User talk:Commerce~enwiki

An anonymous IP left me this message on my user page. I'm assuming it was about the Queen's University Muslim Students' Association and that either you or User:Mamounm left me the message, so I'll reply to both of you. First of all, you should know that the general practice is to leave people comments, questions, etc. on their talk page. Editing someone else's user page can be considered a form of vandalism, but since you're new it was probably just a mistake.

You may want to read Wikipedia's policies on notability. Generally we have held that a national group is notable (such as the Muslim Student Association), while individual chapters are not. Circle K (Kiwanis) also has thousands of college chapters across the North American continent, yet I can't find a single entry on wikipedia for one of those chapters. I can also assure oyu that if you peruse the articles for deletion, you will notice that this is not the only college chapter of a group that has been flagged for deletion. You claim that there are other similar groups which have not been flagged for deletion. If you can bring a specific example or two to my attention I'll be happy to try and explain the logic or flag for afd if I feel it's appropriate. --Bachrach44 16:13, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi.. this is a test message. Did you receive it?

Re: test

Yes, I got your test. (So you obviously figured out how to find the talk pages). Just so you know, every page has a talk page. In many articles in the encyclopedia the talk page is used for people to discus the content of the page. Also as another tip you can sign messages with 4 tildes: ~~~~. This makes it easier for others to know who left a given message. --Bachrach44 20:41, 10 April 2006 (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 Commerce. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Commerce~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
