Bit WP:BITEY there maybe? It was a gramatically broken edit, but I think that was merely finger trouble by a new editor, not intentional vandalism. I've removed your warning to the, because this place is hard and scary enough already and we don't want to drive every new editor away. Andy Dingley (talk) 01:38, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- Well, maybe they should make sure not to post crap that looks like vandalism. Trainers101 (talk) 01:40, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- Maybe they should, but you and I are required to WP:AGF until it's proven beyond doubt that they aren't just making typos, or having trouble with wiki syntax. Andy Dingley (talk) 01:44, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Hey there Apollo, thank you for your contributions! I am a bot alerting you that Non-free files are not allowed in the user or talk-space. I removed some images that I found on User:Apollo. In the future, please refrain from adding fair-use images to your user-space drafts or your talk page. See a log of images removed today here, shutoff the bot here and report errors here. Thank you, -- DASHBot (talk) 04:20, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

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