Sock Puppets

{{helpme}} I just read about "Sock Puppets" in the help section. This is actually my second account--I created it awhile ago when I was very new to Wikipedia because I couldn't access my first account. It was a password problem--I couldn't remember the password and couldn't reset it because I didn't have an email address linked to the account. I couldn't figure out any way to fix the issue, so I thought my only choice was to start over. However, I later found a computer that had the password saved on it and so now I'm able at access that initial account again. Thus, I'm wondering if there's a way I could merge my two accounts (under my first one--I was helping w/ a project on that account that I'd like to continue contributing to whereas this account seems to be more about pop culture). I don't be accused of sock puppeteering! I couldn't find an answer on any of the help pages, so I thought I'd ask here. Thanks so much for your time. Efrafra 09:07, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

While sock puppets are generally not allowed WP:SOCK states several reasons why you might want two, however, the BEST thing to do, is to login to your first account, and redirect your User page to User:Efrafra, and the Talk page (if empty) to User talk:Efrafra, if the talk page has content, add a message to the top stating it is an archived page for an account not in use, and your current talk page can be found here. I believe this is the best solution you can get. Hope this helps, and if you have any other queries I've added your talk page to my watchlist --NigelJ ^talk 10:35, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Ortiz article

Awarded for the Simon J. Ortiz article. Vizjim 17:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you - I've been praying for someone knowledgeable to write that for ages. Vizjim 17:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for writing the article on Ortiz. I had it on my list, but have been far too busy to get it done. JStripes 17:47, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, have you visited http://www.nativewiki.org/Main_Page yet? All best, Vizjim 09:49, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Robert Mirabal

Hi, this is User:Bearian in my alter ego (legal sockpuppet). I've added a review, cites and a tag to this article. I agree, this guy is obviously notable and must not be deleted. However, an entire large section has few cites. Can you find some? I'll take a look later. Bearian'sBooties 16:58, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Bruce Lee revisions

I just read your recent revisions to the article on Bruce Lee, and found most of them quite respectable. However, you took it upon yourself to alter some direct quotations as well. Do you have a copy of the book cited as their source to verify that what was there was inaccurate? If you do, then there's no problem at all, of course. Ted Watson 21:53, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Misleading edit summary

Your edit summary here claims "grammar" changes and was wrongly marked as a minor edit even though your edit substantially changed the meaning of the lead sentence. This is not acceptable practice here, and I'm surprised this was done by an editor with your experience. Please take more care to accurately summarize your edits in the future. Thank you, Aunt Entropy (talk) 16:31, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

I wish you would give me the benefit of the doubt. I mistakenly clicked on the "save page" button rather than the "show preview" before completing the changes I wanted to make, but it was reverted back so immediately that, as I explained, my further change to that sentence + the few grammar tweaks did not go through when I tried to save the whole edit about 10 minutes or so later. I left it as is without starting over because I just did not have the energy. I was not attempting to be misleading. I didn't try again as 1) it was clear that the page was being watched so closely that it would be pointless to suggest anything involving content change (even though part of my full edit included what I thought would be a more up-to-date wiki for 'evolution' [a pretty ambiguous word]--I believe "modern evolutionary synthesis" is more correct); 2) I realized that I honestly don't care enough about this argument to enter the fray (which I see is pretty thick on your talk page). My issue is that there seems to be no room here for a further degree of neutrality--which is a shame. Actually, I would venture to say that the thinly veiled 'argument' that the article is making against this group's credibility would actually be more credible and powerful were it to refrain from the biased tone. I see that this isn't going to change, though. I've already probably wasted far too much time on this--look at me, defending myself on my own talk page. Sheesh.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Efrafra! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person.

In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 939 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag.
