User talk:Taruru~enwikisource

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikisource! Thank you for joining the project. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• Help pages
• Style Guide
• Inclusion policy

Please consider putting a brief description of yourself on your user page. If you are already a contributor to another Wikimedia project, such as Wikipedia, please mention this on your user page so we know how to contact you. Also, mention which languages you understand if English is not your first language.

In any case, I hope you enjoy donating your time to grow the Wikisource library that is free for everyone to use! In discussions, please "sign" your comments using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question here (click edit) and place {{helpme}} before your question.

Again, welcome! John Vandenberg ^(chat) 07:05, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanatopsis

Since you have mentioned that you are working on Thanatopsis, please feel free to take a scholarly approach in improving our text. Also note that in contrast to Wikipedia (which is intending to build a single cohesive text), Wikisource do have strict policies as each text we have is a distinct unit, so you are more than welcome to take ownership of the page and improve on it to your hearts content, and others will only interfere by making suggestions on the talk page. Here are a few things that can be done:

• I have added an excerpt from Wikipedia, which you are more than welcome to expand or alter.
• The actual issue it appeared in The North American Review should be noted.
• Categories need to be added. see Category:Works
• We want our texts to be accompanied by scans of the original printed editions, so we can proof read the text.
• If it was revised, and the revisions are also in the public domain, we want to record all variations; if later editions vary wildly from the original, we could set up separate pages. see The Bell-Buoy for an example.
• Where words or phrases in the text are are unusual, uncommon, or have less obvious meanings, we link to the appropriate Wikipedia article, or annotate the text.

If you can do most of these, the text can be discussed as a Featured text candidate and be placed on the Wikisource front page for a month.

Let me know if you need a hand with any of the above. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 05:48, 31 March 2008 (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 Taruru. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Taruru~enwikisource 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.

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
