I know it looks pretty close right now, as a few votes in the other direction could easily swing the vote percentages. I just wanted to wish you best of luck with your RfA, and I really do hope your RfA will pass. Too many people make concerns about experience, and I really don't think that's valid anymore. I made almost 99% of my edits from June onwards, and I successfully became admin just last week. -- Nishkid64 00:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC) reply

Heh yeah. I learned a lot about myself during that week of my RfA. What was strange about my RfA was that I didn't get oppose votes based on my inexperience, but more of my response to some negative comments posted by another editor on my RfA page. It totally blew up in my face, and I realized I had to maintain my composure if I wanted to be admin. (and this was the first time on Wikipedia that I wasn't exactly civil) This doesn't really apply to you, but I just wanted to remind you because it happens to all of us. -- Nishkid64 00:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC) reply

I've put my question on my web page, because another person has come and that seems the best place for my question Mike 16:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC) reply

Unfortunately, I was not given enough time to modify the article in question before it was deleted. I was unable to point out how that it is, in fact, remarkable, in this day and age, for a new text based, telnet reliant BBS to form and gain popularity.

For those who are aware of the history of internet discussion groups, instant message, etc, it is obvious why this is significant. Unfortunately, the article I spent an hour writing was gone before I had the opportunity to modify the content. This is AFTER an appropriate link to this bulliten board was deleted from another wiki page, and AFTER I was threatened with permanent ban for puposeful "vandalism."

If this is supposed to be a "free encyclopedia", significance and remarkability should not be decided by one person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cg2112 ( talk • contribs)

I created a page for the band The Black Swans and recieved a message from you stating that it was tagged for speedy deletion.

I wanted to let you know that this Dr. Wilson fellow has his recreated the autobiographical article you deleted, not once, but twice: as GODWIN WILSON and Wilson, Godwin. In both of the latter cases, the content is identical, bearing more of a resemblance to a resume than an article. I tagged the 2nd article for wikification, etc., before learning that it was a repost. An AfD has been started for GODWIN WILSON, but so far no one has voted. Can they both be speedied as db-repost? He seems like a decent enough chap, but these are not articles in the strictest sense. --- Charles 19:25, 3 October 2006 (UTC) reply

Dear Merope,

Why did you block the Norbert H. Kox page as a copyright infringement? In other articles there were mentions of Norbert H. Kox on Wikipedia but no "page". I took the time to put up an article page for the benefit of those interested. It took a lot of time and trouble. I have the copyright of the material used and there is no infringement. You have now made it so that I would have to go through much hassle to prove it. I do not have the time to invest, so thank yourself for cheating people out of the chance to read this article. You have wrongfully blocked an article of interest, and it will soon be removed completely from the Wikipedia files thanks to you.

Why did you delete my page? (Vasectomy Wargamers Club) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calblack ( talk • contribs)

Big congratulations on obtaining adminship. I have no doubt that you'll do a great job! As for my trust, you already have it, along with my support should you require it in any moment.

Being an admin is tough, you do all the work, handle all the flames and disputes, and most of the time get none of the gratitude. But often, the most gratifying thing about a thankless job is the job itself. Also you have a sizable group of supporters who value you and will be there to support you should the job ever get to you, which was my concern; I'd hate to lose a good user like you to the hordes of trolls and vandals.

So once again, congrats, and keep doing a good job (because hey, you already were!). Be reading you! Roadmr 16:24, 6 October 2006 (UTC) reply

hello, i have recently written an atricle about the development of an independent studio not intended for vanity or advertising purposes. the studio i am writing about has gotten acclaim from New York City to upstate New York to New Jersey to Pennsylvania to Georgia to California and has produced many commercials and songs that get heavy radio play on local radio stations and internet radio stations all around the country. With that said i believe that article i written should not be deleted because of the volume of people that inquire about wreckhouse studios every month and your very reputable webside provides them with the perfect medium to obtain that knowledge they seek about our studios. i assure you i will never use the site to advertise or for any vanity purposes and all of the information i have submitted is 100% accurate, but i would like to elaborate a bit more on some of the information. thanks you in advace for your consideration Rudolph Anthony —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wreckhouse238 ( talk • contribs)

I stand by my opposition for the most part, as I think that you should've been more aware of your diction and how it was probably perceived in your nomination. However, it seems as if you've been doing a lot of good work in your very short time as an administrator and I see no cause for concern (actions speak louder than words, of course).

