Gncotomasyon@global

To explain why he want to rename only with 3 edits on trwiki and 3 edits on Meta: he was blocked on trwiki because his username somehow contradicts Username Policy. So, assuming his good faith, I think it is better to rename him. Thanks. --Ochilov (talk) 11:51, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
Gncotomasyon, you was not disabled from creating a new account, why just not to create one instead of requesting renaming here? --Ochilov (talk) 11:52, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

I am newbee on wiki I had created a page for try then a person of wiki Turkey delete my draft page, ban my nickname without any warning Actuallly I can use same nick name but that person(Kibele) said that (Gerekçe: #9-Uygun olmayan kullanıcı adı -Ineligible username) I could not understand why my nickname is ineligible. So I want to change nick name because of these—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gncotomasyon (talk) 14:24, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Hugo Homem, while you can not say that it is your account, you should post to his talkpage notification that he will be renamed and provide a link here. --Ochilov (talk) 12:52, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
@Ochilov It would be easier if the CheckUser could be done for years ago. But it's ok, I made it in portuguese here. You can check the translate here. Hugo Homem (talk) 14:34, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
On hold till January 11, 2016 --Ochilov (talk) 14:56, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
@Hugo Homem: I am very sorry, but if you can't log and make a confirm edit we can't usurp the account. Per standard practice a confirmation edit is always needed. We need a proof that you own the account. @Ochilov: Please refrain from setting requests on hold. --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:56, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
Steinsplitter, but why can not he request usurp and if we do not get the answer in one month from the another account, it will be usurped? Per policy, it can work, yes? --Ochilov (talk) 16:08, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
We don't usurp user with valid edits whiteout conformation. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:10, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
Steinsplitter, I am telling about not usurping, but about renaming Homem to Homem~enwiki, than Hugo_Homem to Homem. It is possible, right? --Ochilov (talk) 16:12, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
Renaming a user in that way is a usurpation. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:14, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
@Steinsplitter Can you help me thinking in a way to prove it? As I said, the IP is not useful since the last login was 2 years ago and can not be verified using CheckUser. Other websites usually says we send an email to x**@yyy.zzz, that would help me remember what email I registered (if I did it). As you can see here (Hugohomem → Homem), I already usurp that account once. Regards, Hugo Homem (talk) 16:31, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
Go to Special:PasswordReset and enter your username. This schould send a pwresetmail. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:35, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
As I could see from here, one user had a nickname "Hugohomem", and then the renaming to "Homem" was done. But Hugo Homem is a popular name, so you should verify by recovering password and posting from that account that account is really yours --Ochilov (talk) 16:43, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
@Steinsplitter @Ochilov Things become weird, because trying to discover the email and recover the "Homem" I just recovered "Hugohomem" account. So this proves that I was the last owner of "Homem" (previously "Hugohomem") trying to recover it, right? Hugo Homem (talk) 23:50, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Lesabendio@global

For several days now I have not been able to log myself into my enWP and deWP user accounts, both user:Lesabendio. The Log-in page keeps returning the following uniform one-line message:

Exception encountered, of type "Exception"

This happens from both of my workstations and from my wife’s workstation, while she is well able to log herself in under her username on both of my work stations . Tried all customary remedies: cleared Firefox cache, restored Firefox, cleared cookies, reset the router, typed standing on my head... Nobody at the deWP help desk seems to have encountered a similar problem. So I would be be very grateful for either help or forwarding this request. Lesabendio ―146.60.215.144 (talk) 22:31, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

I copied the above from en:Wikipedia:Help desk#Can’t log into my user account. Special:CentralAuth/Lesabendio gives the same error message so something must have gone wrong with the account. https://tools.wmflabs.org/quentinv57-tools/tools/sulinfo.php?username=Lesabendio does work. The user hasn't requested renaming but I hope somebody here can help in some way. PrimeHunter (talk) 23:14, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

It largely depends on how busy the servers are when the rename process begins. A user with a lot of edits may take up to 30 minutes to an hour. You can keep tabs on your rename progress by viewing Special:GlobalRenameProgress. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 14:56, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
