Comment

Hi,

Obviously this is in furtherance of the concerns I and others have brought to RFAR at the English Wikipedia. I've taken another look, and note two things - a highly productive history of a good editor there and admin on the English Wikipedia and a lack of contact. My impression is you're reading this page, but not responding to comments on it.

Can you just make sure that if/when people question edits there, you'll be able to respond well to any discussion and unblock requests by others, and maybe also drop a note here in reply to confirm that's all taken care of, or just let people know what the status quo is, and if all's okay. It matters :-)

The other thing is, email per se isn't the important thing, so much as communication. It's the combination of no discussion of edits and no email/no posts to any user/no communication, that's a concern. In some of those edits, people have raised concerns needing attention. If possible, please ensure the communication concerns of other editors (if any) would be addressed quickly, or at any rate, please acknowledge you received this message. If you're taking a break, and switched email off to not be disturbed, and won't be editing a while, feel free to let others know, it's fine :)

As an admin your responsiveness to other's views matters, because it is a role model for the community and other users. Please, do respond and discuss as part of editing, if such concerns come up.

If you don't discuss edits even when users ask you to, then it is possible you might get blocked at the English Wikipedia, temporarily until communication's resolved, purely to avoid the situation where something is edited and questioned but then there's silence in response to any questions. Editing needs good care and part of that has got to be responsiveness if there's a query on the way.

Adminship is not just about the tools, its about general conduct these days; it's part of admin policy and has been for a long time. I'd hate to see that happen, hopefully mentioning it will draw your attention, or at the least you won't end up in situations where your edits cause concern and you aren't aware of it.

Apologies for this, and if you need to, or need any help at all whatsoever, please do email me Special:EmailUser/MBisanz without hesitation, and we'll sort it out more fully that way.

If all is in fact okay and it's all good, or you're taking a break and just doing a bit well-intentioned housekeeping on the side - hope its a good one, and that this note is not a problem :) But please only engage in editing, if you'll be contactable and responsive for any discussions that might arise.

Best :) MBisanz ^talk 14:27, 20 October 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 Hemanshu. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hemanshu~hiwikibooks 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
