User talk:Mercury~metawiki
Add topicHi. I just removed your offer to volunteer for OTRS. While we very much appreciate your willingness to help out, it is best if volunteers can demonstrate community trust, in the form of adminship, on one of the projects. If you'd like to help out the OTRS team without being an admin, you can do so at en: by participating in projects like en:Wikipedia:Help desk, en:Wikipedia:Biographies of living people/Noticeboard, welcoming newcomers, and in recent changes patrol, and generally helping to keep the quality of the project high. Again, thank you very much for your offer to help out, and do feel free to relist yourself in the future. Jkelly 02:08, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Is what I am doing currently at the enwiki project demonstrative of trust, or do I need to wait until I become an admin. I'm a little confused about what you mean. Best regards, Navou 02:37, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- Right, granting adminship is the way in which a project communicates its trusting the user. Jkelly 20:09, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
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 Mercury. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mercury~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
