Personal Information on your Userpage
Hi. I don't intend to scare you away or attempt to intimidate you, but I thought you might want to reconsider some of the items on your userpage. You may have not realised that the items on your userpage release personal information about yourself (real name or age etc), which could be used against you in the future. While 99% of all the editors on Wikipedia are friendly, welcoming and harmless, there is a chance your personal information could be misused by editors not so 'high-minded'. A handful of editors have even felt real-world implications due to their Wikipedia edits and release of personal information.

I have deleted some revisions of your userpage in respect to your privacy for the time being, just in case you wish to reverse on your decision to have such content on public display. As a result, the information is only available to administrators. You are, of course, welcome to ask myself or another administrator to restore them, but I just wanted to make you aware of the risks involved with releasing personal information on such a public forum. If you wish to to have the personal information removed so that even administrators cannot view it, I can request oversight on your behalf. You are also welcome to discuss this with me on my talk page, or privately via e-mail if you have any concerns. Hope to hear from you. \ Backslash Forwardslash / {talk} 21:45, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Your edit to Userboxes/Media/Books
Hi. I'm not sure what your intention was with this edit, but I don't think it worked. The user you referenced (User:The Edge Chronicles) in your edit doesn't exist, leading to two problems. 1) The entry on the page became a redlink and, perhaps more seriously 2) the page was entered on the speedy deletion category as it included a link to a nonexistent userpage. I've reverted your edit; if you could explain what you were trying to do perhaps I could try to help you. Regards, Tonywalton Talk 19:36, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh - the same applied to your userpage, so I've blanked the entry there. Tonywalton Talk 19:38, 18 July 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 Pierregunther. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Pierregunther~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 02:24, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
