Sergei ← Sergei2

I don't have an account yet. As you can see from my contributions, I have been an anonymous user for some time. I would like to usurp a zero-edits User:Sergei because I am ru Wikipedia Sergei ( contribs), ru Wiktionary Sergei ( contribs) plus several other projects. I'm not asking to be renamed from my IP address nor to transfer my contributions. Can I create a new account and be renamed to Sergei? 193.124.238.36 ( talk) 19:11, 1 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Leonardo.stabile ← Leonardo.stabile temp

I'm asking for usurpation to complete the unified login process. I'm a sysop at pt.wiki since the end of 2006. The same user at Commons and Meta belongs to me. The person that created this account at en.wiki clearly created this account to affect me, doing the same at different ga projects and simple.wiki, in the same week. This user does not have valid contributions.

According to the instructions, I have to leave a message to the target account with {{ usurpation requested}}, but it's user's talk page has been protected to prevent creation. -- Leonardo.stabile temp ( talk) 00:11, 27 March 2008 (UTC) reply

Note:
  • The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Due to licensing concerns, this may be a barrier to usurpation.
  • The target username has Wikipedia user logs entries. Due to licensing concerns, this may be a barrier to usurpation.
  • This user was created less than 6 months ago, such usernames may not be usurped. You can file another request when the username is older than 6 months. Alex fusco 5 00:14, 27 March 2008 (UTC) reply
A question about the GFDL issues: "GFDL significant edit" means this single edit at the main namespace, or everything, including the user talk contributions? -- Leonardo.stabile temp ( talk) 00:23, 27 March 2008 (UTC) reply
Actually its the edits , the block log, and the fact that the account was created less than 6 months ago However I believe it will be up to bureaucrat discretion Alex fusco 5 00:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC) reply

Half done. This request should be completed with the "2" link when the developers fix the bug that prevents renaming to a unified account. — Dan | talk 17:48, 5 April 2008 (UTC) reply

I was able to login using the unified account. I'm not sure whether it was a mistake: now it's clear that the "temp" account cannot be renamed since my SUL is registered at en.wiki; perhaps a system to merge redundant accounts (using the same password and email verification of SUL) would be nice =). Well, thanks for the usurpation! -- Leonardo.stabile ( talk) 08:28, 6 April 2008 (UTC) reply
 Done - account renamed out of the way. As the temp account has no contributions you'd want to keep, I'd say we're done here. WjB scribe 18:34, 16 April 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Addendum: It might not be possible to rename "Kju (de)" to "Kju" because i already started the unification process which protected the Username "Kju". I just experienced this at spanish wikipedia, they were forbidden by the system to rename my other account into "Kju". If this happens, please just rename "Kju" into something different, this will at least free "Kju" for use by me with the global account.

  • Reason: I'm currently editing under my real name. I originally did this as a brazen act of honesty, however now my Wikipedia pages are the first hits when I Google myself. Since I edit strongly debated articles related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (as well as innocuous ones in Computer Science, Numerics and other Simulation-related topics), this might not always be the best first impression for people who don't know me. Since I am pursuing and academic career and have several publications to my name, I will more often than not be "Googled" by complete strangers.

I request the usurpation mainly in the light of upcoming SUL, so I can use my global user name on the english wikipedia too. I am well known as Duesentrieb on several projects, including de:wp (admin), commons (admin), mediawiki (admin), as well as meta. User:Duesentrieb on de.wikibooks.org is not me (inactive since 2004), User:Düsentrieb (with umlaut) on de:wp is not me either. Some of my edits on commons seems to have been copied to the incubator via transwiki.

The present User:Duesentrieb has made only one edit ever, which was in November 2003 and is IMHO not copyrightable because trievial, and thus does not require attribution ( diff).

