Tenmei → Enkyo2 (2nd request)

Status:    Not done

Tenmei (talk) 21:44, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

  • I'd be inclined to agree with Chenzw you seem to be gaming the system by continually changing your name in what appears to be an attempt to confuse people. -DJSasso (talk) 02:38, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
  • So now you appear to be accusing me of bullying. I urge you to qualify your opinion further. If you have any issues with my judgement, you can always go to WP:RFA.
  • Whether other wikis approve your username rename request or not is irrelevant here - according to this SUL report, User:Enkyo exists on this wiki (and kowiki), while that user does not exist on any other wiki. Bureaucrats on other wikis are free to approve your rename request; as bureaucrat on this wiki, I reserve the right to deny your request per the username policy.
  • You are warned that repeated attempts to game the system and future occurrences of tendentious editing and/or attempts at disrupting the consensus building process will result in further sanctions.
  •  Bureaucrat note: It would be great if another bureaucrat can look at the opinions of DJ and myself and come to a final opinion on this matter. Chenzw  Talk  03:52, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
  • X mark.svg Not done - I've to agree with my fellow 'crats on this one. The continued username changing is some kind gaming the system. What other wikis do or not is their choice and not relevant for us. -Barras talk 16:16, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Tenmei → Enkyo2

Status:    Not done

Tenmei (talk) 14:47, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Denied: Per username policy - "Do not use a name similar to another user." Furthermore, I want to make it clear here that I will be denying all future rename requests from you, because you appear to be abusing the user renaming process. Renaming yourself after you encounter a conflict with other editors does not constitute "strategic withdrawal", and could be seen as gaming the system. Chenzw  Talk  14:59, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
This denial is unreasonable.

@Chenzw -- I'm sorry you have developed this opinion; and I don't understand it. This request calls for a different response. I can only guess is that this has something to do with SEWP's culture of bullying.

In very plain terms, we start with one clear fact. The ordinary ability to change my username is part of a process. It empowers me in drawing a line between what is within my control and what is not. Are you asserting that it is not within my power to exercise this small degree of personal control? Why not? I perceive no compelling rationale which explains this denial of choice. --Tenmei (talk) 21:23, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Well there is the fact that username policy does not allow you to create an account name that is so similar to another users. Just adding a 2 to the name violates policy. -DJSasso (talk) 02:40, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

  • Datestamp: 19:00, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Reason: This is a formal attempt to step back from bullying and argument. I can do nothing about the fact that others have made Tenmei into a kind of "red flag"; but I can move sideways. The new name wards off something bad; and it looks towards a prolonged period of peaceful work. Lua error in Module:Unicode_data at line 293: attempt to index local 'data_module' (a boolean value). is a Lua error in Module:Unicode_data at line 293: attempt to index local 'data_module' (a boolean value). for the period from October 1308 through April 1311. It means "becoming prolonged." This process brings an explicit focus to the difficulty of meaningful change. Gandhi recognized that "fear has its use"; but it is not good for me nor for our Wikipedia project. I fear that the name Tenmei is a magnet which attracts the wrong sort of attention. This is another strategic withdrawal from conflict and problems which don't need to be problems.

    In 2008, a leading voice in en:WP:WikiProjectJapan advised "In order to accomplish anything here, you're going to have to learn to work with people who may not be immediately or apparently amiable, or who may be outright caustic in all their dealings with everyone." In this, I bend like a reed in a way that is specific and plain.

