If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place  on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!


 * Just as a reminder: Please carefully read No legal threats. An Administrator will block your account again if you make any sort of legal threats. If you wish to take legal action, have your lawyer contact the Wikimedia Foundation. If you wish to help edit Wikipedia, make no legal threats on Wikipedia at all. There is a place for one, and a place for the other. Please keep the two separate.
 * Please also carefully read Sock puppetry. If you use multiple accounts to create confusion or the illusion that multiple people support your opinions. Sock puppetry can also get you blocked immediately. Just edit with this one account, Stewart1969, and no others.
 * Finally, one of Wikipedia's five pillars is civility. In particular, please assume good faith and do not accuse other editors of evil motives. Believe it or not, we all share the same goal of making quality articles. Nobody here is out to get you. Failing to assume good faith won't get you instantly and summarily blocked from editing the way that legal threats and sock puppetry will, but if you keep it up for too long, it can result in a block.

By the way, I am not a Wikipedia Administrator. I'm an ordinary user with no special status, just like you. I'm looking forward to working with you in a positive way without the need for any more blocks or creating new user accounts. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:46, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