Thanks for the note. I'll hold off for now.

My rationale is that he is an inactive editor except for his insistence on removing the warnings. His original activity consisted solely of promoting a software project of his (which is why he earned the warnings), and removing the warnings that he earned (which got him more warnings). I know this is in general a grey area. Given the compromise of archiving the contents of his Talk page, and considering his purpose here and consistent antisocial behaviour, I haven't had much sympathy for his pleas to have his page blanked though. Regardless, I'll hold off. — Saxifrage ✎ 02:28, 8 October 2006 (UTC) reply

Sounds good to me. Now that it's been called to my attention, too, it's easier to see that reverting was becoming more a matter of principle and habit than utility, as he indeed hasn't been doing anything but blanking.

And, tangentially, I grinned when you said "thank you" for being reasonable. As a member of the anti-spam project I've gotten used to bile in response to an instructive message, and I get the same feeling of pleasant surprise when they're reasonable that I detected in your thank-you. Thank you for your gentle tone and for doing these usually-thankless administratorly duties. — Saxifrage ✎ 02:39, 8 October 2006 (UTC) reply

I disagree with your edit summary here that "professors are generally notable". That doesn't seem to apply to the article and some other professor articles I've stumbled across clearing the CSD category. They all have to teach and specialise in one discipline or another, and that's what the article basically says. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 09:27, 8 October 2006 (UTC) reply

I'm shocked. You quoted WP:BIO which mentions the "professor test" in the Alternative tests section:

The professor test: If the individual is more well known and more published than an average college professor..., they can and should be included.

In other words, the average professor is non-notable, contrary to your interpretation:

One of our criteria for determining if a person is notable is whether they're as notable as a college professor.

There is a gulf of difference in meaning: "More well-known... than" is stricter than "as notable as". The criteria for notability as written in WP:BIO is stricter than what you've understood it to be. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 17:36, 8 October 2006 (UTC) reply

hey, I have seen that you deleted my userpage under user:sheehan.Lake I was only joking about my friend, and he saw it and thought that it was funny. I was also thinking that because the page was not true and only for a laugh for the people who know him, I could keep a note/message at the bottom of the page saying that this information is not true. This way, people will not think that there is auctually does this, and so that it can only be in a way, fun and not hurt anybody. I just wanted to say that I was not attacking him, for he is my best friend and we were only playing, infact we both made the page together. Is there anyplace that I could do this joke? And even if I can not have the page reposted, can I have what I wrote so that I can print it out, because it took us a very long time to write all of that information, and we want to show it to people.

You said to leave a note. Anyways, Salamander Square is a band famous among rabid Zelda fans for making remixes of Zelda music and whatnot. Information on the band itself is hazy, for they seem to no longer make music, but they have made a collection of songs, so I just thought I'd make a page on them. When I went to Nsider one day, I saw that a user was making a video using a song, so I contacted him about it. If you want, I'll cite my sources, which would be "last.fm" for the discography and the post that one user made on NSider, providing proof of the video being made.

Hi,

It is not the case of e-mailing the history at all. We would like the history to be deleted from the article. We are are getting comments from other pupils that have started to find out about the incident, and would rather have it deleted before parents start to read the Article History.

Thanks

If you'll notice I also requested the history to be merged of this article into The Game of Love (it's actual title - it had been cut and pasted).

Hello: You thought my article on Betterware was advertising.

This is not the intention, and to further emphesis this I added negative points of view about the company.

I created it because there is an article about Kleeneze, a company offering similar products in the same marketplace that operate's illegally; and no article about it's nearest legitimate equivalent.

Please reconsider or advise what I should leave out.

I think there should be an article about this, since it is a prominent and well-known UK company.

If anyone thinks I'm just paranoid about John Smith's, look at the Frank Hogan article, its a topic that John Smith's knows nothing about a Ny DA,and senate candidate, who has had several important biographies written about him. But because I was the creator of the article John Smith's tagged it with nonnotable. Look I didnt want to believe that John Smith's was pursuign a vendetta against me I wanted to beleiev that it was just a coincidence and that he was just very active in China related articles, but the NYDa has nothing to do with his "expertise" it was clearly done simply to "punish" me, it is IMPOSSIBLe that it was a coincidence.

