Wikinews:Changing username/Archive 4

Null → Echo[edit]

Current name: Null (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Echo (SUL reports: old & new) (rename user)
Reason: Please rename Echo to "make space" for a global renaming of this account Hurricanefan25. Thanks! Hurricanefan25 (talk) 22:15, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not done as 'Null' is not registered on enwikinews (See SUL reports). Past practice has been to rename a "desired" username to "desired_usurped". And, as-stated at the top of the page, a confirming edit on the home wiki with the account which is to be renamed is required before any renaming will take place. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 09:23, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Terence Ong → Terence[edit]

Current name: Terence Ong (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Terence (SUL reports: old & new) (rename user)
Reason: I am w:en:User:Terence on English Wikipedia and I would like to usurp the inactive username on this wiki as I want to create a SUL account. Thanks. Terence Ong (talk) 17:10, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The large 'retired' notice is a little confusing; in any case, can you make a confirming edit on enWP and link to diff of such here please?--Brian McNeil / ^talk 11:08, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Have made a confirming edit here. Terence Ong (talk) 08:52, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mikhail Castelein → Numbakoe[edit]

Current name: Mikhail Castelein (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Numbakoe (SUL reports: old & new) (rename user)
Reason: I would like to change my username in Numbakoe. It's already changed in many other languages of Wikipedia. All names 'Numbakoe' in other languages are my accounts. To prove, most of them are still linked to my old account (cfr. Usertalk pages) and are recentley changed. Thanks in advance. Mikhail Castelein (talk) 19:44, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"To prove, most of them are still linked to my old account (cfr. Usertalk pages) and are recentley changed." I'm afraid I don't understand this, and because it relates to proof it seems rather critical to your request. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 19:04, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Current name: Andre Kloer (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Watisfictie (SUL reports: old & new) (rename user)
Reason: I would like to have my real name removed from Google listings. Watisfictie is the name I use within other Wikipedia projects as well (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Watisfictie&diff=cur&oldid=498811148 ) --Watisfictie (talk) 10:52, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Parameter 1 in the template is not filled in; it is thus impossible to ascertain which username you expect renamed to Barrister. It is likely you need to search for the meta pages on SUL and account unification. Some older accounts do not auto-populate across multiple wikis and running some of the relevant scripts, then logging out and back in again may resolve issues you are seeing. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 13:41, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Two of six wikies have renamed old users Barrister on smth else without any questions, two of them are considering my requests and they will fulfill my request and this is only one site where you can't do this, so what the reason?--95.69.206.48 (talk) 20:10, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because you're asking for user "None/Blank" to be renamed to "Barrister".

File a competent request, please. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 06:10, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay. I have just filled the request by the examples on another wikies.--95.69.206.48 (talk) 08:33, 17 August 2012 (UTC)][reply]

Look at this again, please --95.69.206.48 (talk) 12:11, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One assumes the non-mangled confirmation link is supposed to be this, as-opposed to an explosion in a statistician's office. I hope to gawd you're nor referring to this dictionary definition with the username. Bad handwriting may-well go with the profession, but excellent spelling and grammar are prerequisites. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 16:13, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done, but why request renaming on a project where you didn't have any edit history? The only edit that got moved over to the new name was the edit you made here to request renaming. --Pi zero (talk) 15:28, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done User:William hasn't made a single edit on this project, so there's really nothing to rename; while, on the other hand, User:WilliamUK already has an edit here, namely this request. --Pi zero (talk) 17:25, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You don't understand. I own the SUL for William, home wiki de.wiktionary. I am using WilliamUK so that I can request the Williams who aren't me on other projects are moved out the way; specifically I am using WilliamUK so that I don't have to edit logged out. I am not requesting User:William here be renamed to User:WilliamUK. WilliamUK (talk) 18:26, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

IndianWikipedian → Anup[edit]

Current name: IndianWikipedian (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
Requested name: Anup (SUL reports: old & new) (rename user)
Reason: My username IndianWikipedian was recently renamed to user:Anup and SUL unified with the same. I'm requesting usurpation of user:Anup for the purpose of SUL unification. I made a failed attempt to login the requesting username IndianWikipedian, therefore requesting the same using my legit alternative account Anupmehra. Thank you! Anupmehra (talk) 12:07, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done I have renamed the unattached account "Anup" to "Anup (usurped)". To my understanding of the situation, that should allow you to expand your "Anup" SUL into en.wn.

You should use account Anup to put a {{doppelganger}} template on User:Anupmehra. --Pi zero (talk) 13:31, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
