WonYong to WonRyong

My legal name is chaged. My en: name chang is approved. -- WonYong 06:01, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could you crosslink from another account where you have this id (from that account, on that wiki, post saying this is you here, perhaps on your user page) and post a diff to it? Thanks. Or give a ref to your WikiMatrix if you have one. (see m:User:Lar/WikiMatrix for an example) --Patrícia msg 10:32, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am en:User:WonRyong. Many language' wikipeida IDs are also changed to WonRyong -- WonYong 12:31, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please confirm that you are Commons WonYong on English Wikipedia user page? --EugeneZelenko 14:59, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I confirm it. WonYong = WonRyong en.wikipedia, ko.wikipedia, commons, meta, etc. -- WonRyong 08:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It seems you've created a WonRyong account here. What do you want done with the rename now, since accounts can't be merged? giggy (:O) 05:11, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wish to rename myself in because I hold accounts one other wikis w:User:Nikkeric, and wish to have identical usernames on each. Thank you.--Nikkeric2 17:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[1]. Please verify. Thanks.--Nikkeric2 00:28, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done You need to delete your global account at m:SR/SUL first. I usurped Nikkeric out of the way, so once the global account is deleted this can be finished. giggy (:O) 01:53, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tcie to Gap

I have changed my username on English and Slovenian Wikipedia so I would like to have a common name on all of the projects. | Tcie (talk) 23:59, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could you crosslink from another account where you have this id (from that account, on that wiki, post saying this is you here, perhaps on your user page) and post a diff to it? Thanks. Or give a ref to your WikiMatrix if you have one. (see m:User:Lar/WikiMatrix for an example). Thanks
Basically, can you say "I'm Tcie on Commons" on a project where you are Gap, and then link to it. giggy (:O) 10:23, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK here it goes:

Thanks, | Tcie (talk) 17:03, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All ✓ Done and your old name recreated & blocked for your future protection. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 12:02, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

since user:עידו is my global account, I don't need the other account. Idobi (talk) 11:00, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Albam to Albamhandae

I would like to change username. My current name only Commons is Albam. Meta account, English Wiki account. --Albamhandae (talk) 09:02, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Am I missing something here? You are signing this as Albamhandae & are Albamhandae. No rename would be possible as you are who you want to be? --Herby talk thyme 09:05, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In fact, I would like to move my contributions and logs Albam to Albamhandae. --Albamhandae (talk) 10:05, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK - we could have renamed your old account. However as you created a new one which now has contributions we cannot merge the accounts. I do not think it would be possible to get you newer account deleted at Meta as it does have contributions (which would be lost). Sorry --Herby talk thyme 16:03, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete newer account request in Meta. --Albamhandae (talk) 08:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Fabio azevedo to Lechatjaune

I would like to have my account user:Fabio azevedo renamed to user:Lechatjaune because it is the name I use in other wikimedia projects including wiki-pt where I am a sysop. Thank you. Fabio azevedo (talk) 16:52, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Before we can do this, you need to go to your userpage on another wiki (where you have the desired username), and while logged in, edit that page to say "I am requesting a rename on Commons." (and mention your Commons username while you're there.) Save the page, get a diff, and post it here. If you have one, a wikimatrix (like m:User:Lar/WikiMatrix) also works for this purpose. All this is just to prove that you're who you say you are and make everyone's life easier. Thanks. giggy (:O) 11:35, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I can provide you with two diffs: when I requested the deletion of my SUL account on Meta, I mentioned the name of my account on Commons (see here). Also I have just produced a diff as you needed on my wiki-pt talk page. diff. Thank you, Fabio azevedo (talk) 14:50, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The diffs are fine but I see that User:Lechatjaune has been automatically created by SUL I guess (here). This means we can't rename you (as far as I know) and you will need to get the account deleted again at Meta (and not then accidentally login to Commons as Lechatjaune) - unless I'm missing something? Thanks --Herby talk thyme 12:06, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, the global account had been deleted, but the user got logged in here automatically (not his fault, if he clicks the site he is logged in), before sul was deleted. To rename him, the automatic account has to be moved out of the way first. Thanks, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 15:05, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again birdy. All ✓ Done and your old name recreated & blocked for your future protection. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 15:42, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much, Lechatjaune (talk) 15:49, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
