[edit] 2007 (August on)

[edit] <My full name> to TM

It was a bad decision to use my full name as username because it appears on hundreds of “This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons” pages, even in foreign Wikipedia projects I never participated. I'm already using “TM” as my public signature. PS: I like my edits and I would like to track my edits. That's why I do not want to create a second account. But I do not like my name spread all over the place. --TM 12:54, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Done. Your talk page history was also moved.--Jusjih 14:01, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RomanNose to rosp

Please change my id "RomanNose" to "rosp" --RomanNose 19:42, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Done The user "User:RomanNose" has been renamed to "User:Rosp". ++Lar: t/c 21:04, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you --Rosp 06:36, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fredstober → Fred Stober

Done User:FredStober was renamed to User:Fred Stober. --EugeneZelenko 14:33, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Eärendil to User:Gil-Estel

Hi! I recently created my account under the name "Eärendil". However, I discovered a few moments later that a very similar username is already used on the French-speaking Wikipedia (see fr:Utilisateur:Earendel). I registered there under the name fr:User:Gil-Estel, and I'd like to change my username here accordingly. I have only a few edits here, but I uploaded a picture, so it seems cleaner to me this way. Eärendil 16:15, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Done User:Eärendil was renamed to User:Gil-Estel. --EugeneZelenko 14:07, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Rebelguys2 to User:RG2

For the sake of consistency after a similar username change on en. Rebelguys2 21:01, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Done User:Rebelguys2 was renamed to User:RG2. --EugeneZelenko 14:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Requesting username change in order to keep consistency between WMF project names. Steptrip 01:34, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Done User:Steptrip was renamed to User:Magnus animum. --EugeneZelenko 14:12, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Usrl to User:Lucid

L is my username on enwp, and I'm tired of people saying that I "only picked it for vanity", so I've decided to change it to another name I like. I would just create a new account here, if it weren't for having already uploaded an image that I would like to prevent confusion over. --Usrl 02:08, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Done User:Usrl was renamed to User:Lucid. --EugeneZelenko 14:14, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edmundkh to EdmundEzekielMahmudIsa

Dear sir, "kh" comes from my Chinese, or actually Hokkien, surname. But actually I don't like to be a Chinese! So, please change my username into such a name which is half-Jewish half-Arab. Thank you!
P/S: Please leave me a message in either English or Malay (Bahasa Melayu) Wikipedia. --Edmund the King of the Woods! 10:13, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Done User:Edmundkh was renamed to User:EdmundEzekielMahmudIsa. --EugeneZelenko 14:10, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello, due to SLU, i would like to change me name to old.timer. - Wc-ReDwolf 06:56, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Could you crosslink from another account where you have this id and post a link to it? thanks. ++Lar: t/c 13:23, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't know if this is what you've asked: username change on fr: - Wc-ReDwolf 14:41, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Not exactly. I may be paranoid here, but I want to prevent impersonations, so please accept my apologies. What I mean is post on your fr:wikipedia user or talk page (while logged in) that your current ID on commons is Wc-ReDwolf and then give a link to that post. That way we know it's you. ++Lar: t/c 14:55, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Is this the right link? - Wc-ReDwolf 15:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Indeed it is! ++Lar: t/c 15:22, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Done Wc-ReDwolf -> Old.timer and user/talk pages moved. ++Lar: t/c 15:22, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Or give a ref to your WikiMatrix if you have one. (see m:User:Lar/WikiMatrix for mine) ... ++Lar: t/c 22:24, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:riana_dzasta to User:Riana

  • The Riana account was stupidly created by me to redirect to my userpage. If it's possible, I'd like to simply usurp that account (i.e. I would contribute to Commons under the name Riana instead of my current riana_dzasta). NB I am an administrator. Thanks :) ~ Riana ⁂ 11:52, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Done User:Riana was renamed to User:Riana (usurped) and User:riana_dzasta was renamed to User:Riana. --EugeneZelenko 14:29, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Crosslink from one of those accounts, please... (make an edit to that account (to user or talk page), as you, saying that your ID here is Helios89 and you are requesting a change, then give the diff of that post here.) That establishes you are you, and not an imposter, and assuming you're not blocked or whatever, we'll do the usurp for you. ++Lar: t/c 17:41, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Claudio Sanna to KS

