Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations/Completed/12

EleosPrime → Eleos
I made this request for the first time in May of 2007. The user:Eleos made two edits to the sandbox, and has done nothing since. The original request for usurpation was denied based on two edits in the sandbox. I am asking that the request be revisited. Thank you.

 * Nope, that is not me.  EleosPrime  13:59, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ - The edits to this project are not problematic. That said, normally I would have declined a request where there is a user on another project with 90 edits, as they have a prior claim to the global name. However, on review of their edits, I see they were all to one article and introduced a copyvio. They were then resulted. As these cannot have GFDL significance, I will perform this rename.

Prom3th3an → Promethean

 * Usurpation is a courtesy we extend to users in good standing, which Prom3th3an is not. He has a history of selectively editing his history here to hide the fact that he has fomented a large number of disputes - e.g, he is a troll. This request is denied. Raul654 (talk) 01:10, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * "Editing his history" - sorry Raul, that is not true, he has never deleted any of his edits (he can't - he's not an admin). You have recently been in a dispute with him, and you have made very clear your desire to get him off Wikipedia. You rarely edit this page, so to me it looks like you are following Prom around, trying to bait him. DuncanHill (talk) 01:14, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm a bureaucrat, this page has been on my watchlist for years. I don't edit it often, but that doesn't mean I don't see what goes on here.
 * As for selectively wiping his history, I'm talking about edits like this and this wherein he deletes all negative commentary of him, thus making it more difficult to keep track of the (numerous) times he has fomented problems. Raul654 (talk) 01:17, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Editors are entitled to remove anything they like from their talk pages, as I am sure you are well aware. It is a practice engaged in by some of our most notable admins. DuncanHill (talk) 01:19, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The fact that we don't block people for "interesting" ways of archiving doesn't mean it can't be used as evidence of their desire to hide all the drama and disruption they cause. Raul654 (talk) 01:22, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * "we prefer only to grant requests from reasonably well-established users". Your deny is not a valid reason per policy. If 6000+ edits does not make me established what does? Also if you want me to put the insult back on my userpage i will, i did it out of courtesy for you. Also im not hiding, if i was i would make a new account (quite easy to do). Also thier is a tab called "history". I am sorry for my remark, i have stated that numerious times. Im trying to move and to get back  to what we are here to do, I would hope you do the same, This is not the place to hang out the dirty laundry.   « l | Ψrom3th3ăn ™ | l »   (talk) 01:51, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I said you were not a user in good standing - the fact that you barely avoided being community banned 2 days ago is pretty conclusive evidence of this. We do not extend the courtesy of renames and usurpations to users who are not in good standing, your own wikilawyering to the contrary not withstanding. Raul654 (talk) 03:56, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The vast majority voted against the ban, one user labelled it wiki drama and most said it was pre-mature. So if I propose a ban agaisnt you and it gets knocked back overwhelmingly, does that mean you no longer in good standing? thats what you imply. The blocks were very "Very minor disruption" (Ryanposs said that, one of the blocking admins) Also the words quoted are from the top of the page not you. So, your own un-written rules aside, there is no written rule that is stopping me from usurping, just your biased POV in an attempt to use punitive measures against me because I said something you didnt like and something I regret.  « l | Ψrom3th3ăn ™ | l »   (talk) 04:47, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The fact that some people felt that it was premature to permanently ban you most certainly does not make you an editor in good standing. The facts are that you have, on numerous occasions, made personal attacks on other users, and disrupted wikipedia - that is why you are not an editor in good standing. The fact that there was substantial support (albeit not a majority) to ban you speaks for itself. There are consequences to your actions. Raul654 (talk) 05:02, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * User_talk:JzG - Are you sure your watching usurp and not just me?
 * 1/5th support is not substantial, its marginal by definition.
 * In your opinion im not in good standing.
 * Strikin a remark that was borderline iffy (time for one less admin) on arbcom is very very minor and was not ill intentioned.
 * another arbcome remark full of baseless accusations and ill faith remarks. Again in good faith.
 * a ANI thread asking another admin to take over because it would be un-acceptable for him to make any adminly decisions re: me. Kind of like the situation your in.
 * was an admin's mistake and was quickly reverted. 2 other admins said that it was wrong.  « l | Ψrom3th3ăn ™ | l »   (talk) 05:29, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * was for making an ANI thread about the above admin's block and another remark he made.

