User talk:Magnus~enwiki

Hi Magnus, welcome to the Wikipedia! Always nice to see somebody working on the music articles (and especially nice to see an article on the crwth). If you ever have any queries about anything, just add a question to the bottom of the Wikipedia:Village pump. By the way, the Welsh Wikipedia is up and running at http://cy.wikipedia.com/ (though there's not much activity there at present). Cheers--Camembert

Thanks Camembert (BTW, one of my favourite cheeses). Actually I've been lurking on Wikipedia for a couple of years now, though I haven't done very much editing until recently and I've forgotten to log in most times I've edited pages. I'll certainly check out the Welsh Wikipedia. Cheers--Magnus

Magnus,

I noticed that you've done some work on the Cornish page this morning. How about taking a stab at clearing up the 'death of Cornish' paragraph:

The Cornish language is alleged to have died out in about 1800, a year after the death of Dolly Pentreath, whose native language it was and who could speak little English. She was not the last monoglot Cornish speaker; that was Chesten Marchant, who died in 1676 at Gwithian...

From the discussion page, you'll see it's been a bone of contention - I pondered rearranging it but decided that, as a definite 'unexpert', it would be better to get someone else to do it ;-)

Hi Wulf!

I might have a go at that paragraph a bit later, but I'll need to do some research first as I'm not really much more of an expert than you are on the subject.

When you get a chance, please read the new note on the Talk:Bible_translations page about using quotes from the Hebrew Bible as well as from the New Testament. RK

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 Magnus. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Magnus~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

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
