Progress

The following template will be updated as you progress through the courses. There are four required courses and 4 "optional courses" (pick at least two of them to do):

Required
Copyright	·	User Permissions	·	Vandalism 101	·	Wikimarkup 101
Optional (do at least two out of the four)
Article Review	·	Clean up patrol	·	Deletion Process	·	Vandalism 201
These courses were taken from Addshore who took them from Tiptoety who took them from Hersfold.

The first four are fully updated.

If you have any questions, you can ask me here, ask me on my talk page or put a {{help me}} template on your own user talk page and someone else will be by shortly. If you ask a question here because you don't want to ask it "publicly" on my talk page, please leave some sort of (not too cryptic) message on my talk page, letting me know that you asked something here, like "adoption question".

By the way, what are you doing with so many alternate accounts? Given Wikipedia:Unified login and the possibility (again) of being accused of sockpuppetry, it sort of seems dangerous to have more than one acount.

Thank you so much. I'll study them carefully and then get to work.

As for the excess alternate accounts, I'd like to rid myself of them, but how? Is it possible to have excess accounts deleted or at least blocked, by my choice? Tamara Zion (talk) 21:55, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Let me run down the list from the sockpuppet investigation page:

• Tamara Zion -- primary account
• A Sharp Dressed Man -- your husband
• PURRfectly Perfect -- changed to soft redirect to your primary user account, included link to (and date of) the changeuser request being completed
• Tamara Zion (renamed) -- changed to soft redirect to your primary user account, included link to (and date of) the changeuser request being completed
• Perfect with a PURR -- Which of these uses (or something else) are you using/saving this account for?
• Some as yet unknown account -- What're you saving this account for?

Questions & Answers:

• Tamara Zion -- primary account

• A Sharp Dressed Man -- your husband

• PURRfectly Perfect -- changed to soft redirect to your primary user account, included link to (and date of) the changeuser request being completed
• Tamara Zion (renamed) -- changed to soft redirect to your primary user account, included link to (and date of) the changeuser request being completed

Refer to the record of the usurption[1] and this.[2] That's from whom and where came the suggestion to soft redirect PURRfectly Perfect and Tamara Zion (renamed) to my primary user space. I'd rather they be deleted completely but requesting they be blocked accomplishes the same purpose.

• Perfect with a PURR -- Which of these uses are you saving it for?

Privacy: A person editing an article which is highly controversial within his/her family, social or professional circle, and whose Wikipedia identity is known within that circle, or traceable to their real-world identity, may wish to use an alternative account to avoid real-world consequences from their editing or other Wikipedia actions in that area.

• Some as yet unknown account -- What're you saving this account for?

I'm discontinuing that account, with a note on the user page to indicate it will not be used again. Ridding myself of it and the others will leave me with this account and ONE alternate account, Perfect with a PURR. I need no more than two accounts. Even including my husband's related account, it's three. That's close enough to perfect!  :)
