Barnes & Noble Nook: revision 432875239
I have noticed that you have made the battery life to 150 hours with wifi turned off. With the past revisions, we have agreed that WiFi will drain battery life, therefore the time will be shorter (150 hours), with WiFi turned on.

I'm not blaming you, but could you explain to me how WiFi turned on will make the battery life longer? -- JJR cop  ( send msg ) 16:19, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

> JJ, you may have misunderstood what I meant in "... battery life of up to two months (or 150 hours offering approximately 25,000 continuous page turns with Wi-Fi turned off)." Two months or 150 hours are both under the assumption of wifi being turned off. Having wifi turned definitely shortens battery life.

B&N advertised the Nook Touch having a battery life of 2 months under the assumption of X minutes of daily usage without wifi, which prompted Amazon to update Kindle 3's battery life to 2 months (1/2 hour daily without wifi). B&N later clarified that they have tested the Nook Touch and provided better measurements in terms of continuous page turns per minute without wifi:

"With up to two months on a single charge, the all-new Nook has the longest battery life in the industry and superior battery performance to Kindle 3. In our side-by-side tests, under the exact same conditions, continuous use of the device resulted in more than two times Kindle’s battery life. While reading at one page a minute, the all-new Nook battery lasts for 150 hours, where the Kindle battery, using the same page-turn rate, lasts for only 56 hours (both with Wi-Fi off). We’ve also done a continuous page turn test and at one page turn per second, the all-new Nook offers more than 25,000 continuous page turns on a single charge."

Hope this clears up. Please correct/rephrase the article segment to reduce any ambiguity. Vortex (talk) 18:53, 10 June 2011 (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 Vortex. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Vortex~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 03:33, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
