P.S. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

Clemens
When editing the Top 100 pitchers page, updating the numbers is not a minor edit. You should also note what you've done, as illustrated here. Last, Clemens is on two lists on the page, and both need updating when he wins. I will update the other list once the Maddux start is complete. Cheers, Laszlo Panaflex 03:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Citing sources
I just noticed that you removed the note, "Other Wikipedia articles may not be used as sources." from the Citing sources guideline back in June:, was this a consensus removal? Was it moved elsewhere? I don't see a discussion on it. Seems like a significant change. Thanks! Dreadstar †  18:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey stargate. You need to reference your change to guan yu. It was reverted. Please do not add or change facts in the future without a reference. Thank you Washburnmav (talk) 18:19, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * First of all other wikipedia pages do not count as reliable sources. All information must be verifiable. If you do find another source, it needs to be included on the page in references. You can find information on citing sources here. Washburnmav (talk) 18:42, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

WP:RS
Unfortunately, this is the English Wikipedia, and most editors here can't verify your assertion that the web site you're citing is a reliable source. If the date you're using is accurate, it shouldn't be too hard to find a reliable source in English. FWIW, I have a Chinese history textbook here that supports the 206 BC date. Dppowell (talk) 19:01, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Forget your bogus website, and don't even think about touching that article again until you bring a reliable source to the table, like the Cambridge History of China which I have just added. On the page in question, page 20, Derk Bodde says:

"By contrast, the Ch'in dynasty and empire lasted only fifteen years before being cut short in 206 by civil wars from which arose the subsequent Han dynasty."

End of discussion.-- Pericles of Athens  Talk 19:36, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

The date for the end of Qin is explained on page 84; it says that Liu Bang received the submission of Ziying outside of Xianyang in the very last month of 207 BC, but the palaces, imperial libraries, the Qin capital city, and Ziying himself were not destroyed until January or February of 206, by the hand of Xiang Yu. It was the latter event which Derk Bodde considers the end of Qin.-- Pericles of Athens  Talk 19:45, 8 July 2008 (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 Stargate756. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Stargate756~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 03:10, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
