User talk:Tomax~enwiki

Hi! If you wish to write about yourself then use your user page. Wikipedia articles are only accepted for people of sufficient notability. I've listed the article Tom mclaughlin for speedy deletion. – Blue &#1161; Iris 09:25, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I have now created your user page. I am sorry, but Articles for deletion/Tomax7 was quite clear that you do not qualify for inclusion in the (Main) namespace. -- RHaworth 12:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you Rhaworth, didn't know the difference between user and just plain ol' wiki page. Was just wanting to "show off how famous *cough* I was" to my students to bug them. On a serious note, do a Google search for 'Tom McLaughlin' or Calgary Microsoft trainer, or microsoft trainer, aplus notes, web design notes and see my site is #1 in the world. I think also with various other combo's I'm pretty high also. I don't sell anything on my site.

Is it possible to make the user Tomax7? I'm not a GI Joe Toy :-)

cheers tom


 * Yes, the Google search for 'Tom McLaughlin' is impressive cos of the of about 82,700 that it returns. But as a matter of principle we do not accept vanity articles. A Google search for "Roger W Haworth" ain't at all impressive cos I ain't got much competition! To make user Tomax7, just register again. -- RHaworth 02:05, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

User:Tomax
I've added the "" template to your user page (User:Tomax), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).

Please note that the purpose of a user page is not as personal homepage or Wikipedia is not a general hosting service, but as way for active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. If you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues here or on my user talk page. You may remove the deletion notice, and the page will not be deleted for the moment, but note that it may still be sent to Miscellany for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

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 Tomax. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tomax~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)
