Your account will be renamed
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tony1212. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tony1212~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Username modified
Please note, my username (previously Tony1212) has been modified to Tony_1212 as of March 2016 at the request of Wikipedia (clash with another Tony1212 somewhere else in wikiworld apparently). It appears that all of my wikipedia edits (from October 2006) have been retrospectively re-assigned to this new username so those are OK, but the old one is attached to some historic images as file uploads to wikimedia commons (in the upload history, which cannot be changed). I have changed the reported authorship of those files to the new username so most things should work (so long as you do not trust the upload histories...). Hope that is as clear as mudTony 1212 (talk) 02:28, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
Mike Ring
I'm trying to find a Mike Ring who played guitar in the Four Winds Folk Club in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. If you know how I can get in touch with him please let me know. I think he may be in the photo of the folk festival in Cambridge in 1977. LesleyAL (talk) 20:59, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
Autopatrol given
Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. Abzeronow (talk) 01:37, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
