I am placing this request on behalf of
User:MisterWiki, an indefinitely blocked who contacted me on IRC indicating that he wanted his account renamed. The block will of course still be active on the new account, and redirects will make clear the connection between the two users. I'm not sure what good this does the user, but he seems to want it done, which, in the absence of a good reason to turn him down, is good enough for me. However, since I don't know the circumstances of his block, I thought it best to ask for input from the other bureaucrats. If there are no objections within, say, two days, I'll change his name. —

I suppose he wants to unify, but that doesn't do much good considering this account is indef blocked. NativeForeignerTalk/Contribs/Vote! 05:50, 9 April 2010 (UTC)reply
He is rather active on a few other projects. He did mention to me a couple of days ago on IRC that he was looking at appealing his ENWP block at the end of April or maybe May. This is per a unification as he was renamed on ENWN on 6th
[1], on ENWT on 6th
[2], on SimpleWP Thursday morning (UTC)
[3], on Meta a few hours ago
[4] and has filed CHU requests on other projects where he is not blocked and has a significant number of contributions: CAWP
[5], ESWN
[6], LAWP
[7], and RUWP
[8]. I have not found a request to be renamed on Commons. He has re-created on other projects once those renamings had been done so it is likely to be the same here & the re-creation would need to be blocked too.
His block comes from wanting to change user names to Diego Grez a few months ago and when asked about it he confessed to owning the blocked
User:Diegogrez account.
User:MisterWiki got blocked for socking/block evasion. After that was resolved then there was this edit
[9] a little later which i can't see that resulted in another block, and then calling admins nazis in this edit
[10], which he later struck, that earned him a 10 year block which was later changed to infinity.
He seems to be making an honest attempt at being good elsewhere and he is using his talk page to draft an improved
Villa Los Navegantes which is what we had been primarily discussing on IRC. I realise Dan asked for bureaucrat's opinions but i am offering mine: A sign trust and respect to ask and if granted would give him hope that someday he may be allowed to again edit more than his talk page; also better to keep his main WMF accounts under one name.

The SUL was set up a day ago with ESWP as home and this account here is one of the unattached projects where the account is currently held by someone else. In this case the current account owner, almost 4 years ago, spent 3 days vandalising the project as a protest.

I am placing this request on behalf of
User:MisterWiki, an indefinitely blocked who contacted me on IRC indicating that he wanted his account renamed. The block will of course still be active on the new account, and redirects will make clear the connection between the two users. I'm not sure what good this does the user, but he seems to want it done, which, in the absence of a good reason to turn him down, is good enough for me. However, since I don't know the circumstances of his block, I thought it best to ask for input from the other bureaucrats. If there are no objections within, say, two days, I'll change his name. —

I suppose he wants to unify, but that doesn't do much good considering this account is indef blocked. NativeForeignerTalk/Contribs/Vote! 05:50, 9 April 2010 (UTC)reply
He is rather active on a few other projects. He did mention to me a couple of days ago on IRC that he was looking at appealing his ENWP block at the end of April or maybe May. This is per a unification as he was renamed on ENWN on 6th
[1], on ENWT on 6th
[2], on SimpleWP Thursday morning (UTC)
[3], on Meta a few hours ago
[4] and has filed CHU requests on other projects where he is not blocked and has a significant number of contributions: CAWP
[5], ESWN
[6], LAWP
[7], and RUWP
[8]. I have not found a request to be renamed on Commons. He has re-created on other projects once those renamings had been done so it is likely to be the same here & the re-creation would need to be blocked too.
His block comes from wanting to change user names to Diego Grez a few months ago and when asked about it he confessed to owning the blocked
User:Diegogrez account.
User:MisterWiki got blocked for socking/block evasion. After that was resolved then there was this edit
[9] a little later which i can't see that resulted in another block, and then calling admins nazis in this edit
[10], which he later struck, that earned him a 10 year block which was later changed to infinity.
He seems to be making an honest attempt at being good elsewhere and he is using his talk page to draft an improved
Villa Los Navegantes which is what we had been primarily discussing on IRC. I realise Dan asked for bureaucrat's opinions but i am offering mine: A sign trust and respect to ask and if granted would give him hope that someday he may be allowed to again edit more than his talk page; also better to keep his main WMF accounts under one name.

Conte
I have already request the usurpation at the page
WP:USURP and they told me
"Please see m:Help:Unified login. -FASTILY (TALK) 18:37, 16 April 2010 (UTC)"
and
"Looks like they are asking the 'crats to vacate the unused username that was created in 2006. –xenotalk 18:42, 16 April 2010 (UTC)"
but I didn't find the way to put the link to the username "Conte" (on wikipedia italy) in the request. if I write "Conte" (for wikipedia italy account), I don't see the link to my wikipedia account on WPItaly, but only an IP address. Maybe I have to write a suffix to the username link? Or maybe I have to register a new account on wikipedia english, then try to usurp the username "Conte", and then unificate it with my global account?
