Bayajidda[edit]

Hi Dierk. I'd like to thank you for transcribing a full version of the Bayajidda (or Abuyazidu) tale and putting it online here - it was a great help to me when writing the article about Bayajidda. In fact, a tidbit from the article was recently included on Template:did you know, and, because of this, transcluded onto the main page! Again, thanks for providing the resource - without it, the article might just be a short little stub. Picaroon 19:32, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HMS Victory[edit]

Hi, thanks for your message. I'm nto sure the link provided satisfies the criteria in WP:EL and feel that the article could do with additional editing rather than just another link. I would encourage you not to re-add the link. raseaC^{talk to me} 21:37, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification (for Dierk Lange)[edit]

Hi, this message is to let you know about disambiguation links you've recently created. A link to a disambiguation page is almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

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 Dierk Lange. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dierk Lange~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

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.
