I'm already a sysop on the English Wikipedia, and have been a major contributor at the Dutch Wikipedia, but I'm inactive there right now. However, I'm certainly very much able to help out here now with sysop status. --JoanneB 11:02, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry but sysops is limited to devs or long time contributors to this wiki only..sorry ...-- Cometstyles 11:28, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * It says "Being personally known to a developer or having sysop or higher status on a major Wikimedia project are two ways to be deemed trustworthy." Well, I'm admin on the English Wikipedia. I can be of use here... --JoanneB 11:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * We already have 42 sysops, which is usually more than enough to handle whatever may pop up. Please note that fulfilling whatever suggestions does not automatically give you the right for +sysop. Besides, imo it's quite easy for anyone to get +sysop on en.wiki if they edit there enough. If you edit here for a while, I may change my mind at a later date, but at this time I'm going to say no. -- Skiz zerz  17:28, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Per above. I'd like to see some edits from a user before I'd give them sysop status or then I need to know the user personally. As I don't know you, I'd need to see some edits before I can grant you +sysop. -- Sayuri 17:31, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi, I have global account User:Thatcher with enwiki as my home, en:User:Thatcher. There is a User:Thatcher here that is not me.  I would like to have the account renamed to something else so I can merge my global login here.  Please let me know if this is possible. Thatcher131 16:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I have renamed the old account; however, I cannot rename yours to Thatcher as you have already created a global account. You have two options (although I'm not sure if #2 will work): 1) request on meta that a steward delete your global account, then come back requesting the rename. After said rename, re-create your global account. 2) Register a new account under the name "Thatcher" here with the same password as your other accounts, then revisit Special:MergeAccount to merge it in. Again, I'm not sure if #2 is possible since a global account already exists for your name, so you may not be able to register as it. The page on meta to request deletion of your global account is SR/SUL. -- Skiz zerz  16:26, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * right, I have to get my SUL deleted, but the first step was renaming this one. Thanks! Thatcher131 16:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
