User talk:Uncle G's 'bot~enwikinews

Approved?
Has this bot been approved by Wikinews Administrators? I do not see it listed under Wikinews bots. -- NGerda 00:26, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Looking at the bot's user page, it appears that Uncle G has specifically not requested bot status yet... Incidentally, we don't appear to have a published bot policy. In my opinion, the idea behind this bot is excellent. Do you have specific concerns about this bot, NGerda? --Chiacomo (talk) 00:36, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Wikimedia policy is for all bots to be Admin-approved, or deleted. I do not have any specific concerns, it's just that this bot must follow policy, just as you or I must follow policy.  -- NGerda 00:42, August 10, 2005 (UTC)


 * "To register a bot, please mention its name and the local wiki on which it will work here and make a public announcement about your intention on the local wiki and add a link to this annoucement here. The status will be given if no one will oppose your request." (from Meta Permissions Page I wouldn't want to grant the bot flag without first seeing a bot's action publicly (and on RC). Testing before the flag is better than testing after the flag (where edits are less visible). Again, perhaps we should develop our own bot policy. --Chiacomo (talk) 00:51, 10 August 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 Uncle G's 'bot. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Uncle G's 'bot~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 23:23, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
