User talk:Olrys~enwiki

Welcome and introduction
Hi, Olrys. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person by golly! And this real person (that would be me), wants to say welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've made an account! Thanks for joining; you're on your way to making some great contributions.

Because I've noticed you've just joined, I wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. Any questions are fine, nothing is too silly (we've heard them all). Now, the tips below - hop on them - they should help you begin editing. Best of luck! JoeSmack Talk 00:10, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

P.S. If you just feel like poking around, Help is a good place to start. :)

'Play area' in your user space
Sure! Good question! So, before you start writing an article, you can sort of play around in an area where you don't have to stress about what it will look like. Because you've set up an account (yay!), you have all this user space to make a 'play area' for yourself. For example, you can start testing out how things work in User:Olrys/test. Just create it and scribble! Later on, for example, if you wanted to start an article about XXXXX, you could begin to author it in User:Olrys/XXXXX and when you think it is ready, just copy everything to the article XXXXX where people will see it.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or need clarification! :) JoeSmack Talk 00:25, 16 October 2009 (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 Olrys. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Olrys~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 01:56, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
