User talk:Mark O'Sullivan~enwiktionary
Mark, I can see you're interested in words...great! The entry for Tyning, while lovely, is the sort of thing that will probably get flagged as encyclopaedic without a bit more care. The folks at WikiTree would probably love that sort of detail, though, and your entry could still work here with some attention. SemperBlotto has some interest in names and may be able to offer some suggestions for making it more dictionary-worthy. (You can tell him I sent you.)
What follows is some standard welcome text, since it contains some good help pages. --Dvortygirl 18:27, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the beer parlour or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!
Hello Mark. Yes, it is quite interesting (I am a Bristolian), but it is definitely not dictionary material. If you give it a good edit (and move everything else to Wikipedia) you might get away with it. By the way, there is also a Tyning Wood in Sussex and a Tyning in Armagh. Cheers.

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 Mark O'Sullivan. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mark O'Sullivan~enwiktionary 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