The article "ResortQuest International, Inc." has been deleted based on redirects that were created today. Please reinstate the article, as the both the company's parent and sister companies have lengthy, legitimate Wikipedia articles. The ResortQuest International article itself contains factual historic and industry-related information and contains no external links except for a single link at the end of the article to the offical ResortQuest website.

Regarding the redirects, they were created in an attempt to access the article when searching on similar terms, such as the more common "ResortQuest" or "Resort Quest" and variations thereof. Is there a better/simpler way to ensure that such searches find the "ResortQuest International, Inc." article? Prior to the article being deleted, such searches did not result in finding the actual article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Limnologist ( talk • contribs)

Thank you for the advice on submitting a review. Would you consider re-posting the article and allowing me to revise the content? You mentioned that it did not adhere to the policy of neutral point of view.

Also, would you kindly respond to my question about ensuring that searches find the correct article (so that redirects are not necessary), or point me to a Wiki article that better explains this process? Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Limnologist ( talk • contribs)

Please see my comments about SMFR on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UngBDSM. Also, please note that I also created an article about Turun Baletti, where similar notability concerns apply. Myself, I think both organisations are notable as being the only public BDSM organisations in Helsinki and Turku, respectively. The article List of BDSM organizations (gosh I hate typing that "zee" every time) originally had over 92% of its organisations in the USA, so I created articles about two Finnish organisations to counter its apparent geographic bias.

Hey -- I was just going to de-speedy this article and prod it when you deleted it. I know you're a new admin -- I just wanted to mention it. I felt that the article didn't meet CSD A7 because it talked about them "set[ting] the standard for the Chicago based punk scene and paved the way for bands such as The Ninny's and The Dermits just to name a few." A7 should be very restrictive -- any importance (not just WP:MUSIC or WP:BIO "notability") should be enough. Anyway, if you end up agreeing with me I'd still leave it deleted unless the author shows up requesting undeletion... WP:SNOW and all that. Mango juice ^talk 19:47, 10 October 2006 (UTC) reply

With regard to the removal of the speedy delete tag from Todd marriott, although that article asserted notability, its claims were fake, having been adapted from the first few paragraphs of the article Phil Collins. "Marriott" even had the same song titles as Phil Collins. I don't believe that the speedy delete criteria should be so restrictive that obvious hoaxes are entitled to a five-day reprieve. Otherwise, there would be no way to speedy delete an article along the following lines:

Metro Politan90 is the 44th President of the United States, having been elected in 2004 and taking office in 2005. He was previously the Governor of Texas and is married to Laura Politan90 and has twin daughters, Jenna Politan90 and Barbara Politan90.

That would assert notability, and it's not patent nonsense, but it certainly isn't the kind of thing Wikipedia needs to keep around for five days either. -- Metropolitan90 06:31, 11 October 2006 (UTC) reply

I started an article called "Barangay Health Volunteers, Philippines".

I saved it to test that it is already published. Then proceeded to edit it to add more information. When I tried to save the new information I put in, you had already deleted the article, with no reason given.

Kindly explain. Please help me navigate through these, because this is a very important first step to get our Health Volunteers into globalization.

I will re-create the article now. And request that you allow it time to digest, distill and grow. And at anytime you feel strongly about deleting it again, kindly warn us, so that we can explain why it is "notable".

I will also assure you as a professional that the article is notable and is relevant to over 100,000 Health volunteers in the Philippines and an equal number of professionals who support and have faith in them.

Hi- I tried to provide an historical account of our company. The reason for this is that there are other companies with the same name, and I wanted to create something online that people can go to, to research the differences, and determine which one we are. I don't consider this advertising, but research. Can you please let me know if this is acceptable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Solderguy ( talk • contribs)

you deleted my post why?

Sorry, I did not read your comment carefully. Good to know that I can still contribute to wiki community. In addition, they put ni some type of a watchlist or something like that and can you help with that? They are assuming that I am a sock puppet of another E European scholar User:Bonaparte. This, in fact, sounds kind of Xenofobic to me, but it is my personal opinion, which I will keep to myself. I hope you won't subscribe to the point of view, that E Europeans are nationalists who try to purvey the NPOV on wiki. I promise to leave the Khoikhoi, Ghirla, Mikka and ^Co's page.

