User talk:Wxman87

This is my talk page :)

Just asking: Your account
Which account(s) did you edit Wikipedia under before or during the existence of your Wxman87 account? And I don't mean your previous username that you recently had changed. I ask because despite your account currently having relatively few edits (which is the result of it having been dormant until March 2014 after its creation in October 2007, then being dormant again until January 1, 2015), you are clearly more familiar with Wikipedia than the average WP:Newbie. The vast majority of WP:Newbies are not aware of the WikiProjects you recently associated yourself with, or the userboxes you added to your user page.

If you reply to my query, there is no need to reply on my talk page since I now have your user page/talk page on my WP:Watchlist. Flyer22 (talk) 05:34, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

→Hello Flyer22! Thanks for stopping by my page. I am primarily a longtime lurker of Wikipedia and I read articles on this site all the time. I had created this account years ago but then ended up not editing very much. I decided recently that I wanted to contribute to subjects that I'm interested in. I'm gradually learning how to format graphics such as those userboxes into my user page and elsewhere. I look forward to working with the Wiki community to help educate the world.Wxman87 (talk) 05:12, 3 January 2015 (UTC)


 * If you don't already know, I mentioned you here (the "this guy" link). I've heard the type of rationale you've given above from WP:Sockpuppets and similarly returning editors, so I can't state that I exactly trust it. But Wikipedia does state that we should normally WP:Assume good faith. Flyer22 (talk) 05:25, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
