User talk:Terrydehavilland

A tag has been placed on your user page,

FAQ for Organizations

.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: Click here to contest this speedy deletion which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, 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 help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. DMacks (talk) 09:33, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your username, and first advice

First response to your message on my talk page: if you are not Terry de Havilland, you should not have an account in his name. Please choose a new username which will represent only you. It can be based on your real name, or not, as you choose (see

WP:REALNAME for some considerations), but it must not be the name of a group or organization, or of another real person. Then click on Wikipedia:Changing username

, read to the bottom of that page, click on "Simple", and follow the instructions.

I will give you more advice later, but for a start read