I'm changing my username in some Wikimedia projects as en.wiki and it.wiki (where I'm currently sysop), and, as Auroranorth, I'd like to use KS as my new username. Thanks! --Claudio Sanna 20:16, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Could you crosslink from another account where you have this id (from that account, on that wiki, post saying this is you here, perhaps on your user page) and post a link to it? thanks. Or give a ref to your WikiMatrix if you have one. (see m:User:Lar/WikiMatrix for an example) ++Lar: t/c 21:15, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
in italian and english wikipedia my username is actually Claudio Sanna. In french wikipedia is KS75. My italian userpage has already a crosslink to this account on Commons (to see, just open the "altri progetti" window). I hope this is enough for you, but if it doesn't, I'll wait tomorrow night when my it.wiki name will be changed in KS for add a new crosslink to this Commons userpage. Bye, --Claudio Sanna 00:02, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Geisterbanker to S1 (usurp)

I am User:S1 in the German Wikipedia (you find the confirmation here) and I would like to have the same username here. However, User:S1 is already registered and have made a couple of edits which meanwhile are all deleted. Is it possible to usurpate this user name under these circumstances? Thanks, Geisterbanker 17:54, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Done The user "User:S1" has been renamed to "User:S1-Usurped", and then the user "User:Geisterbanker" has been renamed to "User:S1". ++Lar: t/c 21:16, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Latin instead of the Cyrillic --Александрит 17:58, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Is this to be aligned with your ID on the ru:wp? Could you crosslink from another account where you have this id (from that account, on that wiki, post saying this is you here, perhaps on your user page) and post a link to it? Thanks. Or give a ref to your WikiMatrix if you have one. (see m:User:Lar/WikiMatrix for an example) ++Lar: t/c 11:41, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Auroranorth to AuroraCommons (withdrawn)

Hi! To keep in line with the other Wikimedia projects I'm involved in, I'd like to use AuroraCommons as my username. Thank you. Auroranorth 13:15, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

That kinda goes counter to the idea of Single User Login... are you sure that's a good idea? ++Lar: t/c 13:20, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand 'Single User Login'. Auroranorth 13:31, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Coming soon, it will be possible (and in fact desirable) to log in using one password, one ID, across all the wikis where you have accounts. but your username needs to be the same (and the email it is associated with needs to be the same) across all wikis. You're moving away from that idea I think by setting up different accounts on different wikis, which may make things inconvenient for you in future. Most other people are moving in the other direction, changing to the same name on all wikis, even usurping unused names in some cases, where it makes sense to do so. I can't find the most relevant explanation, but see meta:H:UL for a starting point. This is coming and it will be cool... but from the questions: "Q: Can I merge different usernames? - A:No, but this might be possible in future versions.' See also testwiki merge account test feature ... hence my question, are you SURE you want to do this? I could be confused as to what you want to do, but if you wanted to change BACK later, I'd be somewhat concerned. ++Lar: t/c 14:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
I have left a reminder at the user's en:wp talk page but if there is no further response after a short while, I'd recommend declining the request and archiving it as it does move in what I consider the wrong direction. Other thoughts? ++Lar: t/c 15:35, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
See w:User_talk:Lar#Rename_request where the user has responded. I am not sure what is meant by "SUL means nothing much to me"... I don't know if the user still, after the references I gave, does not get what SUL is (in which case more explaining is needed) or if they get what it is and don't care (in which case I would be inclined not to grant the request as I think it makes more work for others later. Perhaps I am confused??? Comments from others?) ++Lar: t/c 14:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Decline it, I don't mind. Thanks, Auroranorth 14:31, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
OK. I advise you staying Auroranorth here, and changing away from the specific wiki names elsewhere. Best of luck. ++Lar: t/c 21:32, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Not done request withdrawn ++Lar: t/c 10:12, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stephkoch to Meisterkoch (withdrawn)

Please change my username in commons to my new username in line with other wiki projects to Meisterkoch. Thanks. --Stephkoch 11:25, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Could you crosslink from another account where you have this id (from that account, on that wiki, post saying this is you here, perhaps on your user page) and post a link to it? Thanks. --EugeneZelenko 14:37, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Please find the links on my user page, or click this redirect for de:wiki. Thanks --Stephkoch 07:57, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Meisterkoch (talk • contribs • count • logs • page moves • block log • email) already exists, so this is a usurpation request. It also has recent edits, see the logs or contributions. Is that you too? We don't normally usurp users with recent edits unless both users are already controlled by the same person. I'd want to see crosslinkage between both userids here, with each ID having some sort of statement that the user is also in control of the other ID. Let me know if that's not clear. (If it is not you, you'll have to wait till SUL or get the other user to agree to a move as well) ++Lar: t/c 12:10, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Lar, looking forward to the SUL. Meisterkoch (talk • contribs • count • logs • page moves • block log • email) is not me, some blocked user from de:wiki, thought it might be funny registering my name, after he has probably seen my change user request in de:wiki. But I can't prove it, so just ignore the whole change user request. --Stephkoch 17:33, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Kein Problem. :) I hear SUL is "real soon now" ... I suppose getting the other fellow to agree to the change for your benefit is "nicht möglich"? :) ++Lar: t/c 21:32, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Not done request withdrawn ++Lar: t/c 10:12, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WJBscribe to Will (withdrawn)

