User talk:Ermeyers~enwikiversity

Thanks Eric - good to have you with us :-) Cormaggio 12:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the greeting user:ermeyers. You seem to have already learned the sheer power of a personal contact with other potential members of a community. Wikipedia contributer "maveric129" filled this role out magnificently at Wikipedia for several years and ultimately ended up as the Wikimedia Foundation treasurer for another several years. I believe he had some macros or other automated techniqes to help him find new users and welcome them to the community. He had a knack for providing links to useful information such as policy and guidelines applicable to specific errors he observed. He became a first source to turn to with questions by advising newcomers he was happy to hear from them and attempt to assist with finding answers. Depending on what area of community building you choose to purse he might be able to provide you with very valuable insight into effective methods and mistakes to avoid in online communities built around wikis. It is great to have you on-board. Mirwin 05:12, 18 August 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 Ermeyers. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ermeyers~enwikiversity 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 23:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
