Steward requests/SUL requests: Difference between revisions

Here you can request your account deletion and usurpation on wikis without active bureaucrats, or request the deletion of a global account if you need to be renamed or to usurp an account elsewhere. Please add new requests at the bottom!

This is a list of local pages where requests for renames can be made.

If you want to request the renaming of multiple accounts on wikis without local bureaucrats please use the format:

*{{Merging|YourName|language shortcut|project shortcut}}

See the template documentation for all of the project codes and more examples.

Please sign your requests with --~~~~, thank you!

Example:

===example user===
{{status}}
I want to be renamed to ... with the following accounts // I want to usurp the following accounts
*{{Merging|YourName|tpi|w}}
*{{Merging|YourName|ga|wikt}}
*{{Merging|YourName|gd|wikt}}
*{{Merging|YourName|fo|s}}

I want to usurp the following account

• w:hr:Maky – contribs – log – CentralAuth – usurp

I have made the request, which should meet requirements. The user has only made 4 edits total, and none since 2006. The user has not replied to my usurpation request in over 10 days, and the three most active admins/bureaucrats (SpeedyGonsales, Roberta_F, and Dtom) on the page have not replied to my messages (despite still being active on hrwiki).

Also, I am having issues usurping on Wiki Commons, and although I respect both of the bureaucrats I've been interacting with, I feel their expectations are both irrational and counter to Wiki's principles. Admittedly, when I started the usurpation process on enwiki, I was very confused because the documentation pages are horribly lacking in terms of explaining the wiki-by-wiki usurpation process. However, as I hope you can see from the Commons usurpation request and concurrent discussions with the most active usurpation bureaucrat followed by another I asked for a second opinion on IRC, I feel like I'm being forced to pick a fight over a user account on a wiki I have no interest in, even though I only want the Commons account and I'm the only person who has ever expressed interest in it. Is there somewhere I can take this to? --Visionholder (talk) 06:15, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I should be clear: The user account that I'm not even wanting to usurp is not the hrwiki account above—it's on plwiki, which aside from Commons is the only other account I don't control. Please let me know if there are any hang-ups with the hrwiki usurpation. No one's answering any of my posts anywhere, so I'm kind of confused about what's taking so long. Maky (talk) 00:53, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

pl.wiki has local crats, see here, so you would need to ask them to do the rename. MBisanz ^talk 22:54, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know that. I came here to close out hrwiki, though. That's the one I'm not getting any replies for. I haven't even put in a request at plwiki for the reasons given in the links above. Can you help with hrwiki, or not? Maky (talk) 00:45, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

┌─────────┘
I finally managed to get a reply after nearly three weeks on hrwiki, so this request is no longer needed. However, I would appreciate a suggestion on where to take my case over the Commons usurpation issues. Again, this is ridiculous because it's quite obvious neither I nor the plwiki user control the Commons account, yet I am a very significant contributor and he is not. They are already "preventing him from contributing on Commons with his username" because no one can usurp the account. This truly makes no sense. Worse, the decision is very disruptive because I'm constantly working in multiple tabs, and uploading or editing on Commons requires me to log out and log back in, which screws up my other tabs/windows. If this is going to stand for the next 5 months while I wait for a solid usurpation request on plwiki (or longer if he makes a few more edits), then I'll stop helping on Commons and upload all my new content to enwiki and let the bots transfer it over.

Not done All projects mentioned in this requests have local bureaucrats. Please ask them. You could use this page to search for the request pages. Trijnstel_talk 17:38, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And by the way, accounts cannot be deleted, they can be renamed but will still exist. Bencmq (talk) 20:42, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

– 82.106.80.118 18:07, 21 March 2012 (UTC) ( I'm Torque in italian wikipedia )[reply]

Hmm. A SUL account exists for Torque with trwiki as its home project (199 edits in total). So I'm not sure if we can usurp these accounts for you (any thoughts of other stewards?). And btw, only tr.wikiquote doesn't have local 'crats. The other four have all active 'crats. And last but not least, could you confirm on it-wiki that you're Torque? Trijnstel_talk 18:26, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, i'm the it.wiki original Torque and i would to create an global account but i didn't manage to do cause it was already created by the tr.wiki user. I can see that the last "page edit" that this user did was in 2010... am I wrong?

I spoke with a it.wiki 'crat (see here) and he told me to view this page to solve my problem. How can i proceed to come to an end? –82.106.80.118 11:45, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion is that conflicts should be resolved first in favor of a user with userrights, then in favor of the user with the most edits, then in favor of the oldest account. In this case, the it.wiki user has the most edits, so I think they should "win" the SUL. The en.wiki user is the oldest, but not as active as tr.wiki or it.wiki. MBisanz ^talk 13:51, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually Rupertsciamenna had never been a 'crat. Anyway we cannot usurp accounts on wiki with local bureaucrats. So we can theoretically only usurp Torque@tr.wikiquote but it's quite pointless without usurping the other ones.

--Vituzzu (talk) 19:52, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well...we could also delete the SUL and let the it.wiki user acquire it by virtue of having more edits. MBisanz ^talk 23:22, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Afaik Special:Mergeaccount will work only for the eldest account. --Vituzzu (talk) 10:06, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@Vito I think userrights and edit count takes priority... Bencmq (talk) 14:04, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So... what can I do? –2.157.223.102 12:26, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm willing to delete the SUL as long as no other stewards object. MBisanz ^talk 14:01, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But has not yet been decided what to do –82.106.80.118 14:24, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
