WE ALL LOVE YOU TOO MUCH FOR YOU TO KILL YOURSELF.

Please reconsider. —Signed, your friendly neighborhood MessedRocker. 11:39, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Are you serious? Reconsider, please. You have a bright future ahead of you, don't discard it. Terence Ong 恭喜发财 11:49, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

You have got to be kidding me. Seek help, don't do something so silly. – Chacor 11:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

This is not the solution, it's not the end. Please reconsider. Things will get better. - Mailer Diablo 14:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I second all the above. This is not the way. Ripberger 07:44, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

You've heard what I have to say. His drunkenness? Not your problem. You get the raw end of the deal having to deal with it, yes, and is it fair? Absolutely not. Suicide fixes the here and now, but what of the future? Well, it will no longer exist. You won't have to put up with your father, but you won't have to put up with us either. No having to deal with warm summer days, and picnics on the beach, no having to bother travelling around the world and seeing all the wonderful sights there are to see. No laughing with friends, no more chess tournaments, no more staying up late writing with a flashlight under the covers. No finding out what a good wine with cheese and baguette on a cool autumn afternoon tastes like. No chance to cheer up somebody's day, to tell someone they matter, or to tell them you care. No hugs or sticky kisses from cousins or neices or nephews, no thrill at entering college or university knowing you're creating a future for yourself. No nervous first day at the job that will rocket you skywards to become all you want to be. No notes from friends saying "thank you for caring", no birthday parties, no holiday celebrations, no chance to do all the things you haven't gotten to do yet. Fly a plane, go scuba diving, sail around the world, beat Deep Blue. Who knows?
Life holds far too many possibilities to throw it away now. You DO have people who care about you. You ARE loved, and you DO matter. Don't you ever let anyone tell you you don't. Prove, to your father and to us and most importantly to yourself, that you can survive and make a difference and become something. I know you can, and you are going to. There is no way someone as talented and smart as you could do anything less. Life is hard, but there are too many things to enjoy and to accomplish and to see in the world to throw it away now.

I may not know you as well as some, but if there's anything Wikipedia has taught us, it's that anyone, child or adult, educated or not, has the power to spread knowledge to the world, to millions of living people and people yet unborn. Even your small contributions are greatly magnified in their impact. But that doesn't just apply to Wikipedia articles - even when you just talk to a friend or smile at a stranger, you're permanently improving the larger world in a way that you can't escape, even in death. You matter, and have many more opportunities to matter, if you will only seize and believe in them. Deco 09:55, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I just want to echo the concerns voiced above. — WiseKwai 13:45, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

You've gotten great advice, and it will probably keep pouring in - people care about you! You deserve to take care of yourself. -- Natalya 15:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

As I can't say anything original, I'll go for a "what Ayelie said". We don't want to lose you. Will ^{(Speak to Me/Breathe)}_{(Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash)} 17:33, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I can't add anything like what E@L wrote, because it's just so well-written, so let me just add to what Deco said: User:Ed once had an essay about how even the slightest action can make a big difference in someone else's life. The essay was deleted because it was unencyclopedic, but the message still holds true: by choosing life, you can still help others and impact the world. It may not feel like it now, but you have the potential to touch countless lives, both now and especially in the future. Please don't throw that away. We care about you. --Kyoko 20:33, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

• Don't do anything silly, even if it means being autistic, being abused, being discriminated, failing in what you do, having Asperger's Syndrome or all of the above. The O Levels are waiting for you. Go and do it! :)--Tdxiang 09:10, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Was Esperanza suddenly undeleted? --J.L.W.S. The Special One 17:02, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Glad to see you back in action! You certainly had us worried. Ripberger 00:33, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Dear Hildanknight, I have looked through your pages and I just feel compelled to add my two cents worth of encouragement. At fifteen every thing can seem all black or all white. You need to have someone, other than just the friends of your age to be able to talk to and to give you some guidance; I don't know, maybe a sympathetic teacher you respect or a counsellor, or someone older who will just listen. You are lucky to be blessed with the gift of writing. May I suggest you take up reading too? And not just reading on the net. When I was 14, I had an experience that would probably equal what you are going thru and I was alone, not daring to trust anyone, not even my family. Books were my solace and I am what I am today because of them (luckily there was no internet then). But I made it, so can you. Perhaps Wikipedia is not the best place for you. You should take it in small doses. The culture here is one of bullying and mediocrity. You are better off wandering around library shelves like I did and learn about the classics, the world at large, art and literature. You are welcome to meet my hubby (an established singaporean poet and writer) and I when we come back to Singapore in summer. I have offered to host the summer meetup of the SGpedians but I don't know if they will accept. But you can meet us on your own and bring along some of your creative writing for Chandran to comment on. Do you write poetry? A bientôt and hang in there!Ivygohnair 18:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You are the subject of an ongoing request for arbitration.

Please see here. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 10:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

You can't bring an arbitration case on yourself. I believe (I can't be bothered to search through over a year of RFAR requests) Ed Poor (talk • contribs) tried that some time ago and it was promptly rejected. Hbdragon88 04:15, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I can assume this is an April Fools' joke? You don't need any editing sanctions. In fact, if you weren't stressed out IRL, I'd nominate you for adminship. (And that's *not* an april fool's joke.) Anyway, good luck dealing with everything in real life. ~Crazytales 01:50, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Of course it's an April Fools' joke! The "arbitration case" may now be dismissed, though please ask the arbitrators, clerks and other Wikipedians to comment at my editor review (I know they are busy, so I don't expect many responses). Once I receive sufficient feedback, I will continue to contribute productively as much as real life permits me to. Perhaps after a few months, I may be a suitable admin candidate - who knows? --J.L.W.S. The Special One 08:46, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

This Clerk admits he was fooled, and was also quite concerned given the other contents of this page. I've removed the case from the RfAr page. Newyorkbrad 03:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Thank you for your Support on my recent nomination for adminship, which passed with a final tally of 89/1/1. If there's anything I can help with, then you know where to find me. Cheers. - Michael Billington (talk) 07:15, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

On 5 April 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Best Bet, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.
