Hello! I have deleted your page, as requested. It should have been tagged {{db-author, rather than brining it to AfD. Still, job done! Regards, (aeropagitica) (talk) 12:03, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
US-Americans
editcopied from Talk:Howard Dietz....
- Hey Cattleyard, thanks for taking this to the talk page, first off. Second, I would look at this Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies). Third, let me know which articles you change so I can change them back, JUST KIDDING...Serioulsy, take some time and look at a bunch of bios of famous "Americans". They are are all listed this way and should be. I got started on my recent tangent since some editors added "Jewish-American" to about a 1,000 bios recently. I am also working on Polish-Americans, Italian-Americans, you-name-it-Americans. My work shouldn't take more than 4-5 years at this rate. The problem is we end up having bios like "Joe Smoe was a Polish-Jewish-American of Russian decent born in present day Armenia painter specializing in landscapes"
- The United States IS the country and IF you are BORN here you ARE an "American X(fill in occupation/specialization)". This seems to be the consensus, BUT as we know, this CAN change. Anyways, hope this helps and I am open to ANY other thougths on the matter. Cheers!--Tom 16:41, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- No worries, there's not much to change as all my "US-americans" are in the same article (it was a list of persons) ;o). I agree with you that we should avoid to name every origin from someones grand-grandfather unless it is of importance to the article. But the persons nationality should be given. In my eyes, Polish-American is no nationality but US-american is. The American continents have several countries and even North America has two, but there is only one USA. If you ask someone from Argentina or Cuba, they are American, but not US-American. I am European but with German passport. Even when I am living in Sweden, I will be a German user of Wikipedia and not an European user or an German-Swedish user, ... As I said earlier, I don't care that much, I just wanted to know how it should be according to the common rule, to avoid re-edits. So, if you are saying American will do, it's fine for me, as long as the other "Americans" don't complain ;o)). Cattleyard 10:53, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Your account will be renamed
editHello,
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 Cattleyard. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cattleyard~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
