 * Reason: Hello, I would like to change my username, so do not compare me with the user User:Ricardo80, Since both edit articles about telenovelas.


 * are you ca:user:Biaggio ? If not I cannot complete this request since they currently have the claim to the global account. Please note it is also probably a good idea to select a name that has no global usage so that you can be renamed globally (77 attached accounts). – xeno talk 22:32, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, I just want to use the name is wikipedia. And what I see Biaggio has no edition in English wikipedia.-- Damián (talk) 23:22, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately per our WP:Handling SUL conflicts guideline I can't grant you this name locally because that would be removing the ca.wiki users' ability to create the global account to which they currently hold the best claim (bureaucrats will typically decline to process requests by local users that would create new SUL conflicts or 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). If you want you could ask them if they don't mind changing their name. – xeno talk 23:28, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
 * So what I can change to User:McVeigh ?. For the user who uses the nick I want, in another project, not connected since June.-- Damián (talk) 23:35, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes 'User:McVeigh' is fine I think. I will notify the target user for you and process after the customary hold period. Please note we will complete your rename globally unless you request otherwise. – xeno talk 23:43, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Chander   For   You  03:52, 11 September 2014 (UTC)


 * ✅ locally; global rename would not be possible since renamed at commons. You have to seek rename for your other accounts locally and then special:MergeAccount – xeno talk 12:22, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * @Xeno: Global rename would have never been possible because there are multiple users with the user name Chander and the global renaming policy only allows renames when the new user name is not registered anywhere.  But I do agree with your assessment that the only way forward here is to register a SUL account and then seek renaming on the remaining wikis. odder (talk) 15:30, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I had (probably too optimistically) hoped we could get all the existing 'Chander' accounts out of the way before the 15th rolls around and then do a global rename. Chander can complete their SUL in the usual way or at SRUC when local renaming is no longer possible on individual projects. – xeno talk 15:41, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello en-wiki admins. My name is Matthias Smed Larsen but on da-wiki I go by the username InsaneHacker. I've been trying to convert my account to a global account but apparently someone registered the username InsaneHacker on en-wiki back in 2006.

However, Pohjannaula@enwiki blocks the global rename process, and Kankaanpää wrote on fiwiki that it is his own account. After Pohjannaula → Eemil Kankaanpää usurpation here on enwiki Ị could fulfill his request as a global renamer (of course steward or another global renamer could do that also, but I'm not overworked with rename requests). I'll ask him to confirm this request here logged in as Pohjannaula (and in English logged in as Eemil Kankaanpää on fiwiki, if needed).

 * Reason: Off-wiki harassment, bullying. Also, manuls are awesome, and such a name would inspire me to edit awesomely. I don't particularly want the unified login, but if you must assign it then it looks OK: several zero-edit accounts, one 3-edit account that includes 2 edits to own user pages, and an indef blocked account with 227 edits that contributed to just one article.
 * AnomieBOT ⚡ 08:19, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

 * could we go ahead with the local request? Thanks, – xeno <sup style="color:black;">talk 16:08, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I would give these two accounts the possibility to choose another name and esp. the German account a chance to return. For that reason, I would propose a crazy solution: Renaming all local accounts of Manul away, doing a global rename on Vzaak to Manul and undoing these two local renames so that they can still login and choose a fresh username before and even after completion of that process. That would mean, that Vzaak would not be able to edit dewiki and huwiki until SUL finalisation is completed but afterwards, and will give both these local account an infinit chance to choose a fresh username. What do you think? Cheers, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:18, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
 * That seems like it would work, if it is compatible with the other local usurp guidelines.
