User talk:HAL 9000~enwiktionary

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * Wiktionary Tutorial
 * How to edit a page
 * How to start a page
 * Our format guidelines
 * Criteria for inclusion
 * Wiktionary Sandbox (a safe place for testing syntax)
 * What Wiktionary is not
 * FAQ

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wiktionarian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk (discussion) and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;, which automatically produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the beer parlour or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! --Connel MacKenzie 01:42, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

IPA
Hi, thanks for helping with the pronunciations, but please note that after a lot of discussions here, a decision was taken to represent both British and American  as simply. Widsith 13:29, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Widsith HAL 9000 13:30, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

A couple of other points. If you're going to enter South American pronunciations for Spanish words, please mark them as such: (Americas) or (South America) after the IPA. Also note that, in general, we try to use fairly broad transcription; the dark /ɫ/ you have used in some words is maybe a bit too detailed as it depends on dialect – however, there is no policy on this as yet.

 * Ah, I see what you've done with quince – that's fine. Widsith 17:11, 18 August 2006 (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 HAL 9000. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name HAL 9000~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 23:48, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
