List of questions about Wikiversity
--Roger 13:31, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) I have found the Online Etymology Dictionary on Wikipedia or Wikiversity somewhere, but can't find it anymore. How do I get there?
 * 2) e-mail, log-in table: under "e-mail" I gave my real e-mail address. But I think that's not the right thing. I don't understand the problem with confirmation of e-mail.

Online Etymology Dictionary
Were you looking for this Online Etymology Dictionary, I wonder? -- Jtneill - Talk - c 13:44, 18 September 2008 (UTC) Many thanks, Itneill. --Roger 13:53, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Email
You only need to confirm your email address if you want to allow other users to click on the "E-mail this user" link and be able to send you email. I just tried to do that (to email you), and got "No e-mail address - This user has not specified a valid e-mail address, or has chosen not to receive e-mail from other users.". -- Jtneill - Talk - c 13:49, 18 September 2008 (UTC) -- Ah, now I see. I'm going to confirm my email address. Thanks, --Roger 13:56, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Unified login
I replied on the Colloquium, but I'm wondering whether you have the same name on the different wiki projects, e.g., is this you? w:User:Roger. I suspect not - although note that that person hasn't edited since 2002. This is not really an area I know much about, but you can 'usurp' a name which someone else has registered on a wiki project but which hasn't been used for a long time in order to unify and protect your registered name across the different Wikimedia Foundation wikis. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 14:48, 18 September 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 Roger. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Roger~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 23:42, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
