Golbez → Andrew
- Current name: Golbez (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
- Requested name: Andrew (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
- Datestamp: 14:11, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- Reason: This is my real first name, and since some of my work is going viral I thought it was time to grow up from using a video game character as my name. I usurped the account some time ago, now I'm actually wanting to switch my contributions to it. I'm putting in a usurpation request on Commons as well. (It's my understanding that it's not possible to do a global SUL rename, that I'd have to request renames on my few other accounts individually, yes? What would happen to the SUL Golbez account then?) Golbez (talk) 14:11, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- The requested username is already registered; see Special:Listusers. Please choose another name that does not appear on that list.
- There is no global account registered for Andrew, however there are 67 unattached accounts on other wikis. --Legobot (talk) 14:30, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- Are you fa:wiki:User:Andrew? They currently have the best claim to the SUL. See WP:SUL/C. –xenotalk 15:26, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- I am not, no. Woulda been simpler if I'd gone through with the rename in 2011, huh. --Golbez (talk) 15:56, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not necessarily; the user existed then as well. If you can clear it with them, we can proceed locally but of course you wouldn't be able to go onto fa.wiki with your SUL (unless they renamed to something else). –xenotalk 16:07, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- So, it looks like my options are ... I can rename to Andrew locally and ... I would still have the Golbez SUL for other wikis, right? Or, I can convince fawiki Andrew to give up his name (not likely) and then get the Andrew SUL? --Golbez (talk) 19:03, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- The SUL conflict handling guidelines hold that we should not rename you from "Golbez" to "Andrew" locally because that would allow you to "take over" the claim to the SUL 'Andrew' which currently belongs to fa:wiki:Andrew. (Currently there is no SUL; the fa user simply holds the best claim.) If the fa user 1) renames themselves or 2) indicates they don't care about SUL (i.e. says you can have it), then we could proceed with the rename here. –xenotalk 19:19, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

I'd like to withdraw this for now; I'm going to be away from the internet for the next three weeks. I'll resume this process when I return. --Golbez (talk) 18:23, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
