Thorson~enwiki

Hi, Thorson~enwiki, Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, salut, privjet, nihao, anyeong haseyo, konnichiwa, hola, salaam, ciao, and hi! Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ; plus, if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). And if you have any more questions, feel free to post them on my user talk page or add {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly. Also, don't forget to visit the directory of portals where you're sure to find an interesting topic!

Additional tips

Here are some extra tips to help you get around in Wikipedia:

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills or test Wiki markup, then the Sandbox is for you. On this page, you can make whatever edits you like.
You should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~).
You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
If you want to customize your user page, then check out the large collection of userboxes.
If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.

American Union

I have proposed the American Union aricle you created for deletion. This is because it seems to lack any sources that proves of its existence. If you can give more citations and/or rewrite the article based on existing sources, then I will remove the tag. Thank you. Mar de Sin ^{Speak up!} 16:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please do not be so suspicious. The reason I did not want American Union on Wikipedia is because there is nothing on Google with exact name. However, there is the North American Union, which sadly has been deleted, not by me. Please request undeletion for that article and expand it so that others will know that it's a proposed idea and not a real organization (if it is a real organization-then give a link). Wikipedia does not promote censorship, but Wikipedia also does not allow hoaxes here. I'm not saying you article is a hoax, but if you do not assert the real meaning of "American/NorthAmerican Union" and do not give link(s) that deal with the exact phrase "North American Union" or "American Union", then other Wikipedia will doubt the authenticity of the article. Thank you. If you need any help, feel free to stop by my talk page. Mar de Sin ^{Speak up!} 19:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

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 Thorson. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Thorson~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
