Hello, all those wikis have local crats, please ask for renames there (interwikilinks to the requestpages can be found on this page, or type special:listusers/bureaucrat into the searchfield on the local wiki), thanks. Please note that usurping might not be possible on some projects if the accounts have edits, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 17:00, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Helo, please don't remove my answer, cs.wiki also has local crats, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 19:55, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, did not want to choke. Just on this page is not their addresses.--Anakreon 07:56, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

No problem :) But it is on this page (see interwikilinks at the left): [4], I will add it to the other page now too, thanks for the hint, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 09:39, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

I put my request in July. The two bureaucrats seem to be MIA for a few months already.

Thanks. I missed one project, trwikisource, which has no bureaucrat.

  Done, (for the record: user had 0 edits), best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 05:13, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm en:User:Ghettoblaster. I'm not sure if it is possible, but I'd like to usurp the following account which is apparently not used since May 2006 (just two edits). Thank you very much.

I'm en:User:Tonyle and es:User:Tonyle among others. Here is my unified account. I am not certain if the following account is mine, but I'd like to request usurpation by virtue of my edit count (70 to 0). I've tried to do a crat search as detailed above but it doesn't seem to work on vi.wikipedia. Thanks.

I want to usurp the following accounts:

• w:ka:Bjs – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp

I created a SUL account with de-wiki as home wiki. The user on ka has no edits. I contacted the bureaucrat Malafaya, but he has no edits since a month. Please merge the account. Thanks --Bjs 09:31, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

  Done. MaxSem^{(Han shot first!)} 09:56, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your fast action --Bjs 08:06, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

No idea wheather I'm right or not, but I have a problem to "re-enter" my SUL-account on zh-yue WP: ([5]). I alread made two edits but when returning the next day I wasn't able to login. I already tried to change my password (it has special chars so I thought that may be the reason ...).

When running the sul-util it lists my login on zh-hue as "unattached" !?! Can please someone help me? Thanks in advance! axp_de^Hello! 00:30, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

The account on zh-yue does not show up on centralAuth. Please can You try the following: try to login to that account with Your old password (try all old passwords You had before sul!), if that does not work, please try to recover the password via the email-recovery. Then go to zh-yue:special:mergeaccount to merge the account.

If all this does not work the only option would be to usurp it.

Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 00:34, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Heaven ... can you tell me how I was able to ignore the button "send new password" completely? I already searched for this function everywhere else ... having right below my nose :( ... thank you for opening my eyes, was able to integrate the next project into my SUL :) axp_de^Hello! 00:44, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Sehr fein :) freue mich, dass es geklappt hat, lG., --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 00:48, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I am user de:Benutzer:Bjs and have a global account with this name and de-wiki as a home wiki Since my request for usurpation of nl:user:Bjs was refused, I created a local account nl:user:Bjs-nl there. I the wanted to mark up some pages of my global account Bjs, but unfortunately did not log off before. So I created some accounts for the global account Bjs-nl instead of Bjs. In order to avoid such errors in the future, please delete my global account Bjs-nl. Greetings --Bjs-nl 15:04, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

  Done, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 15:12, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the fast response. --Bjs 15:21, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

One more question: what's about the users created on various projects? Should they also be deleted or left without edits as they are? --Bjs 15:27, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Since You are using the other account on these projects they should not bother You much, I would leave them as they are, since accounts can not be deleted, only renamed it would not make much sense to move them to another name ~

Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 15:30, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

No, another name would be no solution at all. So we let them rest there in peace. Thank you for the answer. --Bjs 15:32, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, please delete my global account, I need to rename my account commons:User:Harold17 to commons:User:Harold (this account is my too). --Harold 16:16, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello, reanming an account to or from a global account works (the bug had been fixed some months ago, see top), best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 16:16, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

(P.S. if the local crats ask for that please link the discussion here, I can explain it then there. They just need to rename commons:User:Harold to something else (the autocreated one), and then commons:User:Harold17 to commons:User:Harold. deletion of local accounts is not possible, deletion of global account would mean only to delete the attachement between all attached local accounts) Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 16:22, 15 December 2008 (UTC))

Thanks for the explanation. I didn 't know. :-) --Harold 16:28, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem, that's what this site is for :) Good luck and happy sul-ing :o) --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 16:29, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

I want to usurp the following accounts:

• w:fa:Asgar – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp

--Asgar 03:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

One of the local bureaucrats, fa:User:Behaafarid, has edited today. You'll want to ask that user. Kylu 03:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your support - I didn't see it before posting. Right-to-left-writing confused me a bit. --Asgar 03:32, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

It's done - this can be archived / deleted / whatever. --Asgar 15:56, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I would like to usurp the following account:

• :mw:Alainna – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp

The account has no activity on it. My current global account is en:User:Alainna and the mediawiki is the only conflict. I'm thinking that it was me who created the account, which would've been with my old e-mail address which has since been deleted. Thank you and regards, L 10:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I as a local crat on mediawiki have usurped the nick to something else allowing you to click a link to that wiki which will automatically create an account for you ...--Cometstyles 10:13, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh! Thank you very much, User:Cometstyles! I didn't expect this to be resolved so quickly. Warm regards, L 10:20, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
