Google books
Please read WP:EL. We don't link to Google books. It is a site which requires registration and login to access. IPSOS (talk) 20:41, 3 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I am pretty sure it has been decided not to link to Google books. It's not necessary, just make a proper bibliographic entry. Also, it is considered bad form to add references when you are not actually adding any content from the reference. Take it up on the help desk or something. I think you are doing something wrong, and it is your responsibility to follow up on it. IPSOS (talk) 21:04, 3 February 2007 (UTC)


 * You will also want to note that Wikipedia prohibits directly linking to sites which sell the books, even affiliate sites. When you link to copyighted books on Google books, non-logged in users get a set of book sales links. Wikipedia provides a single way to link to modern books, by ISBN number only. Clicking on the ISBN number takes you to a page where you can select many destinations based on that ISBN, such as Amazon, Google books, etc., so as to prevent the promotion of a single site and to give the reader access to all options not just one. It may be permissable to link out-of-copyright books with no ISBN to Google, but you should ask at the help desk, village pump or another related talk page. IPSOS (talk) 21:14, 3 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, we don't really forgo it, since you can easily get there from the ISBN. For example, click on this ISBN 9004129022. Then search in the page for "Google books" and click on the "Find this book" link. Also, as I said, it may be ok to link to out of print books in the public domain, as Google doesn't make you log in to view those. I don't know for sure, though...

AfD nomination of Electronic Shelf Label
I have nominated Electronic Shelf Label, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Electronic Shelf Label. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? rootology ( T ) 03:28, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

James N. Gardner listed at RfD
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect James N. Gardner. Since you had some involvement with the James N. Gardner redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). Six (talk) 11:58, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Georg Andreas Böckler
Hi there. Would you be able to answer the question I have asked at Talk:Georg Andreas Böckler? If I don't hear anything in a few days, will try and ask at the Dutch Wikipedia. Carcharoth (talk) 10:51, 2 July 2012 (UTC) Update: I checked here, but as the last edits there were in 2011 as well, I'll not post there and just leave it at this note.

Mo Chua of Balla
I have removed a statement that you made in the article Mo Chua of Balla because it was unreferenced. Please find a reference for about the teleportation of meat by St Mo Chua, and then you could put the sentence back again. Kind regards--Fil e  Éireann 07:58, 15 April 2013 (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 Joostvandeputte. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Joostvandeputte~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 00:57, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 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. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 14:35, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Fire Vox


The article Fire Vox has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Does not meet WP:GNG and WP:NSOFT."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
