*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.
*'''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''.
 
The {{t|Confused?}} template{{snd}}which renders like this{{Confused?}} and links to this page{{snd}}is available for calling attention to editors who may be confused.
