Your account will be renamed
[edit]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 Dayglored. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dayglored~commonswiki 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.
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

Hi Keegan,
I understand your message, and I have a few questions.
1. It is not impossible that the "other" Dayglored is actually me, from a time that I was active in another part of Wikimedia. Is there a way to identify the "other" Dayglored so that we can determine for sure that it is a different person? For example, I have almost always had an IP address from New York State, so if the "other" Dayglored has usually worked from elsewhere (e.g. West Coast, Europe), then that's someone else, not me.
2. If we really are two independent people, it should be possible for one of us to keep the name "Dayglored". May I respectfully suggest that we do that based on the dates the accounts were created? Mine was created October 2005. If the other Dayglored was earlier, I will happily pick another username for myself.
3. Finally, if I do have to choose another username, I would prefer "Dayglored2005", commemorating the year I created the account and first contributed under that name.
Thank you, Dayglored
- Once you have merged your accounts there is not any clash and none will be renamed: Special:CentralAuth/Dayglored. You can ignore this message and keep your current user name. --V.Riullop (talk) 11:48, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
