Timtrent to add FF as a legitimate alternate account

 * Datestamp: 08:20, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Reason: I have used the nickname/signature of Fiddle Faddle for as long as I have been active on Wikipedia, bar a couple of days. To avoid confusion I usurped the account some time ago and adopted it as a legitimate alternate account, setting it to redirect talk requests to my account of . I have recently been addressed as  and wish to usurp this as an additional legitimate alternate account to help avoid further confusion.


 * I wish to keep and continue to use  as my main account. I do not wish to lose control of, nor access to this account. Please do not rename my account under any circumstances. This is not a typical request.


 * The SUL for FF shows 5 edits to en, 95 to nl. If the 95 to nl are a gating factor let us drop this right now, at the outset. The request is intended for my convenience, not to incovenience another editor

 * Datestamp: 22:25, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Reason: I am a stong contributor so far, when I posted the notice for Usurpation, I had to create the User and Talk pages and when in edit mode to post it, there was a message saying the name was not refistered. Also there was no User Contributions tab. And finally, I went through the process of making an account without making it and the username was available. Thanks!

 * Yes it does. Accounts are all unified via the single-user login feature. Thus, even if a user only has a local account on another wiki, it is considered to be taken on all wikis. --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!   See what I have done  01:44, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

NemesisFY → Ritterbruder
NemesisFY (talk) 05:17, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Datestamp: 05:17, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Reason: I'd like to change my usurname as the one I currently use with FY stands for an offensive phrase which I'd rather not mention here for the sake of politeness, and due to the fact I was younger when I made this account I didn't think well about it when I did. The target account was created, never used and abandoned almost five years ago. I was unable to leave a warning due to the language used on that account is Russian, and it seems the only option in the Russian wikipedia, using a translator, was "create page: Ritterbruder", which is odd, if there is no page how does it show up in the result? Thanks in advance.

SheriffIsInTown → Sheriff

 * Reason: I tried to register that account when i was registering my account which is a long time before "Sheriff" was registered but somehow i could not register. The target account does not have much contributions on English Wikipedia, i will like to request that we assign target user a name which could be translation of "Sheriff" in the language in which target user is making significant contributions and assign "Sheriff" to me.

Requests for usurpation of global usernames with significant attachments on other projects must be made at Steward requests/Username changes. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:48, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * How can i check if my account is a global account? Also, how can i obtain a confirmation link? Sh eri ff  (talk) 17:14, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * You can create a global account using Special:MergeAccount (currently this is not necessary, since all user accounts on all Wikimedia projects should now have one, and new accounts always have a global account created for them), and you can check on it later by going to Special:CentralAuth/SheriffIsInTown. A confirmation link can only be obtained if you own the target account (when you know its password) -- make an edit with it, and then paste the URL to the diff here using your current account. However, as the target account has made edits on another wiki, this request cannot be processed here, and should instead be filed at SRUC. However, whether or not it will be approved is up to a steward, since as of now there is still no "official" usurpation policy for accounts. --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!

Well, I'll just wait to see what bureaucrat can tell me.

 * OK. The user has a single edit on the talk page of an article on German wiki dating back to 2006 and no other edits anywhere else. I don't know if this counts as a significant edit so I filed a request on Steward requests/Username changes. rdt (talk) 21:15, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Lemmie → Lemmie
I request this name "Lemmie", because my English user was moved from "Lemmie" to "Lemmie~enwiki". But I can log on the English Wikipedia as "Lemmie" as before - so I wish to assure, that "Lemmie" is still and furthermore my English user, because apparently no one else uses it (I searched at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth)! Best wishes, Lemmie (talk) 12:29, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Reason: Hallo,
 * The target username " Lemmie " is equivalent to the original username " Lemmie ". Please follow the instructions at the top of the page to correctly file your request. AnomieBOT ⚡ 12:36, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Is it possible to copy my contributions history (copied by the bot "Maintenance script" from "Lemmie" to "Lemmie~enwiki") back to "Lemmie"? Then the obsolete user "Lemmie~enwiki" can be deleted. Lemmie (talk) 15:34, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
 * It is currently not possible to merge accounts. — k6ka  <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 17:13, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
 * K6ka is correct, however if you do not want to keep your contributions as User:Lemmie here (there are only 2 edits other than those to this board), I believe it is possible to switch your two enwiki accounts around. We will need to get a Steward to help if want to go down that route. <strong style="font-variant:small-caps">WJBscribe (talk) 22:36, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
 * ❌ - please raise this at Steward requests/Username changes if you want to pursue the suggestion I made above. <strong style="font-variant:small-caps">WJBscribe (talk) 16:20, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Bahman~enwiki → bahman
bahman (talk) 13:35, 26 August 2016 (UTC) Hi,
 * Datestamp: 13:35, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Reason: YOUR REASON

My username was changed from bahman to bahman~enwiki by, I suspect, some kind of internal account consolidation/migration system. I can no longer log-in with my original username but can do so with the new system-attributed one. This is not exactly a disaster, but I don't like the idea of being renamed by a machine. I want my original username back, please.

My old username, bahman, may or may not have been attributed to someone else; I have no way of knowing.

thanks,

bahman

 * your username is in use by a Russian user who was given priority because they had more edits than you at the time of unification (see Special:CentralAuth/Bahman). Perhaps another username or a less machine-like modification on Bahman? –<b style="font-family:verdana;color:#000">xeno</b><sup style="color:#000">talk 14:21, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Clarification -- it has nothing to do with edit count, the globalization script only looked at creation date. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  16:05, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Not that it matters much, but that's not what it says here: Single User Login finalisation announcement/Schema announcement. Registration date was only used if there was an edit count tie. –<b style="font-family:verdana;color:#000">xeno</b><sup style="color:#000">talk 19:15, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * you might be right... when the globalization script passed through a year or two ago, I lost my alt User:Salv (created 2013) to a nowikn user with 6 edits in 2009 but my alt had only one edit so that might well be the case. (I've had to tangle with Stewards a bit to recover the name :p) ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  19:46, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
