None (SUL request) → Dividedeye
24.2.51.181 (talk) 21:03, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Datestamp: 21:03, 9 July 2014 (UTC) You have not added a confirmation link! Replace this message with the url that confirms that you hold the SUL for Dividedeye. 
 * Reason: I tried to create an account with a similar name (Divided.Eye), but was denied because "The name "Divided.Eye" is too similar to the following username: Dividedeye". I checked the SUL info page for that users account, and it turns out that the account was created on 1 September, 2007, which is also the last (only) time that the user was active. Divided.Eye is the moniker that I use for a lot of my online accounts [on other sites], so I would like to continue using that name here as well. The owner of the account Dividedeye has only made 2 total edits (1 edit, 1 deletion). Considering that the account has not been active for 7 years, I think it's only fair to give the account to someone who wants to use that name... someone who will actually use it (me). If I can't take over/usurp the account, I would like to request that an exception be made in this case to allow me to create a similarly-named account (Divided.Eye). I tried placing an account request, but was denied because "it implies that more than one person may use the account as it appears to be the name of a filming company. Wikipedia's policy is that a user account should be used only by one person and that one person should use only one account in most cases." I have no affiliation with this company whatsoever, and when I did a search for the company's webpage, I found that the site no longer even exists (which suggests that the company doesn't, either). I don't even have a Wikipedia account yet, so there's no danger of "multiple people using one account." Long story short: I would like to use a similar account name, and feel that it's unfair to block me from creating said account (or deny my request to usurp the inactive account) just because some user created it 7 years before me. As for the notion that the account name I tried to create "implies that more than one person may use the account"--if the reasoning is that the name includes the word "divided," a quick search of the Users database shows that there are many other names starting with that word... so I don't think that line of reasoning has merit. Thanks for your time.
 * Note: This request has been detected as an usurp only request.

Ich → Ich
Ich (talk) 19:00, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Reason: I would like to usurp all inactive accounts named "Ich" for purposes of SUL ( https://tools.wmflabs.org/quentinv57-tools/tools/sulinfo.php?username=Ich&showinactivity=1&showblocks=1&showlocked=1 ). The only possible problem account is on the German Wikipedia; the user has 279 edits but has been inactive for over two years. I have been editing the German wikipedia under the name "Ichvonen" for a while but would like to be able to do it from a unified login. If it is not possible to link the German account "Ich", can I usurp the German account "Ick" and link that to the SUL for "Ich"? If that's not possible, could I move & usurp the global user account for "Ick"? If this is not in the right place, please let me know where I should direct my inquiry.

 * As far as I know, de.wiki is very strict about not usurping accounts that have edits. You'd have to ask at de:WP:USURP. As for the other accounts, you either need to contact local bureaucrats via RENAMELINKS or ask at m:SR/SUL. As regards 'Ick', I would ask you to first seek usurp at ru:ВП:ЗУ as they have best claim to name 'Ick' (also I think they don't usurp accounts with more than 5 edits?). – xeno talk 19:20, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Alas, it is not. I've been away for a few years and much has been added, like SUL accounts. I will have to check on another option. I also want to find out where the unattached with my username is located. I do read the .ru page but did not think I had made any edits or even registered outside the en-wiki.

I left a (roughly, but adequately) translated request for the user on his talk page to see if he would be willing to abandon or change name per xeno's suggestion User_talk:Xeno. I don't hold much hope for a response. It appears he's down 2-3 edits a year over the last several years. -- G e n e b 1 9 5 5  Talk 12:41, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

I hope you realize that shared accounts, i.e. an account used by more than one user, are not permitted on Wikipedia. Each member of your team must create their own individual account, and then you may edit together as a "group of editors on multiple accounts", like a WikiProject. --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!

Yes, sorry, I should have explained more. My personal account is User:Jrf and Diffeo is for a bot and associated documentation. Diffeo demo (talk) 20:19, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
 * According to the bot username policy, bots must be clearly identified that they are a bot in their username. Examples include, , and . If you are running a bot, you need to get it approved by the Bot Approvals Group (BAG) and pick a username that clearly identifies it as a bot. "DiffeoBot" seems suitable in this case, but the badge of approval from BAG is needed to operate it outside of your userspace. --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!
