[edit] March 2005
A 9-year-old asking a question about why Wikipedia has such a silly name. Speedy time? (I'm not 100% familiar with the criteria for speedy, so I played it safe and put the nomination here.)23skidoo 18:37, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete as user test. Wyss 18:46, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- If it's really from a nine-year-old, it seems we have a very intelligent and interesting one on our hands. This looks like a speedy delete as a misplaced village pump message/newbie experiment. Admins? - Lucky 6.9 18:48, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- We have a 9-year-old on our hands, probably more than one. See Types of animals, Ellen Raskin, Wikipedia:Introduction, and [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]]). Uncle G 19:48, 2005 Feb 9 (UTC)
- FWIW we also have a registered Wikipedian who will turn 8 next month, who's edits I review from time to time as they're a bit hit or miss. He has an amazing interest in politics and national/world affairs for someone that age. Niteowlneils 20:07, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Hey, can't complain about people starting at an early age, though one wonders if someone who can figure out how to create an article couldn't figure out how to access the Village Pump, but then again it's been awhile since I was 9! ;-) 23skidoo 03:52, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- You don't need to "figure out" out how to create an article, WP practically begs you to do it if you click on a red link or your search fails. Kappa 06:29, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
