User talk:Doug (usurped)~mediawikiwiki

It may have been some time since you visited here. Since then, the universal login for all users has been activated. In practical terms, this means that users may use one name and password to log in to all Wikimedia projects. Your user name has been changed at the request of someone who has this user name elsewhere and is an active editor, so that they can use that user name for universal login. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you wish to request a new name, please do so here.--BewareofDoug 18:44, 19 November 2008 (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 Doug (usurped). To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Doug (usurped)~mediawikiwiki 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 Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:29, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