Ha! I'm in New York - the rest of them around me observe Daylight Savings (including my husband, who tries unsuccessfully to convince me that it gets dark too early when we turn the clocks back) - this is my own personal grievance against the farmers who apparently have tremendous power in this world and have convinced most of the country to go with DST. As I've pointed out elsewhere, we're not farmers here! I hate DST. I go along kicking and screaming, looking forward to the last weekend of October. I just didn't think the wiki tag about loathing it was strong enough. In my heart I don't observe it. Glad to meet a fellow traveller!

Hi, Bob Justin is a museum collected award winning and whats the term, registered artist? He has had his work toured around the world and shown and sold in galleries on the New York City and other points in the country and collected by notable collectors such as the American Folk Art Museum, the New Jersey State Museum of Art and the Johnsons of the Johnson and Johnsons. I was intending to add some of this to the article as I went along getting a full description added, though maybe not the Johnson and Johnson bit - thats kind of personal IMO. If necessary I can link to a newspaper article online, not sure how much else is online to verify the above. Thats kind of the point, putting stuff online about his work. Is being museum owned not notable? How much do you need just to have an article on wiki? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yelloone ( talk • contribs)

OK, thanks. I was just starting to look into it when the article disapeared out from under me. -- StuffOfInterest 17:51, 20 October 2006 (UTC) reply

My only concern with deleting the short ones too quickly is that the author may be actively trying to work on it. I've seen a few come and go in just a couple of minutes. For a newbie this could come across as a bit of a slap. Still, certainly with this one, it was justified if the article was patent nonsense. -- StuffOfInterest 17:55, 20 October 2006 (UTC) reply

Hiya, I concurred with the prod on the article. Also, I had a question, since I'm trying to improve my knowledge of some of the subtleties of WP:CSD. Can you explain why you feel that the article was not a speedy-delete candidate, under A7 or G10? That will help me to better tag these kinds of articles in the future. Thanks. -- Elonka 18:14, 20 October 2006 (UTC) reply

Thank you for your reply.  :) On second reflection, I think it might make more sense to change the article to a redirect to Spongebob Squarepants, since there's already a mention of the parody there. Would you support that? -- Elonka 18:28, 20 October 2006 (UTC) reply

Hello there,

I recently posted information (including a notable history) on RockResorts and am confused as to why it was deleted.

The RockResorts entry was not an advertising scam, simply a way to inform people about company information.

Other similiar pages exist and include: Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Kimpton Hotels & Restauarant Group, Intercontinental, Taj Mahal Hotel, Lowes Hotels.

Please understand my confusion.

I saw at least one which was definitely a correct template, as I mention on AN/I.

I did several and stopped, mostly because it's a lot of repetitive work. Gotyear 02:26, 24 October 2006 (UTC) reply

Why the harsh message. I'm not abusing the {{ helpme}} template at all. I am coding a bot, IN bootcamp (where the {{ helpme}}'s are shown) and they know about it, and they know that I don't need help. I have several people (including helpers from bootcamp, a bootcamp op, and even the bot co-coder) that can easily back me up, that I am not ABUSING the template. Take a look at User:Deon555's history and User_talk:Deon555's history (look two or three threads above ur message), and you will see I have used the {{ helpme}} template numerous times. I am a "Helpme helper" myself, and I'm in bootcamp, to help, to code, and to let the other helpers know that I don't need help. If you are/were actually in bootcamp you would have seen this. — D e on555 ^talk _Review 02:47, 24 October 2006 (UTC) reply

I'm sincere in that statement, though I bet you wish you heard that more often. :)

I asked you to help me rollback, since you'd done a few, but you said you weren't sure if you were doing the right thing. I understood your reluctance, but especially with Gimmetrow's reasoning "Many of the blank ones have history that may be worth saving." and Grandmasterka's assistance and rebuke "It's disruptive to mark a lot of images as "corrupt or missing" when this is clearly not the case.", I felt it would be prudent for me to finish the task.

The full explanation and hopefully a template change so more good faith editors won't misunderstand and panic is being discussed at AN/I, here, to be precise. Please weigh in on the template wording if you have any thoughts. Gotyear 10:16, 25 October 2006 (UTC) reply

Hi,

Just wondering why my article was deleted?

