User talk:Asymov~enwiki

Sources and Reference names
Please be more careful with reference names. In this edit you used the ref name "harris bio" for a new source that you introduced, from http://www.nationmaster.com. That source is not good, which is one problem, but the main problem your edit caused is that "harris bio" was already used later in the page for a different reference, and your using the same ref name caused all of those later references to change as well (because they all go to the same footnote, of course). Just a day later someone noticed that much of the article seemed to rely on a bad source, which is a major problem! So next time you introduce a new reference to an article and give it a name, please make sure that name is not already used. In general, I try to be as specific as I can with my ref names, to avoid such problems, and I'd have called this one "nationmaster".

BTW, the problem with nationmaster as a reference is that it's basically a copy of Wikipedia, which makes the sourcing circular. -- Zsero (talk) 20:32, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

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 Asymov. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Asymov~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 22:12, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
