Brimstone[edit]
Hey Jeff, thanks for the help with the clean-up! I saw that a bracket was left so I just nixed it. Is there anything else you think I need to do in order to ensure the wiki-quality? The templates were the biggest issue for me, I could not figure out what I was doing wrong. Thanks again! RingWars2007 17:32, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- I hate to mention it after all your work on the templates in Brimstone (wrestler), but we don't typically use footnotes for source citations on Wikiquote. Standard source lines are double-bulleted under each quote. (See Wikiquote:Templates/People for our standard structure/formatting example.) When we do use footnotes for quote sources, it's usually to collect a bunch of identical citations with slightly different information, or with much more detail than is necessary for the basic source citation. (Take a look at some of the footnotes in Dean Koontz for a substantial example of the former; Mae West demonstrates the latter.) Even so, many editors feel these end-note citations defeat the requirement to make clear, specific sources obvious for the reader, as it requires a jump to the page bottom to review the source.
- I'm not saying you should change it, but don't be surprised if someone else recommends a change or does it themselves. We have some prototype policies on these matters at Wikiquote:Sourcing and Wikiquote:Citing sources, but I believe discussion on them is currently stalled — a not uncommon situation here. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:53, 18 June 2007 (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 RingWars2007. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name RingWars2007~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
