Enjoy! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:16, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Don't welcome me. You don't know me. If I wanted your welcome I would have told you so you God forsaken hippie. MegaloManiac 13:37, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the laugh! I'll have to show my friends your comment. I'm just about the last person in the world someone would call a hippie. As the saying goes, "Don't judge a book by its cover". ☺ ~ Jeff Q (talk) 14:49, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- Whatever. And why is there nothing on Vorarephilia here? MegaloManiac 13:33, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
- Probably because nobody so far wanted to create one. But it's a legitimate (if yucky) topic, so you're welcome to be bold and do so yourself. However, please note that we prefer reliably-sourced quotes at Wikiquote. (Sources can be filled in later, but I don't anticipate many people will want to touch this topic.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:26, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
- So are you like the wikimedia equavelent of that old dude in wal-mart who hands out stickers and says hi? MegaloManiac 18:34, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, except I get paid even less (i.e., zero). Actually, anyone can do this for anyone else. It's not only a nice way to start off a new user's wiki experience, but also a way to provide useful links that may help them avoid common mistakes (thus selfishly helping more experienced wiki editors who otherwise spend time and effort fixing those mistakes). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:27, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- What is the definition of quote? Does someone have to be famous to be quoted? MegaloManiac 18:55, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, yes. In order to be included here, they should be notable. I quote from the Wikiquote:Wikiquote page: Notable: We limit ourselves to quotations which are notable. A quotation can be notable either because it has achieved fame by itself, but more usually because it was said by someone notable, or appeared in a notable work. That's why I kept removing your quote from the Religious page. It's not from a notable person. If you would like to add it to your user page, feel free. And please don't stoop to calling me names just because I'm enforcing the guidelines of the site. ~ UDScott 19:09, 1 May 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 MegaloManiac. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name MegaloManiac~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
