Spanish language
I'm sorry, but please stop editing this as if 'Castellano' were an English word. It isn't: only 'Castilian' is. Rothorpe 21:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry but there are some words that don't need a translation into english. "Castilian" does not resonate at all in "castellano" and therefore it will not be recognized by those that speak castellano as the english equivalent. Castellano doesn't need a translation. The use of "castilian" is confusing and it is preferable not to translate the word when you refer to the castellano language. Do you think jazz or rock should be translated into castellano? Thanks.

Castellano is a Castilian/Spanish/castellano word which doesn't resonate in English because it's not English. There is a page on Castilian Spanish, which mentions the word, and it is also included in the introduction here. As for jazz and rock, it's up to you what words you use in Spanish; then again, we have no problem with the word 'flamenco' in English. Rothorpe 11:13, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Please discontinue inserting the term castellano like you did in the Spanish language article. This is the English version of wikipedia, and English terminology should be used. In English, Spanish is the most common name of the language spoken in Spain and Latin America. These edits, as well as your previous like edits, have been reverted. Thank you.

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 Jandys. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jandys~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 00:47, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
