Welcome Notes

Welcome!

Hello, Shareme~enwiki, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! andy 20:35, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Lucky you haven't seen the first greeting put onto your talk page - because that one was done by a vandal, who would have misguided you to a very controversial (and hopefully soon deleted) porn image. Luckily that vandal also attacked my talk page, so I noticed that wrongdoing and could undo it quickly. andy 20:58, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi Shareme

My own welcome to Wikipedia as well. You've been writing some great stuff on Java-related topics and it's great to see you contributing so much to Wikipedia.

I thought you should probably know that by tradition we don't sign our articles on Wikipedia. There are two reasons for this. One is that the history keeps track of who contributed what, so there is no need. The second is that signatures go against the idea of common ownership. Everything you write here is for the use of everybody, and it may be altered beyond your recognition, which makes a signature worthless. Plus the idea of 'ownership' of text in any way is foreign to Wikipedia, and we don't want to encourage it. I've remoVed your signatures.

I notice that some of your articles have titles like "Introduction to XXXX". Where we already have an article on XXXX you might want to think about adding to that article rather than starting a new one. At Wikipedia we try to avoid having more than one article on the same subject - it confuses people and makes them do more reading for the same information. If the information in your article is the same as the main one you should particularly think about merging them.

I hope that's helpful. I'l see you around. DJ Clayworth 13:36, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Some of the stuff you are writing reads more like a textbook than an encyclopedia article. Have you considered looking at Wikibooks? DJ Clayworth 13:49, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

wiki book

J2ME long articles will be moved to anew wiki book probably called Programming in The J2ME Platform..

More than likely subsections will be MIDP devices, CDC Devices(itv, telematics), and other J2ME technology

Will be correcting errors in encyclopedia entries so that we have correc tinformation matching the wiki book as well..

My username on wikibooks is the same username here to help in tracking these changes

An Introduction to Buildsystem Design

I notice that you never transwikied this article although you transwikied several others. There's barely the beginnings of a wikibook there, and it is not really worth transwikifying in its current state. (I'm clearing the Wikibooks queue at the moment.) You could just as easily start a wikibook again from scratch on Wikibooks. If you wish this article to be transwikied, then either let me know soon or simply transwiki it yourself (as you did the others). Uncle G 19:04:59, 2005-08-18 (UTC)

Puzzled

What did you mean by this? --Dweller (talk) 16:15, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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