Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Georgenancy! Thank you for your contributions. I am VQuakr and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Account usage concern

[edit]

As noted on your user page, this account appears to represent two people. This is a violation of the username policy, which states that accounts should not be shared. Please take a moment and create a second account so the two of you can edit under different usernames, and disclose the relationship between the two accounts to avoid any unintentional appearance of the behavior described at WP:MTPPT. Thanks and again, welcome! VQuakr (talk) 03:35, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We're a Quaker couple. We didn't know it was an issue. Georgenancy (talk) 03:54, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COI, WP:NPOV and "screening" editors from an article

[edit]

I notice that you have mentioned several times ([1][2][3][4][5][6]) that you believe people that identify themselves as Quaker should not edit Quakers. This is at odds with established consensus and is not a practice observed at other articles on analogous topics, and as such is not (in my sole opinion) likely to gain much traction. However, if you feel that the idea needs consideration by a more diverse group of editors for a true consensus to be established, please allow me to suggest an alternative course of action that will be more likely to produce a decisive result, without disrupting other discussions on the article talk page — create a Request for Comment on the talk page. This will draw attention from a diverse pool of experienced editors, most of whom will have no connection to the subject. In any case, please consider focusing on the content of edits and framing your concerns in the context of policies rather than focusing on individuals and making general, unactionable statements. Regards! VQuakr (talk) 03:31, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

People close to a subject are not allowed to edit, per Wikipedia policy. End of story. Georgenancy (talk) 15:17, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I have never read a Wikipedia policy that says that, precisely. I linked the COI and NPOV policies in the section heading, can you provide a quote from them? VQuakr (talk) 00:42, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You see it all the time, when admins step in. I don't care - do what you want. Georgenancy (talk) 04:20, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Chuck Fager

[edit]

Hello Georgenancy. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Chuck Fager, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: you gave no reason for speedy deletion, and I see none. There is enough assertion of importance to pass WP:CSD#A7. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 13:55, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
