theoreticaly one should not be able to create an account that is a SUL account on any wiki. But we have checked that you can create an account with a name of an SUL account even if it is an fully integrated account. Any solution? masti

I cannot reproduce the problem. Are you sure that this isn't an older problem, seeing as the bug was only recently fixed? Filip

just recently we were able to create accounts on slz:wiki that are SUL accounts by persons that are not the ones to create them. One of wikipedians was able to create account that do not belog to him and should be under SUL protection i.e. account Maire on szl:wiki. Maire is an pl.wiki admin so the account should e protected. masti

Is recently "in the last couple hours" or "over the last weekend"? Note that szl.wikipedia "Maire" currently belongs to the global account. - -- brion

recently was meant as "in the last couple of hours"

the account was handed over to Maire. It was a test not a "hostile takeover" :) But it was created by someone else. masti

Cannot reproduce. Just tried creating a new account on cs.wikinews with User:KTC which is a partially unified name. Got the correct error of "Login error: Cannot create account: the requested username is already taken in the unified login system" KTC -- Experience is a good school but the fees are high. - Heinrich Heine

The same happenned to me yesterday. I tried to register an account on the newly created cs.wikinews, so I thought I could test SUL. And… it allowed me to create a new account with my (partially unified) username, see http://cs.wikinews.org/wiki/Special:Log?user=Mormegil&uselang=en Afterwards, I was able to unify this account from cs.wikipedia. -- [[cs:User:Mormegil | Petr Kadlec]]
