:There are no restrictions on who can become a clerk. It is requested that you know what you are doing, and what comments are helpful and need to be made. I suggest reading this page, and the CHU and CHU/U pages themselves to see what kinds of comments need to be made, and then go right ahead.

Guys, I'm very grateful to everyone who helps out here, but the average number of clerknotes is ballooning out of proportion. Too many clerknotes creates problems - it must be confusing for those checking on the status of the request, and frankly its pretty unhelpful for the bureaucrat dealing with the request to have to look through an entire debate. Can I please ask: |

==doppelganger usurpation request== |
|||
I would like to create a doppleganger account at [[User:Piotr Konieczny]] (my real name) to prevent possible future usurpation. I cannot create that account as I am getting 'account exists' error, yet this account has no edits (see {{user|Piotr Konieczny}}. Could it be deleted, so I could register it? --<sub><span style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]|[[User_talk:Piotrus|<font style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> talk </font>]]</span></sub> 21:53, 25 May 2008 (UTC) |

:You're going to need to file a [[WP:CHU/U|request for account usurpation]] for that. There are full instructions on that page, as well as links to the guidelines and criterion for usurpation. If you have any queries regarding filing the request, please feel free to let a clerk or bureaucrat know. |

==Small query== |
|||
I recently unified my account name on a dozen or so wikis as [[User:Pippu d'Angelo]], the only trouble is that because of a quirk of history I edited in en.wiki as [[User:Pippu d'angelo]] (I'm a bureaucrat on scn.wiki, but my 2nd highest edit count is in en.wiki). It would have been easy to do the name change, the only trouble is that I had already created the other one in en.wiki to save it. Is there any way I can transfer all of my [[User:Pippu d'angelo]] edit history to [[User:Pippu d'Angelo]]? If it's too complicated let me know, and I will simply keep going with my new one, and basically forsake my previous 4,000 edits. Cheers.

==A question== |

I want to ask you a question and hope you can help to solve this problem. Several days ago, I changed my account name into a new one. However, the old name still appears in the edit history as the following edit summary entry: |

Reverted edits by [['''BigFatBigCa(talk)''']] to last version by Jiacklsd. |

Here[[ '''BigFatBigCa(talk)''']] is my old name. How Can I change this name to my new name ? |

Too many clerknotes
Guys, I'm very grateful to everyone who helps out here, but the average number of clerknotes is ballooning out of proportion. Too many clerknotes creates problems - it must be confusing for those checking on the status of the request, and frankly its pretty unhelpful for the bureaucrat dealing with the request to have to look through an entire debate. Can I please ask:
- Try and make your comments comprehensive - think about all the issues with the request. That saves other clerks overlaying there own comments.
- There have been a couple of occasions when I have had notes discussing the lack of a reason, the fact that request has been reformated but no one seemed to have noticed the target account was taken anyway...
- It really doesn't need a debate - I don't need the clerks to agree. Just flag up what might be issues with a request and make a decision. At some point, your discussion needs to move to your talkpage to stop cluttering the page.
- Only leave notes if you have to. I'm grateful to those who fix the formatting, but it doesn't need yet another note to say you have done so. Trust me, your work won't go unnoticed.
Sorry this message has rather a negative tone. It is great that you're all helping out, I just wanted to nip what seems to be a growing problem in the bud. WjBscribe 15:04, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
