Requested move
User:Bindersbee → NewName — We have created this article as a subpage and it is now ready to go live. We cannot find the "move" button referred to, so are asking for your assistance. The new name should simply be "Conservation Garden Park."--Bindersbee (talk) 17:40, 29 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, is it User:Bindersbee/Conservation Garden Park that you want moving to Conservation Garden Park? Your request at WP:RM seems to be saying that you wish to move your user page. Mjroots (talk) 17:58, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I would like that moved from my userpage to the mainspace. While I have found most of Wikipedia to be pretty well mapped out for my non-techincal self, I just could NOT figure this part out. It seems that right now it's a draft only I can see and I'd like for it to be publically viewable in the mainspace. Thank you!


 * This is wrong. This move request should be at User talk:Binderbee/Conservation Garden Park, not here. 184.144.170.217 (talk) 19:18, 29 December 2010 (UTC)


 * No matter, I've moved the page, deleting the userspace page at the same time. Although the article is referenced, bare urls are not best practice. cite web should be used. At a minimum, it can be condensed down to . Mjroots (talk) 21:06, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Talk page of the userspace article also deleted. It's served its purpose. Mjroots (talk) 21:09, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Shared accounts
I notice you say "we" rather than "I" above. Accounts on Wikipedia are for individual people, not for sharing. As you know, creating an account is free. Your account should be for you and you alone, other members of your family should create their own accounts and use them instead. If this is the case, please change your password to prevent others using your account to edit. You wouldn't want to have sanctions imposed on your account because someone else misused it, would you? Of course, you may have been using the "Royal we", in which case the above won't apply. Any questions please ask on my talk page. Mjroots (talk) 21:22, 29 December 2010 (UTC)


 * The 'we' was me freaking out and asking my much more techincal spouse to help me figure out how to get my article posted. The article and account are mine alone.  Thanks for all your help! I'll try and do it more efficiently next time.


 * That's fine. Just didn't want to see you blocked because it was suspected that your account was being shared (which has happened to others). You need to be autoconfirmed to move pages (i.e. 10 edits and an account four days old), so this is possibly a reason you were unable to figure out how to move the article. Take time to read the linked pages in the welcome notice as they give you an idea of what Wikipedia is and what it isn't. Mjroots (talk) 22:03, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
