User talk:Multilingle

Regarding your comment at User_talk:Dennisthe2
It is not possible to delete user accounts, as all contributions must be assigned to some identifier; either a username or an IP address.

All Wikipedia editors have the right to leave Wikipedia for good (ie, permanently). The usual way to leave the Wikipedia project is simply to stop editing. Your contributions remain in Wikipedia. If you wish to resume editing at a later date, you can simply start again by logging into the same account. Old accounts that have any significant edits are almost never deleted or recycled to new users.

If you decide to make a fresh start and do not wish to be connected to a previous account, you can simply discontinue the old account(s) and create a new one that becomes the only account you use. Discontinuing the old account means it will not be used again; it should note on its user page that it is inactive— for example, with the tag —to prevent the switch being seen as an attempt to sock puppet.

Editors seeking privacy per their right to vanish can have their accounts renamed and their user pages and (in some cases) user talk pages deleted. Fei noh a  Talk, My master 01:21, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Regarding deleted accounts, dealing with other admins, contacting me, and where to go from here
Hi!

To be frank, the reasons for deletion submission of the articles I had submitted largely revolve around the fact that the articles simply do not meet our general notability guidelines, and the reason we do things this way is because of what Wikipedia is not. I admit that this sounds like me being an asshole, but there is a deeper reason to it - we strive to be an encyclopedia of sorts, and within your classical encyclopedias, even they have their notability guidelines (which, from what I've been able to tell, are far more stringent than ours).

What it boils down to is that we can't have just anybody creating articles about just anything. As discouraging as this may be, this is not what we are.

As to your previous dealings with the admins, I reviewed your talk page history. (Yes, we keep that - it's like an article history. Talk pages are handled pretty much the same way as articles in the back end.)  What you went through was pretty normal for the things that were done here. Troublesome, no doubt, but consider this - on a regular basis, we get people who will create articles that don't meet our guidelines in the slightest, we regularly get vandals and spammers, and while this isn't as frequent, we do typically get people doing things along the lines of removing speedy deletion tags and recreating articles that have been deleted. I hate to say it, but the patterns fit. In many cases it's people who don't understand our guidelines and the way they work (such as yourself), and to be frank, the warning and block system is really the best way we have to protect the site. It may seem ham-handed, but when you're dealing with something at this level, this approach we have is really the best way - and this has been decided after extensive discussion with other editors.

As to contacting me, please note that I have no power to do anything of significance here on Wikipedia. I am not an administrator. If you have issues with NawlinWiki, I can only suggest you take them up with him and discuss these issues directly with him. I can't guarantee you're going to get a response you'll like, but I can guarantee you will get the correct response, and I can also guarantee that he will have a different angle than I do.

So, where to go from here?

Well, if you still wish, despite this initial kerfuffle, to be an editor here, I'd say go at it! But please, be mindful of those two links I provided, and also be mindful of that welcome message I gave you when you first created 2lingual. And please, do remember that we are not a promotional mechanism. I don't like telling people "dude, your article's gonna get nuked", and to be honest, no admin likes pulling the ban hammer out - but these are things we frequently need to do, unfortunately, to keep things tidy here.

I hope this puts it into perspective for you.
