User talk:Bernard Macdougall

RE: Vietnamese police accused of hacking and harrassing Facebook user in Europe
I would forward what you do have to scoop@wikinewsie.org or join our IRC channel on freenode: irc.freenode.com at #wikinews. Sounds like an interesting story, but would need to see all the evidence at hand before passing any judgment on it being news. If you need help connecting to our channel, feel free to ask me for assistance. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 22:01, 28 June 2010 (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 Bernard Macdougall. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bernard Macdougall~enwikinews 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.

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 23:14, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