Tenmei (talk) 19:00, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

  • The SUL is owned by the other user. SUL accounts can't be usurped only unattached accounts. He "owns" the right to the name on every wiki already. -DJSasso (talk) 19:05, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Is this the correct venue to begin the ordinary process of usurping this seemingly inactive username? Is this the procedurally correct way to begin? --Tenmei (talk) 20:23, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Denied: You cannot ask to usurp the username of another editor if unless you have control that username on more than one other wiki. The editor has the right to that username, and whether that editor is inactive or not does not matter. Chenzw  Talk  01:02, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

  Bureaucrat note: Per your comment here, I would want to put it on the record that I do not approve of the reason behind your requested rename. My opinion is that it is in the long-term interests of the wiki to decline this request at least while the dispute mentioned at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Bullying is still ongoing. To approve this request and, as you put it, take you "out of this arguing context", is akin to ignoring the larger issue at hand. I am not saying that other bureaucrats will definitely share my sentiments, so I will leave this open for now. Chenzw  Talk  12:20, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
Yes, I think I almost understand the point; however, months of experience have taught us all that patience alone is not good enough. Chenzw is wrong to trivialize a serious problem with the word "dispute". The process of changing username brings a specific focus to the need for meaningful change. Gandhi recognized that "fear has its use"; but it is not good for me nor for our SEWP project. --Ansei (talk) 19:16, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Considering the username usurpation rules, I would like to take my username here too. The user Kelvin has just 1 edit, and in 2007. I would like to add my contributions from my present/former username Kelvin125. Thanks in advance.

Moved the old Phoebe to Phoebe Alternate and moved Brassratgirl to Phoebe. You will need to go into your preferences and add it back to your SUL. -DJSasso (talk) 12:05, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Kubura-radispajanjaračuna (talk) 04:14, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

My homewiki http://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suradnik:Kubura . Confirmation links [8] [9]. For the Single User Login, I would like to request username usurpation at your wiki for the account User:Kubura which has few edits here from two years ago.
Please rename the local account user:Kubura so that I can usurp that username and complete my SUL account. Thank You. Kubura-radispajanjaračuna (talk) 04:14, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, the currently existing account as quite a few edits here and not only minor edits but content work. A rename can only be done if the user agrees to it. I will leave them a notice about that. Regards, -Barras talk 10:06, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
I've seen those edits. I still think that it's not a barrier to usurpation here. I'm not asking to usurp the credit for his work, I'm just asking for the username. His work will still be credited to that user.
You should rename that user, because of the possible impersonation problem. I'm very known user in hr.wp and en.wp (English!) and elsewhere across Wikimedia, I'm established user, with very big editcount, my word is appreciated among my colleagues, users trust to my word.
That user with the same username appeared here in a week when I was not on Wikipedia. [10]June 11. This is my activity on hr.wiki [11] (see the bottom) on that week (absent June 8 - June 15). At the time that user appeared, I have been established Wikipedian for years (and sysop).
Because of that possible impersonation problem, I have been uncomfortable.
That account is a "sleeper-account": user appears very rarely. What if he appears after few years or never again? For him, Wikipedia is occasional thing. For me, it's regular thing, I'm regular author, sysop and maintainer, and established user on Wikimedian projects under the name Kubura.
That occasional user will be renamed anyway, without asking him or You (see SUL finalisation announcement). Therefore, I find that it's better that You rename that user so we can solve this issue locally. Sincere greetings, Kubura-radispajanjaračuna (talk) 01:25, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
That is irrelevant due to usurping rules we can't usurp a name of anyone that has major content edits. As such we wouldn't be able to usurp his account for you. When the new SUL policy goes into effect they can make whatever change they determine, but as things stand now we can not usurp. -DJSasso (talk) 11:54, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi, everyone. Thank You for the quick replies.
I don't want to push You. We can wait two weeks (but the deadline from Meta is approaching!).
I've looked at the similar case on nl.wp, the case that user Floflo from fr.wp mentioned.
Here's what they did for fr.user Floflo.
They informed (on 10 apr 2012 ) the nl.user Floflo. They gave him two weeks for response.
After that, they renamed nl.user Floflo -> Floflo (hernoemd).(hernoemd=renamed).
Here's the user rename log of the bureaucrat (also a steward!) that renamed him:
00:52, 24 April 2012 Mathonius (Talk | contribs) renamed user Floflo to Floflo (hernoemd) (8 bewerkingen. Reden: Conform verzoek op Wikipedia:Verzoek voor hernoeming van account (oldid=30474112), zie tevens dit bericht)
The contributions of nl.user Floflo are credited to him, also after the renaming, no loss. Two major edit(s), 6 in total. Article Frans van Veen. Article history: credits given to old nl.user.
On this project, the simple.wp user [12] has 18 edits, only 3 major, 1 blanking. That's not a lot. Similar case as Floflo.
So if no response, You can do as colleagues from nl.wiki did: they renamed the user, although he had few major edits.
The exceptions are made here. Please, no need for blindly hard sticking to the "usurping rules": they have not predicted this kind of situation. If simple.wp user Kubura wanted to be renamed, You'd rename him, without any problem. Why will that be a problem after 2 weeks? And he will be renamed on 27 May, without anyone's consent. We can wait two weeks, but please, don't be hardliner with the rules in this case. Regards, Kubura-radispajanjaračuna (talk) 01:45, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
But he will be effected, they won't be attributed to him under his chosen name. As I stated below they should't have renamed him at nl wiki like they did. You will be renamed in two weeks. He has had this account for years. Why you are suddenly desperate for a rename two weeks early when its likely you will have the SUL once the meta policy goes through has me suspicious about the situation. Have patience at this point. -DJSasso (talk) 11:38, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi, DJSasso. Sorry if I made You any pressure. If You were walking in my wikishoes, You would better understand me. Greetings to all wikifellows. Bye, Kubura-radispajanjaračuna (talk) 02:40, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Status:    Done

