Hallo Ptolusque! Am 1. September 2010, also vor genau 5 Jahren, hast Du hier zum erstenmal editiert und daher gratuliere ich Dir heute zum fünfjährigen Wikiläum. Seitdem hast Du über 3.800 Edits gemacht und 23 neue Artikel erstellt, wofür Dir heute einmal gedankt sei. Besonders hervorzuheben ist dabei Dein Engagement im Bereich Amateurfunk. Ich hoffe, dass Du weiter dabei bist und dabei bleibst und dass die Arbeit hier Dir weiterhin Spaß macht. Beste Grüße + frohes Schaffen -- Wolfgang Rieger (Diskussion) 08:38, 1. Sep. 2015 (CEST)

Dies bedeutet, dass Benachrichtigungen, die man in anderen Wikpedias bzw. Projekten (Commons, Wikisource, Meta etc.) erhalten hat, einem hier lokal angezeigt werden. Ist die Anzeige unerwünscht, kann dies über „Benachrichtigungen von anderen Wikis anzeigen“ abgeschaltet werden.
