Thanks to Nishkid64, I now realize that I have recently created a whole new profile. I've been a Wikipedia contributor before (err, for better or for worse). Specifically, I was involved in the creation of the dreadlocks page.

Here's my original talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Maltiti2005

So my question is: How do I merge my two profiles? Is it bad that I have more than one?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Hmm.. Well! Sounds like a bit of a dilemma. Basically, you can manually transfer all the stuff from your user page to the new one, but theres no real way to merge the contributions. Let me know what you want, and I may be able to do it for you, and also mark the other account as an "Alternate account". You ask if it's bad to have more than one account. Sometimes: yes. For example some people use "Sockpuppets"(the official name for several accounts), to vote several times on Vote | Pages. Read WP:SOCK for more info. But yeah, let me know exactly what you want to do, and I'll see what I can do for you! Thanks :) --Deon555^talk_Review 00:56, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Doing a transfer of my old page to my new one makes sense. I did want to keep a thorough listing of my contributions though but, as you said, it's not possible.

Since I had no idea that we could do anything other than help with the fundraisers, I didn't know about the sockpuppet issue.

BTW, I love love love your Wikipedia personal space: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Deon555

Very nice!

I'll post a short message on your Talk Page to point you back over here, if you're still able to assist.Maltiti 05:22, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Okay, which account (Maltiti or (Maltiti2006) is the main account?

Well, I guess it would make sense to move the OLD profile...

...to the NEW one (the one I'm using now with user name Maltiti). Is that okay? Sorry for taking so long to respond :-/ Maltiti 01:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
