User talk:Idioms~enwiki

Welcome to Wikipedia. Here is some general information you may find useful: click here


 * Be Bold with your edits but also be moderate, check out the policy on NPOV, or neutral point of view and remember to cite your sources. Proper Wikiquette suggests it is a good idea to make a suggestion first on the discussion page of a controversial article before making substantial edits, if you wish to avoid an edit war.  We do not own the material we contribute, so be prepared to have your entries edited mercilessly&mdash; the thought "but it's my article" should never cross your mind.


 * You can find help with editing at How to edit a page including how to do special characters and formatting, and the Manual of Style is also strongly recommended.


 * When most of us start working on Wikipedia or its sister projects we think of them mainly as information resources, but Wikipedia is also an international community. It is a way for us to share and collaborate as we work towards the elusive goal of consensus. Check out the Community portal at the left of any page to find many opportunities to work together.

You should sign your entries on Talk (discussion) pages with four tildes like this: ~ (there is also a sig button at the top of the edit window), and you can indent your entry in a discussion thread by putting a colon or several  as needed in the left-hand margin. If you put a space as the first character on a line that line will remain unformatted (not recommended).

Also, please place new entries at the bottom of the page (not at the top like a blog).

Happy Editing. --Blainster 07:14, 28 October 2005 (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 Idioms. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Idioms~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 00:28, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
