User talk:Chippolino

I am trying to merge my Chippolino accounts in English and Russian Wikis, but turns out there is also another Chippolino (not me) in German Wiki. Please help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chippolino (talk • contribs)

If the user on German Wiki has a higher status they you do (for example because they have more edits), then their right might supersede yours to merge into a global account. See the appropiate section on meta: Someone is using my name on another wiki, how can I get that account?. If you still have questions, please ask.

Thank you. But can I at least merge my Russian and English accounts? If yes, how?Chippolino (talk) 17:36, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried opening Special:MergeAccount? If so, what does it tell you? Regards So Why 18:06, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I tried, it says:

Login unification status From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search

The home wiki for this account (listed below) has a different password to the one you entered. Please enter the password for the home wiki. Home wiki

The password and e-mail address set at this wiki will be used for your unified account. You will be able to change which is your home wiki later.

That means that the person using the same name on de-wiki has superior rights to the account name, the account there having been registered at an unknown time. So for the software the de-wiki account is the home wiki account and the only one that can unify the login. You can ask the account holder at de-wiki to give up their account (usurping it as it's called) or ask for a username change here and at ru-wiki and then merge those newly named accounts. Even if it sounds more complicated, I think changing the username might be less work than trying to get an account from someone who only has 37 edits at de-wiki. You might want to use the SUL username collisions detector to check that the new name is not used anywhere yet. Regards So Why 18:31, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
