User talk:GMG~enwiki

Welcome
Hello  and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. Try to be civil by following simple guidelines and signing your talk comments with ~ but never forget that one of our central tenets is to ignore all rules. If you want to learn more, Tutorial is the place to go, but eventually the following links might also come in handy: Help FAQ Glossary Manual of Style Float around until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. Additionally, the Community Portal offers a more structured way to become acquainted with the many great committees and groups that focus on specific tasks. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Translation into English as well as the cleanup, welcoming, and counter-vandalism committees. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy. If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 05:57, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Testing Wikipedia
Thank you for experimenting with the page Game Maker on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia, which you are more than welcome to do. Quadduc 17:22, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Game Maker. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Quadduc 13:05, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Game maker gene
I've nominated the article [Game Maker Gene] for deletion, under the Speedy Deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but I personally don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the reasoning (also see What Wikipedia is not and Speedy Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by adding to your page and then adding a question at the Speedy Deletion page. Add four tildes like this ˜˜˜˜ to sign your comments. Do not remove the "Articles for Speedy Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate. >> \\/\//esleyPinkha//\/\\ | 00:30, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
 * By the way, I'm not even sure what the name of your form is. Do you mean gene or genie? >> \\/\//esleyPinkha//\/\\ | 15:21, 8 April 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 GMG. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name GMG~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)
