User talk:Bigben~enwiki
Hi, all, welcome to Skype me "benyanxiong".--Bigben 04:21, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
Bigben, welcome to the English Wikipedia. I saw your new article at softswitch. It's great that you've jumped right in and begun editing. Please just be advised of some of the standard Wikipedia formatting standards. Because Wikipedia is a collaborative authorship, we do not sign articles nor write in the first person in the article namespace. Feel free to be more informal in the Wikipedia and Talk namespaces.
I hope you will also explore the Chinese language Wikipedia, since you are from China (you can link to it from the Main Page). Also, if you have any other questions about editing, please have fun playing in the sandbox. Again, welcome, and enjoy! –Ed Cormany 03:38, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
Your account will be renamed[edit]
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 Bigben. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bigben~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
