User talk:Dúrin

Welcome
Hello  and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm Laurence Andrews, one of the many members of the wikipedia welcoming committe; an informal

group of Wikipedians who greet new users and help them get started.

If you want to learn more about wikipedia, you can visit the following pages: Bootcamp - teaches you the basics quickly,

Tutorial - is more in-depth, and Topical index - is more than you'll ever want to read!

There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing: be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral

point of view, verify your information, and show good etiquette.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on my talk page or ask the experts at Help desk.

Block
Hello,

The reason you were blocked was because the username you chose turned out to be very similar to an existing username of a Wikipedia administrator, User:Durin. Even though this was accidental, we tend to block such similar usernames to avoid confusion (and in some cases we even get deliberate impostors who try to create such usernames). You can just pick any other username and use that instead. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- Curps 05:22, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
