Thuriaux
w:en:Thuriaux – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
I have the "Thuriaux" account on the English wikipedia. I would like to merge accounts across wikipedia to upload a file to wikicommons. However, someone already has a "Thuriaux" account on the french wikipedia site so I cannot merge accounts. Can I get the English language account renamed to "thuriaux.ben"
Thanks,

- You can request renaming on en.wp on en:WP:CHUS.
- However, since the local account with the most edits always is able to create the global account, if it doesn't exist yet, and since Thuriaux@enwiki has 110 edits at the moment, and Thuriaux@frwiki 116 (and the last one was in 2007), you (Thuriaux@enwiki) can just make 7 more edits and then go to en:Special:Mergeaccount to create the global account. --MF-W 11:06, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
- I am happy to do the English Wikipedia rename; you can leave a note here if you still want it. Thanks. MBisanz talk 03:33, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Not done No response. MBisanz talk 19:24, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
Titanous
- Titanous (talk • meta edits • global user summary • CA)
I would like to usurp or delete the SUL account Titanous, so that I can use it. enwiki denied my rename request because the SUL account exists, so I'm here to sort out if it's possible to replace/remove the global account. Thanks! Jon335 (talk) 16:36, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not done, there are multiple local accounts and the account has been used to contribute. Please choose a different name. Savhñ 17:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
Nataraj
I want to usurp the following accounts
- w:en:Nataraj – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
Current Nataraj at en.wikipedia seems not to edit anything at all, and I sometimes do minor fixes mostly fixing links in IT related articles and so on. I'd like to do it under the same username I use in Russian Wikipedia, and in all Wiktionaries, if possible. --Nataraj (talk) 09:06, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not done You will need to file a request at w:en:WP:CHU. --Rschen7754 09:35, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
Apn

In order to complete my account unification process I want to usurp Apn accounts on: bg, da, et, fi, it & pl. Thanks Apn (talk) 22:10, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, all these projects have their own active bureaucrats. You need to ask locally - see Index of pages where renaming can be requested. QuiteUnusual (talk) 08:37, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- bgwikiquote is not referred on Index of pages where renaming can be requested... How can I proceed ? Apn (talk) 17:28, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- The projects you listed were all Wikipedias, so I assumed those were the projects you needed renaming on. If there are other projects that don't have active bureaucrats, we can do those. QuiteUnusual (talk) 17:41, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- There is no active 'crat on bg.wikiquote, so I've done that one for you. QuiteUnusual (talk) 17:44, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you very much ! I'll now proceed with other wikipedia countries thanks to your link. Best Regards, Apn (talk) 21:12, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- Done for w:da :-). Note that your link does not mention etwiki, is it possible to perform the same operation as the one you did for bgwikiquote ? Thanks, Apn (talk) 21:19, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- fi & pl ongoing. Remaining: et & it. Apn (talk) 07:28, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Dsimic
In order to complete my login unification, I'd like to usurp the following account:
- w:ja:Dsimic – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
This account on jawiki seems to be pretty much inactive, so renaming it might be acceptable. Also, as far as I can see, jawiki has no local bureaucrats, so this should be the place for such requests.
Please advise. Thank you. — Dsimic (talk) 23:07, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- The account on jawiki has 62 edits, and has edited less than 3 months ago. Even though this might be handled automatically by global SUL finalisation, I don't think it should be usurped yet. Savhñ 23:21, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- Makes sense, thank you. Would it be appropriate for me to talk directly to the jawiki editor regarding the renaming? — Dsimic (talk) 23:28, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- It would, he could possibly agree to a more convenient name, to which he should request renaming. Again, because of SUL finalisation, he might want a free global account. Savhñ 23:36, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks, I'll reach out to the jawiki editor; will describe the global accounts and SUL finalisation, of course. — Dsimic (talk) 23:40, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- Done. Now, waiting for a reply. — Dsimic (talk) 00:01, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Milan2009
w:en:Milan2009 – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
- Delete empty global account following local usurp. Thanks, –xeno 02:29, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Done? It was either done automatically or didn't log it when I deleted it. Ajraddatz (Talk) 02:34, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
Shonagon
- w:en:Shonagon – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
Hello. I would like to complete my SUL but I miss on account on WP[en], where there is a Shonagon with no contributions. Others users told me to ask here for this request. I hope that it can be done. Thanks --Shonagon (talk) 01:39, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- There are bureaucrats on the English Wikipedia who can do that at en:Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations. Stewards don't handle requests where there are active bureaucrats. Techman224Talk 01:52, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the answer. I have made the request at en:Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations. --Shonagon (talk) 02:44, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

