I'd like to point you to Wikipedia:UN#Sharing_accounts. It is forbidden to share accounts. Based on your choice of a user name, and the fact you said "we" in one of your posts leads me to believe you may have chosen an inappropriate username. Please consider getting single accounts for each member of your household.-Andrew c ^[talk] 17:52, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Andrew for the information. I/We would like to take an opportunity to explain the circumstances surrounding my/our use of singular/plural in referencing myself/ourselves. In doing so, I/we would like your input on if it would be Wikipropriate to continue on as such. Our family, the Riley Family, is currently made up of our 17 month old son, my wife, and I. Our Family believes in the "Word of God", aka the bible. In the bible it states that a man and a woman become one and the Messiah stated he, the son, is one with his father. When there is a communication for what we are in agreement with, it is communicated as "we" and not "me". This is because we are not separate in our way of thinking. The same goes for when the the Lord is in a person, they are one also. So when I say "I" it more than likely means "we", and when I say "we", I am included. However since many are not active participants of this understanding, when I feel I want to convey this, I make sure I use "we" so others may know it is not I alone in the particular manner of thinking but communicating as those that believe it also. So even if I say "I" it may mean "we" regardless, and the only way many would understand this is if I make it clear. I usually use "we" when referencing any biblical or religious type of communications knowing we are in agreement and conveying it on our behalf. My/Our Wikipedia involvement is not a collaboration of separate parties but is a mutual understanding of our families shared knowledge and use of time in our families schedule. It would be seemingly difficult to do this without this kind of support. So regardless of the name on the account being singular or plural, like the use of Elohim in the scriptures, it would amount to the same anyway. Also if we had separate accounts we would only have to repeat the same information again anyway. I am not trying to make this difficult or complicated. I have a way of doing things and sometimes it cramps the style of those around me, however, I do try to accomodate laws, policies, and procedures as best as possible. If you have any suggestions or comments I would be glad to hear from you. Thank you for your time The Riley Family (talk) 18:51, 22 February 2009 (UTC).[reply]
