- Although widely-registered, the name is surprisingly unused on other projects, so this request can proceed after the hold period. However, do note that you will need to usurp the account on many other projects if you want to fully unify. –xenotalk 18:55, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, after further review of the consequences of usurping that name, I've decided it will not be in my best interest to proceed. I therefore formally withdraw my usurpation request. Thank you, xeno, for pointing out the consequences. I will leave this request template up, and I guess an admin/bureaucrat can remove/archive it later. Thanks. Amit ► 19:25, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- I wasn't necessarily trying to dissuade you from taking the name, just letting you know that some work would be cut out for you to fully unify. (And heck, spelunking around on other projects taking over the name is kinda fun, if you like using web-translators and basic English ;>). –xenotalk 19:32, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

I would also be happy with Ozor Mox if OzorMox is not possible for whatever reason. Ozor Mox X (talk) 16:07, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Swarm → ♠
[edit]Status: Not done
- Current username: Swarm (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)

- Datestamp: 12:43, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Reason: This user was blocked indefinitely several years ago because of the username itself. I know it's a very odd request. Users with non-Latin usernames were widely and freely blocked several years back (in this case, 2006). Users, however, aren't barred from having "symbols" as their usernames, and several do (I'm aware of the signature guidelines for such, however). A look at username policy in February 2006 shows that policy didn't support the block back then, either. So I brought a couple of long-blocked usernames to WP:AN for a review. It was pretty much decided that regardless of whether the block was inappropriate, it wouldn't make any sense whatsoever to unblock them; if the person had a new account, we would be creating a sock for them. Makes perfect sense to leave these cases blocked indefinitely even though the username shouldn't have been blocked in the first place. Considering these circumstances, I'm requesting that the typical "wait time" is ignored.

Clerk note: User "♠" is not registered. Please see WP:CHU/S instead. ClueBot VI (talk) 12:43, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- That is an error, obviously. SwarmTalk 17:23, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, it is accurate (see the wikitext). Your filing had the username field filled in as "♠" whereas you should've typed ♠. Corrected. –xenotalk 13:00, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
Clerk note: The policy might not forbid those usernames but imho we should not encourage their use further by renaming people to such names, which are both complicated for people to write and might break formatting and/or display of pages. I think Betacommand's rename started a trend that's ultimately harmful to this project while being of no real use to those renamed and I'd suggest the crat(s) considering this request to put it on hold until the community has discussed this and policy been changed to address it. The fact that such users were blocked in the past is indication that there might be some dispute about whether such names are desired under our username policy and we should discuss it first before proceeding with granting those requests. Regards SoWhy 17:33, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- I don't want to seem argumentative, but one, people could either type "spade" or &spades, but it's not hard to type and it's a simple HTML symbol. Two, the policy has never forbid such names ever. All the blocks show was that the blocking admins were not completely familiar with the username policy. Admins can't block because they don't like something! Three, have these usernames ever proven to break the display of pages? A simple HTML symbol simply shouldn't do that. As far as I know, the software can support HTML symbols. They've always seemed to show up normally, like any other character. Four, this request has nothing to do with Betacommand's rename, and I was unaware there was a trend of users changing their names to symbols. If there was an ongoing discussion, I wouldn't have made this request until it was over. However, I don't think it should be prevented in anticipation of a discussion that may or may not prohibit such usernames, and would like to have this request judged based on current policy, not personal opinion or anticipation of a change in policy. SwarmTalk 04:39, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- I merely pointed out that there a good reasons to decline such a request (another example is the automated clerk note by ClueBot above which demonstrates that automated scripts and bots might be unable to parse such usernames) and that admins back then possibly acted in what was considered consensus, even if it was not written down. As such, there is a real chance that consensus might not be in favor of such usernames and thus we might benefit from discussing it first. There is no harm to postpone this request to allow such a discussion first, so I think it would be sensible for the deciding crat to do so. But of course, no one is forced to take my advice or agree with me. Regards SoWhy 08:14, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- Just my thoughts. I would rather have a consensus one way or another, but as of right now, I don't think there's a consensus against them at all. If you or someone actually intends to start a discussion regarding this, it's only sensible to postpone the request. If not, postponing indefinitely until a discussion takes place (if ever) isn't really sensible. I don't think the issue's ever bothered the community enough to try to establish a consensus against them. The important question is whether or not they're harmful or distracting to the project. I obviously don't think so. SwarmTalk 09:39, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

- That is an error, obviously. SwarmTalk 17:23, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Perhaps this should be discussed at WP:RFC/N prior to fulfillment? I am sympathetic to the view that these names tend to hinder collaboration and provide no particular benefit to the encyclopedia apart from an editor happy that they now have a "cool symbol name" (no doubt negatively offset by however many number of editors annoyed by it). In any case, I see no reason to ignore the hold period: someone having a symbol as a username doesn't particularly improve or maintain the encyclopedia. –xenotalk 13:31, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- I would be more willing to initiate a discussion about symbol usernames in general, rather than an RFC about an individual username. But come on, Xeno, the hold period is simply to give the owner of the account time to protest the usurpation, isn't it? Since the account is blocked it serves no purpose. You know we don't need to follow process for the sake of process. We can use common sense to ignore an unnecessary process.
Forget this damn request(never mind, don't forget!), it's causing more drama then it's worth. I'll start an RFC on it. I didn't make this request because I wanted a cool username, I made it because I wanted to show that these usernames do no harm. I didn't think I'd be checked at the door.