As noted above, the requested account has made on edit, it 2003. However, as best I can tell, the information amended in the edit still exists in the article today. So it is probably a GFDL significant edit. However, Gearloose has said that he is a active editor and administrator on several wikis, which adds the SUL and harmonizing aspect. So a bureaucrat would need to make a discretion ruling here. seresin | wasn't he just...? 02:25, 19 March 2008 (UTC) reply
To clarify why I believe that attribution is not required: a license applies to copyrightable works; the edit in question is imho not copyrightable work: it merely adjusts two numbers, stating a fact (facts are not copyrightable) and thus lacks creative originality. Besides the legal aspect, I doubt the original editor is terribly keen to have that trivial edit attributed to a nickname that is not used/known, and that has no connection to his real name anyway.
Thanks -- G. Gearloose (?!) 09:23, 19 March 2008 (UTC) reply
Addendum: please understand that I don't take license compliance and attribution of contributions lightly (as a commons admin, I have dealt a lot with these things). I just believe that no harm would be done (legally and ethically) by changing the nick to which this edit is attributed. The discontinuity it introduces seems very minor compared to the inconsitencies introducdes by the transwiki-process, not to speak of attribution getting lost or obfuscated during article marge, split or translation. The problems with transiwki (and thus also translations) will be all but solved by SUL, and in this light, it's especially important to have consistent global user names. -- G. Gearloose (?!) 09:43, 19 March 2008 (UTC) reply

Leonardo.stabile ← Leonardo.stabile temp

I'm asking for usurpation to complete the unified login process. I'm a sysop at pt.wiki since the end of 2006. The same user at Commons and Meta belongs to me. The person that created this account at en.wiki clearly created this account to affect me, doing the same at different ga projects and simple.wiki, in the same week. This user does not have valid contributions.

According to the instructions, I have to leave a message to the target account with {{ usurpation requested}}, but it's user's talk page has been protected to prevent creation. -- Leonardo.stabile temp ( talk) 00:11, 27 March 2008 (UTC) reply

Note:
  • The target username has made edits to Wikipedia. Due to licensing concerns, this may be a barrier to usurpation.

I was able to login using the unified account. I'm not sure whether it was a mistake: now it's clear that the "temp" account cannot be renamed since my SUL is registered at en.wiki; perhaps a system to merge redundant accounts (using the same password and email verification of SUL) would be nice =).

I request the usurpation mainly in the light of upcoming SUL, so I can use my global user name on the english wikipedia too. I am well known as Duesentrieb on several projects, including de:wp (admin), commons (admin), mediawiki (admin), as well as meta. User:Duesentrieb on de.wikibooks.org is not me (inactive since 2004), User:Düsentrieb (with umlaut) on de:wp is not me either. Some of my edits on commons seems to have been copied to the incubator via transwiki.

The present User:Duesentrieb has made only one edit ever, which was in November 2003 and is IMHO not copyrightable because trievial, and thus does not require attribution ( diff).

So it is probably a GFDL significant edit. However, Gearloose has said that he is a active editor and administrator on several wikis, which adds the SUL and harmonizing aspect. So a bureaucrat would need to make a discretion ruling here. seresin | wasn't he just...? 02:25, 19 March 2008 (UTC) reply
To clarify why I believe that attribution is not required: a license applies to copyrightable works; the edit in question is imho not copyrightable work: it merely adjusts two numbers, stating a fact (facts are not copyrightable) and thus lacks creative originality. Besides the legal aspect, I doubt the original editor is terribly keen to have that trivial edit attributed to a nickname that is not used/known, and that has no connection to his real name anyway.
Thanks -- G. Gearloose (?!) 09:23, 19 March 2008 (UTC) reply
Addendum: please understand that I don't take license compliance and attribution of contributions lightly (as a commons admin, I have dealt a lot with these things). I just believe that no harm would be done (legally and ethically) by changing the nick to which this edit is attributed. The discontinuity it introduces seems very minor compared to the inconsitencies introducdes by the transwiki-process, not to speak of attribution getting lost or obfuscated during article marge, split or translation. The problems with transiwki (and thus also translations) will be all but solved by SUL, and in this light, it's especially important to have consistent global user names. -- G. Gearloose (?!) 09:43, 19 March 2008 (UTC) reply
