User talk:Cat~enwiki

Hi Cat, welcome to Wikipedia. This place is highly addictive and should have a mandatory government health warning printed on the packet.

I see you have started with a small attack on that gaping empty wilderness area, Australian plants. Great! That is an area that desperately needs filling out - the number of major plant families that don't even have an entry yet is something that I've been meaning to have a go at for some time now. I hope you enjoy it here. Tannin

Hi Tannin! You think this place is addictive?! You should try H2G2!!

Yep, I launched a small offensive last night on the Aussie plants page - I'll hopefully add to it within the next few days, and then move on to some of the more specific plant families. I'm glad I paid attention in some of my lectures last semester...!

I really like the way this whole system works - the problem with h2g2 is that once something's in the 'edited guide', it's fairly hard to get it changed, and there's a social ladder there, on which the majority of people don't even appear. This, despite all the bells and whistles they've got over there, seems to work a lot better. Cat

Hi, I'm WD-40, if you want to know more about me, go to my page.

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