Wikibooks:Requests for renaming/2008/July

Ron1221 → Ron

 * Reason: I'd like to have SUL as Ron. and I use Ron on the other projects like Japanese and English Wikipedia, Wikimedia commons, etc. On Wikibooks, username Ron is just existing but no logs, contributions or e-mail address. diff Ron1221 (talk) 09:28, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Would you provide a diff showing you own w:ja:User:Ron please? &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 11:01, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Dear Mike, here is the diff of w:ja:User:Ron. Is this diff of w:ja:User:Ron/SUL I had shown at first, not useful? Ron1221 (talk) 11:40, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I just missed it. ✅ &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 12:27, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem, thank you! -- Ron (talk) 08:02, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Plouj → MichaelPloujnikov
I've already (accidentally) created MichaelPloujnikov and ideally I would like both accounts' changes to be merged under MichaelPloujnikov. If that can't happen then deleting MichaelPloujnikov and renaming Plouj to MichaelPloujnikov will be fine with me. Thanks!
 * Reason: preparing for SUL. diff

MichaelPloujnikov (talk) 15:12, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * We cannot merge accounts in this manner, unfortunately. You made this edit as MichaelPloujnikov, so I don't see why this needs to be changed. You can only have one of those accounts merged into your global account, so if you have control over MichaelPloujnikov, then why not merge that one to the global account? If you want Plouj to be renamed to MichaelPloujnikov so it can be merged to the global account, we'd need a diff showing the user Plouj on this wiki confirming this request so we know you control both accounts, and another on commons to prove you own commons:User:MichaelPloujnikov (to avoid creating SUL conflicts). But again, I don't see that this needs to be done at all. &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 15:30, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I would like to preseve Plouj's history because it's the longest, but I want to end up with a username MichaelPloujnikov. At the top of this request there is a link to a diff by this user (Plouj). Here is one of my diffs on commons: . Does this request make sense now? --Plouj (talk) 17:18, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ then. &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 21:27, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Avxxv → Nikki

 * Reason: Nikki and Avxxv are both mine, but I would like to rename Avxxv to Nikki for SUL since this is the account I actually use. I originally asked here and I confirmed that Nikki on wikipedia is me: Avxxv (talk) 17:06, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 21:30, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! --Nikki (talk) 03:44, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

none → Aurora

 * Reason: SUL. Target account has no edit. Aurora (talk) 08:36, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Would you please provide a diff on mswiki confirming this request? This is to ensure we don't create SUL conflicts. &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 12:21, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, found the diff at meta plus a crosslink. ✅ &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 12:25, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Usurpation of the account Face
I am Face from the English Wikipedia (confirmation diff). I hereby request the usurpation of the name Face. The current user named Face has never made edits, so it shouldn't be a problem. Cheers, Face zz (talk) 22:02, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Jnavas → Jnavas2

 * Reason: Please rename so I can avoid SUL collisions. --John Navas (talk) 19:36, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Moved to WB:RENAME. &mdash; <b style="color:#309;">Mike.lifeguard</b> &#124; talk 20:02, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I understand this one - do you own the other accounts listed at ? &mdash; <b style="color:#309;">Mike.lifeguard</b> &#124; talk 23:39, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅. If you already own the name Jnavas, I don't see how we would be inviting any new conflicts by adding a "2" to the end. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 01:09, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. --John Navas (talk) 03:28, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Crownmaster → Nino

 * Reason: I would like to usurp user Nino here on enwikibooks to make my global Account. Im User:Nino from dewiki. User:Nino on enwikibooks is inactive and hasn't any contributions. Greetings --Crownmaster (talk) 10:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol wait.svg|15px]] On hold - They have email confirmed, so we'll wait a week to see if they respond. Would you please provide a diff on dewiki confirming this request? &mdash; <b style="color:#309;">Mike.lifeguard</b> &#124; talk 12:47, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Here's the difflink --Crownmaster (talk) 12:59, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! Nino (talk) 15:21, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Londenp → Pjetter

 * Reason: I would like to have less ressamblance to my real name. Londenp (talk) 19:51, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Would you provide a diff on nl.wikibooks to show you own that account? If you don't own it then this rename would create a SUL conflict, and we wouldn't do such a rename. &mdash; <b style="color:#309;">Mike.lifeguard</b> &#124; talk 22:46, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I did remove from both accounts the global thing, so you should be able to rename the account now. My account on dutch Wikibooks was already renamed, so I would have to give you a diff on account:Pjetter: nl:Overleg_gebruiker:Pjetter. Thanks Londenp (talk) 14:24, 7 July 2008 (UTC) See this edit: http://nl.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Overleg_gebruiker%3APjetter&diff=98191&oldid=98138 Londenp (talk) 14:25, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ &mdash; <b style="color:#309;">Mike.lifeguard</b> &#124; talk 03:29, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Priyanath foo → Priyanath

 * Reason: I have Priyanath as my merged/unified username on six wikis, including my home at en.wikipedia.org. I would like to usurp the name Priyanath here - it has one edit and seems inactive.

diff from en.wikipedia.org Thank you, Priyanath foo (talk) 22:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ - You will need to have your global account deleted if you want to rename Priyanath foo &rarr; Priyanath, however as it has only one edit, it is perhaps not worth it. If you want to rename that one so you can have it merged with your others, let us know when the global account is deleted here please. &mdash; <b style="color:#309;">Mike.lifeguard</b> &#124; talk 03:34, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I just created Priyanath foo as a temporary account to make this request - I couldn't think of any other way to avoid leaving my IP address for people to see. So, it looks like I'm all set, and my Unified Login is working, thanks! Priyanath (talk) 03:42, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Grand M → Grandmaster

 * Reason: I'm w:User:Grandmaster on en:wiki, commons, meta, source and other wikis. I would like to usurp the same username here, as it has 0 edits. Grand M (talk) 05:30, 9 July 2008 (UTC).
 * ✅. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 20:25, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. --Grandmaster (talk) 06:43, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Reason: To unified ID, and also I belive it's mine last time, but forgot password. Main user at ms:user:Yosri ms wiki. Md yosri (talk) 12:23, 10 July 2008 (UTC).
 * ✅ &mdash; <b style="color:#309;">Mike.lifeguard</b> &#124; talk 23:33, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Glacier Wolf → LeiaY

 * Reason: Less gender confusion with this name. I'm renaming all my accounts to LeiaY so there are no SUL issues. Besides, it appears that my current username scares people. Go figure. :/ <font face='verdana'><font color='#084C9E'>Gl <font color='#4682b4'>ac <font color='#6495ED'>ier <font color='#4682b4'>Wo <font color='#084C9E'>lf   02:54, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Reason: Hello, I am w:bg:User:Maymay (verify) and I'd like to request usurpation of the local account User:Maymay for the sake of successful  SUL.
