User talk:McDogm~enwiktionary

Hi. I don't think I have much aptitude for Wiktionary. I hope no one is irritated by my Wikipedia-style translation articles for the 5 or 6 Japanese and Chinese words I created. Thank you. --McDogm 9 July 2005 02:45 (UTC)

Welcome
McDogm,

Wiktionary is a bit different from Wikipedia, but your knowledge of it will still serve you well. Please take a minute to look through some of the help below, especially the entry layout format. I can't personally help much with Chinese and Japanese entries, but our sysop Jun-Dai can almost certainly answer your questions for those languages. Of course, I'm happy to help with general questions, if I can. I have included some standard welcome text below, for the help pages. --Dvortygirl 9 July 2005 17:26 (UTC)

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
 * Community Portal
 * Entry layout explained
 * Criteria for inclusion
 * FAQ
 * How to edit a page
 * How to start a page
 * Wiktionary Sandbox (a safe place for testing syntax)

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!

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 McDogm. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name McDogm~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 23:58, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
