User talk:Lightning~enwiki

I see that you were the original contributor of The Hacker's Manifesto. Someone has since moved this to Wikisource, and I have no problem with the idea of having the text there instead of Wikipedia. Since this text was first published in 1986 it would appear to be covered by copyright, unless there is a declaration by the author to the contrary. Could you please advise on the copyright status of this item. Eclecticology 18:28, 2004 Mar 16 (UTC)

 * It looked to me like you wanted to make a subheading by typing Uses, which i changed to ===Uses=== . No offense intended, just trying to help. -- Chris 73 Talk 06:56, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)
 * Ok, no problem then. Happy editing -- Chris 73 Talk 07:05, Dec 20, 2004 (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 Lightning. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Lightning~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 01:08, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
