Wikibooks:Requests for renaming/2008/August

Rebecca → Rebecca (usurped)

 * Reason: Usurp for SUL - Rebecca is one of the ombudspersons, and requires this account to fulfill that role; account had one undo, no other edits or log entries and no email enabled. &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 03:42, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 03:42, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Lee-SUL → Lee

 * Reason: SUL. I'm Lee from Sinhala wikipedia. I need to get the ownership of name Lee to complete my SUL setup.

Computer → タチコマ robot

 * Reason: Hi, I'd like my bot User:Computer to be renamed to User:タチコマ robot. This rename request is per my wikimedia wide bot username rename. I have decided to have a single username to more efficiently use SUL. Thanks. -- Cat chi? 14:36, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Joseph (temp) → Joseph

 * Reason: For SUL completion. Joseph (temp) (talk) 15:30, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Would you please make an edit on trwikibooks confirming this request? &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 15:35, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * here
 * ✅ &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 16:31, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

U (temp) → U

 * Reason: I am w:en:User:U and would like to unify the existing, and apparently unused, U account here if possible. In my looking around, I haven't found any policy about single-letter user names here, so hopefully they're acceptable. :) U (temp) (talk) 10:24, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Would you please provide an edit on English Wikipedia to prove you own that account? &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 20:43, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * And done. Thx. :) U (temp) (talk) 06:05, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Jocke pirat → Jocke Pirat
19:35, July 30, 2008 Jocke Pirat (Talk | contribs | block) Account created automatically This account was created very recently. I'm going to try to contact the user in question, but I do not think I am not prepared to usurp the account at this time, unless they consent. Perhaps another bureaucrat could comment on this one? &mdash; <b style="color:#309;">Mike.lifeguard</b> &#124; talk 19:38, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Reason: In order to merge my wikibooks account into my main SUL account. Jocke pirat (talk) 19:33, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I am the same person. The only reason this account exists is simply because I browsed the wiki at one point while I was logged into my SUL. Jocke Pirat (talk) 19:46, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, so you own both accounts, and want to do Jocke Pirat &rarr; Jocke Pirat (usurped) and Jocke pirat &rarr; Jocke Pirat? What is wrong with using these accounts as they are now? If you're using Jocke Pirat on other wikis, you will be logged in with that username automatically when you come here. &mdash; <b style="color:#309;">Mike.lifeguard</b> &#124; talk 09:59, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I'd like my contributions to the wiki to be transferred over as I had done with my Wikipedia account. Jocke pirat (talk) 15:24, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

sometemporaryname → Bob

 * Reason: I'm Bob on enwiki and want to take advantage of SUL. Sometemporaryname (talk) 07:10, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ &mdash; <b style="color:#309;">Mike.lifeguard</b> &#124; talk 11:56, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Warut → Warut (usurped)

 * Reason: I own the SUL account:Warut. I'd like to usurp username:Warut here which has never been used since its registration in November 2006. However, I don't have an account here yet. Do I need to create an account first and then ask for renaming? Thanks in advance.--58.9.222.124 (talk) 07:51, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ &mdash; <b style="color:#309;">Mike.lifeguard</b> &#124; talk 18:29, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot! :) Warut (talk) 22:52, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
