Lee-SUL → Lee

cancia

Hi, I'm Lee from Sinhala wikipedia. I need the ownership of the username Lee in order to complete my SUL setup. The current user Lee has only 2 edits done in a single day on this wiki. Please help me with this.

Thanks in advance. --Lee-SUL (msg) 14:17, 26 Au 2008 (UTC)


Hello Lee-SUL, I am sorry I cannot rename your account Lee-SUL into Lee (this action doesn't work on RenameUser page), and I cannot suppress the account Lee because there is no button to do this, it is not possible to suppress an account: on Wikipedian projects an account is created forever (as you can read in the French wikipedia). Best regards. --Sarvaturi (msg) 15:36, 26 Au 2008 (UTC)

Hi again Sarvaturi, in most of the projects (I believe mainly to support SUL) they rename the current user to something like "<username>(usurped)" so they can make way for the global account holder. That is of cause if the local policy allows it. In that way the current user's work is also preserved and the SUL acount holder can have his setup completed. Would it be posible to arrange some thing like that for me also? --Lee-SUL (msg) 16:37, 26 Au 2008 (UTC)
  • Lee-SUL, I didn't understood everything about Global Login (SUL) and about renaming so I wrote a message into Pippu d'Angelo Talkpage (because as a Sicilian-Australian Pippu d'Angelo understands English language better than I do). Lee-SUL would you please explain exactly here how the action must be done (in full details). Thanks in advance. Best regards. --Sarvaturi (msg) 17:02, 26 Au 2008 (UTC)
  • Hi Lee - I'm not really much of a tech-head - but I'll have a go at what you're asking. If that fails, I might have to wheel in the big guns, in our case, that would be Melos, who knows a bit more about this sort of stuff. πιππίνυ δ - (zoccu stai dicennu?!) 10:26, 27 Au 2008 (UTC)
    • I think I did it! I hope I haven't broken any rules - good luck with everything. Salutamu! πιππίνυ δ - (zoccu stai dicennu?!) 10:30, 27 Au 2008 (UTC)
      • Sorry about the late reply. I was a bit busy in the real world today. Thanks for the renaming. If you need to know how things happening in other projects please let me know. I’ll post here the steps they usually follow. Thanks again for the support. --Lee (msg) 11:28, 27 Au 2008 (UTC)


  • The problem has been resolved, I am happy for this. Thank you Pippu. Salutamu! --Sarvaturi (msg) 12:31, 27 Au 2008 (UTC)
