Andy Anderson

Say, are you the same person as Andybrevard (talk · contribs) ? Both of you have only edited pages regarding Brevard County's Andy Anderson. -- 65.92.180.225 (talk) 06:14, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

I am new to wiki and teaching myself how to write and edit in order to write about east central Florida topics and persons of interest - specifically political figures. I used the user name AndyBrevard as that was the subject if my first article. Unfortunately I was accused by other users of actually being Andy Anderson because of my user name. So - I created a new account in order to elevate that concern as I am not Andy Anderson. I'm sure there was a better way to do it - but I am learning. Any suggestions or guidance is appreciated.

If an editor or administrator would like to remove "AndyBrevard" - that would be fine - or merge those edits to to "badboyzshop" - I am fine with that. I apologize for any confusion I may have caused. Badboyzshop (talk) 12:49, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

December 2012

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give User:Andybrevard/sandbox a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Andy A. Anderson. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia 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. 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 Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. -- 65.92.180.225 (talk) 06:35, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Your old username

I imagine the WP:Administrators' noticeboard thread on you will be closed shortly; there's nothing wrong with changing usernames, though if you plan to do so in the future, I'd encourage you to doing through WP:RENAME. Anyways, just so no one accuses you of trying to evade scrutiny, I'd suggest that you add {{Altuser|Badboyzshop}} to the top of your old userpage and old user talk page, and add {{User previous account|Andybrevard}} either to your userpage on this account (if you'd like to create a userpage) or to the top of this user talk page. Hope that helps. — Francophonie&Androphilie^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 00:35, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Oh, and, just for the sake of completeness, I'd suggest that you use your old account (if you still have the password) when you add the templates to its user page and user talk page. That way, there will be a definitive record of that account confirming that it's run by the same person as this account. — Francophonie&Androphilie^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 00:39, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Article selected for deletion

Thank you Francophonie&Androphilie - but this article was place in Articles for deletion - no valid reason given - is this how the process works? I am writing 2 more articles because I found the process fascinating to this point. Can anybody nominate an article for deletion based on very subjective criteria or political philosophy? If so - I'll cease my efforts regarding my East Central Florida contributions for Wiki. Too bad - I was really getting to learn and enjoy Wiki. Badboyzshop (talk) 02:04, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andy Anderson (politician) -- alot of articles are put up for deletion. Don't let that get you down. The COI issue probably hurt you. Though, the fact that CommissionerAAfromBrevard made national news might be enough for the article to survive. You might want to discuss with WP:USA about which articles about East Florida would likely survive deletion discussions. -- 70.24.248.246 (talk) 07:34, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
