User talk:Carl~enwiki

I've just visited the Smallpox talk page, and I have a question about it, and talk pages in general.

A lot of the topics on the Smallpox talk page seem to be fairly old - Three years or more. What's the correct thing to do with regards to items on that page with no longer seem relevant, or have since been addressed? Is it OK to remove those sections? It doesn't seem sensible to keep them there indefinitely.


 * You don't want to just delete the older comments if you are familiar with setting up an archive I would suggest you do that for the really old comments that haven't had any response in maybe 6 or 8 months. If your not familiar with setting one up I would make a note on the talk page regarding archiving the old messages. Thanks &mdash; Wils Bad Karma  ( Talk ) 02:31, 3 February 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 Carl. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Carl~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 22:49, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
