Your edits at Mooresville, North Carolina
Mplspc, as I said above, welcome to Wikipedia. It appears you're either a fellow resident of Mooresville, or are somehow connected to the Town. I wanted to mention first that I appreciate the work you've done adding information to Mooresville, North Carolina, and second encourage you to continue working on that article. Mooresville has an interesting history (especially the oft-forgotten colonial and antebellum side of things), and this article needs good, well-cited prose. That brings me to one detail that is very important on Wikipedia -- citation! Much of the existing information in the article, as well as the information you've added, isn't supported by citations to reliable third-party sources. To get familiar with Wikipedia's rules on citation and reliable sources, read the helpful guides over at WP:RS and WP:CITE. Without accurate inline citations to reliable sources, anyone can come along and legitimately delete all of your work. So keep that in mind, and keep up the good work!

Usernames and blocks
Hi. You'll no doubt notice that this account is blocked; please realize that this is solely on account of your username, and my interpretation that it meant the account is being used by the employees of the Mooresville Public Library in general, as opposed to one person in specific. User:Cdtew tells me that you are only one person; if you can state for yourself that only one person has access to this account, I will unblock you. That said, it might be better to have the account renamed, so that if you and the Mooresville Public Library should ever part ways for any reason, you can continue to use the account.

I apologize for the inconvenience. DS (talk) 20:33, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi,

I am one person and I am the only one who uses the account as it is not for the library as a whole. I chose the account name so that whoever comes after me can use the account and it not be tied to one name but a generic name. I doubt this will be anytime soon and I thank you for the advice. I hope this answers your question.

I am answering this from my IPad and have not found the lines for the signature of which I apologize.


 * "I chose the account name so that whoever comes after me can use the account " - no, see, that's what's not allowed. Imagine that there is someone who has been editing in a non-productive fashion, and has received several warnings -- and then posts "I have passed this account on to someone else, I will not use it ever again". Can we believe them? Maybe they're just saying it to avoid their punishment. I'm not saying you would ever do this, but this is one of the reasons why we don't allow an account to be passed to another person. DS (talk) 02:53, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
