User talk:Windup~enwiki

User:Windup,
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We're glad you have decided to join the Wikipedia project, it's a lot of fun. However, I would like to mention that it is general Wikipedia practice to not write articles about ourselves in the general namespace. However, if you would like to post information about yourself, you may create a page at User:Windup, which is your personal page. On that page, you may post as much information about yourself as you would like, and we would love for you to do so there. I personally enjoy being able to find out more about the other people contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you will continue to help make Wikipedia a better place! EvilPhoenix

Welcome to Wikipedia.

When you get a chance, drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log to introduce yourself.

I'm afraid your contribution at Lisa Ko is already listed for deletion. Please don't take this personally, it happens to many of us with some of our first contributions, it did to me! Before joining in the discussion as to whether to keep it, have a look at both what Wikipedia is not and the deletion policy.

It's been suggested that this article is autobiography, see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Lisa Ko. If so you should also look at Wikipedia:Autobiography, and consider moving the article to your user space as suggested in the deletion debate. I can help with this, even if it has been deleted in the meantime. (I tried to email you about this, but you haven't enabled that feature on your user profile.)

I hope you'll get involved with other articles and discussions whatever happens to this one.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using " ~~~ " for your username and " ~~~~ " for your username and a timestamp. We normally do this on discussion pages as a courtesy, but not in articles.

Welcome is a good place to start.
Wikipedia:How does one edit a page gives editing help.
Wikipedia:Manual of Style gives formatting info.
Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines tell about the principles we operate on. It's important, but don't try to read it all now.
Wikipedia:Help covers a broad range of useful topics.
Wikipedia:Village pump is a place to ask questions.
Wikipedia:Show preview explains how to double-check your edits before saving.

Please feel free to drop me a question on my talk page if there's anything you think I can help with. Or, if you'd prefer to raise anything privately, email me. You can do that easily from either my user page or user talk page. Andrewa 16:27, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

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