Hi Nemo, you can make the image smaller using the "thumb|200px|right" text in with the image. I never expected that sand to last so long in the sandbox before some experiment happened to it! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:52, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Your old userpage

I was trying to see if your edit to Canberra in November 2001 survived the software changes, the database hickups, and other calamities of Wikipedia that had occurred in the intervening six years, to check if there was any history to merge at Wikipedia's Canberra article. Unfortunately it didn't, but I found some old edits to your userpage at Nemo/TheWikipedian which I have merged into your modern userpage at User:Nemo. I had to delete the cross-namespace redirect per current Wikipedia policy. Hope you don't mind. Graham87 13:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Conflicto con los nombres.

Hola Nemo.

Veo que nos hemos puesto el mismo nombre. Para mí eso no representa ningún problema porque no contemplo el abrir una cuenta global. Si tú deseas hacerlo y te represeta algún problema te recomiendo que cambies de nombre, o amplialo con algunas letras o números. A mí me da pereza el buscar otro nombre. En todo caso, si deseas conservarlo, a mí, esa opción tuya, también me parecerá bien. Saludos--88.27.2.12 (talk) 13:43, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Meetup

I did not plan the last one, but I sent out invites. I think it is a good idea to have a meeting, we intended to have one in Jan 2008, but it never happened. Normally we discuss it on the Canberra project page. Would you like to have a meetup, possibly at the same place - old Parliament House? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:24, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

You're invited to the Canberra WikiMeetup on 20 November 2011

Hi! We're having a Canberra Wikimeetup on 20 November 2011 at Siren Bar in Gunghalin from 2pm to 4pm. It's most just a chance to chat with other local Wikipedians, get a chance to go a different sort of bar (which is reasonably kid friendly, serves real food, and has non-alcholic options), and, if you're interested, learning more about what Wikimedia Australia and local GLAM projects are happening. We'd love to see you and any Wikipedia/Wikimedia/wiki loving friends you have there. --LauraHale (talk) 07:18, 31 October 2011 (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 Nemo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Nemo~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

We can argue about Edit War or serve it/ignore it

We can argue about the genre edit war, or serve it. Hey! This ain't a game! We can talk about ok? I was born American!

Oh, I thought you just wanted to play at edit/revert wars. But now you want to talk? Oh goody. I have a question then: Why is this on my user page, and not on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mad_Max ?

Because, we are about to ask you right AWAY! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.82.14.181 (talk) 06:47, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

I don't suppose that was meant to make sense was it? How do you "serve" a war anyway?

Hell, no. I ain't serving the war, I was helping people, This is fucked up.

As I noted, MM was not intended to be Post-apocalyptic, nor is it considered to be (at least, within MM fandom). Helping people is best done through accurate information, and the most accurate description does not include "post-apocalyptic". --.../NemoThorx (talk • Contributions) 07:17, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not your personal plaything. Facts and the consensus opinion of large communities are what is important.

ArbCom elections are now open!

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hello, from the Portals WikiProject...

You are invited to join the effort to revitalize and improve the Portal system...

The Portals WikiProject was rebooted 9 days ago, and is going strong. Fifty-two editors have joined so far, with more joining daily.

We're having a blast, and excitement is high...

Our goal is to update, upgrade, and maintain portals.

In addition to working directly on portals, we are developing tools to make building and maintaining portals easier. We've finished one so far, with more to come.

Discussions are underway about how to upgrade portals, and what the portals of the future will be.

There are plenty of tasks (including WikiGnome tasks too) on the WikiProject page.

With more to come.

We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.

See ya at the WikiProject!

Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   03:17, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much

The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.

By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.

Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.

If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   23:18, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

P.S.: if you reply to this message, please {{ping}} me. Thank you. -TT

User:Nemo

Hi, I see that in 2015 you renamed from the old "Nemo" username, which I had been using on some wikis since 2006 (years after you) and I had not sought to "usurp" it in 2008 when SUL came. Given it's now unused, would you mind if I got hold of it? Do you think it would cause more confusion?
