 Bureaucrat note: I've seen worse. However, carrying out this request would result in your local account being detached from the global one. Can you confirm that this is okay with you? The Rambling Man ( talk) 17:48, 4 October 2008 (UTC) reply
Do you mean that I will not be able to log in to Wikimedia? Plus, if so, wouldn't it be possible to just create a Limideen WikiMedia account? A Cool Editor 14:45, 5 October 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by A Cool Editor ( talkcontribs)
When you unified your account, you automatically had "User:A Cool Editor" reserved as your name on all Wikimedia projects. A local rename will result in the detachment of your new name from your old name. This is only an issue if you are active on other Wikimedia projects (Commons, Meta, etc), and you can unify again if you're renamed locally. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 14:53, 5 October 2008 (UTC) reply
So just to confirm, it WOULD be possible to unify again on other projects and if it is, I am happy to proceed with the renaming A Cool Editor 14:57, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Yes, in normal terms; it means you'll have to rename all your other accounts on the other wikis to the same name (i.e. Limideen) and then unify them through Special:MergeAccount. Caulde 14:59, 5 October 2008 (UTC) reply

When you unified your account, you automatically had "User:A Cool Editor" reserved as your name on all Wikimedia projects. A local rename will result in the detachment of your new name from your old name. This is only an issue if you are active on other Wikimedia projects (Commons, Meta, etc), and you can unify again if you're renamed locally.

So just to confirm, it WOULD be possible to unify again on other projects and if it is, I am happy to proceed with the renaming A Cool Editor 14:57, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Yes, in normal terms; it means you'll have to rename all your other accounts on the other wikis to the same name (i.e. Limideen) and then unify them through Special:MergeAccount. Caulde 14:59, 5 October 2008 (UTC) reply
