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)
 * Actually, it may work if you just try logging in here with your global username and password, it may integrate it for you so you don't need to delete your global account (doing this for the other projects should work as well). -- Skiz zerz  02:01, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It seems you have been successfully unified, so no need to rename or delete global account :) ..-- Cometstyles 02:43, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
