Old Account I lost access to

[edit]
Lost account

I made this account in 2006 which was dormant and forgot about for many years and I edited as User:Xyzspaniel from 2012 until about 2018. To enforce a wikibreak/retirement?, I scrambled the password on that account (and hadn't any recovery options) needless to say I lost control of that account but I could revive (and rename from my own name) this account so here I am now!

The Barnstar of Diligence Thanks JW for diligently reading through all submissions on WP:ITNRD and providing your notes. I know we often do not credit editors who read each article and provide their feedback, as much as we credit creators, nominators, and updaters. I wanted to use this chance to say, "Thank You!"
