Tymun → Slazenger
--Tymun  (Contact Me - Contribs) 04:23, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Datestamp: 04:23, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Reason: I have been using the name "Slazenger" online for the past six or seven years (beginning on games and gaming sites, and now on everything - including my Wiki email 'Slazenger@ne.rr.com') and I feel as though it would be more appropriate to go by the name the internet knows me by. I created my account with the name "Tymun" as a combination of my first and last names...but due to the fact that I no longer use the name Tymun on any program or site I participate on, it has become a burden to go by it.  I also am known as Slazenger on IRC.  Given the lack of activity on the current account "Slazenger" and lack of a SUL under the name "Slazenger", I respectfully request to usurp the name for use across all wikimedia projects. Many thanks for your consideration.   --Tymun  (Contact Me - Contribs) 04:23, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

"Slazenger" has made some great edits, so unfortunately you cannot usurp his account due to licensing concerns. -- J (t)  13:11, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Understood. Figured I'd give it a try due to their inactivity.  No worry!  Thank you!   --Tymun  (Contact Me - Contribs) 14:01, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Unless Slazenger allows the usurpation, the road is gone. Would "Slazengr" work? Sorry... -- J (t)  23:41, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Jeff, regarding the alternate name, I would much prefer to have the exact name "Slazenger". I understand the licensing concerns, but due to the user's inactivity, would you suggest a course of action to attempt to resolve this?  Thanks!   --Tymun  (Contact Me - Contribs) 04:34, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but there are people who make the rules. Contact this guy, I think he may be able to help. ;) -- J (t)  13:12, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * After thinking it over, going by this name isn't a terrible hassle. It's not the name that matters, but rather what I contribute.  I appreciate your responses, but given the circumstances - it looks like the easiest thing to do is keep the name.  Thanks!  --Tymun  (Contact Me - Contribs) 01:58, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Tymun, I have reviewed the situation and approve your request conditionally pending the exhaustion of the time period. Slazenger made edits but they are not substantial enough to prohibit the usurp request.  MBisanz  talk 21:23, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Jeff and MBisanz! I am still interested in using the name "Slazenger" and would be very appreciative to have this go through! Thank you both for your help. --Tymun  (Contact Me - Contribs) 02:37, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Paul kuiper NL → Paul K.
Note: The account Paul K. (Created on 27 August 2011 at 21:56) must have been created accidentally when I moved from Meta or Commons to en.wiki. I have not made any edits on this account. Today I placed a confirmation of this request on my talk page on Meta, see Paul K. (talk) 14:59, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Datestamp: 14:59, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

 * I think we could approve this request, but I would like the requesting editor to think one more time about it. Unifying the account properly will probably be very difficult, if it is possible at all. Even if you decide you're not too bothered about editing some of those foreign language wikis, you may suffer from some mistaken identity at some point because of it. If there's any other username you'd rather have that our tool tells you is totally available, you might prefer to go the easy route. But if you're set on this one, I think we're agreed you can have it. Please confirm. --Dweller (talk) 10:27, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm in two minds about Dlr, as the DLR account is currently active on other wikis and there is the possibility of confusion - it would be easier if the user simply chose another name? --Dweller (talk) 11:01, 3 January 2012 (UTC) Following the comments at BN, I missed that the user already controls the SUL. Per WP:SUL/C, "English Wikipedia bureaucrats will typically process requests to "usurp" unused or inactive local accounts made by SUL owners expediently and with relaxed consideration". This seems to fit perfectly. I think we should usurp and rename to User:DLR --Dweller (talk) 14:44, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

I also overlooked that DLR owns the account. I'm moving to a neutral stance at this point; I'm still concerned about the number of edits by the old account and whether that raises copyright concerns. The enwiki DLR made some fairly lengthy talk page comments; this is one example I found in a rather cursory look at the most recent 100 edits. If there's no such concern owing to the age or otherwise, I'd say we should usurp. -- Pakaran 20:24, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks all for your concern far from now.--90.12.250.229 (talk) 20:34, 3 January 2012 (UTC)


 * FYI there is a recent discussion on the subject of licensing concerns at Wikipedia talk:Changing username/Archive 3. – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 21:13, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I get the sense from that discussion that licensing may interfere with usurps.  I also notice that you link there a usurp that you did of a user with a smaller number of edits (just over 100, versus around 300); also, the requester was an active sysop with tens of thousands of edits on his home project.  That makes me think that as regards usurping in spite of licensing, we're now faced with something more extreme than what you referenced as a "corner case".  I'm not a lawyer, and I certainly don't claim that there's copyright issues for a user with 300 edits that we would never face usurping any user with 10, but on the flip side, I see reason to proceed cautiously here.  -- Pakaran 22:11, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I wonder if, in cases like this, we could have a bot immediately follow a usurp rename to change the sigs wherever they may be so thy reflect the new username? We'd basically need to get the sig pattern for the bot to find so it could then change it to point to the new username. The bot could then use the pattern to go through the list of contributions and change any sigs to the new username so there would be no confusion with the new owner of the old username. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 22:43, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I like this idea. I imagine AWB could be set up to do it, or someone like MZMcBride or Hersfold could do it.  MBisanz  talk 02:13, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds very good to me. If people can click through to the current username, I can't see how there'd be any concern around attribution of edits.  We do need to figure out the details of what syntax the bot should take, etc.  I believe a mechanism for checking if a request comes from a crat already exists, since I'm pretty sure the CHU archive bot does so.  -- Pakaran 03:37, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Please leave talk pages alone. A bot is a horrible idea that will do far more harm than good here. You'll end up futzing with archives and other shit that shouldn't be touched, you'll have to deal with the complexity of finding signatures (people change them all the time), corner cases resulting in false positives (and false negatives), etc. Cost trumps benefit dramatically. If it's small enough to do it by hand, do it by hand. If it's not small enough to by hand, surely that says something about usurping the account? --MZMcBride (talk) 01:09, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
