WP:SIGN
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. WLU (talk) 17:04, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Essay
Here is an essay I wrote for new editors that you might be interested in. Note that you will almost certainly get a rough reception from editors to Creationism on the talk page. If you are truly interested in the project, I suggest editing other pages first as this is a rocky one to start off with. If you are interested in Creationism only, I would highly recommmend reading the archives from beginning to end for an idea about typical objections or suggestions, as well as the typical replies.

Not a fora
Hi,

Note that wikipedia is not a forum for debating evolution and creationism. Talk pages are meant to be used to discuss changes to the main page. Changes to the main page are based on reliable sources, used to verify information placed on the main page. For a large and stable page like Creationism, the version that is up is generally agreed to be adequate given the current sources; any suggestions or issues you may have for the page should be backed up by references, and quite specific. Thanks, WLU (talk) 18:28, 11 January 2008 (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 Gryff. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gryff~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 00:20, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
