Please only use one account

Hi Sportslegend, it seems you've created two accounts recently. This one, and User:DavBar1. Just in case you were not aware, you are only permitted, except in rare circumstances, one account for editing Misplaced Pages. Other editors may look upon that as sock puppetry which is not a good thing. Please let myself or an admin know which account you plan on editing from. Best, ROBERTMFROMLI | /_CN 18:10, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Adoption

(copied as posted on your earlier account...)

Hi Dave, yes, I'll adopt you. And welcome to Misplaced Pages! I'll add a welcome message in a sec with a bunch of helpful links. In the meantime, here's my "Adoptee Tips, Guidelines & Rules". If you manage to absorb it all and follow it, you should never find yourself running into any problems here. Best, Rob ROBERTMFROMLI | /_CN 22:00, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi again, if you'd like, you can put {{Adopter|RobertMfromLI}} in your userbox section on your user page (and even at the top of your talk page here). In seeing it, many experienced editors, if they see a problem, will generally seek me out to help you through it.

It will create a userbox that looks like this:

This user has adopted RobertMfromLI.
