Contested deletion

Welcome!
Hello, Ifeanyidjr, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. 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! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! JohnCD (talk) 10:08, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * I have deleted that user page for you. Welcome to Wikipedia, but it is not a place like Myspace or Facebook for people who primarily want to write about themselves: it is a project to build an encyclopedia, and main user pages are there for the volunteers who are here to do that to say something about themselves and their Wikipedia work, if they choose, to help communication within the project. See WP:User pages for what sort of thing is allowed or discouraged on user pages. If you want to experiment, the section "Subpages" will show you how to make "user sub-pages" like User:Ifeanyidjr/sandbox - just click on that "redlink" and you can edit it. The links in the Welcome message above will tell you more: there is a useful "one-stop guide" at WP:PRIMER. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:08, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Changing username
I happened to see the request on your user page, but normally nobody might see anything you put there. The ways to get help are (a) ask someone on their talk page, (b) ask at the WP:Help desk, or (c) put  (two curly brackets each side) at the bottom of your own talk page, with your question below it.

The way to request a change of username is to click on WP:Changing username, read down to the bottom of that page, click on "Simple" and follow the instructions there. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:46, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
