Restore access to account F.Ponizil@SUL
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

F.Ponizil wrote a post on Facebook that he forgot password to this accounŧ and want to continue editing under this account. As he didn't set an email, it isn't possible through the regular process.

His name is (as published on user page) František Ponížil, and that's pretty uncommon. He also wrote he's a priest. With those information, @Blahma, cs.wikipedia sysop, is convinced František Ponížil from http://www.animak.cz/animatori/tym/ and from Wikipedia is the same person. As such, I propose adding his email from that page to the account, so he can reset through the regular process.

Sorry - I and most of my team is on vacation right now, but will see what I can do.

I'll go ahead and do that, then, since at least two users can (sort of) vouch for him and this is not a privileged account.

@Urbanecm This is now done, and a password reset has been issued through Special:PasswordReset. Hopefully that will allow him to log in.

Lowering since the bit we can actually control has been done. :)

The user confirmed he was able to login successfully, thank you very much for your help.

Time to make publicly available this task?