- Please delete this global account with zero edits in order to facilitate a local usurpation on eswiki. Thanks in advance, LlamaAl (talk) 02:52, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
JohnLewis
w:en:JohnLewis – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
Delete empty global account following local usurp. Thanks, –xeno 13:42, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
- Strange. I get an error: Error: the global account "JohnLewis" does not exist. There was an account left on wikidata, unattached. Maybe that's why? Trijnsteltalk 13:54, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
- And now the global account is apparantly deleted. It says: There is no global account for "JohnLewis" - there must've gone something wrong. Trijnsteltalk 13:58, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Done, I guess. And the fix has been deployed by Hoo man so that any future deletions will be logged from now on. Trijnsteltalk 15:23, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Faizan
I wish to usurp the account "Faizan" at Hindi Wikipedia. It is the only wiki that is left after which I would have a unified log in on all wikis. I have failed to find the bureaucrats of Hindi Wikipedia. I have searched the index too, but could not find the Hindi wiki there. Here's the confirmation link.
- wiki:hi:Faizan – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp -- Faizan 16:55, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
- The user on hiwiki has no edits and the account was created in 2008. I have renamed it to Faizan (usurped), so you should now be able to create that account for your SUL. Ajraddatz (Talk) 17:05, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Cimbail
I want to usurp the following accounts
- m:meta:Cimbail – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
Note: I am de:Cimbail, active in de:Wikipedia and sometimes in other projects. I just realized that automatic (and manual) login for Meta doesn't work. The current meta-user:Cimbail was created in October 2010, and I am absolutely sure that I created it. Unfortunately, by lack of personal competence or technical failure at the Internet café, something went wrong. There is no e-mail address registered, and none of my passwords work. As there are no edits beside the creation of the account, I suggest to bomb it away, or to merge it manually with my de:wp identity (preserving my German login settings). Thanks, --80.187.111.111 15:24, 18 March 2014 (UTC) / de:Cimbail de:Talk to Cimbail
- There was at one point issues with accounts becoming unattached at random. I suggest you contact Meta-wiki's bureaucrats at Meta:Changing username to usurp that account. Snowolf How can I help? 15:27, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
- Lightning fast, thank you. I will post my request there, and you may close here. Thank you: Cimbail. --80.187.111.111 15:32, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Inkblots
w:en:Inkblots – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp
- Delete empty global account following local usurp. Thanks, –xeno 20:54, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
- Done. Ajraddatz (talk) 20:59, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
- I have had my en-wiki account renamed to inkblots but unfortunately all of the other wikis have not. I would like to have a SUL like I did previously with this username. Do I have to request this separately? Mag'ladroth the C'tan (talk) 23:50, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- You can visit en:Special:Mergeaccount (logged in as Inkblots obviously) to achieve that. --MF-W 23:57, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Tiago Dias
I would like the following accounts to be renamed so I can complete my unification process.
I am aware there are bureaucrats in both of these wikis, but I have made a request in the proper pages 1 week ago and they haven't been answered yet. There are requests older than mine still waiting for a reply.
Both of the accounts have 0 edits.

--Tiago Dias (talk) 10:59, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
- Both projects have active bureaucrats, who will attend those requests. Consider leaving a note on the bureaucrats' talkpage if he doesn't react. Savhñ 11:17, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
Aniol
I want to usurp the following accounts
- w:de:Aniol – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp Not done
- w:en:Aniol – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp Not done
- w:es:Aniol – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp Not done
- w:pl:Aniol – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp Not done
- wikt:pl:Aniol – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp Done
I have the "Aniol" account in most of Wikimedia websites, and I'm frequently active in Wikimedia Commons or Catalan Wikipedia. I would like to merge accounts across wikipedia and other projects. But I have found errors with the Login unification in the Wikipedias that I cited before in this petition of usurpation. --Aniol (talk) 14:06, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
- Done on plwiktionary. All other projects have active local bureaucrats. Please, ask them. Ruslik (talk) 15:50, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
Anup
I wish to usurp following local accounts with no bureaucrats for the purpose of SUL unification. My username "IndianWikipedian" was recently renamed to "user:Anup" at home wiki (confirmation link).

Ajraddatz (Talk) 14:14, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hello Ajraddatz- May I have a link to the specific page where I can place a request for the usurpation at mr:wiki? RENAMELINKS is not helpful in this case. If no central location, I'm not sure how to find a bureaucrat in languages, I'm not aware of. IndianWikipedian (talk) 15:44, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- On mr:Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat, both users are currently active. I'm not sure what the local rename page is, but you could try directly asking one of them on their talk page. Ajraddatz (Talk) 15:50, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks a ton! IndianWikipedian (talk) 16:21, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
