Sockpuppeting
[edit]The community looks ill on sockpuppeting, so you might want to stick to the one account. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 02:44, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. "That Knave" was an old name I haven't used for years and I thought it was about time to go ahead and make a change. I'll be sticking to this one from now on. Thank you for the advise. It's actually somewhat of a funny story. I had previously used the "That Knave" account, but eventually created the "Gregorius The Brown" Username because I had grown to dislike the previous moniker. However, I don't edit very often and actually forgot that I had done this, so I went on using "That Knave." Well, earlier today, I had the exact same idea as before, but found that "That username is already in use." As you can imagine, the whole thing came flooding back. Anyway, per your advise and that of the article you linked, I've now put the relevant markers on each of the user pages, so I hope that clears everything up. Thanks again.

- Please choose a single account and tag it with {{User Alternate Acct Name}}. I would also suggest making the user and talk page are not using a redirect to the single account you will be editing with in the future. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 22:12, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- Well, I have chosen a single account. This is it. But, could you clear something up for me? Since I'll be editing with this one from now on, wouldn't that make the other account the "alternate," or is this alternate just in virtue of not being the first? And I'm having trouble understanding that last sentence. Are you saying that I should be using a redirect, or I should not be using a redirect? Thanks again for the help.

- I think I'm suffering from a bit of an acronym overload, but it's cool. Having read the relevant information, I don't see that I have failed to comply with any of the suggestions there. Am I missing something? Gregorius the Brown (talk) 21:20, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not an admin so I can't give you any more specifics. Part of understanding policies is reading them thoroughly and figuring it out. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 21:26, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
- Well, thanks for the advise, in any case. Gregorius the Brown (talk) 21:28, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Policies can be very confusing. :-) Put it this way: if you stick to a single account now, you won't have any trouble. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 22:45, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
Welcome to the Novels WikiProject
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/Book_collection.jpg/48px-Book_collection.jpg)
Hi, and welcome to the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books, often referred to as "novels".
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WikiProject Novels announcements}} there.
While you are updating your userpage, don't forget our userbox {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Outreach/User WPNOVELS}}. - Important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- Planning on starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines / template outlines some things to include.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the coordinators or an experienced member of the project; we will be happy to assist in any way we can. Again, welcome, and we look forward to seeing you around! Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 22:45, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Gregorius the Brown! I'm the Wikipedian In Residence at the World Digital Library, a project of the Library of Congress and UNESCO. I'm recruiting Wikipedians who are passionate about history & culture to participate in improving Wikipedia using the WDL's vast free online resources. Participants can earn our awesome WDL barnstar and help to disseminate free knowledge from over 100 libraries in 7 different languages. Multilingual editing encouraged!!! But being multilingual is not a necessity to make this project a success. Please sign up to participate here. Thanks for editing Wikipedia and I look forward to working with you!

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 08:57, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
