User talk:Cos~enwiki

Welcome to Wikipedia, ! My name is Kit, aka Todfox. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:


 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Kit 21:07, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Polyamory
Ok. I didnt write the original text, but only felt that your edit didn't make it any clearer. If we can find something that works for you, that's fine with me.

Before: Polyamory, in its broadest usage, is the practice or lifestyle of being open to having more than one loving, intimate relationship at a time, with the full knowledge and consent of all partners involved. Persons who consider themselves emotionally suited to such relationships may define themselves as polyamorous, often abbreviated to poly.

Your Edit: Polyamory, in its broadest usage, is the practice or lifestyle of being open to having more than one loving, intimate relationship at a time, or of having one such relationship that is not sexually exclusive, with the knowledge and consent of all partners involved. Persons who consider themselves emotionally suited to such relationships may define themselves as polyamorous, often abbreviated to poly.

I thought it read pretty well, but you said that it was not "broad" enough. Your edit brings in the "having a relationship that is not sexually exclusive". I don't see how that broadens things. We have already said that it is about having more than one intimate relationship with the full knowledge and consent of your partners. Isn;t that saying that you are having more than one relationships that is not sexually exclusive?

If you are saying that you have one relationship, and that by agreement that it is not sexually exclusive, then that is really an open relationship, and not polyamory. It would not be correct to try and blend an open relationship and polyamory as they are different types of relationship types.

Swinging would also be a different relationship type that is not polyamory, but might be more about having a relationship that is not sexually exclusive.

What are your thoughts on this? Atom 11:30, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

edits to EFnet
the bit about the netsplit, do you have any citations to back up that history, it would be pretty cool. andyzweb (talk) 01:14, 2 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Let's see if I know how to reply on my talk page. Does this work?  I'm going to look for what I can cite.  I was a server operator back then, and may have email archives saved, which I might then be able to find on some public archive on the web...  Cos (talk) 03:42, 2 February 2010 (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 Cos. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cos~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 23:13, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
