User talk:Speakers~enwiki

Learners
I've being checking on your edits at the Córdoba, Argentina article and made a few changes; some of writing style, some of format. You are most welcome to write articles on Argentine Cities with your group of students. Mistakes will be eventually corrected, but I would ask you to comply to the format we use in other Argentine cities, and give your text a pass on a spell checker. It would be also good if there was a list of the users doing this, to check on their edits more easily.

Be careful not to use phrases like "you can find", "if we go south", or that kind of brochure language., and that text contains only facts and not just someone's opinion ("Carnaval doesn't have an especific beginning or end"). Finally, it would be good if a teacher or somebody checked the text of the students before it's sent, or corrected after it has been saved.

Please, visit the Argentine notice board and leave a message at the Talk page if you want someone to check on your article. Good wiking, Mariano 08:42, 18 August 2005 (UTC).

Cordoba revisions
Thanks for the feedback on the Cordoba article, It´s all been taken on board - some of the issues are practicalities - in the school I work we don´'t have English Language spellcheckers and there is only one computer with a very slow internet connection - thus all the articles are written and edited in Word and then copied across to Wikipedia. As regards the style of the article (ie:brochureish instead of encyclopaedic) I will work on this issue next - I will also make sure that by the end of the 'project' the language and facts etc should be perfect... I will also try to work on the format - Where can I find an example of the preferred format for city articles - there seems to be some variation (having looked at BsAs, Rosario, Mendoza, Formosa, La Plata and Bariloche) - Any further comments will be welcomed, thanks --Speakers 19:11, 18 August 2005 (UTC)


 * We can keep the conversation in your talk page, as I started it here (I have your page in my watchlist).
 * I'm not sure about the most convenient format for the citiess' articles, since there's no defined standard, but I think both Buenos Aires and Córdoba are OK. Of course, smaller cities, or cities with certain peculiarity will be probably better described with other sections; there's no need to be so strict.
 * I'm sorry if I insisted a little bit too much on the correctnesss and spelling of the articles. Wikipedia's philosophy is "Do what you can, someone will fix it after you", but since there are not many users taking care of Argentine articles, and we have to deal with the occasional vandal, we have sometimes a lot of work keeping up.
 * Time will also give you a better understanding of how things work, but feel free to ask me or at the Argentine notice board if you have a question regarding Wiki functionalities or the articles themselves.
 * Take care, Mariano 16:22, 19 August 2005 (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 Speakers. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Speakers~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 02:49, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
