Simple rename requests
Avaghahremanifar
Status: Done
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (stewardry • list 'crats)
- Old Username: Avaghahremanifar (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • CentralAuth • GlobalRenameUser)
- New Username: Aesuithiel (talk • edits • logs • cross-wiki-contribs • userpages • similar names • UV • CentralAuth)
- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: (I would rather work anonymously.)
- {{notdone}} Handled elsewhere. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 12:43, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi 1997kB, I do not understand why the change I asked for, was not done. Instead, a change I did not ask for is done! What is FelisObscura? I never asked for that, and I guess it's pretty obvious. FelisObscura (talk) 19:18, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hey, My Apologies as this seems to be a error. Let's wait for the renamer who handled that and I'll process this request. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:51, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks! FelisObscura (talk) 19:24, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: Lately, some people in Turkish Wikipedia started to text me out of Wikipedia by finding me from my username (even some harrased me :^)). I don't want that to be happening, so i want to change my name from my actual name to a nickname. But i made a nickname change just consisting a letter capitilization. Thank you in advance.

- Hello @Skitof: User name Krzysztof lechowski is used. Can you please choose another username?--Turkmen talk 19:45, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: When I was trying to register using the name "SkEy". It said there had already been a similar user ("Skey") and my registration was rejected. But when I checked it out I found the user had only 13 edits long time ago, and had no edits since 2008. Otherwise, SkEy is my first and only English name, which I made up of my real name, so I would like to rename. Thank you!

- Hello @Hamish: Does this username comply with your local policy? I can change it if it fits.--Turkmen talk 18:55, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user

- Reason: The user Kutay (or Kutay~trwiki) has done some contributions only in French Wikipedia, and the latest was back in 2014. And his name was changed back in 2015. Because of the capital T, i can't login without entering it capitally, and users work extra for pinging me. Plus, i want a shorter and simpler name.

- Previous renames: current user, target user. Queue: open req, closed req
- Stewards/Global renamers: usurp user, rename user
- Reason: All these "old" accounts (Troodon~enwiki, Troodon~rowiki, Troodon~ruwiki, Troodon~frwiki) got autorenamed when SUL was implemented. My oldest account was in ES and the "new" SUL account is based on ES. All the accounts were registered with the same email address. I would like the edits of all these "old" accounts to be merged in the new SUL account.
- @Troodon: As the banner on the top of page says, merging accounts is not possible. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 10:37, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- However we could locally rename some accounts in order and have the user merge them later if Toodon is able to prove ownership of the ~xxx accounts. If they're all registered to the same email address and he can log in to them, maybe we can do something. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 16:01, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- @1997kB: @MarcoAurelio: Before adding my request here I asked on #wikipedia-en-help and #wikimedia-stewards whether a merge would be possible, and I was told this was the right place to ask for it. I also was told that accounts registered with the same email address should have been automatically merged, but in my case this didn't happen. Also, here at top there is a small section about "SUL finalization" :-). So, if it's possible please tell me how to proceed, and how to prove the ownership of the said accounts. Thanks :-) --Troodon (talk) 18:43, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- However we could locally rename some accounts in order and have the user merge them later if Toodon is able to prove ownership of the ~xxx accounts. If they're all registered to the same email address and he can log in to them, maybe we can do something. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 16:01, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

- Thanks for the ping. I am checking with fellow stewards before doing the local renames to check if there are any issues I am not aware of before doing any of the local renames. Thanks. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 09:09, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Troodon: Accounts at en, fr, ro and ru wikis should be available to unify now. Please access Special:MergeAccount and reply back to us with the result. Thanks! —MarcoAurelio (talk) 17:34, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- @1997kB: @MarcoAurelio: It seems that all four accounts got properly merged. A big thank you to you both for processing & solving my request so fast & kindly :-) --Troodon (talk) 22:54, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Troodon: Hold on we still need you. @MarcoAurelio: I think it best to merge these with ~en/~ro/~ru accounts so that we have no unattached account. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 02:50, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Troodon: Por favor inicia sesión ahora con Troodon~enwiki, Troodon~rowiki y Troodon~ruwiki y accede con cada una de ellas a Special:MergeAccount para que podamos finalizar, esta vez ya s��, todo el proceso. Gracias. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 18:11, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
- @1997kB: @MarcoAurelio: Done. Thank you for your help! Is it possible to delete these Troodon~XXwiki accounts or they must be kept? --Troodon (talk) 10:45, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Troodon: Thanks. All should be done now. And to answer your question: accounts cannot be deleted once created. Regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 11:01, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
