User talk:Noblesoul~enwiki

How do I respond to messages that were sent to me? I am not yet familiar with navigating Wikipedia sites. I have had two people each (faithlesswonderboy and tucker001) send a message that I would like to respond to but do not know how. Now that I have created a user account, I thought it would be easier to do so but I still don't know how. Thanks for any help! NS


 * Simply leave a message on their talk page by pressing the "+" button on the top of their talk page. Remember to sign your posts using ~ . Also, I do not see these messages on your talk page. I presume you removed them from your talk page, whcih is against Wikipedia policy. I will restore these comments. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 15:30, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I didn't see any messages in your talk page history, where did they leave these messages? Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 15:31, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your response.

I was looking something up (before I created an account) and noticed a tab above that showed I had messages. I clicked on it and saw messages from the two people mentioned. They accused me of having vandalized an HP site (which I happen to be a fan of and would never vandalize any site) and a suggestion was made that I create an account in case of an IP address routing of some sort. I went ahead and created an account. Once I read the messages, I was unable to retrieve them again, except by hitting my "back" button, which doesn't help because I read the messages before I created the account.

I am just now learning to navigate Wikipedia and more so with the addition of an account. From what I can gather, I need to find the sandbox so I can practice. Also, I will try your suggestion and leave my signature Noblesoul (talk) 15:56, 30 March 2008 (UTC)  I noticed that my name is in red and states that "this page does not exist"  As you can see, I still have much to learn.

WP:Sandbox The reason the link to your user page is red is beacuse nothing is on your userpage. I believe that you were likely operating off of a shared IP address, in which other people vandalized the article, not web page, on HP. About your signature, it was not a suggestion, leaving your signature is official policy. Happy editing! Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 16:07, 30 March 2008 (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 Noblesoul. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Noblesoul~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 02:10, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
