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.
That was me who informed you that (and sorry for Tango@enwikiquote, for any inconvenience). Since we En Wikiquote as well other middle sized projects have suffered fake information and requests by impostor(s), we have been very cautious for possible sign of disruptions. Perhaps we may have too alarming ... but it is worthy to try to prevent further disruptions.
I know some people think it waste of time, but we needn't I think to let vandals/trolls play with us until it realizes. An authentic username map may help your sister projects' admin teams for a while ;)
Cheers,
- 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...
