[edit] Happy?

There. I finally got a signature that makes my account look unique and isn't loud and disruptive like yours :) Trusilver 18:03, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Hi, sorry for vandalising, i know it sounds stupid but if i actually thought my vandal edit would not be soon reverted i wouldn't have done it because i don't want to harm this great project, but then thinking about it, by vandalising i am consuming the time of good editors of the project like yourself and thus also harming the project, so, to cut a long story short, i'm sorry, and having thought through my actions, i promise i won't do it again. P.S. sorry to read of your illness(?), it was a heart warming story tbh and i'm delighted that on the internet and WP you don't face the communication barriers that you must otherwise encounter in daily life. Sorry for being a pain, and keep up the good work! ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.77.168.8 (talk) 05:03, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

It's okay. How about you contribute to the project instead of vandalizing? We have a pretty fun time around here and you are welcome to be a part of it. :) DesertAngel 05:06, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation pages

I'm glad I could be an inspiration :) I've actually finished the Q's now, as well as the P's (there weren't very many Q's, and I've started the R's.

This is the type of editing I like doing, as it's fast and results in few edit conflicts, 98% of my edits stick without being reverted (and the ones that get reverted, if I notice them, I explain the manual of style page to the reverter and they give in).

I suggest that, in your edit summaries, you might want to include a link to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages), as this will decrease the number of people who revert your edits. Many people otherwise will have no idea why you removed so many of the lovely blue links from their favorite disambiguation page. --Xyzzyplugh (talk) 20:56, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Baarle

Why dit you remove the link to the Drongen Baarle? Because it is a red link?

The avoiding of red links, together with the references and sources (what a fuss!) has become a real cancer on the English Wikipedia. I do not say this to you only but to this whole community. The English Wikipedia community seems to have forgotten that red links form the engine of a Wikipedia!

Greetings, Belgian man (talk) 20:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Drongen Baarle I left, the other one, the one under "see also" I didn't. According to the manual of style, redlinks do not belong on disambiguation pages if the only link is to the disambiguation page itself. DesertAngel 03:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I didn't know this rule. Belgian man (talk) 12:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
