User talk:WillWare

Welcome
WillWare, 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! - Brian McNeil / talk 14:14, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Quantum byte
A few folks have done some changes to make your Quantum byte story conform to Wikinews standards, and I've looked on the Nature site for the article but can't find it too readily. Do you have a link to the story on their website, or is it currently only in the print edition? Brian McNeil / talk 16:01, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

I found it on digg.com, which pointed me to the research group's website. I don't have more information than appears in the article. -- WillWare 16:51, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I found a German source and added it to the article. Someone else found a picture to stick on it and the thing is now published and up on the front page.  See if you like how it has developed. Brian McNeil / talk 17:37, 1 December 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 WillWare. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name WillWare~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)
