User talk:AndrewT~specieswiki

Welcome to Wikispecies!

Hello, and welcome to Wikispecies! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

• Help:Contents provides a good introduction to editing Wikispecies.
• Templates are there to help you to follow our syntax and formatting standards.
• Have a look at Done and to do.

If you have named a taxon, then it is likely that there is (or will be) a Wikispecies page about you, and other pages about your published papers. Please see our advice and guidance for taxon authors.

If you have useful images to contribute to Wikispecies, please upload them at Wikimedia Commons. This is also true for video or audio files containing bird songs, whale vocalization, etc.

Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username (if you're logged in) and the date. Please also read the Wikispecies policy What Wikispecies is not. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or in the Village Pump. Again, welcome!

PRE tag or #

I noticed your user page has some nice long lists of ideas/issues. To have the numbering appear as you see it when you're editing it put a <pre> and </pre> tag around everything or use # at the start of each line instead of hard-coded numbers. --Georgeryp 01:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Hash sign works great. Moved most of that stuff to a slightly more private page until I rewrite it in a more articulate manner. Any idea why I can't get "Category:External Link Templates" to show up on my page (it's supposed to be in my Useful Links section). Generally speaking should I post a followup like this on my page, or on your page?AndrewT 06:32, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Put a colon right before "Category", like this [[:Category:External Link Templates]] to get the link, so it doesn't include the page itself in the category (with the corresponding link it puts at the bottom of the page). I *guess* the default convention for talk page responses is to put replies on the user's talk page instead of your own (so they get the automated notification that someone modified their talkpage) but I prefer keeping the entire thread of the conversation on one page (I've mimicked others that prefer this way and put a note at the top of my talk page to that effect). --Georgeryp 04:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

I really want to thank you for your efforts. It's refreshing to have around here someone with the knowledge and expertice which we desperatly need. I only hope you'll continue with the good work and show us all the right way. Mariusm 06:28, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

on language updates

Thanks for the revised information! I look forward to wikispecies being available to people in every language, regardless of how the taxonomies are written... Sj 02:02, 2 March 2009 (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 AndrewT. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name AndrewT~specieswiki 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
