User talk:ThisIsJimFrisch

New talk page
There it is, my new account. I'm abandoning this account btw. If wikipedia accuses my account of being a sock puppet, I'm done. I will never sign up for wikipedia again. --ThisIsJimFrisch (talk) 15:18, 5 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Welcome back. It was possible to rename the account, but creating a new one may have been faster and there was no lengthy history to preserve.  Please make sure to no longer edit using the old abandoned account.  Since your last statement at the other page was in relation to signatures, I'll leave the standard instructions template below.  — Paleo  Neonate  – 19:44, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment, or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button OOUI JS signature icon LTR.png located above the edit window.

Thank you. — Paleo Neonate  – 19:44, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Usernames
Hi ThisIsJimFrisch. You can use your real name for your username if you like, but you might want to read through Wikipedia:Username policy. In some cases, even when a person is using their real name as their username, an account may be WP:SOFTBLOCKed as a precaution to prevent against any damaging impersonation. For example, someone else tries to create an account using the name "Jim Frisch" claiming to be you and that you're the imposter. Wikipedia has no way of verifying who is who simply based upon their username; so, if you want to avoid any problems with this, you can simply send a short email to Wikimedia OTRS verifying your identity (usually something from an official email address, i.e. something other that Gmail or Yahoo) simply saying you are "Jim Frisch" who is the same person behind Frisch Animations, etc. An OTRS volunteer will review your email and then add Template:Verified account to your user page. Nobody but OTRS volunteers will be able to see the contents of the email, but everyone will be able to see you are Jim Frisch and that anyone else claiming to be you is really not. As for your concerns about sockpuppetry, nobody should accuse you of that as long as the account is not used by anyone to edit from hereon. If you notice the account is being used again, then perhaps someone figured out your password (it sometimes happens). In that case, seek assistance at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard asap per WP:COMPROMISED because any edits made with that account will (at least at first) be considered to have been made by you until things get sorted out. Wikipedia doesn't delete accounts as explained in Wikipedia:Username policy, but you should be fine as long as your password is secure. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:05, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * They are aware I'm trying to honor Jim Henson, right? --ThisIsJimFrisch (talk) 13:59, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry Jim, but I'm not sure who "they" is. I just tried to provide you with some general info about usernames. If it's not your real name and you're not trying to impersonate someone else, then there should be no issues. I wasn't aware you were just trying to honor Henson, so my apologies for mistaking it for your real name. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:36, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
