User talk:Marvao~enwiki

January 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added to the page Romania do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Green Giant (talk) 16:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

In response to your message on my talkpage, please note that I removed your links on the basis of:

• The conflict of interest section which states that "you should avoid linking to a website that you own, maintain or represent, even if the guidelines otherwise imply that it should be linked." The fact that your username is similar to the website you added tells me you are either somehow involved in the website or you are a fan. Either way you did not make a specific case for each article you added the links to. I would recommend that you propose the links on the appropriate talkpages and let neutral unconnected editors decide whether the links should be included.
• A lack of external links, or a small number of external links is not by itself a reason to add external links. In particular a linked site has to provide good information beyond what is needed for featured article status. For all country articles I tend to recommend a limited set of external links - official government pages (but not ministry pages), wikipedia-related sites (e.g. Wikia and Wikitravel) and a neutral directory (DMOZ) recommended by Wikipedia:External links.

As far as other possible spam links there is only so much time I have (at this moment I am due at work in 10 minutes), so I cannot speak for any other external links that might have been missed. However, first thing tomorrow morning I will look at them and see if they comply with the guidelines. Green Giant (talk) 20:32, 9 January 2008 (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 Marvao. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Marvao~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
