Launchpad itself

Revert back my launchpad name and my wiki name

Asked by Thierry Andriamirado

Good day,

I've just created my launchpad account... as I changed 'Name' from 'thierry-andriamirado' to 'thierry.andriamirado' , the system have assigned me the Name 'ThierryAndriamirado2' on the wiki server.
I tried to revert back to 'thierry-andriamirado' on launchpad, but it says 'thierry-andriamirado is already in use by another person or team.'.

It appears like if launchpad and the wiki have created two accounts, and I can't access to the first (the real?) one.

What can I do in order to retrieve my 'real' identity? I'd like to:
- revert back my launchpad name to the default one: 'thierry-andriamirado' (not thierry.andriamirado)
- claim my wiki name and wiki page as 'ThierryAndriamirado' (not ThierryAndriamirado2')

Thanks in advance,

The account https://edge.launchpad.net/~thierry-andriamirado is registered to someone who owns the email: <email address hidden>

Is that email yours? If you still have access to that email address you can merge your accounts using: https://edge.launchpad.net/people/+requestmerge

Let me know if you need further help.
Cheers, Matsubara

Right! Your answer solved it... and I'm amazed by the fact that even merging accounts between Edge and the stable version of Launchpad is possible... and works! good job, guys!

Thanks a lot for your time, Matsubara!
