Someone please remind me of why I volunteer free time helping keep this site clean. I've been getting raked over the damned coals by two users who are screaming because I deleted their articles...which had no text. Just taxoboxes. One now has (drum roll, please) a single sentence. More time has been spent on my talk page by these two than on the articles. I made myself a promise: Add at least one new article a week, clean up at least one article per day. Been doing exactly that; I've had two "Did You Know?" mentions in the past week. Anyway, just venting. Might take another brief wikivacation soon. Quietly and with no drama.  :) - Lucky 6.9 07:05, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, O Chimp. You are wise and I am just plain pooped. Pleased to say that one of the "taxoboxes" has returned as a nice short article. If I sign on tomorrow, I'll likely do some editing instead of NPP. 'Night! - Lucky 6.9 07:21, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, nice. Yes, we know we're doing our jobs when that happens! I look at it as a badge of honor, but you'd think the knuckle-dragging nimrod would have had the decency to spell my user name correctly! Thanks for watching my back. - Lucky 6.9 07:32, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Been meaning to do that...thanks for the tip! My pages look a little bit bland and that's a great way to stay off NPP. By the way, I just got another ration of you-know-what. Someone tagged it, I bagged it, I got screamed at by a user with three prior edits. Some fun! - Lucky 6.9 07:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was...? I must be losing my mind; I din't know I'd done any monobook edits beyond some I'd done at other wikis. Oy. - Lucky 6.9 07:45, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
