Welcome to Wikipedia edit
Listed below are some brief introductions containing all the basics needed to use, comment on, and contribute to Wikipedia.
- Main Introduction — What is Wikipedia?
- Wikipedia:A Primer for newcomers — A good starting point.
- The Five Pillars — What are the principles behind Wikipedia?
- Quick Introductions to:
- Policies and guidelines — How does Wikipedia actually work?
- Talk pages — How do I communicate in Wikipedia?
- Referencing — How do I add sources to articles?
- Uploading images — How do I add and use images?
- Navigating Wikipedia — How do I find my way around?
- What Wikipedia is not - even though everyone can edit it, Wikipedia is still an encyclopedia.
If you want to know more about a specific subject, Help:Help explains how to navigate the many help pages.
- Google: Wikipedia is very well indexed by Google. Searching for a term, even about an editing question, followed by "wiki" or "wikipedia" usually pulls up what you need.

Some peaches for you! edit
Sdkb has given you a bowl of peaches! This delicious and typically non-allergenic fruit promotes WikiLove and has hopefully made your day juicier. Spread peachiness and WikiLove by giving someone else some peaches, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend, by adding {{subst:Peach}} to their talk page with a friendly message!

Request reason:
My violation was an accident as I had an older, inactive account that somehow became associated with my current account. I would appreciate it if the User:Thorr1881 account is deleted so that I can continue editing with this account effectively and positively. Thank you.
Decline reason:
This is not a case where the other account was inactive. Instead, you used it to edit exactly the same articles as this account. Yamla (talk) 20:31, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:
I have been blocked because the account User:Thorr1881 exists, which is an old account that I had not logged onto in years. My previous unblock request was denied because it was seemingly not inactive as there were recent edits on the same articles I was editing on this account. This is because, for some reason, when I edited on this account, the other account was sometimes attributed as the editor. This happened despite me not even having access to the other account. The accounts had become connected in some way and it was never my intention to use them both. I have no idea how this happened, which makes it difficult to defend myself or fix the problem myself. Any violation was completely an accident. This was something I had actually noticed not long ago but didn't know how to stop it from happening. I would like to continue contributing and the only way I see this being possible, is for the User:Thorr1881 account to be deleted so that I can continue using this one, without any issues. Please help me.
Decline reason:
What you are claiming is not possible under Wikipedia's technology, given that you need to physically log out and log into accounts. A simpler explanation is that you were swapping between these two accounts. Thorr1881 (talk · contribs) had been used a few times over the last few years, so your claim that you hadn't logged into it for several years isn't accurate.
