Hello, Leonard aldridge: We are very glad to have you aboard here at Wikipedia, we hope you like it here and stay. I'm Mlpearc from the Account Creation team and the one who opened your account request. I noticed the user name you have chosen seems to be your real name, there is by no means anything wrong policy wise, but there is something I would suggest you take a look at Before you edit under this User name, see here Using real names. If after reading this, your OK with using the User name you have, then your on your way. If you have second thoughts then read here about Changing your Username. Hope you have fun and Happy Editing !
