Welcome!

Hello, RailGuru, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Rail Plus, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Thank you.

Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Rail Plus

{{unblock-spamun|RailGuru|At the time of creating this account I could not find the rules of creating a username, or the rules about what can and cannot be posted. I feel this new name better reflects my intent, as I have vast knowledge of trains and the train networks and wish to be informative, however I didn't realise that my additions were considered promotional. Apologies for the rule breaking. Now I know where the rules are located and I will read them and comply with editing policy. (Rail Plus Australia (talk) 22:43, 28 December 2009 (UTC))}}[reply]

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

You've been unblocked so you can change your username. You must not make any edits to articles under the present account, until its name is changed. Be aware that the indef block is likely to be restored if the admins perceive that you are making any promotional edits under the new account. EdJohnston (talk) 18:10, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.

How does this work?

{{helpme}} I am really confused about my name change. It looks like it has gone through, but my signature still seems to be my old Username. Am I still blocked because Wiki thinks I am still using my old Username. I was away on leave and now I have returned I cannot find my name change response in the area I posted the name change request. Could you please help me, I am a little lost! --Rail Plus Australia (talk) 22:11, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

At the top right of your screen, you should see a button called My Preferences. Click on that, and see what Signature you have selected. EdJohnston (talk) 22:21, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How does this work?

{{helpme}} Does this mean that my Username is now RailGuru? My old Username appears everywhere else still and I would like it all to reflect my new username. Do I need to sign in using my new username? To the left of my "talk" link at the very top of my page it still has my old username, as well as having the Speedy deletion of my old username on my talk page. Thank you for your assistance RailGuru 22:35, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
