User talk:Tlarson~enwikinews

Welcome
Tlarson, 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! -- Davodd | Talk 18:11, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Are you going to put that article up?
It sounded fabulous, and I was just checking for sources... - Amgine 03:30, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wrong link to citation
The link at the bottom of the article, "Taiwan’s Blue Camp pays respects on the thirtieth anniversary of the passing of Chiang Kai-shek" is for a completely different story, "Syria Promises Lebanon Withdrawal by April 30" from The New York Times.

I searched on the Voice of America web site, and could not find the cited article.

Is there a link to this story?

It sounds somewhat plausible, but as it stands this story does not have any citations to back it up.

I was only able to find a historical and an indirect piece for the background of this story:


 * Chiang planned to take action to reclaim lost lands
 * PFP CHAIRMAN VOWS TO COMMUNICATE WITH PRESIDENT ON CROSS-STRAIT TIES

If there is only a link to a page written in Chinese, that would help - I can ask someone to read it for me to at least verify its contents. &mdash; DV 08:36, 6 Apr 2005 (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 Tlarson. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tlarson~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 23:36, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
