Cleanup in Aisle Three
Hi there. I updated your article with some brash editing. Most stark is the removal of the supplemental material you provided. Unfortunately, here at Wikinews, we only publish news. That extra material is generally regarded as cruft, and its source is dubious anyhow. Wikinews cannot publish material which is subject to copyright, and the material you submitted appears to fall under the classification of copyrighted material.

In any case. I did some massive wikilinking. I noticed that you added a full "external link" to a Wikipedia article. You should know that you don't need to do that; in order to link to a Wikipedia article like Potato, you would type Potato.

I also added a wikilink to another sister site, Wiktionary. Similarly, you'd get potato if you typed potato (note the lowercase; that's a wiktionary convention).

I hope you don't mind that I removed three of your four sources. Let me explain why:
 * 1) The BBC Video that you linked to was not viewable in my browser. I run a pretty standard copy of Firefox. If it's not viewable to me, there's a good chance that it's not viewable to a substantial (more than 5%) amount of our audience. Text articles are vastly preferred.
 * 2) The Self Help newsletter is full of material unrelated to the subject of the article. Since that material cannot be singled out, and the group in question stands to gain quite a bit of attention, it's not proper to link to this PDF. In addition, again with my first point, a substantial part of our audience cannot view PDFs without additional software.
 * 3) The third site (in my brief, perhaps too brief, review) didn't seem credible as a news source. What citing sources, we like to stick to sources that have little or no bias. This one is probably the site I am least concerned about, and if you feel it's a good source, please add it again (using the template I used for the BBC text article).

If there's anything you have questions about, please let me know. You can click on the little "t" next to my name to reach my talk page. Thank you for your contributions. irid:t 07:18, 24 August 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 Necessary. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Necessary~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 23:19, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
