 * Reason: In the German Wikipedia I use the name Hadi since 2004. When I tried to register Hadi als SUL the answer was that is has been used in the English version. Now two Admins helped me to find out what happened: A German article was imported in the English WP in 2013: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Traffic+cadet In this article was an edit I did in 2009: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Traffic_cadet&diff=prev&oldid=542213584 And so it seems that this edit (of myself) blocks the SUL in the English version... I hope this is comprehensible.

Scott Martin → Scott
—  Scott  •  talk  10:56, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Datestamp: 10:56, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Reason: This account has been abandoned since 2001 and I'd like to usurp it, given that I always sign myself as just "Scott" anyway.
 * AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:51, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * How screwy is that edit count! The account's so old that it must be suffering from some ancient database problem. —  Scott  •  talk  11:07, 19 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I am still concerned about hu:user:Scott who has the best claim and has been contributing intermittently since 2009 (WP:SUL/C). Do you think you could clear it with that user or try hu:WP:USURP? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xeno (talk • contribs) 16:56, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Xeno. Given that he's only made 32 edits in 4 years, none of which have ever been to a talk page, and doesn't have an email address set, getting in touch with him will be virtually impossible. Also given that he's not made any edits in other languages, and I occasionally do, I think that my claim to the SUL is stronger. I have no desire to usurp the name from its only other (occasionally) active user; he can keep using it locally without the SUL. (That's not unprecedented; see the SUL info for Hex, my previous user name. There's another Hex in China who's been happily editing there despite my having the SUL for that name.) —  Scott  •  talk  17:29, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
 * You do not technically have any claim to the SUL because your username is not presently Scott. As indicated in the guidelines, "bureaucrats will typically decline to process requests by local users that would ... have the effect of allowing a local user to take over the claim from an active user on another project, even if the SUL account has not yet been created." That being said, this is a borderline case (the user hasn't edited for 9 months, among the other points you mentioned) and I would welcome further opinions from other bureaucrats (user:WJBscribe?). – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 15:53, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I follow. Thanks; I'm quite keen on this idea, so will look forward to seeing more opinions. I hope the consensus will be that it won't cause any harm to my Hungarian namesake; I don't think that it would. —  Scott  •  talk  23:35, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Scott asked me to take a look as well; one concern I have is that if we give you "User:Scott", you may not have it for very long, if I understand the upcoming SUL switchover correctly. That is, since there are different "User:Scott"s on different language Wikipedias, you'd wind up getting automatically renamed to "User:Scott-enwiki" or something like that. (Or maybe you wouldn't, I'm not sure.) do you have an updated timeline of when this is supposed to go into effect? I'll also ping  since he's a steward and thus more familiar with the cross-wiki ramifications. 28bytes (talk) 17:02, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks 28. There isn't currently a global account for "Scott", so if I get it here I'll be able to register it, and thus end up keeping it when WP:SUL/F happens. —  Scott  •  talk  17:09, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I see you've gained control of at least one User:Scott, so that would seem to alleviate Xeno's concern that you lack standing for an SUL claim because you aren't User:Scott anyplace. I suppose we could ask you to make 33 gnoming edits on the Hebrew Wikipedia to solidy your SUL claim to the name, but that might be a bit too much bureaucracy even for a bureaucrat. At this point my inclination would be to grant your request, but as Xeno says it is a borderline case and I'd still like to hear from some of the other crats who were pinged. Keep in mind you'll still need to leave a note on the current User:Scott's talk page and give him seven days to object (unlikely though it may be that he'd even see it.) 28bytes (talk) 17:30, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Ha... I think I filed that a little prematurely, considering that it will be pretty weird having it if I'm not granted Scott here. It also struck me that I could simply register the global account on any wiki where it doesn't exist already, but that might seem like I was trying to cheat, or something. So I've not done that out of respect for y'all. That said, do you really think I need to do the notification? The other Scott's been gone for 12 years and 2 months. Waiting a week for him to respond feels a bit like procedure for procedure's sake. —  Scott  •  talk  17:46, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * If you're the first person who's been motivated to acquire the SUL, I don't see any reason why you can't log into he-wiki as User:Scott and try to do so. 28bytes (talk) 17:57, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * That's cool, thanks. However, I'm affectionate enough for this joint (and my account) that I want my SUL to be associated with it, even if that doesn't particularly mean anything. :) I'll wait for the outcome of this request. —  Scott  •  talk  18:07, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I was just about to pop over and leave the notification - it's funny how much less urgent things feel at the weekend - when I noticed that xeno has done it for me. Thank you xeno! —  Scott  •  talk  15:31, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * As a note, I'm waiting for the last unattached "Scott Martin" account (on ptwiki) to be usurped for me, which should happen this weekend. If this usurp request is approved, could 'crats please hold on from actioning it until I've unified the stray account. Thanks for all your help. —  Scott  •  talk  18:02, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, just to double-check: you know that, if we rename you here, your en account will be detached from your SUL, meaning that if you want them all to be SULed, you have to go get all those Scott Martin accounts renamed to Scott and remerged again, right? (At least, if there isn't a global rename function for stewards, which I don't think there is...) Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 18:24, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi WK - yeah, I'm aware of that... it's a bit tedious but I'm prepared for it. I can do it piece by piece in a leisurely fashion, anyway, it's the primary account that really matters. Roll on SUL finalization and freeing people from this kind of thing, hey! —  Scott  •  talk  19:10, 28 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Cool, just making sure; it'd be a shame to have all these Scott Martin usurps done if you didn't know you'd have to do them all over again. :) I'm not holding my breath for SUL finalization, though. Anyway, as for the Scott Martin -> Scott usurp: I think it'd be against policy (or whatever passes for policy when it comes to this sort of thing), but I'm personally inclined to not actually care. The point is that I don't think local bureaucrats are supposed to unilaterally perform local actions that have global consequences (in this case, changing the first dibs for the finalized global SUL for "Scott" from whoever has it now to you), but the point is also that I don't really think I particularly care, since as everyone has said, the person who does own it has been inactive since May and only has 32 edits in any event, and the global consequences aren't a thing until SUL finalization actually does happen. (Though it might be worth pointing out that they have longer gaps in their editing record than that, so it can't be taken as a sign that they've completely abandoned the account.) So, in conclusion, I don't really know (and am inexperienced when it comes to CHU/U anyway, 'crat or not); I'm inclined to do it regardless, but it is probably against policy, and after all, they wouldn't call us "bureaucrats" if we didn't endlessly wring our hands over the minutiae of the rules.

