User talk:Tian~enwiki

Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has now been removed. Please use Wikipedia:Sandbox for any other tests you want to do, since testing material in articles will normally be removed quickly. Please see the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks.

Please do not create articles with only an interwiki link. The new article needs to have at least a stub's content in English first. Thanks! – Jrdioko (Talk) 02:06, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips to help you get started:

If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
Read the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!
Jrdioko

P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).

hi, jrdioko, i am not testing. i am seriously bridging china-related topics to chinese wikipedia.Tian 02:05, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I realize that now. Please see my comment above. Links to the Chinese Wikipedia are great, but only if an article also exists on the English version. – Jrdioko (Talk) 02:08, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I think a cross-language interwiki link as a start instead of the widely-accepted stub should be ok. Because such link also pushes and encourages the later contributers and shows useful hint. How come an empty entry is acceptable but a cross-language interwiki link in it is not?Tian 02:15, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I couldn't find any policies with a direct statement that such pages were not allowed, but several of them (especially references to sub-stubs) made it sound that way. A sole interwiki link might encourage contribution in a way, but it displays wrong on the page and those searching for that topic in the English Wikipedia would be taken to an article with just a few Chinese characters and no information. An empty entry falls under the same category and should not be included in Wikipedia either. What situation led you to believe that an empty entry is acceptable? I'm probably not giving you the best answer to your question, so maybe you should ask on Wikipedia:Help desk to get a more detailed answer from other contributors. Thanks! – Jrdioko (Talk) 02:59, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

thank you for your reply, anyway. Tian 07:50, 4 Jul 2004 (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 Tian. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tian~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
