User talk:Patiku~enwiki

Handle
Please leave it go. You will be Patiku if you use that name consistently over a long period of time for a purpose you are associated with. Anyone has the right to chose the name they are generally known by, and to have that choice respected on Wikipedia, see BLP. User:Fred Bauder Talk 20:04, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * His handle is, as I said, a pseudonym only used by a certain person in online communities. Furthermore, he has divulged his name on multiple sites in the past. It's not that he wants it to be secret, he just thinks it's cooler to make one up and claim that it's his legal name.Patiku (talk) 04:20, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * But why are you determined to be discourteous to him? User:Fred Bauder Talk 15:25, 22 June 2011 (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 Patiku. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Patiku~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 02:04, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
