Dear 'Lastman',

Thanks for paying attention to the 'Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute' and for your offer to help with Chinese language.

I have many friends here from China. The problem is that not everyone has the time to translate (it is not fast and straight forward as in many other Latin based languages). Most of Chinse people here are very busy with 'life' and do not have time to be ambassadors of culture.

To your note, I do not believe the art ever expires (perhaps, I did not use the proper label). This label was suggested by one of the administrators at wiki, I guess also Chinese. Art once created is eternal...as far as the copyright, in this case they were sold with the CD collection I purchased several years ago in China. Perhaps, you should address the issue to the manufacturer of the 100-CD collection I purchased.

My interest in this story is very personal and believe there is few messages in it beyond 'your' culture as you explicitly emphasize.

My intent was NOT to introduce the Chinese culture, that must be your role and to many of your countryman if they feel compelled.

I guess you may be right, a foreigner to the Chinese culture can miss many things to say, but where are the Chinese scholars at first place?

Hope you are one of them, and instead of 'criticising', better sit down and tarnslate something - share it with the world.

I would be looking forward to hear from you and especially will anticipate your cultural contribution with a great interest when you do so...

best, kosi

On 7 August, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Urban village (China), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Urban village

Your English is good; don't be afraid to create more articles (somebody will always correct the minor mistakes). I'm not Japanese: "Yo Mangani" is mangani for "Friend of the Apes" (and I have no idea why I chose that as my username). Yomangani^talk 13:03, 20 August 2007 (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 Lastman. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Lastman~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