Again all low level stuff. So, whats your interest in all this? Why are you so persistent? Why do we not change username on editors in good standing, to punish the others? In 7000 edits, a handful are iffy, does that outway all the good?  « l | Ψrom3th3ăn ™ | l »   (talk) 05:29, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

This is an absolute farce - I can't believe what I'm seeing up above. Raul, you are clearly the wrong person to be making this sort of judgement call, especially for such a minor rename which would not make identifying Prom difficult at all. This request should not be denied at all, he has two blocks for minor infringements and the ban discussion failed quite strongly just a few days ago. Prom is still an editor in good standing here, up until the point he's banned or placed under some community restrictions, neither of which have occurred thus far and I doubt will occur in the near future. I'm going to take on an informal mentoring role with Prom and I suspect we won't see any further minor problems we've seen in the past. I urge another crat to come and show some sense here and override this clearly wrong decision.  Ryan Postlethwaite See the mess I've created or let's have banter 09:16, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I think I agree with Ryan. I advise Raul as a Wikipedian to a Wikipedian to step away from this particular request. Considering that you were involved in a dispute with Prom, it seems that an impartial bureaucrat should at least give a second opinion. I also think that this discussion should be held on WT:USURP, or at another forum deemed appropriate; having an overly long discussion here merely clogs up a page that is heavily trafficked anyway. &mdash; Anonymous Dissident  Talk 09:51, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * not done but on different grounds to Raul654. Although the edits made to this project do not preclude usurpation in my view, I note that an account with this name has made 30 edits to dewiki. That account is the "home wiki" for the global name Promethean and thus the operator of that account has the best claim to usurp the name here. I do not think it is acceptable for enwiki users to ask bureaucrats to help them get into positions where they have superior claims to global accounts than the editor at the current home wiki, nor do I think creating new SUL conflicts at this stage is a good idea. See this archived discussion from July. WJBscribe (talk) 10:16, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yup, that seems fair.  Ryan Postlethwaite See the mess I've created or let's have banter 10:18, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Note the last date for edit from that account, it is clearly innactive. I also own Promethean on Meta and commons as of earlier today  « l | Ψrom3th3ăn ™ | l »   (talk) 10:21, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It may be inactive, but it has edits and the best claim to the global name. I defer to a dewiki bureaucrat to determine whether it is appropriate for you to take over the name on dewiki. WJBscribe (talk) 10:27, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * User:Promethean (my account) is on simple wikipedia is now the home wiki of the SUL name Promethean. I now have best claim.  « l | Ψrom3th3ăn ™ | l »   (talk) 11:47, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Strike my objection to this request - I will reconsider my opinion based on the change in the global situation. WJBscribe (talk) 11:52, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * On reflecting about the issues raised by this request, I believe it should be performed. Now that the account has been unified, Prom3th3an is the owner of this name globally. It would not be appropriate to allow anyone else to usurp the name on this project. There is some merit to Raul654's logic - we don't allow usurpation by very new accounts so good use is made of the names, therefore to allow an account likely to be indefinitely blocked in the near future would be a waste. That said, assuming that a user with some conduct issues will inevitably be banned at a later date seems totally contrary to the principle that we assume good faith, which much presumably extend to the possibility of reform. A recent discussion found no consensus to ban Prom3th3an, suggesting that the community is of the impression his misconduct has either not been particularly serious or that is capable of improvement. It is also worth noting that block logs no longer become detached whilst accounts are renamed, so a rename would not obfuscate past issues. In any event, the logic of putting names to good use doesn't run very far now that Prom3th3an is, by virtue of having obtained control of the Promethean global account, the only one who can use the name on this project anyway. I will ask Raul654 to reconsider his position with respect to this request. WJBscribe (talk) 12:05, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thankyou for your time and guidance Will, I can assure you, I will put it to good use.  « l | Ψrom3th3ăn ™ | l »   (talk) 12:16, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I have to agree with Will. Promethean did create an account on simple wiki today and gain control of the account. Raul654 is a crat and welcome on this CHUU board but we all know admins/crats should not take actions in cases in which they are involved and Raul654 is certainly involved in this case. I also ask him to reconsider his position here. As for usurping, Promethean does have the SUL rights to this name. The only remaining question about "well-established/good standing". Promethean's edits certainly make him well-established. Is he in good-standing--depends on how you define that (block log, likelihood to be indef'd, record of disruption, is the user banned, etc). Given that there was no consensus to ban him a few days ago, I have to say he's in good standing for rename purposes. However I strongly encourage him to quickly mend the areas that have caused him trouble in the past. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 23:04, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * In any formal sense he is in good standing. He has made some egregious errors, but I believe others are working with him on these issues, which were more drama and breaches of AGF than anything one would normally worry about (we see neither article vandalism nor POV pushing for instance). Certainly the respelling of the username is not going to be a scrutiny issue as it's clearly identified as the same user, and as WJB has observed (and I can confirm, as I noticed it recently on a renamed user) block logs now follow a user around. Orderinchaos 23:31, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sympathetic to Raul's concerns, but I would also like to point out that, all considerations of standing aside, this rename could only minimally distance Prom3th3an from his former name, since the new name is orthographically almost identical, especially since '3' and 'e' belong to an orthographic equivalence class in l33tspeak and other discourses. I see no harm in granting this request. Raul, would you be willing to reconsider your decision here? &mdash; Dan | talk 23:37, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I have informed Raul that because this is technacally an SUL usurp, the 7 waiting game is waived and the only thing / rule or person stopping this is waiting for Raul reconsider.  « l | Ψrom3th3ăn ™ | l »   (talk) 00:07, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Since the other bureaucrats feel that it's OK to proceed with this rename despite the bad precedent it sets (that any user, no matter how disruptive, can request and get a rename), I'll drop my opposition. Raul654 (talk) 00:05, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * ✅ and noting that I think "any user, no matter how disruptive" is hyperbole. WJBscribe (talk) 00:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I have one more thing to add and that is this: This has been a David vs. Goliath battle by principle, At the start the username change was just a nicety I could have lived without it, but as the discussion progressed it became more about moral principles than anything else. At any point I could have attacked Raul again for being punitive and mean-spirited as I was furious because I like others saw through the charade, But I didn’t instead I found going about things the right way and letting things pan out got me further, a valuable lesson, its restored some of my faith. The remark from Raul above is nothing but a final slap in the face from someone who obviously felt that he had lost. If you felt you lost Raul please remember two things, A) There are no winners or losers on wikipedia B) You should have more faith in the Community's and other crat's ability to make its/their own judgements C) Every editor no matter how "influential", is answerable for his actions and motives. My thanks go to those who voiced thier opinions, especially Will and Ryan. From a very very happy (now) Promethean  « l | Ψrometheăn ™ | l »   (talk) 00:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Some of those other accounts, one on the Italian Wikipedia for example, was created back in 2006. However, since this English Wikipedia account is held by no-one as part of SUL, you should be able to rename to this in a week's time - the time taken so the user can return to view the message and raise any possible objections.