 * Reason: I occasionally contribute to Ukrainian and Russian Wikipedias where I am registered under the username "Homme". Unfortunately, this name is reserved on the English Wikipedia. I checked it out. Somebody must have created it a long time ago and never used it ever since. No contributions, no user page, no talk page. No trace of activity. I have created a user "Homme-emmoh" on the English Wikipedia, but it already doesn't feel convenient to log back and forth from Ukrainian Wikipedia when switching to the English one. Could you please give me the username "Homme" instead of the current one? My main activities will still remain within Ukrainian and Russian sectors, but it would be great to be there on the English one for more convenience. Thanks.

JBW0 → JBW
JBW0 (talk) 13:02, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Datestamp: 13:02, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Reason: This is an alternative account of User:JamesBWatson, created for the purpose of hosting short cuts to pages in my user space, so that I can link to them or transclude them without having to type my full username each time. There are various messages intended to help new users that I find myself writing over and over again. I have copies of some of them, so that I can copy and paste them, but it will be even easier if I can just link them, by writing something along the lines of . JBW seems a convenient abbreviation to use, and since the JBW account was created well over 8 years ago, and has no edits (deleted or undeleted) and no log record (apart from the creation of the account), it seems very unlikely that this will inconvenience him or her. I am aware that this request does not conform to the instuction "Please do not request usurpation of another account if your own user account is less than several months old, or barely used. In order to ensure that usurped usernames be put to good use, we prefer only to grant requests from reasonably well-established users." However, I am a "well-established user", even if this account is not well-established, and it is in the nature of my intended use of the account that most of its use will not show up in the account's editing history anyway, as it will appear at Special:Contributions/JamesBWatson. If you are unwilling to accept that as a reason for making an exception, then I can use the account under its present title for a while, and come back and make another request in a few months, but it will be more helpful to be able to start using it under its intended name as soon a possible. There is also an account JBW on French Wikipedia, but that account too has existed for many years and has made no edits and has no log entries at all (apart from the creation of the account): see https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spécial:Contributions/JBW https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spécial:Journal/JBW and http://wikiscan.org/utilisateur/JBW I have read Changing username/Guidelines and see nothing there that should create any problem.
