Wikipedia. A surprise!

Some time ago, I registered -- User ID and Password, which I generally don't use because there hasn't been a request for Log On that I can recall. Today, they requested it. The article I was looking at (about a foreign celebrity) remained onscreen. I figured I could read it either way, but chose to log on.

They had separate headings in smaller print on the same line as Log Off, at page top. You'll never guess what I found?
This particular word was in blue (like a link!), and was the distinctive name of one of my personal e-mail file folders dealing with creative thinking. I have probably, most certainly, copied and pasted parts of Wiki articles into e-mail under that heading, as well as lots of other headings. What I was looking up today went to a different file. My e-mail account title does Not contain this word.

No, I did not click on what I'm quite certain was a link into my e-mail account. If confronted by something like this, I won't seek to reinforce it electronically. I should have copied the page. Maybe I'll go back and do that now.

I don't know if anyone who has registered with Wikipedia, and signed on recently, has had this happen. Or is it, if I remember correctly, that I openly supported a controversial cause in the past, and so forth.

I'm stunned.

Oh heck! I went back and clicked on the link.
I guess nuttier things have happened.
I wasn't transported to my e-mail pages.

Instead they have a setup for registered members, which goes by the same name as a file I use in my email, with the same purpose: Notes and creative thinking, in this case, possibly in prep. for a Wiki article.

Oh, good grief.
