User talk:Wac~enwiki

Hi Wac, Re "multi-use"/"multiuse", I tend to close words up if possible. Plus it's house style where I work :) --Lukobe 19:25, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Sammamish, Washington
Alright, I see what you're saying. I think that things like POV check should only be used in cases of blatant bias--I didn't think that that qualified. In any case, I've cleaned it up a little--I don't think that there's any real POV any more (I think an article's allowed to say things like how a trail "will allow nearby residents and visitors to witness Sammamish's natural beauty on a lakeside path"--what, like the article's supposed to say "This city is considered by many to have some degree of natural beauty, although this claim is disputed by those who believe that the city is an irreperable wasteland and 'totally ugly'"?)

Anyways, you ARE right in that I should've left a note on the talk page. However, I did come back and fix things up again. The reason I didn't leave a note there in the first place is that I just kind of stumbled across the page while I was trying to fix redirects to Washington State that really meant Washington. I've done a lot of this stuff, and I always figure that while I'm there, I might as well read the article and learn something. The article didn't stand out as being totally out of whack, so I just unilaterally removed it. My bad. But hey, since I did just fix much of the problem... are we good? Cool. Hope there's no hard feelings about my mistake. :) Matt Yeager 07:48, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group
Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page. Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 01:49, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

NEW CATEGORY PAGE
Hello Washington-user!! What do you think of this category? Either on a scale of 1-10 or with commentary. Let me know through the "Special:EmailUser/" section. #TTiT# 13:08, 14 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by The-Traveller-in-Tacoma (talk • contribs)

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