User talk:Flash Gordon1~enwiki

Welcome
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:
 * Learn about what we are trying to do by reading the five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page and the Manual of Style. See if you can write a great article!
 * Create a User page.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).
 * Read the Policies and guidelines.
 * Add yourself to the New user log.
 * If you don't know what to do or how to do something, there are lots of guides at the Help portal.
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Be bold!
 * Use the Show preview button
 * Provide an Edit summary.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. If you ever get bored, or don't know how to help, visit the ToDo List at Community Portal. There are millions of jobs to be done, article to be improved, written, deleted, images added or edited, and groups/clubs to join!

If you have any questions, or just want a chat, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing. —Vanderdecken&there4; ∫ξφ 14:51, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Featured picture candidates nomination
I've had to remove your tiger distribution map nomination for FPC, as it was incorrectly nominated. You didn't supply a description, say who made it, why you think it should be a featured picture or sign your name. To be honest, I don't think the picture is up to standard or will get through. It's too small, would be much preferred as SVG (most maps should be SVG rather than PNG) and with different coloring and labels. If you really do want to nominate it again, please consider what a featured picture is, and comply with the nomination procedure. Thanks. —Vanderdecken&there4; ∫ξφ 14:51, 1 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 Flash Gordon1. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Flash Gordon1~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 23:56, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
