What's this "account ownership change"? — Gwalla | Talk 17:51, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly what it sounds like. The previous owner gave me this account - and yes, we do personally know each other.

That's actually against Wikipedia's username policy. Accounts cannot be shared. — Gwalla | Talk 03:00, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not shared. It changed hands, and will not changed back - the original owner never plans to log in, nor can they; the password has been changed. The account, at all times, represented one person and one person only; it has merely changed whom it represents. Is this still a violation of Wikipedia policy?

I'm not entirely new to Wikipedia or Wikiediting. I've been on the encyclopedia as a non-editor since 2006, and have been making edits since 2007, though until recently they were rare and via IP. I have read the pillars - several months ago, out of curiosity - and have tried creating articles. Unfortunately, they all have been deleted due to "notability", something which has always seemed rather arbitrary to me; some sports game from 1906 has an article (this is just a general statement, not a specific one) but there are no articles on, say, a great many novels by well-known authors.
