I moved Romance (novel) to your user page, once you've read the above links I guess you'll see why :-) Just zis Guy you know? 19:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Greetings! For some reason, your User talk page was a redirect to Joseph Conrad Romance. Given that your user talk page is intended as a place where other users can reach you, having it as a redirect to an actual article is a slight problem as other users will then unintentionally post personal messages to you on an article talk page by mistake. I've moved the content from Talk:Joseph Conrad Romance to your user talk page where it was originally intended to be posted and removed it from the Joseph Conrad talk page. I've also removed the redirect from your User Page. Your user page is intended as a place you can write a little about yourself, editing philosophy, etc. so other Wikipedia users can get to know you. Hope this helps you out. If you need any help, contact me on my Talk page.

Oh, and as a side note. From experience, I've found that it's generally considered bad form and a little rude to make more than cosmetic changes (formatting changes for talk page clarity or adding a signature when they forgot to put one, etc.) to other people's comments on talk pages. Making parenthetical remarks amongst their words about spelling errors and such fits into this. --Lendorien 18:08, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
