User talk:Roeber(FI)

Delayed Welcome and some specific on Nicholas II of Russia
Hello Roeber, You can see in the article's history, the different edits: Your first edit, the second, and the third all introduced random "wiki markup" characters at the beginning of the article. It might have been experimenting or it might have been accidents (unfortunately not "an" accident). Anyway, as the automated message above says, please use the sandbox in the future for such edits. The automated message at the end of my post will provide some useful links for you to check, so you can make productive edits, since in your contributions, I noticed you also made several edits on Wilkieten.

Also, I noticed that there's another user, Roeber(F), which happened to have also edited the Wilkieten article. If that's also you, you should probably pick one of the two accounts.--Atavi (talk) 14:32, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * If by making a false positive you mean removing the obtrusive messages from your talk page, I guess you can. The message from the bot says so; personally I thought that messages in talk pages were not to be deleted, but only archived, but I guess policies can be lax sometimes. (I removed the two messages myself for you, since I was editing your talk page anyway)
 * I would have liked to give you some guidance, but I don't think I can do a better job than the links under "Getting started" in the welcome message.
 * I have only two specific points I'd like to mention
 * When you add a message in a talk page, the convention is to add it at the end of the page --not the beginning as you did on mine, and sign using the ~ wiki markup.
 * When you write something in an article, it should be in your own words, unless the text is in the public domain or the original author has given express permission to copy it. On top of that you also need to identify your sources, but I saw that you already did that on Wilkieten.
 * If you have any question, feel free to ask on my talk page or in one of the places mentioned in Questions.
 * Yes, I speak a little German...

Your user page
Hi Roeber, I suppose your user page is empty, contrary to what you expected, because you created a user page as User:Roeber(F) and have not created a user page as User:Roeber(FI). If you have settled on which of the two accounts you want to keep using for editing and it is Roeber(FI), then what you can do is copy the source code from the User:Roeber(F) page and paste it into User:Roeber(FI). I can do it for you, if you're not sure how to do it.--Atavi (talk) 16:28, 21 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Reading the last few sections of User page, it seems that you just leave the account be.
 * You just log in with your preferred account from now on. You could use both, but I see no reason to.--Atavi (talk) 16:57, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
