Oh, I see what you mean. Good point. :) Cheers, &mdash;Khoikhoi 00:38, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Agassi clearly considers himself an Armenian, that needs to be mentioned in one way or another on the page. Saying his father is an Iranian is missleading since nobody will assume Iranian citizenship obviously. Also wasn't his father born in Armenia? There's a long interview with Andre on the Armenian-Americans documentary often shown on PBS where he clearly states that he's Armenian and talks quite a lot about his upbringing: http://www.wliw.org/productions/armenian.html

A transcript should settle this. --Eupator 04:10, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * What's the source regarding his dad being half Assyrian? It better be a damn good source.--Eupator 17:36, 6 May 2006 (UTC)


 * The source is unverifiable. We have his father saying he's a 100% Armenian: "Confidence has come and gone," he said. Of bumping into Federer: "There's nothing more you ask for than to play a big event against the best player. It's time to bring the best tennis."

It was good enough yesterday to win the championship of Armenia. "Well," he laughed, "I'm only half-Armenian."

The better half, Papa Agassi might say, though praising his American wife, Betty. What Mike Agassi overcame, as described in his new book, "The Agassi Story," may explain the gumption he passed on to Andre.

"I know how it is to be an outsider," he writes (with ghostly help from Dominic Cobello and Kate Welsh). "I was born in Iran in 1930 to Armenian parents, a Christian in an overwhelmingly Muslim country. I remained an outsider [for a time] in America where I emigrated at 21 with almost no money, and even less English. In Tehran I lived, ate and slept with my mother, father, three brothers and a sister in a room 15-by-20 feet. This was part of a compound lived in with 35 other people. No electricity, running water. We shared a single toilet."

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 George McFly. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name George McFly~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 00:09, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
