Please exercise a little more restraint in placing your new Category:Extremism on articles-- a number that you have used it on are clearly not inherently extremist: Agnosticism, Criticism of religion, Religion, Ethics, Political criticism, among others, are simply not reasonable category members. The category itself is of doubtful value, as assigning is is largely a matter of point of view, which is something we strive to avoid at Wikipedia. -- Mwanner | Talk 18:35, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

On thinking this over more, I have decided to nominate the category for deletion. You may argue against its deletion here if you wish.

Sorry for this negative start to your career here at Wikipedia-- don't feel bad, this sort of thing happens a lot. Wikipedia is a huge place with an immense amount of policy, none of which is real obvious when you start out. I'm going to include a standard welcome message, to help you get started.

Welcome!

Thank you

Thank you for trying to keep the Graham Staines article, fair and unbiased.--Kathanar 16:26, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

If you're interested, theres a move to delete a category [[1]] on religious supremacists by some with that agenda, please take alook if you would like to put your two cent in --Kathanar 23:05, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

No worries, thanks for replying though, I was just away myself last couple of weeks, hope your holidays were good, I'll talk to you soon. Have a great day!--Kathanar 14:29, 23 January 2007 (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 Poulton. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Poulton~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

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!
