Signature
[edit]Hi Hernan!
Yes, you can alter your signature, although there are guidelines, and altering your signature requires some knowledge of wikimarkup or HTML. In short, you signature should not become misleading, should be short when viewed in an edit window, should not contain an image or anything that would drain the server, and should not draw attention to itself by distorting other posts (line height, flashing, unreadable etc).
You're best to experiment here, or in the sandbox or in your own sandbox: User:Hernan Javier/Sandbox. When you get something that suits you and works to Wikipedia guidelines, you can then copy-and-paste the code (not the saved sig!) to the right place in your preferences - top right-hand corner or Special:Preferences. There's a section about signatures. Turn on the option for a raw signature.
Hope this helps and happy editing! ➨ ЯEDVERS 18:54, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Wikimedia Stories Project
[edit]Aloha!
My name is Victor and I work with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. We're 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 new people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who use Wikipedia have so much to share.
I find stories that drive our annual fundraising efforts. It's important to convey the incredible diversity of people who've come to rely upon Wikipedia every day.
I'd really like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia.
I will be in Buenos Aires from the 10th - 11th of March 2012.
I'm hoping you will elaborate on your story with me. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project!
Thank you,
Victor Grigas
