Decline reason: Based on a google search, you are Richard Cytowic's co-habiting partner. Given the timing of your accounts and his attempts to edit about himself, your activity here with respect to Cytowic is inappropriate. I believe you about losing your passwords (though you must be confused about the order of the accounts), but I'm afraid we can't allow you to edit if you're going to be doing so in order to support your partner.

Hello. My name is Stephen Gorman. My aol email is stevgorman, I apologize for the trouble I've caused as a new user. I set up my first account, Winchester54 (I was born in Winchester, Maine), about a month ago when I created a page for Richard Cytowic. I'm a big admirer because he started synesthesia research way back but wasn't linked in the main synesthesia entry. Features like boxes and pictures were beyond my computer level, so I hoped others would jump in.
I lost my password to Winchester54. AOL is supposed to remember them, but didn't. Last night, after I couldn't get in, I created a new account, Winchester55. Later that evening I couldn't get into that one either. The verification page with the squiggly letters kept saying invalid. And no email came when I clicked "email me a new password." So I made a third account, Winchester53. The whole thing was turning into a frustrating mess.
Again, I'm sorry. I did not intend to violate Wikipedia's standards (though I must say so much cross referencing makes them difficult). My Winchester55 password is now firmly inserted in my Rolodex, and I promise to behave.