Looks like my name isn't taken - I'd love to have it :-). WjBscribe 05:58, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Remember m:SUL is coming... en:wp (among other places) has a w:User:Will already and once SUL happens, your name here would need to change back. I find this tool quite helpful, it shows that for Will, there are a lot of users out there on various wikis. I'd be inclined to decline this request (unless you actually are that user Will on en and can prove it by crosslinking.. (see User:Lar/Crosslink, the standard boilerplate I use to ask for crosslinks) ) Hope that helps. ++Lar: t/c 10:08, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure why such a link would be necessary - the details of SUL are still to be worked out. Its unclear if my account here was User:Will what effect what outcome there would be to the conflict between user names that generates. I would however like this username on Commons - if I return to being User:WJBscribe once SUL comes in, never mind. If I get to be User:Will on en.wiki - so much the better. Also there is no reason why under SUL one cannot have accounts on different Wikis by different names - they simply cannot be unified. WjBscribe 10:40, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
SUL is coming. It is, I believe, much closer than you think, and the details are quite firm as I understand it. I don't think that increasing the number of accounts that can't be unified is a good idea, as it increases work that has to be done later (every exception requires manual review and may lead to rechanges later). I may be misinterpreting or inventing policy on this, but I am inclined to deny requests to move to non unified IDs (see the archive, the last two entries are requests withdrawn after the user fully understood SUL), and to require crosslinking on requests where the ID exists elsewhere and the user asserts such. Now in this particular case, the en:wp Will account appears to be quite old and inactive, but it does have significant contributions. Other Will accounts are fresher and more active. One of them can well make a case to usurp your Will during the advent of SUL, so why make more work? Other crats may well feel differently, I am, after all, the newest one and we have many others. I welcome input from others. ++Lar: t/c 10:49, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Well I would certainly appreciate a second opinion from another crat. It seems an odd result to me that because someone registered w:User:Will and made a couple of hundred edits back in 2004 I can now not have that username on a completely different Wiki. Nothing in the recent threads on Wikitech-l suggests that Brion intends to force people to unify their names across projects. I believe I am familiar with what is being proposed for SUL and I would still like this rename. I would point out that there is nothing to stop someone creating the account and making significant contributions with it - I feel it a reasonable request for me as an established contributor to the Commons to be renamed to that username. As to recent edits by other accounts, I am User:Will on en.wikisource.org [1]. WjBscribe 10:56, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
As far as I understood SUL policy, user with more contributions will get name. From other side I don't follow SUL news closely (it became soap opera :-(), so my knowledge there is limited. --EugeneZelenko 15:13, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
I see no issue with changing WJBScribe's username if he wants to change it. Let the SUL issues work out when it comes. AFAIK, we don't really have a policy on whether or not SUL applies to our changing usernames here. Cary Bass demandez 16:04, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Given the above, as long as you are OK with the ramifications, I have no objections then. I'll have to think about what a more nuanced approach (in the general case) ought to be, I guess. ++Lar: t/c 21:23, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks to everyone for their input. I've decided to withdraw the request after several people have pointed out that while WJBscribe is a unique name associated with me, Will is generic. I hope this hasn't been a waste of everyone's time - I agree with Lar that we need to work out a nuanced policy for how to handle requests that raise these issues and hopefully our having thrashed out some of the arguments is a good thing in developing that.

