Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello GSE!

Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:


 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Community Portal
 * Frequently Asked Questions
 * How to edit a page
 * Tutorial
 * Copyrights

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, but you can click here to see how you can avoid making some common ones.

If you are still stuck, you can type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Or, you can join the newcomer's help chat room, where volunteers can answer your questions.

If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user, such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~&#126;). The software will automatically convert this into your signature. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again, welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to be BOLD!User:Jamesofur (talk) 22:45, 3 December 2009 (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 GSE. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name GSE~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 23:58, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
