[edit]Thanks so much for the good work you are doing here. Please understand that if someone places a [failed verification] tag, it Does Not mean that the information should be removed!!! It is merely a note to say that we need a source that contains this information. That is why we "tag" it....no need to remove the information! With so many people working, we may have some instances where a source gets "lost" when things are moved around, or people make a mistake, and add the wrong source to a sentence.
Also, on WP, we can use print sources (books, etc.) that are not online, as well as foreign language sources (online and print). If you need assistance with formatting references, I will help. If I see a problem, after a source is added, I will correct it. I like working with the refs, and doing repair work, to assist the editors who are doing the really difficult work of adding information. I see that you are a new editor, so I hope you don't mind if I tell you about things that you might not know. Thanks again, for your good contributions!

Hi, thanks for your advice. I don't mind it at all. Been using WP for a long time but never tempted to contribute until now. Still learning my way around here, got lost in the sea of infos, sources, and cites. And you and the others are doing tremendous work. Gemok16 (talk) 00:00, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
- Well, I am very glad that you decided to "dive into the sea" and contribute! We have a nice group of friendly editors working on IB. Yes, "any one can edit WP", but most of us have had to learn many new things. And the citing of sources is most certainly not easy, at first. (I am absolutely impressed with your "newbie" work.) My first few months of edits made me feel rather terrified! But contributing is satisfying work, and worth the time. Welcome, welcome! Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect! 02:49, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
I hope I didn't commit any wrongdoings here just because I have 2 accounts. I didn't vandalised or spammed people. I just felt like I wanted to have 2 accounts for home use and office use, but ya know, I messed up using two both at the same time. Haha. I hope I don't offend anyone here. Cheers.

- Annenaim81@Annenaim81: Yes, this is wrong. It is not usually okay to have two accounts....But, thanks so much for explaining this. At first, I thought that the IP editor was just trying to cause trouble, but as I considered the situation, I became very worried, upset and troubled. It made me feel as though Annenaim81 whom I respect and value, might be trying to fool me. And then, here is Gemok16, a new editor, and a good editor...I didn't know what to think !!! Using two accounts is wrong, because it looks like two people are editing versus the same person secretly editing under two names. This appears deceptive. Please read WP:SOCK, because this is a complicated issue, which I don't have time/energy to explain fully. The best thing for you to do now, is to link your two accounts, see WP:ALTACCN for info. So, you must place a note on the user page of your first (main account, Annenaim81) stating that Gemok16 is a alternate acct., and a similar note on the Gemok16 page, stating that Annenaim81 is your main account. You really must do this, right away, because you are violating a very serious WP policy. This can lead to blocking or banning...
- Now, consider the situation here at IB. What if Annenaim81 is making a "type of edit A" and Gemok16 is also making a "type of edit A", and I, as a third editor disagree, then I will feel outnumbered, by two to one. This puts your fellow editors in an unfair position. We trust that one person is one person, and that is fair. So, please, do as I have said above. And then, choose only one name to edit, not only here at IB, but elsewhere. If you have questions, ask Hoary, who is a good Admin, and will know the answers. I hope you are a good honest person who made a mistake and I am so grateful that you explained. I am sorry to admit that I do feel a bit offended, because I was mislead. I trusted that I was looking at the edits of different two people, versus one person. Please, rectify this situation...you are an asset to the article, and I really want to continue working with you, in mutual trust and friendly collaboration!!! Best wishes of friendship, Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect!
