Welcome to Meta![edit]

Hello, Jking (WMF). Welcome to the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki! This website is for coordinating and discussing all Wikimedia projects. You may find it useful to read our policy page. If you are interested in doing translations, visit Meta:Babylon. You can also leave a note on Meta:Babel or Wikimedia Forum (please read the instructions at the top of the page before posting there). Happy editing!

Thanks[edit]

Thank you for your work on the age record requirements page. Please note [1]; would it be possible for you to look into these? --JN466 13:17, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thanks for shedding light on this very murky area. I'm glad you addressed the law's implications for editors as well as the WMF. However your text seems to be silent about the implications for re-users of such content. Given our mission to provide freely reuseable content, I think this is an important issue. --Avenue (talk) 22:18, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed[edit]

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