User talk:DES~enwiki

This account (DES~enwiki) is a doppelgänger account created by DESiegel, an established user, to prevent impersonation by vandals. Please see his talk page for relevant discussion. You can also view DES~enwiki's edit count by clicking here.

Administrators: Please notify DESiegel when taking any action on this account, or any related user pages.

This account is to prevent any user using an account which matches the nickname of my main account User:DESiegel. Also, I may use it to edit from public locations where I do not feel secure enough to use my main admin account. Please send all messages about this account or my actions when using it to my main account, at User talk:DESiegel. DES (talk) 23:41, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I confirm that this account is a legitimate alternate account of mine. DES ^(talk) 23:44, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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 DES. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name DES~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
