Hello, I'm Auric. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, you may be blocked from editing. Your revision would appear to be an attempt to advertise on Wikipedia. This is not permitted. — &#124; Gareth Griffith-Jones &#124; The Welsh Buzzard&#124; — 18:40, 25 November 2013 (UTC)


 * As a first communication, this is rude and offensive. You are in violation of three Wikipedia rules: Assume good faith, Don't make accusations, Don't make threats.


 * Sprezzatura, your attempt to insert an external link to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is only controversial because you are not really "giving away" your work; you are offering it conditionally, through the commercial website of a "struggling" company that you, admittedly, are associated with. I agree that your charts may be useful and interesting to WP readers, and it would be a shame to "throw out the baby with the bathwater", so don't do that! You can easily share your work in a non-controversial way by uploading it to Commons. That's how I give away my own works which I, also, have created with "considerable effort". I encourage you to be generous and prove your good faith: post your work to Commons. Lambtron (talk) 18:08, 29 November 2013 (UTC)


 * OK, I have uploaded the Vanger family tree to Wikimedia Commons, under the User ID "Gnarfulous", not because of some sinister attempt to conceal my identity, but because "sprezzatura" was already taken by someone else.


 * The advantage of linking to the Website is that it offers ten different presentations of the family tree, including Fan Chart, Outline Descendant, Trellis, Timeline, narrative book, and a format that permits printing a large 48" x 22" (122 cm x 56 cm) chart on your home printer, through a process called tiling. I won't be able to link to all these options.


 * I am not aware of imposing any "conditions" by linking to the Website.Gnarfulous (talk) 22:53, 29 November 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gnarfulous (talk • contribs) 22:16, 29 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I am seriously confused: I tried to sign into "Wikimedia Commons" with my User ID "sprezzatura" and password. They were rejected. So I figured "OK, Wikimedia uses a different set of User IDs", so I created a new User "Gnarfulous".
 * However, now I see that I drifted back into Wikipedia as "Gnarfulous". I don't understand what is going on. Good Grief, now the martinets will accuse me of sock puppeting. You can't win.Sprezzatura (talk) 23:02, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Dear Sprezztura, A better display of information for your use.

Your recent edits
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:45, 26 November 2013 (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 Sprezzatura. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sprezzatura~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 03:09, 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.