Absolutely. See the header of this page, there is a start at a policy there already (which I drafted before this need for nuance became apparent...) perhaps you could help refine it? Let's discuss on the talk page if anyone is so inclined. ++Lar: t/c 16:23, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bufu to Schmelzle

In preparation for SUL i want to have my commons-username changed to the username Schmelzle i am active with in german wikipedia (thats where i work most), see here. I hope thats possible. Regards--Bufu 22:14, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

could you double check that see here... it seems to lead to red pages. Or better yet.... Could you crosslink from another account where you have this id (from that account, on that wiki, post saying this is you here, perhaps on your user page) and post a diff to it? Thanks. Or give a ref to your WikiMatrix if you have one. (see m:User:Lar/WikiMatrix for an example). Thanks ++Lar: t/c 01:45, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
My userpage in german wikipedia is [2], i added the line „I am "Bufu" in wikimedia commons.“ to it [3] to proof its me.--Bufu 07:38, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. The older link wasn't quite right for some reason.... you had an L missing in your ID. I'll be doing this shortly. ++Lar: t/c 14:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Done The user "User:Bufu" has been renamed to "User:Schmelzle". ++Lar: t/c 16:24, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Heligoland" to "Nick":

Just to keep everything in line with my main account on en.wiki. Confirmation is available on my userpages here and on en.wiki (at en:User:Nick. Nick 22:27, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Done User:Nick was renamed to User:Nick (usurped) and User:Heligoland was renamed to User:Nick. --EugeneZelenko 14:49, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Ostikhin" to "Flrn"

I've changed my username in Russian Wikipedia, English Wikipedia and I'm planning to change this nickname in all projects of Wikimedia. Ostikhin 12:57, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Could you crosslink from another account where you have this id (from that account, on that wiki, post saying this is you here, perhaps on your user page) and post a diff to it? Thanks. Or give a ref to your WikiMatrix if you have one. (see m:User:Lar/WikiMatrix for an example). Thanks (note, I will not do requests without a crosslink if there is a claim that it is to unify userids.. other 'crats might but I will not.) ++Lar: t/c 14:12, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
See here. --Ostikhin 14:45, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alaisd to Aliasd (usurp) (and vice versa if possible)

I hope to usurp an account I own for single login. My main account is Alaisd (talk • contribs) where I use Aliasd (talk • contribs) on most wikis. I mostly keep both my accounts as dopplegangers, as I have here, but would like to move my contribs over to the standard account. Alaisd 13:51, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed ownership of second account. Aliasd 13:55, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
I've given this a subheading partly for archival purposes.. and partly to confirm, what you are asking to do is to usurp an account you control already? (if not, please change the header to reflect what it is you want...) Would you like the end result to be that both accounts still exist but basically swapped around, if at all possible? (I think maybe with enough moves we can get that to happen for you...) I don't see any problem with this, the history shows clearly you control both accounts... just out of curiousity, can you give a pointer to another wiki where you have an account? It doesn't, in this case, really matter I don't think. ++Lar: t/c 15:13, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
PS I should note, there is no way to merge the current contributions of both accounts to just one. All that can be done is renaming, not merging. If I've correctly understood what you want, please let us know and it will be done shortly. ++Lar: t/c 15:17, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Totally happy with that. The only contribution of Aliasd (talk • contribs) on commons is this page. Alaisd 23:37, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
I own aliasd on tpiwiki (admin), enwiki, meta, and beta. Alaisd 23:38, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
There is a link back from these accounts. Alaisd 23:40, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Also, would appreciate a swap around, but it is not necessary. I am mostly interested in moving my contribs to User:Aliasd, although I do try and reserve alaisd as a doppleganger to prevent impersonation. Alaisd 00:23, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Done

  • The user "User:Aliasd" has been renamed to "User:Aliasd (temporary)".
    • The page User:Aliasd/Template:Wikilink has been moved to User:Aliasd (temporary)/Template:Wikilink.
  • The user "User:Alaisd" has been renamed to "User:Aliasd".
    • The page User:Alaisd has been moved to User:Aliasd.
    • The page User:Alaisd/Template:header has been moved to User:Aliasd/Template:header.
    • The page User talk:Alaisd has been moved to User talk:Aliasd.
  • The user "User:Aliasd (temporary)" has been renamed to "User:Alaisd".
    • The page User:Aliasd (temporary)/Template:Wikilink has been moved to User:Alaisd/Template:Wikilink.

This should have effected a full swap. I hope. You may have to go fix up some redirects and the like. Please advise of any problems. (I am going to hold off archiving this one for a bit, till you say it's sorted, as it was a bit tricky) ++Lar: t/c 16:07, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

WOW! That was a lot of effort! Everything works perfectly, I have fixed the redirects (the page works at least), and thankyou so much for helping out! I bet you don't have to do too many of these :) Aliasd 20:57, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
