Welcome to Wikibooks, Ardy!

User pages
I saw the question you posted on your user page. The answer is that your user page is for telling other Wikibooks editors a bit about yourself, like what you do on Wikibooks, what languages you speak (see Template:Babel), and what your interests are. Liam987 16:41, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks & Intro
Thanks, Liam987. I havn't started doing much yet. Only a few spelling corrections. When I saw the mistakes, I felt like editing them, and found that I had to create an id and log in. So I became a new member of the editing team. I am a chemist by profession, and so I think that I may be useful in editing topics in chemistry or science. As for languages, I know Malayalam (my mothertongue; I am from Kerala in India) and English. I do not know much about the jargons used or editing techniques of Wikibooks. Through practice and help from all of you, I hope I can rise up to your expectations. Ardy (discuss • contribs) 15:16, 30 May 2012 (UTC)


 * You should probably put some of that information on your user page. Also have you looked into improving the Malayalam book we have here? Liam987  19:19, 2 June 2012 (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 Ardy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ardy~enwikibooks 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 22:57, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
