Your complaint against me
Radbod - You wrote the following complaint to my personnel email:

To: User "Dinkytown", ''To my surprise I note that for some reason you've singled me out to undo, in a row, several contributions I made. You have even warned me not to vandalize, and you threaten a ban, as if I were some kind of troll. (Please state your basis of authority for this in your answer, including two senior (mediating?) users for me to contact on this affair). You also somewhere make the explicit claim that I inserted "false" information.'' ''As it happens, all info provided is solid and check-able; none of it was available on Wikipedia for the topics concerned until now (I checked and double-checked, also under other lemmata); and the contributions do constitute on-topic, relevant, often brand new info of interest to users. In short: What on earth is your problem? User "Radbod"''

As described here, you stated the following in the Constantinople page:

Origins: The Turkish Tale

''According to the muslim Turkish legend, coined by Ahmed Bican, of the founding of ‘Kostantiniyye’, Yanko bin Madyan (yankobinmadyan < ‘Nicomedia’) decided to build the city on this ‘wedge shaped’ plot of land, triangled between two sea arms. To make sure building activities would commence under an auspicious constellation, his astronomers deviced a system of poles with bells and cords attached to them, to set the army of diggers, masons etc. to work at the same right time: “Alas, man proposes, God disposes.” A snake snatched by a local stork curled itself around the bird’s neck, thus causing it to fall out of the sky, against one of the bells, thereby setting on the entire enterprise in the most ominous of hours, that of the planet Mars. Inevitably, the future of the city was to be rife with earthquakes, war and plagues.''

You claim that some guy named Yanko bin Madyan started Constantinople. That is simply flat out wrong, read the article. The rest of what you wrote has no basis in reality. They were also off topic. I was not trolling, I only corrected your similar edits for May 20 as they were similar in content. If you wish to further discuss this, it should be done on the Talk:Constantinople page for other opinions. Dinkytown 01:41, 22 May 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 Radbod. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Radbod~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 02:16, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
