December 2008[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to The Co-operative Insurance has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. لenna vecia 14:40, 1 December 2008 (UTC) [reply]

Sorry about that. In the future, please use edit summaries, so we know you're not just blanking pages! :) Thanks for your contributions! لenna vecia 14:46, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Llwch![edit]

Rubisco

I've reverted your edit to List of lochs of Scotland since 'llwch' is indeed the older word for lake in Welsh and is cognate with the similar words found in Scottish and Irish Gaelic (but not cognate with 'llyn' - the modern Welsh word for 'lake'). It also happens to be the word for dust in Welsh - though technically it is actually a different word which happens to have the same spelling. Llyn y Fan Fawr for example was formerly known as Llwch Tawe - and is referred to as such in the Mabinogion. Thought I'd explain the reversion so you don't think I'm just being awkward. cheers Geopersona (talk) 17:33, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your explanation at List of lochs of Scotland is a useful one. thanks Geopersona (talk) 18:12, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed[edit]

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 Rubisco. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Rubisco~enwiki 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. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

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

Renamed[edit]

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