Thanks, Gus Buster

Hi,

It is HUD USER. The reason was CSD 11. It's not spam. It was made to be informative, just as the Department of Housing and Urban Development's article is informative.

Thanks, Gus Buster

Why did you delete the "chfbupers" article I made? It is entirely true. Robert Heinlein does, in fact, use the term "CHFBUPERS" once in the book, Citizen of the Galaxy, yet he never explains what it means. Read the book yourself if you don't believe me.

While I realise that you are no longer handling the issue personally (and I really cant say I blame you!)

Hi there, you've decided the article Yorkshire hip hop doesn't meet the criteria for speedy deletion, and removed the template - that's fine. But does the scope of an admin extend to suggesting ways of sorting pages out? Can you nominate it for deletion the usual route. The problem is no-else is bothering to look at this article, take steps to fix it, or suggest other alternatives. My concern that if an admin deletes the template without entering the discussion it doesn't do anything to improve the article, and it's easy for many to miss the fact that is was ever nominated for deletion. I appreciate admins are busy people... but we all are, so something more constructive would be helpful. Please don't reply to me personally, but add your comments to the article's talk page.

I have prepared an article about Sasha Grey that seems to me to satisfy 2 notability criteria as stated on the respective page for pornographic actors. I hope you will find the time to read it. I apologize for the mistakes that I might have done. I am not an English native speaker. Thank you.

P.S. Unfortunately, her first appearance in the Los Angeles Magazine is not featured on the magazine's website. Fortunately, the title of the article is visible on the cover for the november issue of the magazine, as posted on http://www.losangelesmagazine.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=14D5B253DB1D499F9AD38F459D8E926A&nm=&type=Publishing&mod=Publications%3A%3AArticle&mid=8F3A7027421841978F18BE895F87F791&tier=2&did=0DB6970EC6C941C4B0B92F4BF70F4444&dtxt=November+2006

Sasha Grey (born March 14, 1988, Sacramento) is an American pornographic actress.

Pornographic film career

A rising star in the adult film industry, Sasha Grey started her career in 2006 in a scene with one of the most important adult male stars, Rocco Siffredi. The movie, a blockbuster shot in high def, is Fashionistas 2, a sequel to the movie that had spawned the Las Vegas show bearing the same name. She followed that with 13 more titles, establishing her reputation as an adult actress ready for any challenge, ready to push the boundaries or even break them. Days after she celebrated her 18th birthday, but almost a year after starting her research about the wolrd of pornography, Sasha found herself an agent, moved to LA and started her career. Her beauty and passion for sex helped her achieve in less than a year what other girls can't dream of when they start in the adult film industry. On top of her acting, Sasha recently agreed to write a column for the adult publication Fox. She is featured in an article in the November 2006 issue of Los Angeles Magazine, her first mainstream media appearance..

Quotes

Sasha Grey: "... I was already having that kind of sex you saw in porn. I was just bored with my sex life at that point. Some of the porn I was watching wasn't very arousing and didn't get me off. I thought, 'if they can do this, maybe I can add a little something extra'." ( http://www.xrentdvd.com/Porn_Star_Interviews/Sasha_Grey.html)

Hi there, as you probably noticed from the article I was trying to put in, I am new to Wikipedia. Can you give me a couple of hints as to why you deleted it? I thought I was doing OK with it... Thanks!

I guess i'm not too clear on this

I was attempting to make a page for my band, the notability being we are a rock band from CT who isn't just trying to change the whole rock scene in the state, we are changing the rock scene in the state.

"Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city (or both, as in British hip hop); note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability."

We are Connecticut's Best Original Rock Band

this can be verified by The Hartford Advocate see http://www.hartfordadvocate.com

Also "Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast on a national radio network"

this can be verified by WCCC 106.9 FM AND Ultraradio.com

please let me know what i have to do to get a page up on the great Wikipedia

Thank you very much

Gabe

Hi,

I'm sorry to have you waste your time and go through this. I wasn't too clear on the rules and regulations of Wikipedia when i started making the page (however i do believe we count as Notable Musicians). I was sort of confused and when the Federal Bison page was deleted, the interface on Wikipedia made it even more confusing for me. I'm a first time user, and again my apologies.

