User talk:Edgy4
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Edgy4, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please complete the student training, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Multiple accounts
[edit]You can create a separate account for your teaching, so long as you conform with the policy on multiple accounts. Most importantly, that you never use the second account in a way that implies that it is distinct from your main account (e.g., you never vote twice, or use the second account to support your first account in a dispute, as if it were a different person.)
Should you do so? That's another question entirely. Many people do use a dedicated account for teaching, especially people with a long history of editing Wikipedia. Other people use a single account. This account I only use for my Wiki Ed work - I have a volunteer account, which I've used since 2004. I try to make it obvious that both my work account and my volunteer account are the same person (there's a note on my user page to that effect), but I also do my best to avoid editing the same page with both accounts. In the few places where I've had to use both accounts, I make sure to declare that both are me.
At this stage, I would recommend continuing to use this account for teaching, since this is the account tied to your account on the Wiki Ed dashboard, and to create a separate account for editing as a volunteer, should you choose to do so. Let me found out how difficult it would be to transfer ownership of your Dashboard account to a different Wikipedia account. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 02:45, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, the technical issues shouldn't be a problem either. (Contact me by email for more details.) Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:10, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
