Hi Tony, I just wanted to thank you for salvaging this article, its a topic very close to my heart. And I don't care if it's encyclopedic or not! --Scratch 14:45, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
- No problem. I like it too. It had been speedied by an admin who is new to the job.
- Have you heard of Wipipedia? If not, I suggest it may be worth a visit. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:49, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
SPUI
[edit]Please help everyone maintain a civil environment: please don't harass other users. Thank you. --MarkSweep 23:12, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
- How very polite and civil of you, I see you left SPUI's allegorical death threat in place. Exactly how stupid are you? Scratch 23:20, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
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 Scratch. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Scratch~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
