[edit] Jimmy Lavoie to Jimmy

Status:    In progress

I changed my username on the projets I most contribute to and I have to relogin each time I come here, as I use a SUL. Thanks, Jimmy Lavoie (talk) 19:37, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

This user name is also actively used on Scottish-Gaelic Wikipedia. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:42, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
A rename seems fine here. — Kanonkas // talk // e-mail // 20:16, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't think so. Will be good idea if your will choose more unique name. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:44, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Technically a rename is fine, but as you say, a more unique name would be better. — Kanonkas // talk // e-mail // 14:23, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
My 2 cents, but I think its a really bad idea to rename a user into a other username when that name is already in use by somebody else, When the other people will active SUL we have a problem because he wouldn't be allouwed to unify his account. Huib talk 18:28, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Is "Jimmy" his SUL name? If this is the case, I don't see the problem with renaming that to him here. I'm a bit unclear as to whether he owns the global name User:Jimmy. --Bastique demandez 15:25, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I do think he owns the global account, I checked on some places and I think it is one person on some wiki's
So I guess he owns the name in on the wiki's with the most contributions, but I don't think he owns:

I'm not really keen on renamings TO common first name only accounts. However we have precedent, we've done George recently. If (this) Jimmy owns the SUL account (normally we want to get proof of that. That is, have this user edit from an account listed as SUL affirming the name change request, and show that it's an SUL account. But in this case the user has done that, SUL shows "Jimmy" on frwiki is global, and the user supplied a diff from frwiki affirming the name change request), and either; the local account does not exist, has no contributions, or was set up purely to block the SUL (it happens), then I think we should go ahead and do the rename. That's the case here so we should, I think. Regardless of my personal feelings about common first name only accounts (with recognition that I have one (relatively uncommon but not unheard of) and so does my wife (also relatively uncommon but not unheard of)...) ++Lar: t/c 13:01, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Any updates? –Juliancolton | Talk 04:37, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

My proof of ownership on the en.wiki can be found here:

Looks like SUL taken by user from French Wikipedia. I'm not sure about possibility of SUL usurpation, so will be good idea to find unique account name. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:38, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

proof of ownership of dewiki-Account -- Janka-de (talk) 17:11, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
I think will be good idea to choose more unique name. There are several active account with same name on other wikis. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 16:34, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

IIRC, I'd created the User:Janka account on commons myself, then had a problem with email program and could not correctly finish the registration. I was frustrated about this, so I just left commons alone until December 2007, where I've wanted to upload some images to it. I forgot the password for User:Janka so I just created another account. About the other users:

  • dewikibooks: made 3 single edits in a single on 30. Mai 2006, never later. I think this account is abadoned. [1]
  • de: My account
  • en: Had her last edit on 30 April 2009. I will ask if I may pick the commons account.
  • frwikitionary: Had only one edit in 2005. I think this account is abadoned. [2]
  • hr: Had his last edit in 2007. Speaks german so I will ask if I may pick the commons account.
  • nl: Had only one edit in april 2007. I think this account is abadoned.[3]
  • pl: Had only 4 edits on one day in 2005. I think this account is abadoned. [4]
  • ru: Had all his edits on one day in 2007, all on one article and discussion. I think this account is abadoned. [5]
  • sk: Made his/her last edit on January 2008. Knows german, I will ask if I may pick the commons account.
  • zh: Only had this single edit in wikipedia namespace [6]. I think this account is abadoned.

Please tell me if I may pick the commons account name if the "Janka"s in en, hr and sk say it's ok. -- Janka-de (talk) 11:38, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
