User talk:Wendigo~enwiki

I wonder if we're following the same link. What do you mean "verifiable references?" The pdf source has nothing to do with the origins of the phrase, only mentioning it once outside the title. It's a work of speculative cosmology, not a linguistic investigation. Please cite these references, as I am honestly confused. Lacrimosus 01:49, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Obviously, we were not. Wendigo 01:50, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I see that now. But the other link only deals with "what gives", and doesn't detail the history of "what's up" at all. Furthermore, there's nothing in there about a religious origin for the phrase. Lacrimosus 01:53, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• I'm assuming good faith in the entire contribution. Since some of it has been backed up by the link. Wendigo 01:54, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I really feel strongly that it's not justified. The editor who added that material only provided that link, which, it turns out, doesn't support that position at all. In lieu of evidence, we can't add unverifiable information. If it is true, it should be possible to find at least one supporting source. Lacrimosus 01:58, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm. I've been trying to look through Google to see if there was any other source that verified it and I've been unsuccessful. Yeah, that was the only link that partially verified it, which casts the other parts in doubt. Feel free to remove it, I won't revert it. Wendigo 02:04, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanx. Lacrimosus 02:15, 13 Mar 2005 (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 Wendigo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Wendigo~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
