October 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Thanksgiving (United States), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. You removed part of the introduction to this article, claiming it is a civil, not a religious festival. But you provide no source for this edit other than your own views. Meanwhile, the reality is that this day was introduced by the Pilgrim Fathers enacting the European Harvest Festival and most certainly WAS a religious observance. Whether everybody who celebrates thanksgiving today do so from a religious perspective is a different matter - and that's not what the article introduction said.

I am going to put some useful links at the top of this page which will help you to understand what makes a good Wikipedia edit. B1atv 13:15, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

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 Spidey3. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Spidey3~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
