[12:27:15] Hi [12:27:35] I wanted to log in to edit some outdated information [12:27:44] But WIkipedia didn't accept my password [12:28:04] I thought I may have used a different one and wanted to use the Password Reset function [12:28:20] But for my username Vampire0 it says there is no email recorded [12:28:38] I associated two mails with that account, I still have the confirmation mails for those [12:28:56] And if I put in the email addresses it says a password reset mail is sent, but no mail arrives [12:38:21] Vampire0: make sure you are logging into the same project the email referrs to [12:38:28] sounds like your global account might be broken [12:38:53] I do [12:39:03] The Mails refer to Wikipedia [12:39:08] And I tried to log into Wikipedia [12:39:34] into the same language wikipedia? [12:40:00] That's a good questions, let me check [12:40:46] No, I think I registered in german and tried to log into english [12:40:50] let me try on the german one [12:41:41] Ah, on the German one the login works fine [12:41:53] the en.wiki a/c was regeristerd before the de.wiki account (which has edits) so its most likely not your account [12:42:18] although the en.wiki a/c has no visible edits so you could request a usurp on it [12:42:37] Yeah, possible. I was not aware that the user databases are separate [12:42:48] I was under the impression that one account is for all mediawiki wikis [12:43:00] What is a usurp and how can I do it? [12:43:46] Vampire0: You do, unless someone already has it registered before you elsewhere [12:44:04] Vampire0: ask in #wikipedia-en, I don't know process for it [12:44:27] So usurpation means that I could overtake the account? [12:44:54] Vampire0: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:USURP [12:57:28] Thanks MartijnH and p858snake|l. At least I have the global account now. Let's see whether the usurpation will be done by a bureaucrat for me. :-) [15:08:25] Thanks again MartijnH and p858snake|l, I got the usurpation done :-) [15:09:03] ah, nice Vampire0 [15:09:40] cu [20:19:46] http://ww w.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ZQAjJAvLtZA [20:19:50] http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ZQAjJAvLtZA [20:40:28] Tech News summary #31 is out [20:40:30] !technews [20:40:31] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/Latest
