  • That's right. There is no way to merge the contribution histories of two accounts. No bureucrat, steward, or anyone else can do it (admins do not have access to the renameuser tool) - it's just not possible in MediaWiki. The closest one can get is usurpation, but that shunts the contribs of the targeted account to a random username (it does not merge them) and will not be done on accounts with GFDL-significant edits.

  • Follow-up comment: It is the lack of any links in your signature that is causing the greatest concern. Without any links it simply appears to be a typo. As you can see from above, SineBot is following you around Wikipedia marking all of your signatures as "unsigned comment added by -- -- --" so that other people will know it is a valid user name and not a typo. This general comment is now in a few places with the hope that you will see one of them. The other problem was the type of linking that JC and myself used at the top of your talk page.

Wexeb → Martín Coba Pulido

 Clerk note: clerk This would appear to be a rename in another language and having the corresponding English account here renamed based on this page move log from PTWP. Also see pt:Wikipedia:Renomeação_de_conta#Wexeb_.E2.86.92_Mart.C3.ADn_Coba_Pulido The pt:User:Wexeb account was re-created on PTWP after the rename was done there per the usual impersonation reasons. This user's home wiki was PTWP before the rename there detached his home wiki from the Wexeb SUL. According to the PTWP rename the user is changing from an anonymous name to his real name. My Portuguese is not great but i am pretty sure on this.
Also this user is blocked on ESWP as a sockpuppet but my Spanish is not good enough to read all of that. It seems to have something to do with a comment on a YouTube account and the user name "Wexeb" appearing in various places on the web and different eswp users claiming it to be themselves. [8] But then this user is blocked as the sockpuppet of a different user on Commons. [9]. Yet that user that Wexeb is accused of being a sockpuppet of is not blocked on Commons. It might be handy to have someone who is fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and has access to deleted pages and CU logs review this on a cross-wiki level. From what i comprehend of the languages and with a little help from Google Translate this seems to have the potential for being a huge mix up. delirious & lost~hugs~ 23:24, 26 January 2010 (UTC) reply

No bureucrat, steward, or anyone else can do it (admins do not have access to the renameuser tool) - it's just not possible in MediaWiki. The closest one can get is usurpation, but that shunts the contribs of the targeted account to a random username (it does not merge them) and will not be done on accounts with GFDL-significant edits.

Sethasa → Seth Asa

  •  Clerk note: clerk I advised Seth about the question from Avi a couple of days ago. In my opinion the user would prefer his real name, as evidenced by his request here, his signature, and by the content of his user page, though i cannot say if he is aware of the implications. His contribs and signature are self-promotional; i have asked him to remove the url from his signature. delirious & lost~hugs~ 08:12, 10 January 2010 (UTC) reply
  •  Not done as there has been no response for over a week. Additionally, because there has been no response, it appears this editor is here only to promote themselves, so they have been blocked. If they wish to come back, they can request a new username at that time. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 15:43, 20 January 2010 (UTC) reply
  • Just to throw this out there, can we really prohibit someone from using their own real name if they agree to contribute other than self-promotion on their user page? In this case i kept hoping Seth would contribute more than his self-promoting user page. If he does decide to come back and contribute content i don't think we should force an anonymous user name upon him. delirious & lost~hugs~
  • I agree, but at this point they aren't responding. If they wish to change their username at some future, point, we can consider it then. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 01:46, 21 January 2010 (UTC) reply

The Dunnie → user4289374892

-- -- -- → 1 2 3 4

 Clerk note: clerkThis name was already approved as a rename by Avi. See the previous rename in the archive. I also clerked that. Personally, i feel that if a bureaucrat approves the rename to User:-- -- -- it is a bit much for an admin to then block the user and force a 2nd rename. Nowhere in WP:USERNAME does it state that -- -- -- is a violation. A non-English user name is hardly reason to block someone. It is Morse code for "M M M". delirious & lost~hugs~ 21:07, 26 January 2010 (UTC) reply

  •  Not done The name "-- -- --" is acceptable and this user should not be blocked. -- Avi ( talk) 21:27, 26 January 2010 (UTC) reply
  • User's response: Thank you, Avi and delirious & lost. I agree with you wholheartedly. However, I am not looking to put up a fight. I will let the bureaucrats decide on an appropriate username. -- -- -- 21:58, 26 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by -- -- -- ( talkcontribs)
  • Follow-up comment: It is the lack of any links in your signature that is causing the greatest concern. Without any links it simply appears to be a typo. As you can see from above, SineBot is following you around Wikipedia marking all of your signatures as "unsigned comment added by -- -- --" so that other people will know it is a valid user name and not a typo. This general comment is now in a few places with the hope that you will see one of them. The other problem was the type of linking that JC and myself used at the top of your talk page. I didn't realise that it would imply a bureaucrat had issue with your new user name once the rename had been done. I'm sorry. delirious & lost~hugs~ 01:30, 27 January 2010 (UTC) reply

 Bureaucrat note: Can you post (from the "Saqib Qayyum" account) confirmation that both accounts are owned by the same person? Also, the "Saqib Qayyum" account has more edits than "S Q" does; can you not just cease using the current account? (there's no way to merge the two accounts together; you'd be renamed, but the existing 932 edits would not still be attributed to the "Saqib Qayyum" name) EVula // talk // // 17:40, 25 January 2010 (UTC) reply
I wanna attribute edits, I made using User: S Q to requested username User:Saqib Qayyum.-- Saki talk 18:00, 25 January 2010 (UTC) reply

 Bureaucrat note: I think you are misunderstanding how this works. There is no way to merge the edits into one account. The software itself does not allow that to be done. You are free to use one account or the other, but the edits made under each account can not be merged. This is a technical limitation of the Mediawiki software. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 22:09, 26 January 2010 (UTC) reply

Wexeb → Martín Coba Pulido

 Clerk note: clerk This would appear to be a rename in another language and having the corresponding English account here renamed based on this page move log from PTWP. Also see pt:Wikipedia:Renomeação_de_conta#Wexeb_.E2.86.92_Mart.C3.ADn_Coba_Pulido The pt:User:Wexeb account was re-created on PTWP after the rename was done there per the usual impersonation reasons. This user's home wiki was PTWP before the rename there detached his home wiki from the Wexeb SUL. According to the PTWP rename the user is changing from an anonymous name to his real name. My Portuguese is not great but i am pretty sure on this.
Also this user is blocked on ESWP as a sockpuppet but my Spanish is not good enough to read all of that. It seems to have something to do with a comment on a YouTube account and the user name "Wexeb" appearing in various places on the web and different eswp users claiming it to be themselves. [8] But then this user is blocked as the sockpuppet of a different user on Commons. [9]. Yet that user that Wexeb is accused of being a sockpuppet of is not blocked on Commons. It might be handy to have someone who is fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and has access to deleted pages and CU logs review this on a cross-wiki level. From what i comprehend of the languages and with a little help from Google Translate this seems to have the potential for being a huge mix up. delirious & lost~hugs~ 23:24, 26 January 2010 (UTC) reply

 Clerk note:Well, if you have logged in as the new name, even accidentally, that means you can use it; since you don't seem to have many edits under this name, why not just switch to the Hebrew name yourself?
