User talk:Jeff epstein~enwiktionary

RESPONSE (sorry I'm new at this...Not sure the official method...)
Thanks for being open about why you deleted my contribution. I'll try to filter my future entries better.

Welcome
Please have a look at our formatting guidelines. Also, I removed your etymology for crotchety because it is probably not correct. (Crochet is, in fact, the etymology, but not for the reasons you state.) Many folk etymologies exist, and we want to take care not to propagate them. Thanks for your understanding. Below is our standard welcome stuff, to get you started.

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:

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! &mdash;Dvortygirl 19:19, 31 October 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 Jeff epstein. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jeff epstein~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 23:51, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
