User talk:The shadow~enwiktionary

Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary. 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: ~, which automatically produces your name and the current date and time. If you have any questions, then see the help pages, add a question to one of the discussion rooms or ask me on my talk page.

I see you started the entry "Joshua Even Southworth" for personal use (as you put it). Any page without a colon (:) in its title is for public use; the only ones that are (kinda) for personal use are the ones starting with "User:The shadow/" or "User talk:The shadow/" — so you can re-post your information at, for example, User:The shadow/Joshua Even Southworth.&mdash;msh210 &#x2120; 20:26, 24 October 2007 (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 The shadow. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name The shadow~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 00:18, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
