Wrong username was used.
I have been able to connect to gerrit.wikimedia.org in the last two week but early last week I had to reinstall my wampserver so I tried to connect again based on the instructions on Gerrit/Tutorial. This time it didnot connect it kept bringing up Permission denied (publickey). Please someone tell me what I am not doing right

It looks like you are using a different key than the one you provided before. I think you need to go to https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/settings/ssh-keys and upload your key.
thanks for the reply
I made a mistake with my username.
I could login with Goldengide1 on gerrit but when I checked my profile I saw goldengide.
so I had to use goldengide in place of <username> and it worked. Thanks a bunch for showing concern
