Upper vs upper

 * This question is kind of irrelevant, but just out of curiosity: why did you change the redirect at Lobachevsky plane from upper to Upper? As I understand it, due to limitations in Wikimedia, all articles start with a capital letter. -- Tob 08:36, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

The purpose of my edit was to insert the hyphen between half and plane, thereby bypassing a redirect page. An incidental other change was to make the capital U a lower-case u (not the other way around). I prefer that because capitalizing the initial sometimes makes newbies think it's necessary to capitalize the first letter of a link, and then they put a capital d in something like dog in the middle of a sentence. The first letter of a link, unlike the later letters, is case-insensitive. Michael Hardy 18:58, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

DOI parameters
Why are you adding doi parameters to citation templates which are unlikely ever to need them, such as cite book? Accepted practice is to include such links in the id parameter using doi, because there are many such links none of which should be singled out for special treatment (see arxiv for example). Please do not do stuff like this without at least asking: in many cases we have previously thrashed out the answer. HTH HAND Phil | Talk 17:14, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry to come over harsh, but we've had some trouble with people adding parameters willy-nilly to these templates which are used very widely, and the resulting change can make quite a noticeabel impact if you know where to monitor stuff. In the meantime, you can simply add doi to the id parameter on just about any of the citation templates without the bother of adding parameters. Thanks for the extra information. —Phil | Talk 17:49, 20 April 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 Tob. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tob~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)
