Welcome to Wikipedia, Sifind! I am SMP0328. and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

your edits
[edit]Do you have any other accounts here? Gwen Gale (talk) 16:47, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yes. This one has been created for the reasons stated in (and is used within the limits of) WP:SOCK#LEGIT and WP:Username_policy#Using_multiple_accounts. In particular, "long-term contributors using their real name"--or a user ID known to be associated with their real name--"may wish to use a pseudonymous account for contributions they do not want their real name to be associated with." There is no overlap between articles edited using this account vs. those edited using my other account. Sifind (talk) 16:58, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
- I have two questions. Are you still making edits with the other account? Is that the only other account you have edited under on en.Wikipedia? Gwen Gale (talk) 17:06, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
- "And the last shall be first." It's the only other account I have edited under on Wikipedia, excepting very rare contributions made (accidentally) from an IP account because of forgetting to sign in first. The answer to your other question depends on the level of generality you have in mind. I haven't made edits with the other account today or, as it happens, even this week. In a more general sense, however, I haven't abandoned it, and anticipate using it when (and to the extent) appropriate. Needless to say, I have no intention of sock puppetry, and do not intend to use the two accounts interchangably (i.e., articles edited with one account will not ordinarily be edited with the other).

- Could you please send me an email (from my user space) and tell me the name of the other account? Gwen Gale (talk) 17:30, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yes; sorry to be dense, but I can't see the email link on your user space? Sifind (talk) 17:38, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
- Go to User:Gwen Gale and look on the menu at the left, third box down ("toolbox"), "E-mail this user." It's very easy to miss if one hasn't used the email link before. Gwen Gale (talk) 17:47, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, I don't see that. The only things in "Toolbox" on User:Gwen Gale are "What links here · Related changes · User contributions · Logs · Upload file · Special pages · Printable version · Permanent link · PDF version." If I search the page for "E-mail this user" I get nothing. Is your option for accept email enabled? Sifind (talk) 18:05, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
- I've enabled email receipt on my own account, so perhaps we cold try this the other way around?Sifind (talk) 18:09, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
- Please look again, it's there. If you like, search for "mail" at User:Gwen Gale. Gwen Gale (talk) 18:19, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
