I could care less
I liked your idea for a new article on I could care less, but there are apparently some people who aren't convinced about its encyclopedic merits, and so the article is now up for deletion, unfortunately. If you want your work to be saved, I suggest you quickly go and dig out your sources (did you read that in Pinker, by any chance?). You need to show readers that this is not just your own speculations about this phrase, but that this is a topic that has attracted the attention of serious linguists, and why that is the case. Providing verifiable sources is considered very important at Wikipedia, and in the absence of such, some people have even believed the whole thing to be a hoax! I'm afraid I'm now too tired to set to work to tidy up the article myself, but if you want help about how best to do this, please feel free to contact me through my talk page tomorrow. I also posted a link to some discussions about "I could care less" on "Language Log". Did you know those? Lukas 00:05, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


 * P.S. I now noticed that you unfortunately made another serious mistake here: you copied much of your text verbatim from a source on the web! I'm afraid that's considered copyright violation in Wikipedia, and will problably break the articles's neck, for now. If you are interested in creating an article on this topic afresh, later again, let me know and I'll help you to do it. Lukas 00:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi again, I just saw your explanation on the article's deletion page. Sorry for raising that suspicion of plagiarism earlier. However, what you say hasn't exactly helped the situation of the article as such - by that token, it now qualifies pretty clearly as "Original Research", which is also banned from Wikipedia for policy reasons. Sorry about that. Lukas 13:37, 18 January 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 Golaud. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Golaud~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 00:07, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
