User talk:Spetz~enwiki

Hi there. Please read up on Vanity and reliable sources. Articles about yourself are not appropriate especially when you don't have reliable outside sources to back them up. Remember, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not the place to promote yourself no matter how much humour you include. - Mgm|(talk) 08:49, 13 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Greg. You seem to have several things mixed up or unclear. A wiki is a collection of website pages that can be edited by its visitors. The page you created here on Wikipedia should be referred to as an "article". The message you sent me isn't an email. As for sources, they don't have to be online. Books and newspaper articles are valid sources too. However, if your organization has just been set up and hasn't done anything to attract the attention of the media yet, it's unlikely any reliable sources are available yet. Are there any sources written by outside parties about you or the organization I could take a look? - Mgm|(talk) 09:50, 13 June 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 Spetz. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Spetz~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 03:08, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
