User talk:Karen Johnson~enwiktionary

You've been on Wikipedia long enough that you're not really a newbie, but I guess that wandering over here to Wiktionary merits a whole new Welcome. Don't worry about everything being words of more than 2 syllables; there are some very challenging ones with only one syllable, including many very common ones.

The standards have not really been established yet. I've been trying to do some work in that direction, while at the same time trying not to be too pushy. I'll mostly change people's formats according to my own vision, hoping to lead by example. I'm surprised by how few people have complained about this. The issues here are different. Happily so far there have not been any significant problems over NPOV, and that's refreshing.

The early decisions about the multilingual environment have presented some interesting challenges, but that kind of problem is a lot more fun than having to deal with idiots who believe that they still need to convince you of the fact.

--- Thanks for the welcome, Karen - it was odd receiving a welcome message instead of writing one to somebody else! I'm not sure just yet how much I'll be contributing here - probably just the odd bit here and there for now. Great to see you back, by the way - things are much quicker round here (and the Wikipedia particularly) now the new server's been installed. --Camembert

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 Karen Johnson. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Karen Johnson~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 23:55, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
