Hello. Can you please tell me, what was wrong with the way I originally formatted the page? Eon 18:57, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

We discourage the grouping of quotes by subject, instead sorting them in chronological order. Although in many cases some sort of grouping may be obvious, there may also be times when it is not so obvious and such grouping may reflect a user's point of view. It may also make it harder for someone to find a specific quote if unsure of how they are grouped. This topic has been discussed before and the consensus was that we should not divide quotes by theme because it is inherently POV and people may have different ideas about what theme or subject a given quote belongs to. ~ UDScott 19:07, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

A few examples: Pete Doherty, Ray Cash, Derek R. Audette, Noel Gallagher, Kinky Friedman. Eon 21:35, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Those pages should be changed as well. For some background on this subject, refer to the following: Talk:Simon Conway Morris or Wikiquote:Village_pump#Subdivisions_of_sourced_quotes_by_theme. I'm sure there are other discussions even further back on this topic. The bottom line to the discussions is that since separating quotes by topic or theme is something that each user might do differently, it reflects that person's point of view. The consensus is that the best way to structure the pages is to have the quotes listed chronologically since this results in a consistent way of presenting them. I will post this topic on Village Pump again to solicit some more thoughts on the matter. ~ UDScott 12:33, 8 May 2008 (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 Eon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Eon~enwikiquote 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
