User talk:Copey~enwikisource

I created this account with the intent of starting a Māori Wikisource. Unfortunately, this isn't on the list of available languages, and there is no indication on how to create a wikisource in a new language.

I may see what happens if I create a Māori wikisource document in English. What I hope will happen is that some administrator will spot it and say, "Oi! You can't do that here! What you have to do is..."

The document I want to create is Te Karere O Nui Tireni [sic], an early Māori newspaper.

Hello,, welcome to Wikisource! Thanks for your interest in the project; we hope you'll enjoy the community and your work here. If you need help, see our help pages (especially Adding texts and Wikisource's style guide). You can discuss or ask questions from the community in general at the Scriptorium. The Community Portal lists tasks you can help with if you wish. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page. —Zhaladshar (Talk) 16:13, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Te Karere O Nui Tireni
Hi, Copey,

I noticed you've added this page here because no Wikisource exists in the Maori language. However, there is a better place to add this text. Note that the multi-lingual Wikisource is still a fully operational wiki. This was done exactly for this reason: to take in texts where no subdomain exists. I highly encourage you to move this page to the Multi-WS. Also, once it's been moved, you might want to categorize it with "Category:Māori" (this is to help the WS editors know which language it is) and to add sdelete to the page on this Wikisource.

Thanks for your interest in the project!—Zhaladshar (Talk) 16:13, 1 November 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 Copey. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Copey~enwikisource 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 23:24, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
