User talk:Fremdbinich~enwiki

Hi, I am new in the english version. I would like to contribute articles on rivers. Reading existing ones, I noticed an "Official River Code" - without any declaration of origin. Where does these coding come from ? Why isn't it used consequently for all rivers? Where can a list all all listed rivers be downloaded from? I think critically on using such  without referencing the origin.

Dear Fremdbinich,

Some countries have official river codes. This is the case for the United States where there are codes given by the USGS or Romania for which there are various articles. I have no idea if they exist for Germany or for which other countries they exists. This might be found on the sites of the Water Management Authorities (in Germany they are different for the each Land).

For the Rivers for which there are articles go to Category:Rivers by country and select the country you are interested in.

If you send messages, please post them on the discussion page. Otherwise I don't find them and cannot respond.

I will answer any other questions with pleasure.Afil (talk) 03:59, 18 October 2008 (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 Fremdbinich. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Fremdbinich~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 23:57, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
