Additional tips...

Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.

If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.

Good luck, and have fun. --Legosock ^(talk) 23:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hot damn[edit]

Look how big that "welcome to Wikipedia" box is up there... All I got was a "howdy doo welcome to wikiwhatever." What an outrage. Powerslave (talk|cont.) 04:44, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

		The Facetious Vandalism Barnstar
		Awarded for this breath-taking edit to the corn dog article, until it was reverted by a wiki-vigilante. Here's to more vandalism! Powerslave (talk\|cont.) 06:35, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

October 2009[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Template:Avril Lavigne, you will be blocked from editing. Alankc (talk) 02:40, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to Girlfriend (Avril Lavigne song). If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. Alankc (talk) 02:43, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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 Hornickels. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hornickels~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
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

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)
