=== AstroNomer@global ===
No template because this is an unusual request....

[[:en:User:AstroNomer]] was one of the original Wikipedians in 2001. As with some others of the same vintage, he never got around to claiming the SUL for the name, and his account was renamed to [[:en:User:AstroNomer~enwiki]]. The SUL was taken by someone in Russia ([[ru:User:AstroNomer]]), but that account has been permanently blocked since 2009 for being some kind of shared account.

It's not right that there is now no user on the English Wikipedia called AstroNomer. So, I'm putting this out there as a speculative request: how about reassigning the SUL from the useless Russian account, and renaming his account to what it was before? The Russian account was never used to edit on any other projects ([[Special:CentralAuth/AstroNomer]]) so has no need of the SUL ''per se''. I realize this request implies that the blocked account would need renaming (presumably to "AstroNomer~ruwiki"), and that renaming an account after the fact, and a blocked one at that, may even be unprecedented. But it strikes me that the original AstroNomer has about an inarguable a claim to ''deserving'' the name as you can get. That's bolstered by the fact that the operators of the Russian account forfeited their right to edit by making a serious contravention of Russian Wikipedia policy. This is in contrast to the many users that lost their chosen name despite having done nothing wrong (just being away a while).

Basically, as a mark of respect for one of the founding members of our entire project, I'm asking that a special, out of process decision - an adjudication is possibly the word - be made to do the Right Thing, and give AstroNomer his name back on enwiki. What say you? Many thanks. — [[User:Scott|'''<font color="#000">Scott</font>''']] <font color="#900">•</font> [[User talk:Scott|''<font color="#000">talk</font>'']] 14:51, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

SRUC

This page hosts requests to stewards and global renamers for a username change across the entire Wikimedia network. Please read the instructions before posting a request.

This is also the page where the usurpation of inactive accounts can be requested.

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests


Instructions

[edit]

SUL finalization

[edit]

If you are requesting a merge of a global account with one or more unconnected local accounts as part of finalizing your single unified login (SUL) username, please specify which wikis and accounts you want to merge into your global account. These accounts were typically named "account name~wikiname". Please note that we can only merge a local account into a global account when the global account has no edits on the same wiki as the local account.

How to add an entry here

[edit]

To add an entry, please copy and paste the text below into the appropriate section.

=== Oldname ===
{{SRUC
|status = <!--don't change this line-->
|domain = global
|Oldname =
|Newname =
|reason = (your remarks here)
--~~~~
}}

Example

For global rename requests:

=== Example ===
{{SRUC
|status     = <!--don't change this line-->
|domain     = global
|Oldname    = Example
|Newname    = Foo
|reason     = your remarks here
--~~~~
}}


Making a request for your own account

[edit]

For changing your username on one wiki:

Please include the following information in your request:

  • the old username,
  • the new username,
  • please sign ~~~~ request with your account for a simple move (first section), or sign this request with both the originating and the target accounts if you are requesting a merge (second section).

If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information. This helps ensure that you are requesting a rename for your own account. Please check before posting your request that the username you want is available. You can test that by going to the (new) user page and looking into the sidebar. If there is a link to user contributions, the account already exists, or check via Special:CentralAuth.

Private requests

[edit]

Account renames are not private, once renamed many links from the old username to the new username will be permanently made. The reason submitted on the rename form (Special:GlobalRenameRequest) is private, and only visible by the renamers. Additional information that needs to be made in private may be sent using this direct wiki-email interface while logged-in.


Simple rename requests

[edit]

If your rename request is simple and does not involve usurpation of an existing account or other SUL issues, you have two options:

  1. Use the request form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest; or
  2. Submit the request below in this section.

Please use this tool to check if the username is taken before filing a request.

Requests involving merges, usurps or other complications

[edit]

Please add new requests at the end of the section. Sections should be titled your username and requests should be signed by the requesting user.
Please note: Per standard procedure, accounts with valid edits are not usurped, and the target account must be notified by renamer at least one month before usurpation.
