 * Timing... hydnjo (talk) 19:19, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Am I supposed to be here? I'm confused. –  7 4   05:55, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I just assumed that you squirreled away this account just in case your IP address got changed. No? -hydnjo (talk) 15:24, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Heh. Before I looked up the logs I'd assumed *you'd* registered this account just to confuse me. The logs say this account was created back in March 2006. While I would have been at a similar IP address at the time, I wasn't thinking that far ahead. Since the original registrant has done nothing with the account in the intervening years I might be able to "usurp" it with the help of a sympathetic admin, but this is not the sneaky plan for Wikipedia domination that you are looking for. –  7 4  (no, not this 74) 16:27, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Heh indeed! Well it's still a nice quiet place to meet for cocktails and whatnot. I did leave a cryptic message for your perusal on my most recent talk for you to do with whatever you want, no big deal but a "just in case". The clue lies in the post which precedes it but having nothing to do with those oriental ideograms. -hydnjo (talk) 17:51, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called 74. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name 74~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 21:32, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 10:07, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
