special:MergeAccount. It will have instructions on how to unify your accounts. (I'm suggesting kowiki because you have more edits than any other wiki on which you're known as Plumber. It is not necessary to have the usurpation on the English Wikipedia performed before you unify your accounts.) King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:10, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Simon → LivingShadow

Current username: Simon (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Target username: LivingShadow (talk · contribs · global contribs · logs · block log)
Datestamp: 06:51, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
For bureaucrat use: SUL report (old • new) | Email target username (1) (2)
Simon (talk) 06:51, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(no entity) Question: Does this mean that Simon and LivingShadow are both your accounts? King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:19, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bbs_gpc → Berns

Current name: Bbs_gpc (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: Berns (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. Bbs gpc (talk) 13:18, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Please provide a reason for renaming. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:38, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: Given that has been active in the last week and would have the best claim to SUL, can you confirm you are him? MBisanz ^talk 04:27, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Johannes Feest → Johann Nepomuk

Current name: Johannes Feest (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: Johann Nepomuk (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: unification. Johann Nepomuk (talk) 13:19, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please use the "Johannes Feest" account to confirm that you own both Johann Nepomuk and Johannes Feest. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 15:08, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Woodwalker → Woudloper

Current name: Woodwalker (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: Woudloper (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: Since I created a SUL account, I keep getting logged out when I switch wikis. This is really annoying. Woodwalker (talk) 21:26, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. WJBscribe (talk) 22:54, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bjweeks → Brandon

Current username: Bjweeks (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Target username: Brandon (talk · contribs · global contribs · logs · block log)
Datestamp: 03:07, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
For bureaucrat use: SUL report (old • new) | Email target username (1) (2)
BJ^Talk 03:07, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat note: Given you own the global account at [1], that the enwiki user has no edits and has not edited since they registered in October 2003, and that the Polish user who has ~500 edits has not edited since 2007, I am going to perform the SUL request. MBisanz ^talk 03:08, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done It did time out and I had to manually move the userpage, but it appears to have worked. MBisanz ^talk 03:16, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Raketler → Dak1952

Current name: Raketler (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: Dak1952 (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. I am adding my website along with all the other external links for Diana Ross websites. "raketler" is part of the web address and it was also my user name. I have been sdvised to change my user name to another one. Raketler (talk) 05:30, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
