Welcome!
Hello, WanderingScholars, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as George ellias, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.
There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{ helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Kevin ( talk) 08:25, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on George ellias requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact
one of these administrators to request that the administrator
userfy the page or email a copy to you.

You are suspected of
sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the
notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/User:MusicLogger. Thank you. Sockpuppet of
User:MusicLogger

{{ helpme}}
I have moved your additions down - new additions are best made at the bottom of a talk page, and that is where people will look. You did not ask a question, but if it is about the sockpuppet notice above, that means that you are suspected of being the same person as
MusicLogger (
talk ·
contribs), or of acting in concert with them, because you re-created the same article which MusicLogger had already been blocked for repeatedly re-creating. You should read
this advice, and then reply at
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/User:MusicLogger in the section headed "Comments by other users". If you have another question, add another {{helpme}} below here and ask your question below it.

I would like to know how it was proven that "I am a sock of MusicLogger"?

Decline reason:
The details of the investigation can be found at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/MusicLogger/Archive. The summary is that the edits were similar to the other accounts and originating from the same location, so the conclusion was that multiple accounts are being abused. — C.Fred ( talk) 06:15, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

I'd also like to see my questions above answered with some clarity. At present, I cannot see my way clear to considering an unblock. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 14:51, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Per this [1] this edit. Should you use the IP for further block evasion I will block it. For the record, I have no intention of adopting you as I have too many adoptees at the moment, and the adopt-a-user scheme is not designed for blocked users. Follow the Standard Offer and come back to me then, I will consider adopting you at that point. WormTT · ( talk) 14:02, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Oh, well you already did adopt me about a month ago. Thank you for unblocking me. In all honesty, I wasn't the one attempting to evade blockage. Of course, I will follow Standard Offer. I am an egg head, I will enjoy contributing valuable information to Wikipedia. Again, thank you for finally lifting this block.
