Lost Password

Hello, this is user:Skyline Enthusiast. I unfortunately neglected to include an email in my account creation process and subsequently forgot the password when I tried to log in to my account today (I have entered almost 80 variations of the password I thought I had chosen). I am deeply sorry about the confusion, and created this new account as the Wikipedia page for forgotten passwords suggests. As to avoid being labeled a sock puppet, I was wondering what other measures I should take as to follow Wikipedia guidelines as closely as possible. Thank you!

I wouldn't worry about it. You have, quite rightly, stated on your user page that the other account is yours, and with only three very minor edits from the other account I don't see anything that could be controversial. The one other thing that you may like to do is put a message on the user page of the other account saying that the two accounts belong to the same person. You won't be able to do that yet, because an edit filter prevents new editors from editing other editors' user pages, but once your new account has been in existence for four days and has made ten edits you should be able to do it. Also, of course, make sure you attach an email address to this account, if you haven't already done so. JBW (talk) 22:17, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
