User talk:Aqualand~enwiki

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Dear Aqualand: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:


 * Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Community Portal
 * Frequently Asked Questions
 * How to edit a page
 * How to revert to a previous version of a page
 * Tutorial
 * Copyrights
 * Shortcuts

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any dicussion comment with four tildes (~&#126;). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! Also, thank you for adding the *Aqualand Bahía de Cadiz, Andalucía and Aqualand Bahía de Cadiz, Andalucía articles. Wikipedia always needs additional substantive material.

Having said that, you need to go back and look at these two articles immediately:
 * We don't need two articles on the same water park, so you should merge the content and have an administrator delete the other article. Alternately, there's also a merge articles procedure, but I don't know exactly how it works.
 * You personal experiences and opinions don't belong in an article -- put them on your new user page instead.
 * See these Wikipedia policies and how-tos:
 * Notability -- is this water park important enough to merit its own article? Your article should make its notability clear or someone will delete it. "Aqualand cost 1 billion euros to build; over 5 million people visit every year."
 * Verifiability -- anything you say has to be backed up by reputable source like a book, article, etc.
 * No original research -- your own experience doesn't count -- you base the article on other sources
 * Neutral point of view -- your opinion doesn't matter; Wikipedia doesn't have an opinion either -- at most it might quote another's opinion. So if you say the park is good, that's unacceptable. If you write "In 2006, Aqualand won the best water park in Spain award, awarded by the London Times (or King of Spain, etc.)" -- that's OK.

I hope this helps. And of course, any place I wrote "your opinion" or "your experience" -- well that applies to me and every other Wikipedia editor as well.

I hope you'll keep adding to Wikipedia. --A. B. 18:32, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * It looks like your *Aqualand Bahía de Cadiz, Andalucía article was deleted before I could even finish writing this. New articles can get deleted in a heartbeat if they don't meet Wikipedia norms, so I enocurage you to make some quick changes to your other article.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Aqualand. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Aqualand~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:04, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
