[edit] Welcome, and an invitation

Since no one has yet welcomed you to Wikipedia, I thought I'd take a moment to say welcome, and to invite you to help out with the Quaker WikiProject. The WikiProject is simply a place to help coordinate and direct work on Wikipedia pages related to Quakerism. It's been somewhat quite of late, so a new person or two would be most helpful. --Ahc 18:35, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Ahc, for your welcome. I will participate in the articles on Quakerism, but I fear that my lack of facility with a computer, beyond the basics like e-mail, precludes me from doing a great deal that might require more expertise than I possess. Any advice would be much appreciated. Larry Ingle, 3 October 2006

[edit] Kenneth Boulding

Thanks for the parargraph that you added to the article on this Friend. It is my hope that there will be an article on Elise Boulding soon. === Vernon White (talk) 20:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Richmond Declaration

I wonder if you might be willing to take a few minutes to add some content to the article on the Richmond Declaration. I would really like to get that article past the stub stage and into a form that would make it more useful to people; unfortunately I personally lack the knowledge needed to do that effectively. --Ahc 01:11, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your username

[edit] My concern about your username (Lingle@bellsouth.net)

Hello, Lingle@bellsouth.net, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I have noticed that your user name is an email address, which is listed under WP:U as inappropriate user names.

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

  • If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
  • If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Admins usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
  • If you decide to just go ahead and change your username, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under the new username: simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account.

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism (WP:AIV), or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at WP:RFC/NAME. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you again! -- Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 10:27, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

I would like to thank lingle(at)bellsouth.net for her/his edits and hope that he/she will let us know their new username (withot the deprecated (at) symbol. I would also like to thank him (I think) for his splendid work in print format. === Vernon White (talk) 19:06, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
