User:Whatever you feel like, apparently
Hello. I wanted to ask you about this account. It does not appear to be a doppelganger account ("a second account created with a username similar to one's main account"), since the usernames are so different. Could you explain a little more clearly why you set up this second account? TN X Man 15:57, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Excellent detective work! ℱorƬheℒoveofℬacon ✉ • ✍ 00:39, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Fortheloveofbacon. Could you please answer Tnxman's query? It'll allow us to understand your intentions for creating this account. Kind regards. Wifione  Message 10:48, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * There are reasons to have multiple accounts, other than a Doppelgänger.ℱorƬheℒoveofℬacon ✉ • ✍ 10:56, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Changed the tag from Doppelgänger to alternative. ℱorƬheℒoveofℬacon ✉ • ✍ 11:20, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Could you kindly place a tag/link to your main account on both your user and talk pages here to ensure that any visitor to your user space is clear that you use two accounts. Thanks and best. Wifione  Message 12:47, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem. ℱorƬheℒoveofℬacon ✉ • ✍ 18:14, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * N.B. I don't think that's technically required (especially for humor accounts)... and it kind of screws with the formatting, so if it disappears from my talk page, that's why. ℱorƬheℒoveofℬacon ✉ • ✍ 18:17, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I do understand what you're mentioning. It's actually good to edit Wikipedia with a sense of good humor. Allows editors to get through the tough moments :) Still, it's not the right form to not link your accounts clearly for other editors. Therefore, do please consider this strong request to link your accounts clearly, irrespective of whether your account is in humor or not. Other editors will view this quite positively. Thanks.

 * Understood, and agreed. 03:43, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the help
Hi-there. Thank you again for your help. I submitted the article, but want to make sure that everything is disclosed on the articles talk page to show that the article was created in adherence to wiki guidelines. Would you mind making a brief note on the articles talk page explaining that you reviewed the article. Bloomberg_Government It would be much appreciated. --RivBitz (talk) 16:54, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Of course. Done. ℱorƬheℒoveofℬacon ✉ • ✍ 19:24, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much for the quick response. You have been such a huge help.--RivBitz (talk) 19:39, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I wanted to give you a heads up that I have noticed some activity from other Bloomberg affiliated IP addresses that are making edits to related articles including the recent Bloomberg Government article. These are not me and I will be looking to address the issue of this activity before any other edits are made. Thanks,--RivBitz (talk) 15:58, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, obviously they are welcome to contribute here, as long as they are mindful of WP:NPOV. WP:NOR may be something they have to deal with unintentionally as well, given that they are employees.  Like I said, the Bloomberg articles that we have are fairly thin so, personally, I am glad that they are getting expanded.  If someone is way out of line, they will likely be caught.  If you're really worried there could be problems with those users, you can make a note at WP:COIN make them aware of the situation.  They might like to know the IP range you're concerned about just to make things easier.  If any of you plan to work primarily on Bloomberg articles, note that on your userpage or the talk page for the article and you should be fine (which it looks like you have done).  I don't think there's any reason that you should have to make a note or ask permission before you make edits, though.  If something seems off, an editor will probably talk to you about it.  But as long as you're in good standing, hopefully everyone will assume good faith, and let you get on with your improvements.ℱorƬheℒoveofℬacon ✉ • ✍ 21:23, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
