Wikipediocy

Here's an example of the kind of idiotic statements we like to make at Wikipedia: "Grace Williams left no autobiography." For some dumb reason, we expect all composers to write autobiographies! Anyway, just so no one accuses me of biting the newcomers, now follows a canned welcome message. James470 (talk) 03:03, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your deletion suggestions

I was going to go with Mary Ellen Childs next, but since she's a woman I think I'm going to leave her for last. I'm moving on to McKinley, but I'll get to the others in due time. Incarnatus (talk) 20:56, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Despite any sardonic attempts to twist my words or intent, I have no interest in your deletion agenda. Instead, I'll continue to follow Wikipedia's suggestions for alternatives to deletion. Scot Johnston (talk) 15:33, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again for your tireless commitment in defending Wikipedia against non-notable composer cruft. I have finally gotten around to nominating Mary Ellen Childs for deletion. Just a few minutes ago, Detroit Joe created an article about Christopher Skebo (who? exactly.) and it was speedily deleted within minutes. The system works!

Your sarcasm speaks for itself here. As anyone who looks can see, I have only defended several articles from the reckless and irresponsible agendas of haphazard deletionists, and will continue to do so. Scot Johnston (talk) 19:15, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you know, Jubileeclipman's been off-wiki since last year, so he won't be able to comment on your AFD. Bramble claw x 19:56, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!
