Hi Ryan, you should know who I am. How did you get here, and how do you do two things at once? Anyway, I'll be even more "minor" here. Minor Contributer (talk) 10:59, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

editWelcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Master Chief (Halo). When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

- That's fine, but you have to say so in your edit summary. Unexplained deletion of content is usually mistaken as vandalism. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 16:55, 30 August 2008 (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 Minor Contributer. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Minor Contributer~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
