User talk:RobinInTexas

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, RobinInTexas! I am RP459 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! -- RP459  Talk/Contributions 18:33, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't mean to snap. It just seems to be a practice that both new and veteran editors engage in, and I couldn't understand it. Nightscream (talk) 20:05, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

How long have I been here?
I'm just curious, it says I Registered: 00:23, 18 June 2010 (2 years ago)

Yet Special:Contributions/RobinInTexas&dir=prev&target=RobinInTexas shows an edit attributed to me on 21 Nov 2008

I clearly remember the edit, but not the date which is not in dispute.

 * The record shows that your account here was created on 16 August 2008 and your first edit was on 21 August 2008. I can't account for the Global User Manager date, but I see it says "attached on"; perhaps that is the date on which a unified SUL account was established for you?

 * I hope that answer was helpful. If not, message me, too. Bearian (talk) 14:42, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm sure I'll take my idle curiosity with me to the other side.RobinInTexas (talk) 22:27, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * You can satisfy your curiosity about other users as well: go to their contributions page (starting at their talk page look for "User contributions" under "Toolbox" in the left margin). On the contributions page there is a link "Oldest" which will show the first ever contribution (except for contributions to pages which have been deleted); and at the bottom of the page there are various links including "User rights" which will show when the account was created and whether it has privileges like "administrator."
