User talk:Borky~enwiki

On your old EE Guy account
Hello there. I noticed from your comment here that your pervious account (EE Guy) was blocked, and I looked into it to see why. It turns out that the user name you chose just happened to look like the style used by a notorious sockpuppet referred to as MascotGuy. I'm afraid that you were just caught in the crossfire and the blocking of your account was an accidental mistake.

I raised the point here, the consequence of which was only that your account name was removed from the list of accounts associsated with MascotGuy. So although it's nothing to do with me, I thought I would apologise for the mistake on behalf of whoever made it. I hope that it hasn't soured your experience of Wikipedia, and that you continue to make good contributions to the project.

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 Borky. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Borky~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 22:44, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
