Introducing a new term into Wikipedia violates the requirement that information be verifiable. Cheers Clappingsimon talk 07:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Question on what's OK to add and what's not commercially
I am starting an online business. Now I know that off the bat, I can't add a Wikipedia entry, that I have to wait until the site becomes relevant enough to warrant other people adding it. But what I would like to do if it is OK is add an external link to our site to the page about Calcutta style auctions, since that is what our site is going to revolve around. Is that OK?

 * Hi, it's okay to link if your site has encyclopedic content that would help users of Wikipedia get more encyclopedic information about the topic. However, you can't just add an external link because the site is "related". Typically, commercial sites (especially those of online businesses) are not suitable as external links. See External links for more information. Cheers, Tangot a ngo 02:20, 14 September 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 Futzy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Futzy~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 00:05, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
