If the target user does have an email set, what are the guidelines for when to send one, and should a note be left on the request if one is sent? The bullet about it is very non-descriptive, only saying to send one, while the guidelines for requesting say that a clerk or bureaucrat will send one if
416:
Guys, I'm very grateful to everyone who helps out here, but the average number of clerknotes is ballooning out of proportion. Too many clerknotes creates problems - it must be confusing for those checking on the status of the request, and frankly its pretty unhelpful for the bureaucrat dealing with
98:
There are no restrictions on who can become a clerk. It is requested that you know what you are doing, and what comments are helpful and need to be made. I suggest reading this page, and the CHU and CHU/U pages themselves to see what kinds of comments need to be made, and then go right ahead.
536:
Also, cases where the requester withdraws explicitly or implicitly by posting another request should be fine, especially if the bureaucrats are all seemingly busy. It should still be noted in the section that exceedingly obvious cases like these clerks should be able to close with
326:(I'm a bureaucrat on scn.wiki, but my 2nd highest edit count is in en.wiki). It would have been easy to do the name change, the only trouble is that I had already created the other one in en.wiki to save it. Is there any way I can transfer all of my

It is my understanding that usurpation is for name changes. I don't want to change the name of my current account, but to create a doppleganger sock. I just wanted to make sure that by filling a request my current account name (Piotrus) will not be

If the answer to one or more of the above is "yes", the request will probably be declined with a suggestion to gain consent of the other-project user (keeping in mind these are rough metrics and renames are a matter of bureaucrat discretion).

I want to ask you a question and hope you can help to solve this problem. Several days ago, I changed my account name into a new one. However, the old name still appears in the edit history as the following edit summary entry:
600:
There's not really any guidelines set as far as I know. I suppose if they have an email set, you could send an email and note that at the request. I believe we used to email all the time, now I think we don't do it as much.
431:
It really doesn't need a debate - I don't need the clerks to agree. Just flag up what might be issues with a request and make a decision. At some point, your discussion needs to move to your talkpage to stop cluttering the

for that. There are full instructions on that page, as well as links to the guidelines and criterion for usurpation. If you have any queries regarding filing the request, please feel free to let a clerk or bureaucrat
425:
There have been a couple of occasions when I have had notes discussing the lack of a reason, the fact that request has been reformated but no one seemed to have noticed the target account was taken anyway...
435:
Only leave notes if you have to. I'm grateful to those who fix the formatting, but it doesn't need yet another note to say you have done so. Trust me, your work won't go unnoticed.

In order to determine if a user on another project would preclude an otherwise valid request to usurp an en.wiki user (where no SUL exists yet), I usually look at a few things:
479:
344:
230:(my real name) to prevent possible future usurpation. I cannot create that account as I am getting 'account exists' error, yet this account has no edits (see
439:
Sorry this message has rather a negative tone. It is great that you're all helping out, I just wanted to nip what seems to be a growing problem in the bud.
350:
I've taken care of this for you. In order to do it I had to delete your global SUL account, so please merge all your accounts again as soon as possible. —

358:
461:
657:
421:
Try and make your comments comprehensive - think about all the issues with the request. That saves other clerks overlaying there own comments.
334:? If it's too complicated let me know, and I will simply keep going with my new one, and basically forsake my previous 4,000 edits. Cheers.
