Hello, MZMcBride,


An admin brought up this Redirect at a DRV discussion and I was going to tag it for a discussion at RFD. But looking at the page history, it looks like you don't object to this redirect which is either a joke or an insult, I can't tell. What's your opinion 15 years after removing the Delete tag? <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">] ]</sup> 01:39, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Yeah I'm cool about the deletion as it was pointless and quite hard to find, however two things:

== Excuse me ==

So I don't get to dscuss this. I do contribute to the encyclopedia. Look at my last 200 edits in the last 4 days. A secret page is low maintenance. I've had one person every other month at least. Do you have something horrible in life that makes you go round just to find a little bit of fun that never actually does any damage. ]]] 18:38, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

::Can you put your time to the encyclopedia. Talking about me not contributing. You are going round removing things that '''did nothing.'''. I'll re-iterate - '''did and does nothing'''. They've been around for years on end and I've found no problem. It's like a guestbook but does less. If guestbooks are aloud then why not something which is even easier to ignore by not going out of your way. If this is all you do '''''without''''' a fair trial then I should report you to the administration board. They aren't appropriate but not banned. No other person who gives up there time to something similar to you which actually contributes to WP have never had a problem. ]]] 18:48, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

== Secret pages ==

Hi, it's me. Why did you delete my six Secret Page pages? I thought Misplaced Pages had an unlimited amount of room, and I've seen many other users with multiple pages for others to search for to find their secret pages. And were you trying to mock everyone who had tried to find it? ]]] 22:16, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Liz. I imagine it's a bit of both a joke and an insult. Jclemens indicated they had some better targets in mind. A retarget or disambiguation page would be fine with me, as would simply leaving it alone. :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 17:33, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
I was mostly kidding. I don't think anyone I might nominate would enjoy the attention, so my comment is really a back-handed way of saying that you're almost certainly not hated as much as the redirect might imply. Jclemens (talk) 02:11, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
