Previous account

You clearly are not new to editing this site. Which previous account(s) did you use? If you reply, I ask that you reply here on your talk page. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 00:52, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So...I'm going to ask you this once: Are you Weeb Dingle?

I would ask, "Are you not aware of our WP:Sockpuppet policy?" But Weeb Dingle is aware of it.

Keep in mind that a WP:Clean start account means that you are supposed to edit different topics, not the same ones you did before. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 02:14, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Flyer22 Reborn, Nkofa is Confirmed to Weeb Dingle. I'm not sure what this editor had in mind but it is not a clean start to edit the same articles as has happened here. The statement on their userpage that they are new here is disingenuous.

Weeb Dingle, please explain yourself.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss this further. However, I see no reason to keep it private. Please tell me what public forum this should be properly discussed in. Nkofa (talk) 02:48, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind; I have gone the usual route. Nkofa (talk) 03:16, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weeb Dingle, I don't know what you mean. The issue here is that you presented yourself as new on the Nkofa user page and continued editing in the same areas. It is deceptive because you are not new and others will believe that you are a new editor (as evidenced by the Welcome template above) editing these same areas when you are Weeb Dingle. Am I to just pretend that I don't know who you are? I didn't want to, especially given my issues with your editing. I think you changed to Nkofa to avoid scrutiny; see WP:SCRUTINY. If an editor wants to change their name, they can change their name. But you pretended to be new. I'm taking this to WP:ANI. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 07:55, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weeb Dingle/Nkofa I agree your use of 2 accounts in this way is deceptive. At a minimum, you need to use the Wikipedia:Userboxes/Wikipedia/Related accounts templates on each account's user page to connect the 2 accounts. But also, since the account user names are so different, you need to take great care when editing. If editing the same articles or same article talk pages, there is a strong risk that you may mislead people into thinking you are another editor even with an appropriate template. Frankly, I strongly suggest you either stick to 1 account, or if you do need an alternate account for some legitimate reason, you rename your accounts so the connection is clear. If you don't do that, you should probably mention your connection in any edit summary when editing an article which you've just edited, and make sure to mention the connection in the talk page if you're commenting on an issue that the other account already commented on.

For good measure:

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Nkofa (talk) 20:17, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

hey ... you do know you can type in your email address and hit forgot password right? I mean if you "remembered" all the other stuff then you have your email Address... 02:32, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
