[edit] Archive

Hi,

I adjusted your arching bot - the way you had it set up, you'd have one archive that would be huge. Part of the reason for having separate archives is that really large pages are slow to load for users on slower connections. I've also added a link to your archive so you and others can access it more easily than searching or plugging it into the url bar.

Oh, let me add a big "I think", Miszabot is sometimes beyond my understanding. It should kick in shortly, but it will almost certainly wipe out everything except this section. WLU (talk) 15:46, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User page

Hi,

Note that I've moved the contents of your user page per WP:UP#NOT no. 6, but not really. I don't think you're spamming, I think you're drafting a page, but placing the page on a sub-page is a better choice - user pages are used by other editors to get a sense of who you are; having a draft article instead can be confusing for noobs. I've replaced the contents of your page to just before you put in the draft, and added a link to User:Hammerfist/Sandbox, which is where I put your draft (actually moved it, which is a little different but not enough to really matter.

I've also replied on my talk page and am trying to get Miszabot to kick in by starting your archive. WLU (talk) 09:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
