User talk:Talion86

Your alternate account
Hi Talion86/Tibart. First of all, from a crypto editor to another: Welcome to Wikipedia, we sure can need some more knowledgeable crypto geeks around here! Check out WikiProject Cryptography when you feel in the mood.

Secondly: Since I am watching many crypto related articles I have noticed that the two Wikipedia editors and  obviously are the same user. This is not really a problem, especially since both accounts only have been used for well meaning constructive additions. But usually we only use one account, but there are some situations where we use two accounts. Anyway, it is customary to link between the two accounts to show that they are the same user to avoid any accusations of "sockpuppetry".

 * Hi David,
 * I can ensure you that this account is the only one I have. I participate in a seminar on "Modes of Operation for Block Ciphers and Hash Functions" at ruhr university bochum, and one of our tasks is to write an wikipedia article. Obviously Tibart is participating in the same seminar.
 * See here for a list of particpants and their subjects, if you're still in doubt ;)

 * Actually I do have another account on de.wikipedia. Completely forgot about that. Talion86 (talk) 10:04, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see. So that's why you and Tibart seemed so similar in your edits and had similar edit comments. To write a Wikipedia article is a pretty tough assignment. I hope you and your classmates had some fun doing it. :)
 * Oh, so you were already a Wikipedia editor before this? Nice. You don't have to link between accounts on different language editions of Wikipedia, but most of us do link between the editions anyway. And I see you have already done that. We especially link between the talk pages since many of us mostly spend time at one language, thus we often put a note on the other account's talk page like: "I mostly log in to the English Wikipedia, so please leave messages for me on my talk page there instead." You can see how I did it with my talk page on the German Wikipedia: de:Benutzer Diskussion:Davidgothberg.
 * And people can of course leave messages and discuss in any language we understand on our main talk page. Thus I sometimes get messages in Swedish and German on my English talk page. That is, people don't need to switch language just because they go to our main talk page at another language edition of Wikipedia.
 * Jedenfalls, willkommen zum Wikipedia! Und grüsse aus Schweden.
