You can contact me by leaving a message on the bottom of my talk page! For something more personal, I guess you could send me an email by clicking on "e-mail this user" in the bottom left of the screen in the "toolbox," but I prefer talk page.

I remember the article, and remember editing, however do not remember my contributions. X [Mac Davis] (DESK|How's my driving?) 04:44, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes! It is like that. We use it to talk and corroborate on articles. I see you are new here, would you like a proper welcoming? If you ever need any help give me a call at my talk page. Just make a new section, and say something under there, ending it ~~~~ so I know who you are. X [Mac Davis] (DESK|How's my driving?) 05:43, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia is also big on not infringing copyrights, don't learn it the hard way. Wikipedia doesn't like vandalism, so don't learn the hard way

[edit] Atlantean Language Article

Could you please explain why you disabled those links on the Atlantean language article? You said they were "blacklisted". What did you mean by that?

Unfortunately someone on the french wikipedia was heavily spamming links to that website... I don't know the details of it, but the result was that the link was added to the BlackList (banned links list) at meta. That means the system won't let anyone add the link to any article and as a side effect won't let articles with the link be edited until the link is removed.

I "broke" the link on those pages as a temporary measure to let people edit the article. Basically just some housekeeping. I made sure the link was still there in the code so it could be replaced if the blacklisting was removed. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 19:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
