I have an alternative account under the username User:Dodger67-test&nonsecure. It is used for the following purposes:

1. To edit Wikipedia via insecure internet connections.
2. To enable me to experience the same interface and editing environment as new editors. My usual interface and editing environment has been quite extensively customised and modified over the years. This will allow me to properly assist new editors as I will see the same interface as they do.
3. Any other situation where editing from an unmodified interface is preferable.
