This username is an alternate account of User:Hurricanefloyd. |
Oddly, somehow I have accidentally been using multiple user accounts with nearly identical usernames, I was unaware of this situation until recently.
The only thing I have been able to think of is that I signed up in the past and forgot, I then signed up again with a nearly identical username. This created an unintentional "forgotten" account.
I have apparently used this "forgotten" account only a few times in 2005 and 2006 until my accidental sign in under it in late June 2008, I have edited under it less than a month until I realized what was happening.
My accounts have never been used together to commit any type of abuse, this is evidenced by both accounts' contribution histories if anyone so wishes to check them. Both accounts have never been used together in the same reference frame on any article. These accounts have never been used in any type of sockpuppetry.
As far as I can tell my situation does not violate policy, if it does it was unintentional and I throw myself on the mercy of the community. Both my usernames have the same registration email addresse, there has never been an attempt to hide the fact that there are two of them.
I have made a personal resolution to become a more serious and policy abiding contributor to Wikipedia. I was in the process of creating a true user page and user information when the situation of my multiple accounts came to my attention.
In order to clean-up my account(s) I have decided to quit using this account except in cases of emergency.
- (Except in the case of current discussions in which I have commented using this account, in order to avoid violating policy by using multiple accounts in the same discussion, once these are resolved then no more.)
All of my official contributions from now on will be found under my main account User:Hurricanefloyd which is the younger of the two but appears to have been used by myself more consistently.