213.245.109.253 (talk) 09:55, 26 April 2013 (UTC) Good morning or afternoon, I hope I publish in a right place. I wish to merge the account below with my SUL account Floflo, home-wiki: Fr if it is possible. Thank you by advance.

Unfortunately that account has edits so it can't be Usurped. -DJSasso (talk) 12:26, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
I'm surprised: in previous requests on other projects, in that case, bureaucrats used to leave a message on the talk page and merged while no answer within 2 weeks. Has this project not accepted such a method or shall I ask for a merger in an other place? Floflo, 13:22, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
I can let other 'crats comment but the rules surrounding usurping accounts (for all WMF wikis) are such that the 'crats on other wikis should not have made the change. We can possibly make an exception, but for that I need other 'crats input. -DJSasso (talk) 15:32, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
I don't think there is a particularly strong barrier to usurpation here. The account that is to be usurped has made only 3 edits which are non-significant in nature. Chenzw  Talk  16:30, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Ok for the rules: it's my mistake, I read them but thought I read "no major changes or log entries" which is not the same that "no changes or major log entries", I admit it... Anyway I'm still surprised because until now I had never been told this (see for example this request on nl.wp). Just do as you decide but don't worry for me, I don't want to break the rules (or make you break them). Many thanks, Floflo, 19:03, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Only three minor edits were made quite some time ago. For me it would be ok to usurp that account (after informing the current account holder on their talk page and giving them some time to reply). -Barras talk 12:57, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
Since there seem to be no objections here, I've now informed the user about the request here. We will give him seven days to react. If they don't reject the rename, I will move the account away. Regards, -Barras talk 18:28, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

None (SUL request) → Tirkon

Status:    Done

109.47.0.97 (talk) 04:44, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Tirkon at Simple Wikipedia has the same name like me Tirkon, but is another person. He had only 4 edits on 12 June 2006 and was blocked the same day indefinitly. One of the edits was an article edit, that deleted the whole article text and was reverted a few minutes later. The other three edits were on the discussion page of other users. Because of this I got messages from other wikipedians what the hell I did on Simple Wikipedia.

I would like to add this account to my SUL - but only if I can keep my name "Tirkon", because other people know me by this name in reallife and other *.org -projects as well.

Thanks for watching

Looking at the local user here, I'd say a rename is ok. Pretty much a vandalism-only account with no significant contributions that are worth attribution. Any objections, fellow crats? -Barras talk 18:39, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
