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 Gilgamesh. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gilgamesh~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

Hello, while contributing on the French WP on the equivalent of ISO 259 and on fr:Transcription de la Society of Biblical Literature (= SBL transcription), I noticed that the transliteration you introduced a long time ago in Niqqud#Demonstration uses ê for בֵי, and so it is not the "ISO 259" shown in Romanization of Hebrew#Table and it is more like in The SBL Handbook of Style, but not quite since it also uses é for long בֶ and ệ for בֶי. So do you remember what standard that was, is it described somewhere on WP or on line, which could help specify some things in WP articles? Thank you in advance: Oliv0 ( talk) 09:59, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Adhar is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adhar until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. — billinghurst sDrewth 15:08, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

I found your name at Category:User js (probably because you posted the corresponding userbox on your user page), in the level-unspecified list of JavaScript programmers.
I was wondering how experienced you are at JavaScript, and whether you might be interested in getting involved with developing user scripts, hobnobbing with other JavaScript programmers, and organizing and improving JavaScript articles and support pages.
We do all of that and more at the JavaScript WikiProject.
Scripts undergoing development, and the state of JavaScript on Wikipedia, are discussed on the talk page.
For an overview of JavaScript coverage on Wikipedia, see Draft:Outline of JavaScript and Index of JavaScript-related articles. For everything on user scripts, see User:The Transhumanist/Outline of scripts.
The WikiProject also organizes every resource it can find about JavaScript out there, such as articles, books, tutorials, etc. See our growing Reference library. If you know of any good ones, please add them.
If you would like to join the JavaScript WikiProject, feel free to add your name to the participants list.

Hello. Thank you for
your contributions to
Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled " Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
I noticed your recent edit to Ukraine does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting
Preferences →
Editing →
Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.
It would help us so much if you would comply. Otherwise, your edits look like unexplained blanking, which is vandalism.

Dear Gilgamesh,
Since you didn't express disinterest in your reply to my message above, I thought you might like to know what I've been up to on the JavaScript front, in case you want to check it out...
I'm in the process of building scripts for viewing outlines and for outline development. They use a lot of techniques that would be applicable to script writing in general (such as setting up clickable menu items, etc.). To make it easier for others to follow along with how the scripts work, I've provided extensive explanations of the source code on their talk pages. They might be helpful for someone wanting to improve their JavaScript skills, but they are also far from perfect, so if you notice anything that could be improved (such as my approach, programming style, etc.) I'd be very interested in your feedback.
So far, there is:
It is my objective to build a set of scripts that fully automate the process of creating outlines. This end goal is a long way off ( AI-complete?). In the meantime, I hope to increase productivity as much as I can. Fifty percent automation would double an editor's productivity. I think I could reach 80% automation (a five-fold increase in productivity) within a couple years.
There's more:
I look forward to your comments and suggestions. The Transhumanist 23:56, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
