User talk:Catbell~enwiki

Dear Wikipedia,

I promised to donate 10% of the income from my Children’s books which used photos from Wikipedia. KDP does not make it easy to figure out how much each title makes in one year, so I sent them the inquiry shown below. Below my inquiry, I have included KDP’s response, which indicates my Children’s books which used photos from Wikipedia have earned about $3.00. I was asked to contribute to Wikipedia last month and I contributed $5.00, thus I have exceeded my promised contribution of 10% of book sales.

Personally; I suspect that KDP is stealing my book sales, but there is nothing I can do about it except complain to them which I have done and continue to do. On Saturdays, I have given away hundreds of FREE copies of my books for children, which pays me the real dividend of motivating children to read and love books.

Thank you for everything you do, Hollee Temple

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 Catbell. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Catbell~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 22:51, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