Not done User names are primarily intended for the purpose of collaborating and communicating with other project members. The spade symbol is a neither a glyph in any language nor a standard character on almost every keyboard, and so its use would serve as a hinderance. Pick another name and use the spade symbol as a signature (with it linking to the proper user and talk page, of course) if the spade symbol is so desired. -- Avi (talk) 08:42, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

I'd like the account WMC (see [3] for why (I can give you the long trail of woe if you need details) and [4] for an arb supporting this).
However, account Wmc already exists. I've just put a usurp request on it [5].
Ideally, I'd like Wmc deleted, so I can create WMC. Or, if you have super-powers that can override the checks, just create WMC.
Oh, and please note: I want to keep my current account, which I intend to continue to use. I just want to use WMC as an (acknowledged) alternate.

Taking WMC (talk · contribs) is not out of the question, but note, for consideration, this recent discussion on usernames that differ in case only. I'd guess that requestor only intends to use "WMC" for editing here, and the commons user doesn't appear to edit here, so I guess this would not be too much of an issue.

- Pallet is just a platform that provide a connection to Wikipedia, the magic comes from a editors coding a job to do edits to Wikipedia running on the platform. I want to avoid calling the platform a bot and instead call the jobs coded by editors a bot, to make editors aware that they are coding bots and need to make sure they follow the same polices other bots go through. The edit summery will have the name of the bot running and a link to its discussion page. If the jobs done on the platform are called bots and the platform called has "bot" in the username it makes it harder to explain what is going on.

- If we perform the rename, there is no guarantee that BAG won't just send you right back here to get it changed to something more suitable. Per Wikipedia:BOTPOL#Bot accounts, "it should be immediately clear that its edits are made by an automated account; this is usually accomplished by including the word 'Bot' at the beginning or end of the username". Yes, a descriptive edit summary and a bot flag will, in most cases, make it clear; but in other cases (such as a raw list of contributors to an article), it would not be clear. Would suggest you get clearance from BAG first with respect to the name avoid having to flip-flop back and forth. –xenotalk 13:38, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

- Actually I was going by the reason they gave, "This is my username on other sites" and the fact that User:Fatcud is global. Therefore, if User:Stemcellbaby is User:Fatcud on other wikis, then they are also User:Fatcud here. However, "other sites" may not refer to other wikis. In that case, the usurpation should be fine.

- Please see [8], where a steward wrote -
I'm not aware of a policy that would allow us to usurp an account based on its status as matching a callsign. Further, this diff on ko.wikipedia seems to indicate that the username was not selected as an impersonation, but user initials and the initials of his university/universities. If the existing accounts are usurped by the requesting user (원용), however, it would make sense to have stewards delete the global account to permit reunification. It would be best to explain the situation calmly to the current user of the "DS1SKU" account, however, and ask them to voluntarily relinquish it first. (If it matters, I understand my username has previously been the callsign of a Western United States radio station. Not that I was aware of this fact prior to my Wikipedia involvement.)

On http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:MergeAccount&action=submit I keep seeing: Login unification not complete! From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia No accounts could be confirmed using this password. Once your login is unified, you will be able to log in to any wiki site of the Wikimedia Foundation without creating a new account Read more about unified login… The accounts named "Ingber" on each of the following sites have been automatically attached to the unified account: en.wikipedia.org meta.wikimedia.org The account "Ingber" could not be automatically confirmed as belonging to you on the following sites; most likely they have a different password from your primary account: sv.wikipedia.org
I think I got the idea: I must contact a Bureaucrat associated with sv.wikipedia.org, and I see some listed on: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Anv%C3%A4ndare/bureaucrat
I think I am eligible to apply to "ursurp" Ingber, since on http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=Ingber I see: Users with name Ingber on Wikimedia projects SUL account status Username: Ingber User ID: 4039075 User registration: 14:42, 02 September 2009 Home wiki: enwiki Locked: no Hidden: no SUL admin (secure) • Contributions Database Project Editcount Registration date Flags Blocked SUL status enwiki(c) wikipedia 18 16:58, 26 March 2006 No home wiki metawiki(c) wikimedia 1 21:58, 14 March 2010 No autocreated svwiki(c) wikipedia 0 09:04, 31 October 2008 No unattached Home wiki: enwiki_p
The form which I think is appropriate is formidable enough, but it is in Swedish, and I haven't got a chance of doing anything?
NOTE: I tried to do this back in March 2010, and I submitted a form, but got no reply.
Can anyone at Wikipedia file this for me?
Thanks.
Lester

Not done Sorry, the SUL for this name is owned by simple:user:Jordan. They appear to be inactive since 2008, so you might see over there if there is some way to usurp it and if so, have a steward delete the global account (m:SR/SUL). However, you would still then need to clear it the other project users who are actively using the name as well - so probably best just to choose a different name. –xenotalk 03:48, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
