User talk:Schmal~enwiki

Welcome, and Toronto restaurants

Hi Schmal, and Welcome to Wikipedia!. I have explained my {{cleanup-rewrite}} tag on Toronto restaurants (I moved it there from Toronto Restaurants; capitalization other than in a proper name or title, or the very first letter of an article title, is not proper "Wikistyle") on Talk:Toronto restaurants. Please read what I've written there.

If I had not taken this action (or started to rewrite it myself), the next person along to see the article would probably delete the article, either as a speedy deletion without discussion, or a drawn-out process on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. I don't want this.

Rather, I know a great article on Toronto restaurants is entirely possible. But to be a part of Wikipedia, it has to be written like an encyclopedia article. Samaritan 21:29, 27 Apr 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 Schmal. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Schmal~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
