Your two accounts

I was alerted of this through email, as I'm not in the habit of following your contributions when we aren't in dispute with each other. I don't have much to state about your changing accounts, other than that you be aware that if the old account came to community attention, or the topic is the subject of edit-wars and contentious editing, and especially if your old account was involved or your new account will be, then it may be seen as evading scrutiny not to disclose the old account, per Wikipedia:Clean start. The rest is also clear on this matter:

...where the old account is clearly discontinued and the new account is not merely continuing the same kinds of behaviors and activities.

If you have edited topics in the past, in a way that you would be seen as "involved", and you return to the same or similar issues under your new account, then editors may feel that awareness of the old account is needed in order to better understand how to see the actions of the new account.
...a user who then re-enters disputes and topics where their conduct was likely to be noticed (blocks, disputes, disruptive editing, contentious and edit warred topics, and the like) may be seen as evading scrutiny. The community would usually expect to know that the individual has a past involvement unless this was clearly not controversial, and especially if there is still non-trivial involvement or involvement in disputes or editing controversies. Clean start is not a means to resume similar conduct while concealing a past track record.

This means that if you are going to continue the same type of editing/disputes at the Frot article, you should not have changed accounts. If your having this new account means no more of the same edits and disputes with me at the Frot article, then good. If it means having "clean contributions" while resuming the same type of actions at the Frot article, after I stated that you are a single purpose account (largely involved in only one article -- Frot), then not good.

I will go ahead and tag your old account as retired, since that is what should be done in the case of fresh starts...if you are not willing to disclose on that user page that it is a past account of Mjpam. Whether you want it disclosed on your old or new account that you are both the same person is up to you, of course. Flyer22 (talk) 18:15, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reference tags

When you are adding footnote references to articles such as perfect number, please make sure you are familiar with the guidelines regarding reference tags and punctuation at WP:REFPUNC. In particular, a reference tag at the end of a sentence must be placed after the period or full stop, not before. Gandalf61 (talk) 08:38, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
