Single user or shared use account?
Hi OsmoseIt, welcome to Wikipedia! As you know I've been happy to engage with you over at WT:MED and I hope you've found my suggestions to be helpful. I have a more WP-specific question about how you refer to yourself and what it means for your account. You tend to refer to yourself in the first person plural (i.e. "we") rather than ("I"), making me wonder whether more than one person uses this account? — soupvector (talk) 05:00, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
