Alternate account?

Hi Wowee Zowee. Your user page states that this is an account for use on public computers. Does this mean that you have another, main, account? If so you need to declare so on your user page per WP:SOCK#NOTIFY. If not, you might just want to clarify that. Thanks, Sam Walton (talk) 21:53, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Sam. It is an honour to receive a message from you. I presume you are actually the public relations department and not Sam, himself.

I occasionally shop at Walmart. The meat department is a little small and the meat is sometimes tough. I know you cater to the budget crowd but good meat is nice to have. I buy expensive meat about twice a year. Perhaps carry it seasonally and mention that.

Also consider having disposal for household batteries (like AA, D, C size) and CFC light bulbs. Thank you. Wowee Zowee public (talk) 22:02, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Oh, to answer your question, I mention public in case someone hacks into my account and does bad things, like threaten to kill someone or posts nude pictures. I do not do those type of things. Wowee Zowee public (talk) 22:04, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

S. Udoh

Hello, and yes as a national-level politician he should be safe from deletion, but 1: you don't need to state so in the body of the article (I've removed), and 2: since he is a living person, the article is required to have at least one source, or (per our policies) it can be deleted in 7 days. I haven't tagged it as such, though it likely soon will be, so please add a source to support a fact about him. Thanks, Crow 23:29, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Saviour Friday Udoh

The article Saviour Friday Udoh has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Misplaced Pages policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

January 2015

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you tried to give Visa requirements for East Timorese citizens a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Misplaced Pages has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Misplaced Pages:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

I'm undoing your move. The original name is actually the standard form for such articles. Please do not make arbitrary changes of article names without checking first. Meters (talk) 20:50, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
