Wikibooks:Requests for renaming/2008/June

Usurpation of account Annabel
Hi, I am nl:User:Annabel (userlist) and I'd like to remove all username conflicts in order to progress with SUL. Therefore, I'd like to have the existing account Annabel (no edits) to be usurped. For a confirmation, please have a look at my talk page on meta.

157.193.1.115 (talk) 19:42, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

PS: I am doing this request anonymously, because it would require some more work in renaming (and this can not be done to date, as Annabel is already registered: see and ).


 * ✅ish. I am leaving instructions on how to complete this process on your nl.wikipedia user talk page. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 23:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Usurpation User:Sk
Hello, I'm active Russian Wikipedia User Sk (confirmation), and I like usurp account User:Sk here, with zero edits. I register global SUL account Sk. Can you rename this user? Thanks. --Sk-ru (talk) 21:40, 31 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I've moved the original Sk out of the way, but your current Sk-ru username has attempted unification already and the move to Sk cannot complete. You need to request from a Steward to back out your unification, let us complete this, and then unify. Thanks. -within focus 15:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Did it. 69.86.169.166 (talk) 14:10, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to bother with this, but could any bureaucrat rename my account from Jota to Jorge Morais? It is the name I use in other projects now (in fact, my real name). It is also for the SUL. - Jota (talk) 14:04, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, it's been almost a month. Should I make the request somewere else? Is anything else needed? Or should I ask directly to a bureaucrat? - Jota (talk) 15:30, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅. I have sent a confirmation email. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 14:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Username usurpation
Hi. I'm a sysop on ru:wiki and ru:wikiquote. I would like to have the User:Solon account usurped for SUL purposes. May I ask to rename this account to free username "Solon" for me? I found out this user have no edits or log entries (see Special:Contributions/Solon). Thanks. 89.163.42.109 (talk) 19:40, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry for my impatience. There are any difficulties? 89.163.42.109 (talk) 08:47, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Unless I'm going crazy, that username is available so you should be able to just sign up with it and not have to usurp. I at least didn't see any contributions, if the user exists but theres no contribs we'll need you to make edits on the pages you linked to confirming your request (and signing with your actual username, not an anon). Post the diffs here. Regards, Mattb112885 (talk to me) 23:01, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comment, Mattb112885. I know nothing about your mental health, but if you take a look at this page, your doubts can be resolved. This user really exists here and has no edits. It's not mine and I'm not able to login with this username, of course. Because I don't know it's password.
 * I'm sorry. Maybe I don't understand you well. What kind of diff you want from me? What information I need confirm? I haven't account here. User Solon at en-wikibooks is not mine account, as I say before. But it's my regular username in many other Wikimedia Foundation projects (e.g. Russian Wikipedia where I have sysop access, Russian Wikiquote where I'm Bureaucrat, meta-Wiki and a lot of others.) And I simply ask to this unused account be renamed to free this username to it can be joined to my SUL account.
 * And would be great for me to hear Bureaucrat's opinion on this subject after all. 89.163.42.109 (talk) 17:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry I was wrong about the username here. I don't think there will be a problem with doing the SUL, but to start the process you will need to log in to your Russian Wikipedia account (I think that should be sufficient since you're an admin there) and write a message on your talk page that says something to the effect of "yes I am really requesting SUL for this account", and link to the diff here. That's just necessary to prove your identity. A bureaucrat can take it from there. Regards, Mattb112885 (talk to me) 23:11, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


 * ✅ish. I will send further instructions to your ru.wikipedia talk page. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 14:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Problem with my global account
