Yep. I done left. I got mad about some stupidity that was going on at an article I'd worked a lot on, and took time to cool down. By the time I'd cooled down enough to think about coming back, I'd discovered what life was like without Wikipedia, learned that I liked it, moved to a new city, and been busy doing actual work instead of wasting time in front of a computer all day.

Oh, thank heavens your alright, I was getting worried. I hope your future is bright Evilphoenix! :) semper fi — Moe 23:35, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

It's sad to see that you've officially left. My contributions have been a lot less than before, largely because my son and other things in my life are taking up a lot of time, but like you (and in a chicken-or-the-egg situation), once I stopped working on Wikipedia because I needed more time IRL, I discovered how much more time I had IRL once I stopped working on Wikipedia, and I found that I liked it. But I'm still back, albeit in a much less active role than before. I hope you'll come back, even in a reduced capacity! With the loss of Hermione1980 as well, there are scant few people from the old incarnation of the Wikiproject left. Cheers, Deathphoenix ʕ 06:09, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry to see you go, Evilphoenix, you were a wonderful presence while you were around. I know some editors had disagreements with you at J. K. Rowling, but we all experience that edit conflict. Hope you see this, come back in every now and then and do just a little work -- it would be great to have you back. Best, Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 06:45, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Evilphoenix. My name is Sandy. I work at Wikimedia Foundation. A journalist would like to talk to an active Wikipedian in the South Carolina area. Would you be interested? His angle is Wikipedia as a growing phenomena. Let me know if you are available. My email is sordonez@wikimedia.org. -- Sandy

[edit] Clemson University/Uncited

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Clemson University/Uncited, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Evil: You did a good job on creating the Clemson University Wiki, however you should have had more about Clemson's will,controversy, and the fact that he left $15,000 and some personal items to his granddaughter Florine Issaella. That part of the will was contested because Gideon Lee, Florine's father, didn't think his daughter got a fair shake. The Clemson's land (814 acres)surrounding Fort Hill and the remaining money(80,000 in cash and securities) was willed to the state Clemson and his wife Ann Calhoun Clemson had planned to leave Fort Hill to the State so that after their deaths a "Fort Hill Scientific Institution" could be founded. After her death in 1885 Clemson made additional changes to his will by a codile in 1887 which changed the name from Fort Hill Scientific Institution to Clemson Agricultural College. Friends of South Carolina's established denomintional colleges and the Citadel were interested in the money and not having another College established as they were recieving money from the Morrill and Hatch Acts and were afraid this new college would lessen their funding. The SC legislation in 1887 passed a resolution that expanded South Carolina College to a University which permitted a experiment station for its agricultral and mechanical programs. The fact that Clemson's will stated that there would be 7 life trustees did not go well with the legislators. The conditions of Clemson's will became a hotly debated political issue. The House and Senate met to redify to accept Clemson's bequest and it was passed on Christmas eve 1888. The Govner refused to sign the bill but the US Court of Appeals ruled in 1889 that Clemson's will was valid and later in November 1889 the new esteblished college became Clemson Agricultural College.
