User talk:Groves Hamburg~enwiki

why do you keep redirecting acoustic branding to sound branding.

there was a vote in 2005 and the vote was to keep acoustic branding.

sound branding was then merged with acoustic branding in 2006 as they were identical content. -- timdew (Talk) 18:07, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi timedew,

we were not involved in a vote in 2005 and do not accept the merging of Sound Branding into Acoustic Branding. We are a serious company that create sounds for brands. The term "Sound Branding" is used by major Sound Branding companies including Sonar Brand And Music, Meta Design and us, GROVES Sound Branding.

Our founder, John Groves, is widely accepted as an International pioneer of Sound Branding and his thoughts on the terminology are available under:


 * A Rose By Any Other Name.

It is our belief that a common terminology will eventually evolve and that in the meantime all terms - including Sonic Branding and Audio Branding - should be given an equal chance. Making Acoustic Branding a key term in Wikepedia would be tantamount to Knowledge Branding by favouring a terminology that may give a particular company a competitive edge, which is not the philosophy of Wikepedia.

I would be very grateful if you would take this into consideration and allow the knowledge on the Sound of a Brand be communicated as such. --Groves Hamburg 11:41, 2 November 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 Groves Hamburg. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Groves Hamburg~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 00:19, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
