Other persons

Hi. I'm not up on disambigs, so I'm puzzled by this. Why would that be needed? It's not like it's sitting on Goldsmith because of WP:PRIME. Is the concern that we have biogs on other Goldsmiths with similar first names? --Dweller (talk) 10:30, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey! I don't know, you tell me what's best... I just started adding all those disambiguation links because when I searched "Goldsmith" (because I was wondering to whom Dickens was referring in **Hard Times**), I ended up on the goldsmith page, with no link to a disambiguation page. When I did a search, in the first 20 pages, the disambiguation page wasn't listed, and none of the pages linked to it. I thought I needed to create it, and when I created the link, I found out it was blue: there was already a disambiguation page, but I hadn't found it yet. Hence, I thought it would be a good idea to link to it. Now if that isn't such a good idea, no worries, just tell me what I should be doing instead... --Marianika (talk) 16:21, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I think we only do that for people with similar names (like the various David Stewarts). Why would someone who searches for "Nick Goldsmith" be interested in anyone else called Goldsmith? However, there are two Dave Stewarts who are musicians, so the hat notes help them find the one they want. Does that make sense to you? --Dweller (talk) 10:06, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

For what it's worth, the links mention that there are other people with the name "Goldsmith" on the disambiguation page, but those names shouldn't really be on the disambiguation page at all. They should be on a separate page (Goldsmith (surname)) per MOS:DABNAME. I'll go ahead and make that page, and you guys can decide what to do with the hatnote links (as long as they don't go to the dab, I'm fine with them). Dekimasuよ! 10:38, 8 July 2009 (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 Marianika. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Marianika~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

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
