P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).

P.P.S. I took the liberty of redirecting your article to our existing one on Tangentopoli. Generally, we don't have quote marks around the articles. Best of luck and keep contributing.

The Alex Zanotelli affair[edit]

Hi there! I was just reading about the problems with Alex Zanotelli being deleted while you were in the middle of working on it, and needing to be undeleted afterwards, and though I might share a tip - if you're planning to write or translate an article that you know is going to take you a little while, create it as a sub-page of your user page (e.g. User:Shezarainbow/Alex Zanotelli), work on it there, then when you're finished, use the "Move" function to move it to it's proper location. Anyone who sees that will know that it's your "work in progress", and you won't have to worry about people deleting it for being in a foreign language or anything. —Stormie 22:56, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)

User categorisation[edit]

You were listed on the Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Italy page as living in or being associated with Italy. As part of the Wikipedia:User categorisation project, these lists are being replaced with user categories. If you would like to add yourself to the category that is replacing the page, please visit Category:Wikipedians in Italy for instructions. --Army1987 21:09, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

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