speedrun
Hi there. I'm just wondering, why is speedrun not a portmanteau? You edited it a while back to remove that mentioning. I'm not a native speaker of English and I don't know everything about the more difficult parts of the language, so it would be great if you could explain the rule to me. :) 85.147.58.212 11:08, 13 August 2006 (UTC) Oops, that was me not logged in.

 * Hi, Msikma. "speedrun" is just astandard compound word. A portmanteau word blends its component words by using only part of each, and usually by sharing a vowel from each, e.g. "smog" ("smoke" + "fog"). If there were a portmanteau for the speedrun concept, it might combine "play" + "race" to produce "placing". Rod (A. Smith) 16:36, 13 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 Msikma. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Msikma~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 00:01, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
