I should have said that I did NOT understand the language. This is the
chinese wikipedia, right? I do not understand chinese so I can not ask
their crats to do that. I also do not want the accunt. Is it a problem
if I just forget about it? Thanks for your help.

Many smaller wikis are cracking down on

impersonation. If you create an account on another Wikimedia Project,
make sure it is linked from your main account. Otherwise, it may get
blocked.
An easy way to do all this is to create a master
list of your accounts
at Meta and link that page to all your other sites. This will,
hopefully, make it harder for you to be impersonated, and easier for
your accounts to be identified.
A tool that can be used to identify accounts that aren't yours can be
found
at:

What are we supposed to do if we find an account that is not ours? That tool
gave me 11 accounts I do have and one -
zh.wikipedia.org, Bduke, that I
certainly do not have as I can understand the language.
