Re: Seek bedding (was Dear Wikipedia National Socialist)
You removed my article on the bases it was defining a term.So, if you can't define terms, shouldn't the article on terrorism be removed, what about cocking, jogging...etc.. My article wasn't a test, I put hard work and effort into, it and then fact that you removed it is simply offensive and ignorant. After publication my article was indeed vandalized, but instead of doing something about this you decided to remove the whole article. Explain why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matiandos ( talk • contribs) .
- Firstly, be civil. Your comments above are derogatory and don't help you to put a case in any way. Secondly, sign your comments with four tildes - ~ - in order for the recepient to respond without having to hunt around for your identity. "The term is currently not used in mainstream colloquial International English, and no regional variants of it exist. The use is mainly limited to forms of communications over the Internet, mainly IRC or Internet relay chat." In this case, the definition of the phrase specifically excludes notable status as, if it is used at all, it appears rarely within one specific mode of communication. If a phrase is notable then it will be referenced in places such as Wiktionary or dictionaries of Internet/urban slang and perhaps also in print. In this case, notablility would be conferred through repeated mentions in a veriety of media, demonstrating adoption in to popular culture. The articles that you propose for deletion are not dictionary definitions, they are discussions of sociological and popular phenomena. Remember, articles are submitted to Wikipedia in the knowledge that they can be edited and/or deleted without prejudice by others. Articles are not owned by any one person, even the author. The GFDL licence governs this. The only way to ensure that no one edits your material is to publish on to your own webspace. If your article is a work-in-progress, please create a Sandbox page in order to develop it to a point at which you believe that it cannot be further improved before publication.

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