From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for experimenting, and for reverting your edits. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. In the future, please do not experiment on article pages; instead, use the sandbox. Thank you. Natalie 02:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)


My mistake. The diff made it look as though you have done the vandalism, and then reverted it, hence my message above. But I see that you did a revert in two separate edits. Sorry for the incorrect warning! Natalie 03:20, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey, there's nothing wrong with doing a revert in two edits. I was just working a little too fast and wasn't careful enough in checking what was actually happening. And as for our friends who just waste time, I hear ya. I guess it's what kids do for fun these days. Natalie 03:25, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 03:36, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

Unforunately, if you don't remember your username I don't think there's any way to retrieve it. Any edits you made will still be in the history, though, so if you can remember an article you edited and feel like looking through the history to find the edit you made, that's an option. But if you didn't have a ton of edits under your account, it might be easier to just create a new account.

If you can remember the account name and had an email account verified that you still have access to, you can have your password reset if you forget it. Unfortunately, if you didn't add an email, or you no longer have that email, there's no way to retrieve passwords or verify that you are the rightful holder of the account.

I can't definitively answer any questions about the essay or article without reading it, but some of the things listed at Wikipedia: What Wikipedia is not may apply. Natalie 03:38, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
