User talk:The Grinch~enwiki

Welcome!
Hi there! Welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed you made an edit to The Kidney Stones article. I am not sure of your intention in blanking the information on the article, but it is usually a bad idea to blank pages. It seems you intention was to delete the article, the proper method do doing so is by following either Articles for deletion or Criteria for speedy deletion. I have nominated the article for deletion since it doesn't meet the music criteria for articles. And as I write this, it appears another user has speedy deleted it.

Either way, I hope you like it here and stick around. If you want, you can drop us a note at New user log to introduce yourself. Before you start doing a lot of editing, you might want to take the Tutorial. It gives a lot of basic info you'll want to get you oriented on Wikipedia.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using three tildes ( " ") for your username and four (" ~ ") for your username and a timestamp.

If you have any other questions about the project then check out Help or add a question to the Help desk. You can also drop me a question on my talk page.

Happy editing! - Akamad 03:33, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Kidney Stones
Can you please rewrite the Kidney Stones article using more formal writing, and paste it here? If you do this and send me another email, I don't see any reason why you should be blocked any longer. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2005-12-3 03:46
 * Sorry for the delay, you should be unblocked now. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2005-12-7 23:16

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 The Grinch. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name The Grinch~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 03:03, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
