User talk:Savethechildren~enwiki

Welcome, but do not put inappropriate categories or links on pages, like North Bay, Ontario, in an effort to promote a Point of View, no matter how noble. Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. Hu 17:53, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Hu, thanks for your whitewashing and I appreciate your choice to take the bluepill. unsigned comment by User:Savethechildren 23:56 UTC 15 January, 2006.


 * 1) You can accomplish a great deal for your cause if you work with the system rather than working against it. In this case, the system is Wikipedia.  So, first, sign your comments on Talk pages by using four tildes, ~.
 * 2) If you try to ram through an agenda, it is going to get reverted in time by the massive numbers of editors on Wikipedia. So find Neutral Point of View (NPoV) ways to make your association and views known.  Don't try to ram it through.
 * 3) I did not whitewash, nor did I totally revert your edits. You will notice, if you aren't too angry to look, that I left a link to your association on the Children's Society page.  I have not viewed your site because of some unenforceable nonsense at the front of it that I didn't want to bother with, so I gave you the benefit of the doubt.
 * 4) You don't convince third parties to your cause by attempting to slur second parties with terms like "whitewashing" or "blue pill".
 * 5) Make edits, but don't get upset if they get reverted. Learn from it.  Raise issues on discussion pages, be civil and persuasive, learn the mechanics of the system and the social aspects of how consensus is achieved.  Axes don't get ground at Wikipedia, they shatter.  Axe grinders don't grind at Wikipedia, they get ground down, because there are more steady reasonable people than there are single-issue zealots.  On the other hand, controversy is accomodated when there are two or more legitimate sides to issues.
 * 6) Don't be imprisoned by your matrix. Anger blunts a person's effectiveness.  It forms a matrix around a person that channels their actions and limits their flexibility. I know a little more about Wikipedia and how to make it work for my purposes than you do for yours.  If you let go of your anger, you may be able to learn too.  If I had been angry, I would never have been able to learn. Hu 03:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Children's Aid Society (Canada)
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Children's Aid Society (Canada). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Children's Aid Society (Canada). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:08, 13 March 2010 (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 Savethechildren. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Savethechildren~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 02:52, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
