Wikiquote:Changing username/Usurpation

From Wikiquote
Jump to: navigation, search
Exquisite-opera.png This page is an official policy on Wikiquote.
It has wide acceptance among editors and is considered a standard that all users should follow.
Please do not make significant changes to this page without prior discussion.

This page is for requests to usurp accounts that already exist. If you want just to rename your account, please see Wikiquote:Changing username.

  • Check that the username you are requesting already exists. This may be done via the search function at Special:Listusers; if the name appears in the list, even if the link is red, the name is taken. Be sure to capitalize the first letter of the username, as the software does not permit usernames that begin with a lowercase letter.
  • Check the edits of the targeting account. If the account has edits significant enough for which their history should be retained to comply with CC-BY-SA and GFDL, your usurpation request may not be processed. If you think it arguable, go forward.
  • Put your request Wikiquote:Changing username/Usurpation via this link. Fill the blank of the format following, and just save:
=== [[User:Your name|]] --> [[User:Target name|]] === 
*'''Your current user name''': {{user|''your name''}}
*'''Target name''': {{user|''their name''}}
*'''Target was contacted''': On Talk / Both on Talk and by Mail (select one)
  • You have to leave a message to the affected user on their talk page, and if possible, by wiki e-mail too, to give them a chance to challenge. If the affected party disagrees, he or she may object by blanking the message of the notification of request for usurpation, or by objecting explicitly on the talk page or here. In that case, your request may not be fulfilled.
  • In case of usurpation of an impostor or for SUL, indicate that you are requesting for usurpation here on English Wikiquote on your user page at your home wiki and include the link to that page in your request.
  • No usurpation is granted automatically unless the target account has caused only harm with malicious intent to the project or the target account belongs to you.　If you are convinced the target was created in bad faith, you are welcome to address your concern, but it is up to the local bureaucrats.
  • If your request for usurpation is not a clear case of impersonation, your request may be fulfilled under one of the following conditions:
  1. the affected party agrees to rename.
  2. the affected party did no significant edits for which their history should be retained to comply with GFDL and at least three weeks pass from your message to the affected party without response.
  • Check back periodically to see whether a bureaucrat has fulfilled your request or whether additional information is required. Do not be surprised if you suddenly cannot log in to your old account; this merely indicates that your request has been fulfilled.

[edit] Changing username / request for usurpation

Submit your request at the bottom of the page.

Note to bureaucrats: Any request the target user was notified before Monday 23 January 2012 at 17:39(UTC), is eligible for process, unless the request is challenged.

[edit] Fys --> Sam Blacketer

This is a slightly unusual request but is it possible to take my existing account and join it up with my SUL? The SUL account does exist at WQ but it has no edits. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 17:41, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure but will give a try (but I'm afraid we cannot). Can you give us an evidence you are Sam Blacketer on enwiki or somewhere, editing your enwiki user talk or somewhere, just for the record? Thanks. --Aphaia 07:12, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Pesare amol → Mehdi

Per SUL request [1].My real name is Mehdi and I would like rename my username to Mehdi in en@wikiquote. My name has changed to Mehdi in fa@wiki[2] and en@wiki [3].--Pesare amol 09:15, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
You have indicated that the target was contacted on talk and by mail. However, nothing has been posted on the User's talk page. Please attend to this - the three week notification period begins running with the posting of the required notification. See User talk:Pepper (usurped) for an example of a correct notification. Cheers! BD2412 T 17:50, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
Pardon Me. But this period for change the username is very unusual. Three week?!! My request has been confirmed very fast to another wiki! For example en@wiki, es@wiki, bg@wiki, fr@wiki, meta@wiki, sr@wiki & ... . This period is very long. please confirm my request soon. --Pesare amol 19:07, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
Our confirmation period is longer than those of some other wikis because our user population is more itinerant. If you can get the current name-holder to agree to the usurpation, we can do this immediately. Otherwise, I think you will find that three weeks passes by very swiftly. Indeed, the older you get, the faster it goes. Cheers! BD2412 T 19:26, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks dear BD. I and My bot are very busy in fa@wiki. please don't forget Me after 3 week. sincerely: --(Mehdi)Pesare amol 20:46, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
Please confirm My request. Three weeks were spent.--Pesare amol 02:54, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks a lot dear BD @};- --Mehdi 17:17, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

I note that you posted a notice on this user's talk page on September 25, 2011, and have received no response. However, I think that we must still follow our formal process and wait three weeks from the posting of the notice of that request on this page. Cheers! BD2412 T 19:48, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
