Wikibooks:Requests for renaming/2010/September

None here (SUL purpose) → Autarch
Objectivist
 * Reason: I am Autarch on English Wikipedia and seven other related sites. I have several thousand edits, mostly on the English Wikipedia. I want to unify my SUL account. There seems to be an account in the name Autarch dating from 19 April 2006, but no edits have been done by that account. My confirmation is here -> .86.43.120.173 (talk) 22:10, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Yes_check.svg|15px| ]] Usurped. You may now login here and visit Special:MergeAccount to unify. – Adrignola talk 01:04, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

GoRight2 → GoRight

 * Reason: I am trying to unify my logins across Wikimedia projects. My home wiki will be selected by the merge tool as English Wikipedia based on my edit count but I am a banned user there.  I have gotten special permission to be unblocked for 24 hours to perform the unification.  See discussion here. Yesterday I went around and created what I thought were all of the accounts to prevent someone from causing mischief but apparently I forgot Wikibooks because today someone other than me created an account with the name GoRight on this site.  This is blocking my attempt to create a unified login using the merge tool.  I wish to usurp the GoRight account on this wiki which was created only hours ago and currently has no edits so that I can unify my login.  Please be aware that time is short on this request since I will be reblocked quickly on English Wikipedia. GoRight2 (talk) 15:32, 17 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I consent to this usurpation. GoRight (talk) 15:53, 17 September 2010 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Yes_check.svg|15px| ]] Done. GoRight has been usurped and GoRight2 has been renamed to GoRight. You can merge at Special:MergeAccount. – Adrignola talk 17:00, 17 September 2010 (UTC)


 * All went well. Thanks for your assistance.  --GoRight (talk) 19:24, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Two Objectivists
In looking at the Unified Account Login the other day I discovered that I have accounts at these WikiMedia sites, as "Objectivist": * en.wikipedia.org * en.wikisource.org * en.wikiversity.org * meta.wikimedia.org * simple.wikipedia.org * wikisource.org

And I believe that is correct. However, it appears someone else uses the name here: * en.wikibooks.org since I don't recall ever using the wikibooks site. Please note I'm writing this while not logged in, since I can't log into wikibooks as "Objectivist", and it just seems simpler than picking a temporary username only to do this.

I'd like to politely ask the wikibooks "Objectivist" to consider choosing a new username (a name that that person could then use all across WikiMedia). I don't need to be insistent about that, however. After all, since I don't recall using wikibooks in the past, it may be that I wouldn't need to access it in the future, and so there need be no conflict. But does the other person want to be restricted to using that name only at wikibooks? Over at this page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Usurpation it can be seen that such a restriction would be enforced.

 * Ummm....??? What exactly was "fixed"? Did someone misinterpret what I was talking about?  I like the username "Objectivist" and want to keep it, and had written above to indicate that there appeared to be two people using that name, of which one, myself, HAD been associated with six different WikiMedia sites.  Now I can't log in!  (Am I supposed to use the name "Two Objectivists" now???  That's NOT what I was requesting, at all!!!)  Note that due to using dial-up to access the Internet, my IP4 address tends to vary in its last byte.  "Objectivist" 208.103.154.178 (talk) 23:30, 22 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I've usurped the "Objectivist" account since it had no edits. You should now be able to log in and unify your accounts at Special:MergeAccount. – Adrignola talk 00:51, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, thank you. My normal log-in to WikiPedia worked fine a few minutes ago, and when I opened this page from a link, it shows me logged in here, also, when previously when I was at this wikibooks page, it did not show that.  Thank you! Objectivist (talk) 03:19, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I-20 was trying to fix the formatting of your post, FYI. Kayau (talk &#124; email &#124; contribs) 05:18, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

I-20 → Frozen Wind

 * Reason: Disappearing from enwiki (and have global login), and this account's password is not to be changed. — I-20 the highway  21:09, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * And yes, this *is* serious. — I-20 the highway  21:10, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * My old global account is locked -- I won't be able to use Wikibooks until this account is renamed. 24.178.137.65 (talk) 23:28, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Locked, eh? Guess you are serious.  [[Image:Yes_check.svg|15px| ]] Done.  Please visit Special:MergeAccount. – Adrignola talk 01:20, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
