Christian the lion
Christian the lion has been re-deleted as a blatant infringement of the Daily Mail's copyright on the article. You cannot copy and paste someone else's work into Wikipedia without their permission. You are welcome to try writing your own article with original wording. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 06:37, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * We are trying to create a freely usable and redistributable encyclopedia. Violating other people's copyright does not help us reach that goal.


 * These are not our arbitrary rules, they are the laws of the land. Information may "want" to be free, but copyrighted representations of information are not free. If you want copyrights to vanish, write your appropriate government representative. Copying stuff into Wikipedia will not accomplish anything, and just makes our task harder. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 16:38, 30 June 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 Onsen. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Onsen~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 02:15, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
