User talk:Chris53516~enwiktionary

Welcome
Hello! I'm an editor on Wikipedia. So I kinda know what's going on here. Chris53516 16:12, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I was blocked
Connel MacKenzie blocked me for no apparent reason. I had edited the smurfy article, adding some examples of the use of the term. I did not know that these links would be considered spam and removed. When they were removed, the editor gave no reason for it (see here), so I restored it thinking he just didn't like them or something.

The next user left a message (here) explaining to me why they were inappropriate. Then he removed them again. I was fine with that because it was explained to me why it was wrong.

Even though these external links were removed and never added again, Connel MacKenzie still thought I should be blocked. God knows why. The user also reverted my comments (here), which, at least on Wikipedia, is considered very rude (see this policy), and I can't imagine that Wiktionary needed to conserve space by removing my silly comment at the top. Nothing like ruining a little fun.

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 Chris53516. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Chris53516~enwiktionary 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.

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 23:41, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
