User talk:Milomedes~enwikinews

Welcome
Milomedes, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! → CGorman (Talk) 17:21, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Proposing articles
This is a guideline for proposing an article. Go here. It addresses most, if not all of your concerns. --SVTCobra 00:45, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Quoted from User talk:SVTCobra:
 * "This is a guideline for proposing an article. ...--SVTCobra" I did see that page, and quickly determined that I did not have time to propose an article. I was getting ready to depart when I saw on the main page an alternative as follows:


 * "Start a new article ... To report on a news event, check if it is already being covered. If not, write a quick brief or enter a good headline below to start a full article. "


 * I entered the headline as it says. Now, if that's wrong, and just entering a headline isn't welcome, then the main page needs to be clarified to reflect actual policy. Quoted timestamp: Milo 01:14, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


 * No, you didn't do anything wrong. That's why your article is still in the Newsroom as "developing" and not "disputed." I have even added a source myself. But now that you are back online, perhaps you can add to your article. --SVTCobra 01:34, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oops, Thunderhead has nominated your article for deletion. --SVTCobra 01:43, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll go ahead and try to clean up the article. I thought it was a copy of something else we already had.  Thunderhead  ►  01:46, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


 * "No, you didn't do anything wrong. ...--SVTCobra" Thanks, glad to hear it. Milo 18:23, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Your question
I've replied here: Wikinews_talk:Welcommittee.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 13:26, 23 March 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 Milomedes. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Milomedes~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 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
