Hi, I'm based in pt.wikipedia.org with the account name Sara©SF. Can anyone tell me what to do here so I can unify the accounts into the name Sara©SF? Tryed goint to a bureaucrat but got no answer... Thanks. Saracsoares (talk) 03:38, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Since you own both accounts, you should be able to merge them using Special:MergeAccount. If you don't own Sara(C)SF, you will not be able to, since Sara(C)SF has made edits here. For more information, please see Unified login. Cheers! &mdash; madman bum and angel 03:51, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Permission for the use of © in unification of user name
That is... wierd. I don't see an existing account under that name. Try creating a new account with your normal name. If it errors out, let us know what that error is. Depending on what the error is there might be away to get around it. --J.smith (talk) 18:03, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello J.smith, I have decided to our talk here so you can have a direct link to my account in the signature: Sara©SF (talk) 15:45, 20 August 2009 (UTC) This is my user name in pt.wikipedia and en.wikipedia. I had a diferent user name and changed to this one, so now I'm having a lot of trouble because my account is no longer automaticaly unified. Further more, when I try to sign in with my name Sara©SF, as it happend in Commons, I get the message of invalid caracters "©®". I had this problem before and asked a portuguese admin to help. It's a big loss of time to be all the time loggin in and out from one account to another. Please answer in my talk page so I can see it faster. Thanks. Sara©SF (talk) 15:45, 20 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I understand it's a quandary... It sounds like special characters were disallowed in one of the more recent updates to the Media-wiki software. I think there are two ways to resolve this issue. The first you might not like too much... you could rename all of your accounts with the "©" into something without the "©". That would certainly work.  Another possibility would be to request a name-change at the 'crat noticeboard over at commons. That may or may not work. -J.S  (T/C/WRE) 02:44, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
