Jimmy Wales → Jimmy Wales (IMPOSTOR)
- I see your point. My concern is somebody would look at an edit these accounts made and think it was Jimbo or an admen making them, though thats probably not much of a serious risk. If it would not be easy to rename these accounts then it is probably not worth the effort. --

- Renaming of vandal accounts has taken place in the past, it does not present a technical burden. Usually it is done for disparaging usernames rather than impersonations; but in these two 'higher profile' impersonations, I think it should be done as well. –

The Rambling Man (

- I suppose the problem is that, in that five years, at least one person saw these accounts, and took the time to examine them only to come to the conclusion that they were, indeed, imposters. Renaming them and registering the accounts with the same redirects but zero edits might make it easier on the next bloke who comes across them. Just my 2c. It's NBD either way. –

- My feeling is that this rename can't be carried out. The jpwiki user has the global claim and is actively editing. The requestor could ask the jpwiki user – could work something out with them – but before that, this is probably a no. The practice is typically to decline requests that infringe on an active user's global claim. It might be prudent to get a third crat opinion, just for the sake of certainty. —

Oh, fair enough :) I didn't realize there was a global claim on it. I didn't see any other claims made on the en Oiseau talk page other than mine.
If you wish then I would be happy to ask the jp user if they would relinquish the claim, and if not, then as you say it might be best to leave the account dormant, because of conflicting claims (although could you give me a link to this other claim? I cannot locate it).
Beyond that and in my own defense, I humbly submit that I also am active... if you add up my editing (about 20 in one month, compared to their 50 in a year), my pace is not all that different, if not more fervent... although I admit all of this unexpected turmoil does dampen my spirits a bit. I see all the other approvals and could not see any substantial difference with mine. I've received no email notifications of a challenge or global claim from the jp user, or from any crats, nor have I been able to locate any global claims to the en name online :/
I have been honest and upfront about not being the jp user too, and if there are any additional submissions you wish that I could post in order to help prove my identity on the other 4 wikis, I would be more than glad to provide them... feel free to ask.
In the meantime, I would be happy to ask the jp user if they would not mind letting me claim the en name.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/特別:ウィキメール/Oiseau). I hope these duties are in compliance with your requests of me.
If they do answer no, then I would be glad (as MBisanz mentioned above at 6:14, 6 Sept. 2009) to accept the name Oiseaux instead, though Oiseau is still preferable unless the jp user disputes it, in which case I believe the fair thing would be to leave the account dormant. Thanks,

...My most humble pardons, but please may I ask some questions?
- According to the bot below (which someone else initiated here a few days ago), I have met the qualifications for the rename on the enWiki. Does this mean we are in a 7 day waiting period now for the conversion from the time stamp on the bot?
- I placed the global claim before the jpUser, and followed the protocol of contacting them. They never contacted me, but today I see that my homewiki has been changed from fr (which it was originally) to jp ... is something unethical going on somewhere?
- Oiseau is the French word for bird. I would like to see the homewiki returned there, please.
- Was a 3rd crat ever asked to help with this, as you suggested above?
- ...The distilled version of this entire pursuit is I just want to synchronize my edits between my accounts at the Meta, the Commons, the enWiktionary, the FrWiki, and the enWiki, which is the only missing link. I placed my request well in advance on an account that is dormant/abandoned and followed all the rules that I could find. Just peeking in here to see if there is anything else you need, or just see if there is anything in motion, and if it is still a few days more in a waiting period. Thanks

.. - Thanks Dan. If he/she doesn't respond soon, we can just drop it and file it, and let the enWiki Oiseau just remain as it is, if you please. That is unless you feel enough time will have elapsed to complete the Changing Username for me at that point.
Two things also I've been wondering, just thinking out loud here for a moment.. I keep kicking myself for not going ahead with filing my own SUL when I was considering it a few days before the jp user. I was under the impression that if other people were actively using the names, you either could not or should not encroach on them. I was not aware you could file it and the software would still initiate the process on unclaimed accounts.
Here is the evidence that I was going to claim the global SUL of Oiseau nearly a week before the jp user, but I did not push because I did not know I could do so at that point..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Changing_username/SUL/Rejected/3#None_.28SUL_request.29_.E2.86.92_Oiseau (it is in the rejected file only because I withdrew it and didn't pursue it).
The other thing I've been kicking myself about is that I keep wondering if I might actually be the enWiki user but lost my password years ago. I can't be certain though and I've been looking at a few old computers to see if I can find any records of that ;P ..Thanks again anyways for your modest vigil, and I guess I will check back here to see how things are going after a day or two.
..Thanks again,

Dan... Thank you again for your concern.
The most frustrating thing in all this is simply the way it feels very one-sided, as if no one is requiring the same of the jp user as has been required of me.
- - in order to initiate global unification, the interface says that one must login at the home wiki. I owned the home wiki last month... when was that given away without asking me?, even though I've had to ask the jp user for a blessing re: the en wiki (which is not even theirs, and we still never got a response from them until you asked them)
- - the jp user never contacted me before taking my home wiki from my fr account... when did this happen and how did it happen and why didn't they have to ask me, as I've been waiting and waiting and having to ask them for this and that? Didn't I follow the protocols, and why didn't they?
- - the clue bot said I met all qualifications for my request, to ONLY claim the en wiki, but it hasn't happened. I think the fair thing would be to deliver on that request, or if it remains in dispute, to leave the account alone.
re: having another user name... I'd love to know the answers to the above questions, but if they are too much bother to look into, I did say (near the beginning of this inquiry) that the name Oiseaux would be fine as an alternative (they have only made one small edit many years ago), but I am still left with a rather unfulfilled, betrayed feeling ... as I'd like to know where the missteps were, and if there was anything I could have done otherwise, or if perhaps something actually went wrong in the process (like giving away my home wiki without asking me) which could be fixed/reversed.
OiseauTemp (
talk) 18:28, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

- Not done. I am sorry but a global account was created by the jawiki user (the decision about which account is the "home wiki" is made by automatically by the software based on which instance of a given name has the most edits - no one decided to give the homr wiki to someone else) and so they now have the best claim to usurp the name "Oiseau" on other projects. If I renamed the current user "Oiseau" on this project, the name would be reserved to the global account which is controlled by the jawiki editor. You will also find that you are unable to create accounts called "Oiseau" on projects where that name is not yet taken. I am not sure what the entire history of these issues are, but if it is right that the software once recognised your account has the home wiki, you could have created a global account then yourself via
Special:MergeAccount before the jawiki user did so.
- I am also not willing to rename you to "Oiseaux" as the home wiki for that account is a user on frwiki who has made non-trivial edits on that project. If you would like to be renamed to a different name, which doesn't have significant edits to any Wikimedia project, you should make a new request.
