User talk:Cybershaman~enwiki

My current user name is CybershamanX. While this name is just as fine as any other, as I stated on the main User:Cybershaman page, I have been quite attached to it for more than 20 years. It looks like the other account was created in 2006. I wonder if that user is still active? Any thoughts anyone? :)

Well, then! After trying the crazy idea that perhaps I had created the Cybershaman user name in 2006, I attempted to have a new password sent to me. The result was that no email address was associated with that user name! Well, now... What to do next? Heh, heh... ;)

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 Cybershaman. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cybershaman~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 23:15, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
