User talk:Fastard~enwiki

Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Lord of Coke and Hot Dogs may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, all users are entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. - CobaltBlueTony 18:22, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for catching that the article wasn't really notable and for taking the time to explain it. While I know of many people who are aware of the statue, I put it under the only name I've ever heard for it other than "that statue." It appears that the use of the name is not as widespread as I thought, and should if anything be no more than a footnote to a more extensive article about the history of this landmark (if it is possible to find out enough to warrant such an article in the first place). I really should have done more research, and I really appreciate you taking the time to explain the reasoning, it has helped me to better understand what Wikiedia is, and how it works. Thanks!Fastard 18:38, 21 August 2006 (UTC)


 * And thank you for being intelligent, understanding, inoffensible, and mature about it! Since you seem genuinely interested in helping out:


 * Thanks, and happy editing! - CobaltBlueTony 18:46, 21 August 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 Fastard. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Fastard~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 23:51, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
