Wikibooks:Requests for renaming/2009/February

Gb in waiting → Gb

 * Reason: SUL - I am Gb on en.wikipedia.org, and am looking to unify my logins across the various projects. I will post a message on to confirm that I am making this request. Gb in waiting (talk) 00:05, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Request for Usurpation for Arch dude
Hi there.

I'm w:User:Arch dude at Wikipedia. I activated my SUL some time ago and became Arch dude on all sites except en.wikibooks.org, where someone already had this user name: User:Arch dude.

Upon investigation, I discovered that this is an account that I had established in 2006, but I have forgotten my password. Furthermore, the email account that I used back then is defunct, and I might not have even attached an e-mail address to the account anyway.

If you need evidence other than my assertion that this is me, please e-mail me using my Wikipedia account: w:User:Arch dude.

If you prefer to use internal evidence, you should be able to cross-check the edit histories of my WP account and the wikibooks account: I'm fairly sure I did minor copyedits to the WP blender article at about the time I was copyediting the wikibook, and I'm fairly sure the (few) other wikibook edits were in conjunction with WP edits also. (Note: I have more than 13,000 edits at wikipedia, so you might want to start at the beginning rather than the end. Alternatively, I can do the cross-check and post links if needed.)

Thanks. (unsigned, for obvious reasons.)


 * Looks fine to me (most of the edits are actually import-related). Confirming on wp talk page. -- SB_Johnny  talk 12:08, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Confirmed, and ✅ -- SB_Johnny  talk 13:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Without volunteers such as yourself to do the administrative work, these sites could not function. -Arch dude (talk) 13:37, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Cysaki → BronzeDragonet

 * Reason: Don't generally use the Name Cysaki, and I'm currently trying to consolidate all my Usernames to one or two so that I don't have to remember 10 different names. Cysaki (talk) 23:03, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Request renaming or usurpation
Hello. I'm w:User:Mardus and my primary account is at en.wiki. Long ago on Wikibooks I created an account, where I made only one edit on Lepidoptera, while also editing a Lepidoptera article on en.wiki. Diff proving that here. I may or may not have specified an e-mail address or left an e-mail address with a spam-avoiding domain prefix or one for an account that's not active anymore. Since then I've forgotten my password to the Wikibooks account. It would be ideal if I got a password sent to me through my en.wiki account's e-mail address. If that's not possible, then I'd like to recreate the Wikibooks account with the same name. 13:53, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds reasonable to me, but let's do four-eyes and wait for another 'crat. &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 18:23, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 'crat = bureaucrat?
 * I was actually considering account consolidation in the end, but haven't decided yet anyway. 19:38, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, of course you should unify your accounts. Give it a try and let us know whether you can or cannot attach this account to the global account. &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 19:43, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * When unifying accounts, three could not be unified. A report here details the status of the three, so I'm requesting usurpation for my username on en.wikibooks, fr.wiki and sl.wiki. Would I nevertheless have to request usurpation separately for fr.wiki and sl.wiki? 20:45, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, Yes_check.svg Done this one. Requests for frwiki and slwiki should be placed at w:fr:Wikipédia:Demande de renommage de compte utilisateur/Usurpation and w:sl:Wikipedija:Sprememba uporabniškega imena/Prevzemi respectively. &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 21:16, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Your account here should be automatically created here (& attached to the global one) when you visit English Wikibooks after being logged in on your home wiki. If that doesn't occur, let us know. &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 21:17, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Many thanks. The unified login seems to have worked and I'll check fr. & sl. editions' usurpation mechanisms out later on. -Mardus (talk) 21:02, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
