User talk:Sam1~mediawikiwiki

Usurpation
User:SamuelWantman (who is User:Sam at the English Wikipedia, where he is an administrator and long-time contributor) has asked to have this name here as well for consistency. If you do not object, or do not reply within a week, I will rename you to User:Sam1 or any other untaken username of your choice. If you do object to this, please log in here and make a single edit to any page, and then you will not be renamed until Single User Login is deployed at some point in the indefinite future. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 18:07, 7 October 2007 (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 Sam1. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sam1~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 03:50, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
