Very useful link, thanks! There are 23
User:Tango's on Wikimedia's
servers. I think about 5 or 6 of them are me.
I was contacted a couple
of days ago by an en.wikiquotes admin about
an account someone had
created there with the same name as me - it
wasn't me, so they blocked
it. I'd better go through and try my standard
passwords against some
of those accounts and find out which are
me...
It gets even more confusing... There is a Tango on en.wiktionary which appears to be me without me ever signing up to Wiktionary. It has 4 edits, at least the most recent 3 of which appear to be edits I made to Wikipedia that got transwikied to Wiktionary. I didn't even know it was possible to copy the history across like that! Can someone with some experience of transwikiing explain how this works to me? Who's account is it? Is it mine, or is the 4th edit (from May 2004 when I was slightly active, but not very) for which I can't find a mention of it being transwikied from someone that created the account, made one edit and left, and then got given my edits by mistake when the other 3 articles were transwikied? I am very confused, and slightly concerned that there may be some GDFL violations involved with transwikiing...
