Timeline of World War II
If this is the edit you're referring to, the reason I made it was to revert a large number of edits made by 75.70.133.186 (talk) (is that you?), the main effect of which was to create numerous links to Britain which is a disambiguation (dab) page, You can find the guideline about linking to dab pages here. At the time, the most practical way of doing that was simply to go back to the last version before the numerous edits made by the IP. In any event, I have no objection to the change you suggest. I also have no objection to using the name "Britain" in the text, so long as the link is "piped" to United Kingdom. You can do that by typing Britain, Britain or Britain.

I hope this answers your question and fully addresses your concern. Happy editing.

 * I just took another look at that IP's edits. If that is you, no offense intended, but may I suggest that you watch your spelling and changes to wikimarkup? I'm referring specifically to edits like this, this, this and this.

 * Thank you Steven. Now I understand. In fact I´m not that user, but my edit was between User:75.70.133.186 edits. JarTa (talk) 19:03, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I see now, too. I also see that I could have and should have reverted those edits without disturbing yours. Also, I apologize if my remarks were unnecessarily rude. --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 00:01, 30 December 2007 (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 JarTa. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name JarTa~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 00:48, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
