User talk:Anford

Please, rename my login!

Good day, Administrator!

Please, help me to change my login from User:anford64 to User:anford. I am from Russia, and my often area of edits - is Russian WIKI, but sometimes, when the same theme I see in English WIKI, I edit discussion page in English WIKI.

My login User:anford is available for me in 21 WIKI projects, but only in English WIKI it is busy. And you see, the login, that I need is abandoned, because this user not made any contributions from 2006.

That's why I was forced to create login User:anford64, and I can't connect to all projects simultaneously. It's very inconvenient.

Thanks in advance for the help. Anford64 (talk) 09:13, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You need to apply at WP:Change username. Read to the bottom of that page, and then click the link "Usurpations." It seems that user "Anford" never made any edits, so you should have no problem. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:19, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've made edit on "Usurpations" page, but I don't understand what I must write on my home russian discussion page to make link with "Usurpations" page? Trouble is, when you do not know the English language well :) Anford64 (talk) 11:41, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On the user talk page of your home Russian account, while logged in there, write something like "I confirm that I have made the request to change username on the English Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations#Anford64_.E2.86.92_Anford" and sign it.

Thanks, I understood. I think, that now all will be OK! Regards,--Anford64 (talk) 13:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Истории совершенно необходимы для любой некоммерческой, чтобы убедить людей, чтобы поддержать дело, и мы знаем, обширная сеть людей, которые делают и используют Википедии так много акций.

Я чистящих страниц пользователей ищет вдохновлять, мотивировать и интересных историй о том, как Википедия влияют на жизнь людей. Я задавал вопросы вроде "Как Википедия изменила вашу жизнь?", "Какая самая интересная история у вас есть о Википедии?" и "Википедии ли когда-нибудь вас удивило?"

В прошлом году мы использовали ежегодный сбор средств как способ показать миру, кто есть кто на самом деле пишет Википедия. Мы признакам редакторов из Бразилии, Украины, Аргентины, Саудовской Аравии, Кении, Индии, США и Англии. Эта кампания имела огромный успех, в результате чего наиболее финансово успешных кампании по сбору средств никогда. Кроме того, было кампании, остался верен духу Википедии, просвещение общественности, что это бесплатно ТОП-5 Сайт создан добровольцами, как ты и я

В этом году мы хотим выделить еще русский язык Википедии редакторов, так что я нахожусь в процессе планирования поездки в Россию в интервью редакторам.

Пожалуйста, дайте мне знать, если вы склонны к участию в проекте Википедия истории, или если вы знаете кого-то еще, с кем я должен говорить.

Hi!

My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.

I'm scouring user pages looking for inspiring, motivating and interesting stories of how Wikipedia has affected the lives of people. I'm asking questions like "How has Wikipedia changed your life?", "What's the most interesting story you have about Wikipedia?" and "Has Wikipedia ever surprised you?"

Last year, we used the annual fundraiser as a way to show the world who it is who actually writes Wikipedia. We featured editors from Brazil, Ukraine, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, India, United States and England. This campaign was a huge success, resulting in the most financially successful fundraising campaign ever. It was also a campaign that stayed true to the spirit of Wikipedia, educating the public that this free top-5 website is created by volunteers like you and I.

This year we want to highlight more Russian-language Wikipedia editors, so I am in the process of planning a trip to Russia to interview editors.

If you or someone you know (or have heard about) has been positively affected by Wikipedia, or have something interesting to say about Wikipedia I'd very much like to hear about it!

Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project, or if you know someone else with whom I should speak.

Of course, if you have any questions or concerns, please ask! I will answer as soon as I can. I apologize for any poor translation of this letter, I am using Google-translate. I hope it makes you laugh :)

Thank you for your time,

Victor Grigas

Hi, Victor.

I am ready to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project. I didn't understand exactly - how this Project will happen. Or you're coming to Russia and get an interview with a microphone (as shown on the photos on your personal page), or volunteers just need to write somewhere small articles? I can write such an article on the theme "How has Wikipedia changed my life?" for example. I think, if you with the help of the Russian administrators deploy your proposal on the main page of Russian Wikipedia with an indication, where it will be possible to place these articles - many wiki-users will respond. Especially if it brings the money to Wikimedia Foundation.
