You might want to take a peak at that before reverting changes made to the section involving women and Freemasonry.

Discussion of deletion of the Brian Wowk article
Hi Allan,
 * Thanks for your vote on this important issue! If you look at Articles_for_deletion/Brian_Wowk, you will see that the administrator Shanel has ruled that "The result of the debate was keep ".


 * There was substantial argument for deletion by mikka (t), but Tawker, the person who originally marked the page for deletion, changed his vote from delete to keep for the re-written version. As you can see from the Articles_for_deletion/Brian_Wowk the vote was overwhelmingly to keep the piece. Shanel posted a note about the ruling at the bottom of the Some references indicating the significance of Brian Wowk section of Talk:Brian Wowk. Although he meant well, the lifting of original article from another website by User:Cardsplayer4life was a bad way to start. --Ben Best 09:14, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Your userpage
You claim to be a freemason, yet you also claim interest in atheism. One of the primary requirements for freemasonry is belief in deity. Have you the need for more light? Rarelibra 05:11, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called AllanR. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name AllanR~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 21:52, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
