User talk:Benchy~enwiki

June 2007
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Duke of Edinburgh, was not constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please do not add unhelpful and unconstructive content to Wikipedia, as you did to Noughts & Crosses series. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Chriswiki 12:56, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Portsmouth F.C., you will be blocked from editing. Chriswiki 12:58, 7 June 2007 (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 Benchy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Benchy~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 22:29, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
