User talk:Hardwork~enwiki
Welcome to Wikipedia
[edit]From a dusky, dark alley I welcome you to Wikipedia! Down these glassy, rain-stained streets walk men and women of hope - some of them tarnished by experience, but still valiant in their cause.
Ur, that cause, by the way, you can learn more about at the five pillars of Wikipedia. It sounds like a beautiful, porcelain temple, and it is - a temple of questions, some of them the kind that keep you up until 3 AM wondering at the mystery of it all.
Let me pour you a drink. I drink club soda myself. Occupational hazard. You may have some other questions about how things work in this town. When I first got here, I'd been a dick for a while, you know - a private writing dick. I had my novels in a drawer, lots of stories about cool dames in china blue dresses, and the PIs who loved them.
But I had questions too. This Wikipedia joint, it has standards. It's open to everyone, but everyone's responsible for making it smooth and cool, you dig?
As I pounded the pavement, I found that the more I edited my way through these streets, the more questions I had. Questions I could only find answers to when I closed my eyes and thought really, really hard about moonlight. Except that didn't help. It was much easier for me to practice using the tutorial, and the sandbox.
But I think you'll like this town. I hope you decide to stay. We always need more brave, valiant writers and editors in Burberry trenchcoats. Actually, you don't need a trenchcoat.
One more thing. When you greet people - don't let them know you're packing, if you're packing. I got in trouble that way once. Sign your name when you talk, using four tildes (~ is a tilde) typed in a row; this will automatically produce your name and the date. Tildes can be trusted. They're legit.
If you need help or backup on a tough day, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
P.S. Yes, I am a Raymond Chandler fan. Noirdame 20:46, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Your article College of engineering roorkee has appeared in the Dead End Pages list because it is not wikified. Please consult the Wikipedia Guide to Layout for more information on how to write a good, wikified article. I would encourage you to revisit your submissions and {{wikify}} them. Thanks and happy editing! James084 19:30, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
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 Hardwork. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hardwork~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
