TIMTOWDI

Hi. I just proposed TIMTOWDI for deletion. Sorry, but I don't think it's appropriate for Wikipedia, because it doesn't look like it can be expanded into an encyclopedia article. You should check out the relevant policy at WP:NOT. If I'm wrong about this, that's okay. You can contest the deletion by removing the prod notice and fixing the article up to make it clear that it shouldn't be deleted. You might want to explain your reasoning on the talk page.

Now, it's totally your right to remove the prod tag if you think the article shouldn't be deleted. But, please, read the policy first and see if it really can meet Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines. If it can't, I'd ask you to let it be deleted, but continue contributing. When I posted the welcome message thanking you for your contributions, I meant it--I appreciate your effort.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the prod notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If the tag is removed but the article still doesn't look okay for Wikipedia, I'll go ahead and send it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it'll be discussed (and you can defend it there). If that happens, there'll be a different notice which you won't be allowed to remove--it'll say so on the banner, so you can't get confused. Whatever is decided at AfD will be basically final.

Thanks in advance for being reasonable about everything. No harm is intended, we just can't keep every article if it isn't encyclopedic. NickelShoe (Talk) 15:22, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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 Spec. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Spec~enwiki 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. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

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
