Revert
[edit]Wrong. Reverting is also content disputes: see Wikipedia:Revert: "sometimes a revert is the best response to a less-than-great edit". Your edit is to a non-encyclopedic page which, at best, belongs in the ISDN article. I would wager that a very minimum of 99 out of 100 people who search WP for LAPD are looking for Los Angeles Police Department. I am listing the article you created (Link Access Procedures, D channel on WP:VFD and reverting your unnecesary disambiguation (see Wikipedia:Disambiguation, which will explain how to create disambigs for phrases which almost always mean one thing rather than the other.
- I disagree: a revert is always rude. Besides, I have taken efforts and added correct and valuable information (which I first searched for and did not find) to the Wikipedia. What gives you the right to delete my efforts? If you believe the article should go somewhere else, express your oppinion in the discussion or on the user's talk page. Heck, explain how to move an article to Wiktionary. But even if (or even more because!) 99 out of 100 people don't know Link Access Procedures, D channel, isn't there a point in writing an article about it?Chronist 21:14, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
Oh, and by the way:
Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
- If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!

- Thanks for the welcome. It would be even more effective if you used this instead of brainless reverts in the first place. After all if you are an admin you should know better. Chronist 21:14, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- The reverts were not brainless. I disagreed with you over an issue of a long standing redirect suddenly being changed into a thoroughly non-notable disambiguation. I think just about every Wikipedian would agree with me. Smoddy (Rabbit and pork) 21:26, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- With brainless I mean that it's much easier to destroy (revert) than to create. What do you mean by "non-notable"? People come to Wikipedia because they want to learn more about a topic. A disambiguation too much hardly hurts anyone, a missing one does. Convince me otherwise. Chronist 21:40, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, perhaps it would have been. I hope the situation as is, which took quite a lot of work and time on a dialup, will suit you. Is that enough work for you? (If you can't work it out, there's a disambig at LAPD (disambiguation). Smoddy (Rabbit and pork) 13:20, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks, (though it's not work for me as rather work for the wikipedia community). Anyway, this seems to be something everybody can live with. Good job, CU!Chronist 08:33, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
[edit]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 Chronist. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Chronist~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

Renamed
[edit]This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)
