User talk:Temperance~enwiki

Welcome to Wikipedia. I'm curious what you see as "useless stuff", and I hope you'll browse around a while and get a sense of our policies and goals before you start cutting too much! :) If you have questions, please ask at the Village pump, or you can feel free to leave me a note at my talk page. Once again, welcome to Wikipedia, and happy editing! Jwrosenzweig 18:36, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Oh, I've browsed around for a long time. I see lots of useless stuff here. Lists, especially. Temperance 18:41, Feb 17, 2004 (UTC)

Okay. Do expect a fight from a number of editors, though. Many lists are seen as useful, and the fact that Wikipedia is not paper means that we often have things here that no other encyclopedia has. Also, do remember that newer editors usually have less success on VfD because they are seen as possible trolls -- it's often better to establish a small track record so they know you're not just here to delete things.

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