Structurist Mergist

Havn't sign in for a while, sorry for a delayed reply. Structurist are primarily anti-mergist, but just like one has sometimes to splice and merge sentences in a paragraph, entire paragraphs of a section, or sections in an article, so must one sometimes swap information between articles or merge them (note the scale diff.). Ideally as one gets to the higher levels such as in whole articles, the mergers and splices should be less, but problem is that often you do get stub articles with huge amounts of redundant content that are also badly organised. In these cases a merger is justified. I agree that most mergers and done very sloppy (and "violent") manner, but that does not mean all merger's are such. Merger's have their inherent benefits, and when used well fulfills the second tenet while not breaking the third Structurist Tenet. As such, I'm simply a structurist who gives some leeway to merges. I also don't believe that structurists should be anti-mergists, but boldly merge articles when really REALLY required (taking the middle road). "Structurist mergist" == "Poser"? No quite, its more a matter of scale and perspective :) Sjschen 16:31, 31 May 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 Slac. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Slac~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
