Ok. When I have been searching for cooperative or competitive orthopaedic companies, most all of them have had similar listings on Wikipedia (examples: Stryker Corporation, B Braun, Biomet, etc). I am not sure what the difference is between their listings and mine. It seems to me that the only reason to have such a company on Wikipedia is commercial, while it might look like historic informative. Is there any way I can have the A-one Medical listing on Wikipedia in a permitted way? Bestus 09:34, 18 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't think so, because your company doesn't look like it's important enough to be talked about in a non-advert way. But thanks for the tipoff about the others. If they're as non-notable as yours, I'll get them removed too. yandman  09:37, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation, and sorry for the inconvenience! Please remove my page. Cheers, Bestus 09:39, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

By the way, the other companies I mentioned are large internationals, which probably are what you call notable :) Regards, Bestus 09:40, 18 October 2006 (UTC)


 * That's just what I was about to say. Thanks for accepting our rules, not many companies do... yandman  09:41, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia is too good a concept to not accept them :) Bestus 09:42, 18 October 2006 (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 Bestus. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bestus~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 22:31, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
