Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Help or add a question to the Village pump. Cheers! --maveric149


 * Hi Maveric, thanks for the welcome message, I used to work with the German Wikipedia already, so I hope not to have big probs working with the English one :-) Smiles --Urbanus

User name change
I am requesting a name change to Thomas Luft as requested on Changing_username --Urbanus 23:41, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * Since I figured you might not be aware that your request was moved into the 'pending requests' section, I thought I'd draw your attention to it. I think your name change has not taken place yet because you did not follow the procedure as stated on the Changing username page. In particular, you should make the new account (without typo) and confirm your request for name change with it. Then you can go editing on with your new account, and one day you will find that all contributions from your old account are attributed to your new account. Good luck! - Mark Dingemanse (talk)  20:40, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC) (just another user who is in the middle of a name change).

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 Urbanus. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Urbanus~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 03:15, 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. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:06, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
