Nicholas Aranda article

It may seem somewhat perverse to be telling you this after posting a welcome message, but I'm afraid your "Nicholas Aranda" article has been deleted per Wikiquote guidelines. I'd like to explain how this happened, in the hopes that this initial unfortunate start won't prevent you from participating in this project.

• First, Wikiquote is a compendium of quotes from notable sources, i.e., those whose quotations tend to come from published sources. It is not, as many newcomers believe, a place for everyone to add their own quotes.
• However, all users are welcome to add their own quotes (along with information about themselves or their interests) on their user pages. If you happen to be Nicholas Aranda himself, your quotes can be added to User:Naranda7. (I can recover them for you if you desire, so you won't have to type them in again.)
• When an article is nominated for deletion, it announces to the community that someone believes the article is not appropriate for Wikiquote, based on its guidelines. When the article is about a person, it usually means that the nominator suspects it to be a "vanity" page, which is a quote page from the editor rather than a famous person with published quotes. This is why we ask for "evidence of notability", like publications, broadcast or cinematic sources, etc. If such information is added, it will typically be verified. For example, your temporary addition of "Preface to Paradise Lost" made me consider that you might be quoting John Milton, so I checked and found no preface in the Project Gutenberg copy of PL.
• While an article is under consideration for deletion, it is against policy to remove the VfD (vote for deletion) tag from the article. It doesn't change the review process (except possibly to bias other editors against the tag remover), but it does prevent other readers of the article from noticing that it is under review for deletion. We've had several articles whose deletion was prevented because their readers saw that VfD announcement and decided to register their opinions and work to save the article. (Veronica Mars was an excellent example. Not only did several editors provide sourceable quotes, but we eventually got a new administrator from their number.)
• Finally, the oddly-timed welcome message I posted is in part a means to provide newcomers with useful links to information about Wikiquote. Unfortunately, we don't have the large numbers of maintenance editors that Wikipedia has, so new editors sometimes don't get this helpful message in a timely fashion. I feel that we might have done better by you if we'd posted this message earlier on your talk page.

I hope that you may find Wikiquote an interesting place to read and edit, despite this negative experience. Feel free to post any questions or comments you may have to my talk page. Thank you for your understanding and patience. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 14:55, 18 February 2006 (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 Naranda7. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Naranda7~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
