Wikinews:Changing username/Archive 3

Dottydotdot → Tristan Thomas

Note: Since Dottydotdot is a single user login username, if I rename you, your wikinews account will become separated from your other wikimedia accounts. Are you sure you want to be renamed? Bawolff 09:17, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, that's fine, thanks!   Dotty••   18:21, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you link to a diff of a comment on en.wp confirming this? --Brian McNeil / talk 16:41, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Let me clarify: we need a diff link to an edit by you at the English Wikipedia saying you are the same user there as at Wikinews, and you want your account here account to be renamed. A link to a diff at this wiki can't confirm anything, sorry. Tempodivalse [talk] 13:29, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If I rename you, then your login for this wiki and other WMF wikis will no longer be "unified", i.e. you'll have to log in here separately from other projects because the username is different. Is that ok with you? If so, I'll rename you. Tempodivalse [talk] 15:07, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah sure that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Is there any way of unifying them with a different username of Wikinews than on other WMF wikis but login as one logs in as both? If not no matter. Thanks, --Juleshs31 (talk) 15:22, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alas, no. There are no features in MediaWiki that support multiple pseudonyms. You can maintain the accounts separately, but should declare so clearly to avoid any appearance of operating sockpuppets. I'll do the rename now; what I did when I went from brianmc -> Brian McNeil was request separate renames on a few other projects and run a reunify on the new name. Left me with some orphan brianmcs places like Thai Wikinews. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:29, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay, well I may just do that, as I don't really contribute to other WMF projects much, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to request renames on all of them and eventualy reunify, when I get around to it... :P Thanks, --Juleshs31 (talk) 15:33, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't see any problem with this — if you can prove you own both accounts. Please provide a link to a signed, logged-in, diff on your home wiki (enwiki), and same for the account here. I will then be happy to rename the unlinked account to 'Oneiros-old and you can sort out the SUL. If you don't have the ability to log in to the account, then it'll be up for wider community discussion and scruitiny. --Brian McNeil / talk 02:20, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Here's the link to the section on my home wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Oneiros#SUL . Sorry, I don't own the Oneiros on this wiki. But that account hasn't been used for more than four years.--91.1.105.68 (talk) 14:45, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Not done I'm sorry, while the user hasn't been around for a long time, they've made good-faith contributions. They've not set and confirmed an email address, I have no way to see if they wish to keep the name or have a preferred change. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:33, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Iceflow → BarkingFish

edit
  • Current name: Iceflow (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
  • Requested name: BarkingFish (SUL reports: old & new) (rename user)
  • Reason: SUL Unification, across all WMF projects. Renamed at home wiki (en.wp), this is to go in accordance with my Home Wiki.
  • Link to confirmatory edit: here
  • Please note:' The username BarkingFish does exist here, but has no edits or actions on this Wiki, the request therefore is that the username be changed and User:BarkingFish be usurped. Thanks!

Treelo → Baa

edit
This page hasn't been touched since I requested this usurptation? Odd, you'd figure someone would have come by and dealt with me and Iceflow (now BarkingFish) by now. I'll get in contact with a crat then. Treelo (talk) 00:40, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, BarkingFish's request was completed, someone just forgot to mark it as done. Regarding your request: the account Baa (talk · contribs) already exists, but I usurped it, as it's never logged any actions here, and was created so long ago that the creation logs don't even list it - i think it's safe. So,   Done. Sorry for the long wait. Tempodivalse [talk] 01:06, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

edit
  •   Done. Please makes sure you're logged out of the JulieSpaulding account on enwn and don't accidentally recreate it by being logged in on your SUL account and coming here from elsewhere. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:19, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You need to verify you own the account on enwiki. (making an edit to your talk page on wikipedia with user:Zeus saying you authorize this, and linking to the diff is sufficient to verify you own it). Bawolff 05:18, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Here's the diff from wikibooks, but I already got renamed it looks like. [5] Thanks Zeus (talk) 15:02, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I see what happened, it seems that my wikipedia cookie got used over here as a new account. As I didn't have any major edits, I will rescind proposal and just use this account. Zeus (talk) 20:51, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I would've emailed the user, but they never set an email address on the account (or never confirmed it). Likely will be fine and Tempo or I can rename it out the way for you to do an SUL in a couple of days. Two edits isn't something to really worry about. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:07, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please make an edit on wikipedia (to your userpage or somewhere like that) saying you are B-101 on wikinews and are requesting a rename. Then please link the diff down here. We need this to verify you really own JustPhil on 'pedia. Bawolff 15:43, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
