User talk:Netscott

PIE

I have a working definition of evil for myself: Evil is what causes entropy to unnecessarily (from my point of view) increase. And from the arguments in the essay, polling is evil.Hillgentleman | 書 |2007年04月06日( Fri ), 14:05:44

I understand put the act of polling is not inherently evil... but its misuse (especially in a bad faith manner) is. Netscott 14:08, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

In the process of distilling an essay worth of arguments into a simple yes-or-no, a lot of waste (and thus entropy?!) would almost certainly be created :). Hillgentleman | 書 |2007年04月08日( Sun ), 23:04:54 23:04, 8 April 2007 (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 Netscott. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Netscott~metawiki 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
