Incorrect information

The message beside my request on this page currently says "Antragsteller en:User:MTC hat noch keinen globalen Account", which appears to mean "en:user:MTC has no global account yet". However, I now have a global account named MTC, so that information should be updated. - M132T003C 10:41, 31. Mai 2008 (CEST)

Future plans

Are there any plans on resolving these conflicts? I've just become a steward so I'd very much like to merge all my accounts. --Erwin85 15:57, 28. Feb. 2009 (CET)

The account in request has 157 valid edits incl. file uploads. Far too much for an usurpation. I do not see a solution unless the user gives his OK or the Foundation adopts a general resolution for all projects. Sorry. — Raymond ^{Disk. Bew.} 16:45, 28. Feb. 2009 (CET)

OK, thanks for the info. --Erwin85 09:51, 1. Mär. 2009 (CET)

How about the minimal-edit-count cases? Some wikipedias do allow their usurpation, so it is really up to a local decision (note that the proposed Steward policy is just a fallback for cases where local policy does not exist). For example:

• fi:WP:USURP sets the limit at "under five edits that been made over one year ago". The user can object within 14 days.
• pl:WP:USURP sets three alternative limits: (1) max three edits, and no edits in 6 months; (2) max ten edits, and no edits in 1 year; (3) max thirty edits, and no edits in 2 years. The user can object within 7 days.

So both have a mechanism to usurp passive accounts, while still giving the user the choice of objecting. Are there any plans to implement a similar policy in de-wiki? --Jmkfi 10:22, 3. Mär. 2009 (CET)

I hope this can be resolved soon for the German Wikipedia. In my case it's 3 edits in August 2005 by someone inactive and unresponsive that bar me from completing unification, even though three other wikis had no problems merging accounts with similar minimal edits, after several attempts at contacting the owner and a waiting period of one month. -- MiG2 18:37, 8.

In my case (Tedder), I've been around ~4 years with ~13000 edits, and I'm an admin. de:Tedder has one edit. It's the only bar for unification for me. w:User:Tedder 08:46, 17. Jul. 2009 (CEST)
