Buy Cialis Online - Online Pharmacy → something else

Promotional username, should be changed. Razorflame 18:19, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Since when do we rename promotional usernames? Besides, this one hasn't even edited. It's been blocked; that should be sufficient. PeterSymonds (talk) 18:21, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Promotional usernames are made to promote something. If we don't rename it, then it will still be promoting whatever it is that they want to promote, yes? Therefore, we should rename it so that it can no longer do this. Razorflame 18:23, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Blocks are generally sufficient, especially if the user hasn't edited. –Juliancolton (talk) 14:16, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

User:Deviceanywhere → SpyGuy6789

I am new to this site and would like to change my username User:Deviceanywhere to something closer to my email. I have checked, and this name (SpyGuy6789) is available. I had originally chosen the original username for convenience of the entry I had posted, but since joining have realized you can have multiple entries posted to one name. So, hopefully this will clear up confusion on that entry. I hope I put this request in the correct section. Thanks for your help! Deviceanywhere (talk)

I can still re-unify my account. TurboGolf 19:31, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
I have no objections at all; all I wanted to say is that renaming you here does not affect your global name; I have no ideas of the technicalities of reunifying your account; all I said was: renaming you here will detach your account. Should I still go ahead?--Eptalon (talk) 19:35, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Er...yes. I will re-unify when i am renamed. TurboGolf 19:39, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

The account "+" is blocked at enwiki, because of the username. Barras || talk 17:59, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
I said " +? "--Deoxyribonucleic (talk) 18:02, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
Well, I am not sure, but this account would probably be blocked on enwiki as well. Barras || talk 18:08, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
It meets the criteria of WP:Usernames...Its not at all complex, hard to understand, interfering etc....I was surprised how + was blocked when it is produced by "shift and =" in std 107 utf 8 keyboard--Deoxyribonucleic (talk) 18:13, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
The account may get blocked at enwiki, but there are examples there that are similar symbol-based names that are not blocked. The name does not technically violate our username policy, so I am willing to rename it as long as you are aware that it might be questioned on enwiki and elsewhere. Do you want me to continue? fr33kman talk 18:16, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
I can tell you that it would give you troubles if you ever intend to be an admin. As admins are often forced to change their name when it consists of only symbols on en. Something to consider. -Djsasso (talk) 18:24, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Usurp request for Samar

I own the SUL account Samar and would like to usurp the account here. The account is almost 6 months old, and the user last edited on March 16, 2009. My request for the SUL account can be seen here. My identity can be confirmed on my main wiki here. Marsa Lahminal (talk) 17:11, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

  Not done per Note: the username you wish to take must have no edits, and must be more than 6 months old.. This account has edits. -DJSasso (talk) 18:31, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
The user has only 3 edits on his own userpage and that too almost 6 months old. Is there any chance I can usurp the account if the user does not edit for long? Regards Marsa Lahminal (talk) 18:41, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
The rules are as long as they have a single edit no matter how old that you can't usurp. However I will look through some archives to see if there is any precedent. However, I am betting any cases where we have done it will be or accounts that were multiple years old as opposed to only a few months. -DJSasso (talk) 03:37, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Usurp request for Bcat

I own the SUL username Bcat and would like to usurp the existing Bcat. That account isn't mine, but it only has one edit, in userspace, which merely promotes Brooklyn Free Speech TV and Brooklyn Community Access Television. I confirmed my identity on my home wiki here. — 71.147.49.5 (talk) 23:11, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

  Not done Unfortuantely in order to usurp the account it must have no edits and be more than 6 months old. It fails on both accounts. -DJSasso (talk) 23:33, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
I know, but does that account meet policy on simple? It seems like it is intended to represent (officially or unofficially) Brooklyn Community Access Television (BCAT). Accounts representing groups are not allowed on en per their username policy. Does simple share this restriction? I can't find anything about this in simple's policies, and the only guideline that looks like it might be relevant is Follow English Wikipedia. — 71.147.49.5 (talk) 23:55, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
I know, was trying to decide on this. Give it a couple weeks and if it doesn't edit I will Usurp it for you. Unless you are trying to start editing here immediately. -DJSasso (talk) 00:59, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
That sounds great, thanks. I certainly don't want to mess with a legitimate user's account, but if they don't intend to do anything else then I would like to be able to fully unify my accounts. — 71.147.49.5 (talk) 03:38, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I am en:User:B, an administrator on the English Wikipedia, and I own the SUL User:B. The local Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:UserLinks/shared' not found. only edited once - a minor edit in July 2007. The other two edits attributed to this account were actually my edits on the English Wikipedia and presumably got brought over in the transwiki process. Compare [3] with [4] and [5] with [6]. In other words, two of the three edits from this user name are my edits. Please move this user name out of the way so that my SUL account can take over.

  Done Chenzw  Talk  08:09, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. just wondering, isn't it normal to leave a window where the original user can object to the rename? after alerting them via e-mail if they have that set, or leaving a message on their talk page. on other wikis I have had to wait a week or two - it hasn't ever been an issue as I've only attempted to usurp clearly inactive accounts, but that does seem like a good policy to use. in any case, thanks for the rename. -Ethan (talk) • 2009-02-20 23:32 (UTC)

Darkice --> Something else

I lost my password to my backup account User:Darkice and I would like a bureaucrat to rename this account and delete all pages related to that account so that I can recreate my backup account here with a password that I know. Thanks, Razorflame 22:04, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

  Question: Isn't there a password reset for that or something?-- Chris†ianMan16 t c r 22:12, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I was wondering if I could rename my account to be merged with my SUL (see en:User:Andrew c and confirmation).

Themaeeandhisfriend → Shannon1

To unify global account. I'd started editing under that username shortly before I found this page. If you have doubts about the validity, I can prove it. I only made about 20 edits under Shannon1, so I don't know if this is the right place to merge accounts. themaee 02:50, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

I would like to change my name to Z. The account already exists here, but the last edits were in 2007, thank you. Oysterguitarist 23:13, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Note: The user account Z appears to exist on wikis which you do not have control of the username. This will result in a painstaking effort to rename all the Zs on the other wikis for SUL unification. Do you wish to continue? Chenzw  Talk  00:14, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
I only want to change my name here and on en, how would that affect my SUL unification? Oysterguitarist 00:35, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
Greatly. For one, you won't be able to even unify your accounts due to the User:Z we have on various other wikis (which you most probably don't control; one has even been blocked). Chenzw  Talk  00:43, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
How about Exert? Oysterguitarist 01:31, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
Looks good, with one inactive user on sv: with 2 edits. Do note that all Oysterguitarists will have to be renamed if you want the SUL unification to be successful (which I don't think you are trying to do?). Chenzw  Talk  04:32, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