Gabe

I edited up my Federal Bison page just about as best i know how to. If there is anything that shouldn't be on there (tour dates? or anything else) let me know so I can do my best to remove it. Also, i guess just inform me when you can about how to get it actually up and editable (?) We are excited to be a part of the Wikipedia Community and thanks for your time!!

Gabe

I didnt really know how to go about Citing sources, do you want me to put the article sites from the newspaper at the bottom of the page too?? or is INTERNALLY LINKING it good enough?? ha, sorry man. I am totally new to this.

I asked a buddy of mine if he knew who Gary Hoey was, because we are playing a show with him soon, and he said he didn't know, but then he sent me the Wikipedia page for Gary Hoey and I thought it was the coolest thing that I could just edit it and whathaveyou. Okay I'm done yappin

Lemme know whats good! Thanks again  : )

I was working on an entry for The Parson Red Heads. They are an up and coming band in LA - this was all noted on the page. They are a band. They are releasing a new record in early 2007. They are starting to get a lot of attention. I don't know why this isn't enough to make a page "notable". It is notable because they exist - they are in the public eye, they have a history, and it deserves to be learned about it people would like to learn about it. I thought that's what this website was all about.

I had written quite a bit of the entry already, when you decided to delete it. I'm upset that I have to do all that work again. Honestly, I shouldn't have to. When I DO re-enter it, I'd appreciate it if you don't delete it. It upsets me that you would claim to know what is notable and what isn't notable in the first place.

Please see your user page, and the history of User talk:Isaactret, paying particular attention to this oldid. Crimsone 21:52, 31 October 2006 (UTC) reply

No problem. Happy to help. It was funny though I must admit - unacceptale, but funny none the less :) Crimsone 22:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC) reply

In the entry I was writing up, I stated that Dane Garrard, our bass player, is also a member of the band The Tyde. This band is on a VERY important indie label - Rough Trade (with bands such as The Strokes and the Fiery Furnaces). In your criteria for notability, it states that if a member of the band is also in, or was in, a band that is nationally acclaimed, then that qualifies the band as being notable. If you look up the Tyde's myspace page, you can see that Dane Garrard is a current member. You can also see that they are on a national tour, and that they recently played huge festivals in Japan.

If this does not meet criteria for notability, please let me know.

Thanks for fixing this. I have noted how to move/rename pages for future reference. Bordeaux2000 21:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC) reply

Sorry to bother you (again) but i don't quite know how to ReSubmit my article. When i type Federal Bison in the Search it says the page has been deleted and protected to prevent re-creation. I'm so new at this again, but i'll learn I SWEAR. And thanks for reformatting the page for me, much obliged!

ooooooooh down here it says: "Please note: If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it. "!!!!!! i love wikipedia wording —Preceding unsigned comment added by Isaactret ( talk • contribs)

Please stop it. This is going to get you banned for disruption if you continue - it really is unnessecary. Yes, Merope (and I too) has a sense of humour. We also have a sense of responsibility, a sense of duty, and knowledge enough of the rules, policies, and guidelines of wikipedia to wikilawyer with the best of them. It's not going to happen.

Although i do occasionally doubt that my sense of humour gets to some people, i have a belief that it reached you on some level :|

Vandals are fundimental to the project, they create a viable reason for more administrators, who do not become bored, and in turn create possibilities of a bigger community within the project. dont mention it. Its the Wikicircle of life, there are vandals and administrators, my volunteer work is getting hard, so im going to quit, hopefully a vandal with a good sense of humour and a respect for administrators will succeed me.

p.s. i worked out the whole "if you dont put a headline it looks like the last person did it... eventially —Preceding unsigned comment added by Isaactret ( talk • contribs)

HELLO MEROPE! how do you wikiprenounce merope? i always think theropy or something. how do the oldid wikithings work? they look wikifun. I saw the old wikimessages and im glad you enjoyed all that, and also i think you thought i was implying you didnt have a sense of humour, although i was moreso wikiasking you wether you thought it was funny, i forgot what i wrote so its all confusing. The whole commenting system is out of line!!! there should be a version which doesnt involve editin a page, and wikipedos wouldnt be alowed to see your messages

wikibyefornow!

p.s. what is an enneagram?

So, I re-vamped the Parson Red Heads entry. Tell me if it needs changes - if no, could you assist me in putting it back up?
