User talk:Boneyard~enwikinews

Welcome

Boneyard~enwikinews, welcome to Wikinews! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you haven't done so already, you may want to create an account.

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these!

• Wikinews:Neutral point of view - tell every side to a story in a fair and balanced way
• Wikinews:Cite sources - everything in a Wikinews article must be sourced

Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews:

• Wikinews:Introduction - overview of the site
• Wikinews:Writing an article - how to write and publish a complete article
• Wikinews:Content guide - what's suitable for Wikinews
• Wikinews:Contents - the contents page.

There are always things to do on Wikinews:

• Existing articles need expanding and checking for spelling and mistakes
• The front page lead articles often need updating
• Developing stories need finishing and publishing
• Discussions need your input
• And of course, stories need writing!

By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! Dan100 (Talk) 17:45, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Deleting others comments

Heya, I've noticed you deleted another user's comments on a talk page. Just a friendly reminder, please do not do this - it can be considered vandalism. Thanks. --Mrmiscellanious 23:02, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

I understand, but just know that the rules prohibit the manipulation or removal of other user's comments, no matter where they are placed or no matter what they contain (unless they are undoubtedly spam). Please refrain from doing it. --Mrmiscellanious 10:25, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Just saw the story you were referring to in the watercooler: I think you were right to change it back ClareWhite 09:59, 14 September 2005 (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 Boneyard. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Boneyard~enwikinews 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
