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

Please do not change my user name

I am the same Scott Perry (user:scottperry) throughout wiki-space. I have consistently used exactly the same user name in each Wiki-space in order to keep things simple in what I see as the unnecessarily complicated Wiki-space. I applaud you for your efforts to simplify user-id's, but mine is already simplified in a sense. Please merge this user-id with my main editing space user-id under the same name. I believe I have one or two other "scottperry" user-id's throughout wiki-space, all of which are actually me. I have never encountered anyone else within wiki-space who attempted to go under the same name. Thanks in advance for your help. I will check back periodically to assure that this is done properly.

Thanks kindly,

Scott Perry
