El Chal & other Maya sites
Thanks for your contributions, Chekist. One thing to note however, is that since this is an encyclopaedia and not a travel guide, we usually do not bother or need to provide lowlevel details like opening hours, admission prices, and the like. This info doesn't really add anything to the understanding of the topic, and as it's often subject to change it would not be worth it to maintain incidental data like this on our articles&mdash;there are plenty of other travel guides and sites that can do that better. If you are keen to add travel tip & guide info, then I would suggest you might like to try a site like Wikitravel, which does allow and encourage info of this sort.

Another request - in future when adding text to articles, pls ensure that it is not in whole or in part copied from some other website somewhere, as a couple of sentences at the El Chal article were. It's always best to write things in your own words, and it also exposes wikipedia to copyvio concerns. Best regards, --cjllw ʘ  TALK 04:25, 25 March 2009 (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 Chekist. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Chekist~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 23:00, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 11:32, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
