User talk:Skof~enwiki

A tag has been placed on Eton Vikings, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Bart133 (t) (c) 17:28, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi!
Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia! Happy editing!
 * 1) Start at Introduction. But if you're too busy to click through a few screens, try this basic table of how to write Wikipedia's links, headings, etc.  And when you're finished, try the wikimarkup out in the sandbox.
 * 2) You want to make sure you know the Five Pillars of Wikipedia. I've summarized them here (although you still should read the full page):
 * 3) *Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Try for accuracy and verifiability, and don't try to create articles about yourself, your friends, dog, school, or company... not, at least, until you have read the criteria for notability and know that what you're writing about meets those criteria.
 * 4) *Wikipedia has a neutral point of view policy. Give reasonable weight to all sides of an issue, without overemphasizing any one view, and without inflating fringe views.
 * 5) *Wikipedia is free content (licensed under the Creative Commons license 3.0 CC-BY-SA) and can be edited by anyone. No one is a webmaster (except maybe Jimmy Wales) and anyone can change any article that you make with certain exceptions.
 * 6) *Wikipedia does have a sort of code of conduct. Do not attack anyone, and be civil, avoid making personal attacks, find consensus for your changes, avoid edit wars, follow the three-revert rule, and remember that there are about 2 million articles out there and you don't have to get into any disputes about any one article.
 * 7) *Wikipedia does not have any firm rules. Be bold, because nobody is perfect and you don't have to have a perfect encyclopedia article the first time around.  Don't worry about messing up, either, because all previous versions are kept (check the "History" tab at the top of the page for all those previous versions!) and can be accessed and restored if need be.
 * 8) There is a help page for new contributors. Meanwhile, if you have any general knowledge questions, ask at the Reference desk, and if you want to ask about the wiki itself, ask at the Help desk.
 * 9) If you want to make an article after reading all this (and good job if you did!), see Your first article.
 * 10) When you are making an edit, make sure to use a descriptive edit summary. (If you are reverting obvious vandalism, check the "This is a minor edit" checkbox and put "Reverting Vandalism" or "rvV" in the edit summary box.)
 * 11) When you are on a talk page (after clicking the "discussion" tab at the top), make sure to sign your posts using the automatic signature function, which can be accessed by the "sign your username" link just under the edit summary box, by clicking this button ([[Image:Signature icon.png]]), or by using four tildes - - which can be typed by holding down Shift, then tapping the "~ `" button (just under the "Esc" button) four times.
 * 12) This "getting started" page has a very comprehensive list, if you want to find everything you need or might want to know to start in Wikipedia.
 * 13) If you need any help and can't figure out how to get it, just put on this page below me, describe the problem below that, and someone will be around shortly to assist you.

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 Skof. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Skof~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 02:45, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 18:57, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
