SUL renames

TBC → Tree Biting Conspiracy

  • Current name: User:TBC
  • New name: User:Tree Biting Conspiracy
  • Reason: Trying to resolve a global account conflict (I use Tree Biting Conspiracy on the English wikipedia). Would it be possible to merge the edit histories (accidentally edited here under Tree Biting Conspiracy a few times due to global account problems)?--TBC 20:09, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  Done(ish) Edit histories of separate accounts cannot be merged. I "rotated" your account names so Tree Biting Conspiracy is now TBC and TBC is now Tree Biting Conspiracy. You will need to remerge the accounts to your global accounts (in special:Preferences). -- Creol(talk) 03:07, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"D D" → "Deepak D'Souza"

I have already created a SUL account with the name Deepak D'Souza. I have an existing ID on Simple Wikipedia which I would like to rename to "Deepak D'Souza". I have not made any edits using the SUL on Simple Wikipedia. Please see this thread[1]. Please let me know if it is possible to rename my account without deleting the SUL ID. Thanks. --D D (talk) 11:56, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename is possible (move out the autocreate and move in D D), but confirmation is require. (Note as left on the users talk page on en:wp) -- Creol(talk) 04:15, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  Done - Per meta request for account rename by the SUL account (as confirmation), accounts D D and Deepak D'Souza were switched. All edits by this user are now under the SUL account. -- Creol(talk) 05:15, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  Done Normally it is advisable to leave a message on your home wiki to confirm the request, but as the SUL util shows simple:Ruga is not attached to the global account (which is it:Ruga) it really is not that important (global automatically protects against usurp&impersonate tactics) -- Creol(talk) 13:46, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Current name:Baseball16 Requested name:ThePageChanger

? sorry, but, what user name do you want? --vector ^_^ (talk) 09:21, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah.. this one kind of confused me also. "Something like" is a little (liddle?) too vague to act on. -- Creol(talk) 11:05, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I thought he wanted the user name "ThePageChanger" Cassandra 03:22, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, he specifically asked for something like ThePageChanger. He did not ask to be changed to ThePageChanger That leaves a lot of options and makes us out to be the bad guys when we pick something like ThePageChanger (say.. TheNameChanger or TheDiaperChanger or ThePainChaser or TheBeerChaser or some such) and he doesn't like it and blames us for giving him a bad name. -- Creol(talk) 04:28, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, this is en:User:Stan Shebs. It seems that User:Stan Shebs is some kind of imposter; I don't know the password, no email is set, and the one edit with text is not written the way I would write it. It's also been long inactive, and is the only username in the way of SUL nirvana. So if someone could usurp that I would much appreciate.
