[edit] Your Signature

Thanks for helping out on the Doug Gottlieb edit wars. Your signature doesn't allow for a direct link to your talk page. You need to go into "my preferences" and uncheck the box for raw signature. You can use the raw signature, but you need to create some wiki-code, and I'm not the one to help you there!!!! Orangemarlin 04:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gradey Alexander

Hi, I noticed your query on the Gradey Alexander discussion page. I've done a bit of research into the subject and am convinced that the article is a hoax. I've asked an administrator's help in getting a speedy deletion. Victoriagirl 18:16, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, again. Thought you'd be interested to know that the Gradey Alexander artcle has been nominated as an Article for Deletion. Victoriagirl 22:44, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Nice, I am fairly sure that it is a hoax. Having checked all the links and books referenced, and not being able to come up with anything. Dureo 01:04, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Signing posts and substituting templates

Hi Dureo, thanks for helping in reverting vandalism.

Can I remind you to sign your posts when you leave warnings on user pages.

Also, it is good practice to substitute the template with the text to reduce the load on the server. If the templates remains unsubstituted then every time a page is visited all the templates will need to load their text from the source. A template is substituted by adding subst: to the start of the template text. For example {{subst:uw-vandalism2}}. Regards LittleOldMe 11:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
