Account Creation Tool
Hello! I would like to apply for use of the Account Creation Tool, but when I attempt to do so, I am notified that "Ali already has an account here." I don't remember ever creating an account though... can you help me out? Thanks!  Ali  (t) (c) 08:12, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

 * That's not me - I would appreciate it if you would!  Ali  (t) (c) 18:09, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

HourCast
Stwalkerster, I would like to know why you deleted our group's topic/page? The band has been in existence since 2004, with an EP released the same year, a full length album in 2006 (where we toured the United States with Godsmack, Breaking Benjamin, 30 Seconds to Mars, Puddle of Mudd, etc). The record was on every major radio station in all 52 states! Our video was on MTV, FUSE. One only needs to Google to see the links, activity, reviews etc of our group.... You reasons for deletion did not seem valid...what gives? Thanks for your attention on this... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.220.116 (talk) 16:00, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Better explanation.
When I try to use the forgot the password this is the problem that I get

even though I use the information on my email. this is very confusing. Regards, Dr. Szląchski (talk) 17:03, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * In other words although I have been given Account Creation rights I can't use them because the system does not accept my password and when I try to get a new one it says that the username is invalid. Dr. Szląchski (talk) 17:10, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. A fix for the problem has been written, and I'm going to enable this fix in the near future (hopefully before I go to bed tonight).  Stwalkerster  [  talk  ]  20:18, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi again. In about 48 hours time, I'll apply the fix.  Stwalkerster  [  talk  ]  04:39, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I did that because I wanted to see how the reset buttton works,and because the instuctions do not forbid it (directly at least) However now that I know that pushing that button causes problems I will not push it anymore,regardsDr.Szlachedzki (talk) 00:03, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Happy Halloween!


As Halloween is my favorite holiday, I just wanted to wish those Wikipedians who have been nice enough to give me a barnstar or smile at me, supportive enough to agree with me, etc., a Happy Halloween! Sincerely, --A NobodyMy talk 18:29, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
