User talk:Rodney~enwiki

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello,, I'm Kafziel. I noticed you were new, or at least that nobody has officially welcomed you yet, so let me be the first to say hello, give you some tips, and share a few useful links.

Here are some links you might find helpful:
 * User tutorial
 * Help desk
 * Policy on maintaining a neutral point of view
 * Policy for content when editing articles and creating new ones
 * Notability guidelines for people
 * Tips for settling disputes
 * Guidelines for properly writing and formatting articles

I know they're a little boring (okay... a lot boring) but they may come in handy someday.

I give every newcomer two tips for adding content: cite references whenever possible, and try to set aside any personal points of view. Aside from that, just be patient and receptive, ask questions whenever you need to, and have a good time. If you want to experiment with coding or see how articles will look before you post them, you can use your own private sandbox (at User:/sandbox) for any tests you want to do.

Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your comments on talk pages by typing four tildes (~&#126;). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts. You may also want to fill out your user page to tell others a bit about yourself.

By the way, a comment was posted in your name by an anonymous IP-address at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Green Week XVIII: All Growed Up. If that was from you, you may want to return to the page while properly signed in and clarify that; votes from IP addresses do not count, and anyone can forge a signature.

However, I should also point out that as it would be only your third edit to Wikipedia, it is unlikely that it will be taken into consideration by the closing moderator. So if you don't wish to take the time to return to the page and sign it under this name, chances are it won't matter anyway. It's up to you. Just wanted to let you know.

I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for help. Good luck, and happy editing! Kafziel Talk 13:20, 30 October 2006 (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 Rodney. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Rodney~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 02:44, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
