Help request

 * Hey! You didn't write a question. What do you need help with?  Ilyushka88   talk  10:07, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, I created an article in draft pg, how do I open it to wiki community for vetting before going live? Appreciate your help. Thanks.


 * It's already there for anyone to see - even though it's in your userspace. I will take a look now, and comment here v soon. Cheers!  Chzz  ►  10:19, 29 October 2009 (UTC)


 * It's fine. I've moved it to the live area, Socket Preservation, and I just tidied it up a bit.


 * The thing it could most do with is, inline references. I will add info below on how to make them.


 * If you want to make more userspace pages, feel free to click these and make them;

Welcome and introduction
Hi, Goodwriter. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!

Simple references
These require two parts;


 * a)

Chzz is 98 years old.

He likes tea.


 * b) A section called "References" with the special code " ";

Named references
Chzz was born in 1837, in Footown.

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates
You can put anything you like between, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals.

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.

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 Goodwriter. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Goodwriter~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 00:15, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.
