After reviewing your request for the "account creator" permission, I have enabled the flag on your account. Keep in mind these things:
- The account creator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
- The account creator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the account creator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
- This has been added for a special event, and may be removed after the event is over.
- This should only be used for bypassing the account throttle, not the blacklist or spooflist.
If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the account creator right. Happy editing! — xaosflux Talk 16:01, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi! I'm helping to organize two editathons at UNC Sloane Library and was hoping you would want to join us or spread the word. The first is March 25 and our scope will be the immigration system in the US. The second will be on April 1 and the scope will be visual artists of the African Diaspora who have been based in Chapel Hill. Hope you can make it!

Your contributed article, Lew Powell (writer)
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.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Lew Powell (writer). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Lew Powell. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Lew Powell. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. reddogsix ( talk) 05:53, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- Ack! Sorry, reddogsix. I created both of these articles last night. I'm not sure how they split into two different articles during the process of creation, but I agree that Lew Powell (writer) should be speedily deleted. I've been an editor for a long time but sometimes still run into unexpected things like this on occasion. Thanks for your respectful note about this! If you have a second, I'd love to know: Was my error in adding "(journalist and author)" after the subject's name? While I was working on it I got a message that said I was updating an outdated version of the page so I clicked the button to take me to the most recent version. I gather that created the new page somehow? -- Sodapopinski7 ( talk) 13:00, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

After reviewing your request for the "eventcoordinator" permission, I have temporarily enabled the flag on your account until 11 January 2020. Keep in mind these things:
- The event coordinator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
- The event coordinator right allows you to temporarily add the " confirmed" permission to newly created accounts. You should not grant this for more than 10 days.
- The event coordinator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the event coordinator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
- Please note, if you were previously a member of the "account creator" group, your flag may have been converted to this new group.
If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the event coordinator right. Happy editing! — Tom Morris ( talk) 17:59, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
