Wikipedia:Changing username/SUL
 | This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump. |
 | This page is no longer accepting new requests. If you would like to change your username, please use Special:GlobalRenameRequest or Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple for simple requests, or meta:Steward requests/Username changes for usurpations. |
This page was a temporary forum for the processing of username changes that related to the migration to single unified login (SUL) between June 2008 and April 2010. Prior to this, it served as a holding pen for requests that could not be completed due to bugs in the SUL renaming process.
Instructions
For the instructions that were in use at the time this page was closed to new requests, see Wikipedia:Changing username/SUL/Front matter/Instructions
Notes
- When the rename has been completed, your account will have been renamed, and any contributions you have made (including deleted contributions) will be reattributed to your new account as a background process. Your account preferences, watchlist contents, password, etc. will all be preserved, and your user and user talk pages will have been moved to the new name.
- Note: The process responsible for reallocating old contributions is currently dependent upon the job queue mechanism. As such, you may find old contributions do not immediately appear under your new account; this is perfectly normal. Updates should take at most a day to complete, although the length of time will vary according to the size of the job queue on this wiki, and the status of the server processes which process this queue.
- The change will appear in the user rename log and the request will be moved to the archives in the interest of transparency. It is not possible to rename accounts without an entry being created in the log.
- This change will not affect signatures you have already left on talk pages, or other places where you signed your username with ~~~~. Those pages will continue to display your signature (including the link to your old username) unless edited manually.
- Be aware: Once you have been renamed, your old account will no longer exist and may potentially be recreated by a third party. This is true even if your old account pages have been redirected towards your new account. To guard against impersonation, you may wish to recreate the old account yourself.
A few users have agreed to provide assistance with the mechanics of this process. If you wish to assist as well, please read the linked page carefully.

91.66.255.209 (talk) 21:24, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Reason: All other accounts of me are usurped, only not this one. I am not the person, who creates this Engl. account, but as one can see here, this English user only edited one time on the Engl. Wikipedia and this was happened 2004. Since then he/she seems to be inactive.
It will be really nice, if someone can help me by usurping this English account to my main account de:Benutzer:Informatik, because I want to edit on the English Wikipedia with my user name "Informatik" and not by using an IP or an other name. (My account is active. :-))
Thank you in advance!
Greetings --91.66.255.209 (talk) 21:24, 17 November 2008 (UTC) alias de:Benutzer:Informatik
PS: The german Wikipedia has redirected me to this page. see here

My homewiki is the german Wikipedia (de:Benutzer:Lychee). I'm mainly working with images and because images from here are often transfered to DE it would be great if I could make changes here with the same username (NowCommons for instance). An account with my name exists here, but it doesn't have any edits. -- 86.59.60.209 (talk) 16:22, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
