[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)

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)

Please follow step 5 of Commons:Changing username#Procedure. Sorry, SUL tool is not working now. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 17:04, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
