Wikipedia:Editors who may be confused

I'm Brian!

I'm Brian!

Editors should feel free to make note here of pairs or groups of colleagues with confusingly similar names, or who (whom?) in the past they have confused for some reason, so next time they can figure out just who it is they're vaguely remembering. Diffs to wacky comedies-of-mistaken-identity are especially valued.

The {{Confused?}} template – which renders like this^{[Confused editor?]} and links to this page – is available for calling attention to editors who may be confused.

Historical note

This page was originally called Wikipedia:List of editors with really, REALLY confusingly similar names (like Dr.K. and DrKay) but it was changed to Wikipedia:Editors with confusingly similar names to avoid anyone feeling picked on. Then to be more general it was changed to Wikipedia:Editors you might confuse. After further fluctuation the title settled on Wikipedia:Editors who may be confused.