 * By the way, can you help with my SUL renaming question? (See the third bullet of my "Notes".) ~ Jafet • business • pleasure • voicemail 11:56, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * If you've not yet unified your account, stop now. If you wish for your accounts to be renamed to Jafet, you will have to rename them all locally (at the the wikis you are active on) and then unify them through Special:MergeAccount, after which every account you operate will be called Jafet (beware though, as soon as you venture off onto unvisited wikis, accounts under the name Jafet will be created automatically). It is relatively easy. Cau  lde  12:04, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I have already performed unification on "Jafet.vixle"; do your instructions apply to that? ~ Jafet • business • pleasure • voicemail 12:24, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You can ask at meta, if you wish. Stewards there deal with many SUL queries every week. (I was going to tell you to ask for deletion of the already unified account, but apparently that bug has been fixed, so maybe you just ask for the rename of the SUL there? I'm not sure. I should know, but I just returned to editing this board after an absence.) Cau  lde  13:33, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

I made a request already in the August of 2007, which was rejected back then due to me not appearing as an established user. (as seen in this revision) Now I have been a registered member for over an year, I have edited and created more pages (in addition to the edits I have done without logging in, before and after registering), and I have the account name Bgt in the Finnish version and my personal web page comes as a first hit when searching for the word "bgt" (at least in the Finnish Google). The current holder of the username bgt is yet to make even a single edit under that username.

 * For bureaucrat use: Email target username  ( [ 1 ])  ([ 2 ])  Fpoto (talk) 21:43, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Reason: I have been on the Internet since the early ninetees, and have always used the nickname "pot" (from my surname Potortì) when possible, i.e., when not already taken. My user name on the Italian Wikipedia is in fact Pot, <pot@gnu.org> is my first email address, which I use when dealing with free software issues, and <pot@potorti.it> is my regular email address for private matters (the one I registered with Wikipedia), http://pot.potorti.it/ is my private web page.  I do not like Fpoto (from my name and surname Francesco Potortì), it is just a fallback that I use when people request at least five characters and so on. Just today I discovered that the user Pot exists but is apparently unused, so I am here asking if I can change my nickname to reflect my historical and current habits and my usual network identity. --Fpoto (talk) 21:43, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
