Molodovan/Romanian issues

Sorry pal, but you missed your point already, my advice is: when you don't know what you're talking about don't stick to it, get out! On the Molodovan/Romanian issues I definitely know better than you do. So, keep your mouth shut dude, or else I will accuse you of being Anti-Romanian. --Fratele lui Bonaparte, il cunosti? 05:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Revert

No prob :-). He probably saw your subpage in the recent changes page. "Mumfum" is a known vandal (at least here on Meta). --.anaconda 19:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Moved to Stewards/elections 2006-2#Pathoschild and answered there to keep the discussion in one place.

Feel free to read Anglo-American stewards. -- Goldie ± ^(talk) 09:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Anti Anglo-American.

This is a unusual vote against me considering what I've done and where I've contributed. Essentially, you are voting against me because I'm American. Never mind that I contribute to other language Wikipedias, speak French fluently, have contributed toward the Haitian-Kreyol wikipedia. You're only reason for voting against me is because I am American. This seems bigoted. Bastique 20:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Your anti-English Wikipedia POV is not appropriate in the steward vote. Please keep this kind of comments for you. Yann 14:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Copied From Steward Election

Please accept my sincerest apologies (copied from the Steward election). As I mentioned to HillGentlman on his talk page, I was in shock that I was considered Anglo-American centric in spite of what I have accomplished on Wikimedia Commons in involving other language projects and cultures. Therefore, I apologize for my choice of words and regret that I cannot get you to change your mind. Bastique 15:41, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Your rant on the steward election

POV pushing and opposing people who aren't even from the United States (especially Redux, whose native language is Portugese) simply because they have a near-native knowledge of English isn't going to get your point across. For example, what if there was an absolutely perfect candidate, whose native language, was, say, Japanese, but they were en-5, ko-4, and zh-3? Would you vote against them because they were en-5 and therefore must live in the Americas? --Coredesat (en.wp) 02:59, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Discussion moved from election page

I've moved the following discussion from Stewards/elections 2006-2 and linked to it to keep both the election page and the discussion readable. I hope you don't mind. :) —{admin} Pathoschild 08:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I do mind! You're supposed to be a public person, and identity verification is just tiny part of it. You'd better start adapting to flashlight life. -- Goldie ± ^(talk) 15:45, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Why English-speaking stewards are evil?

Вы полагаете что значительное количество знатоков других языков позволит местной администрации противостоять всяким румынским синдромам, будет способствовать более эффективному разруливанию всяких молдаво-сибирско-белорусских скандалов? Мысль понятна, но вывод спорен. Много ли будет проку, если в связи с очередным "лингвистическим" скандалом среди стьюардов найдётся один, способный прочесть информацию на требуемом языке?

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 Bggoldie. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bggoldie~metawiki 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

CapX's new version incorporates valuable community feedback gathered over the past months, including the Organization Profile - a feature for Wikimedia affiliates, initiatives, or community groups to create their own CapX presence (see here how to create yours).
