User talk:Jwalling

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 Jwalling. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jwalling~enwikibooks 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 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Since this account is now part of the corresponding global account, you can continue using this nick. This account will not be automatically renamed. Savh (discuss • contribs) 15:45, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * This whole experience of a mandantory change of my username has been confusing and frustrating. I got several change rejections and now I can forget about it? Jwalling (discuss • contribs) 21:19, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
