User talk:Denton~enwiki
Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial

- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: NaodW29-nowiki3e8f5d9fb1f8ae400000001. Four tildes (NaodW29-nowiki3e8f5d9fb1f8ae400000002) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! -- Phyzome is Tim McCormack 01:33, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)

Sign your posts
[edit]Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:53, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 17:53, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- Also, please don't delete sourced material, as you did here:[1], without a good reason and an explanation, Likewise, please don't add unsourced, non-neutral material without any explanation, as you did here: [2]. We don't add our own opinions to article- we only add opinions that have been expressed in reliable sources. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 17:57, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- Please use the talk page to discuss, rather than just reverting back and forth. See talk:Six Sigma. Please give your reasoning there. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 21:46, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- Please use talk:Six Sigma to discuss this with the other active users. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 22:02, 21 July 2008 (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 Denton. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Denton~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

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)
