Why did you delete my page?
I probably didn't delete the page you were after. I probably deleted a broken redirect or an orphaned talk page. But I do very few actual content deletions. So usually the answer to this question is, "go bother Admin X."

What the fuck does this "csd r1" gibberish mean?
I know, right? I'll break it down for you: So in this case, the page was deleted because it was a broken redirect. (This particular criterion has now been merged with CSD G8.)
 * "csd" refers to "Criteria for speedy deletion."
 * The "r" part refers to the "Redirects" section.
 * The "1" part refers to the first criterion listed under the "Redirects" section.

It is very likely that the target page was deleted by somebody else.

Why don't you use links in your goddamned deletion summaries?
I used to not use links because it was easier to type and I didn't feel like wasting more space than was absolutely necessary. Nowadays most (if not all) of my deletions include a link.

What the hell is "housekeeping"?
Pages that don't need to be lying around. Usually test pages or pages with just on them or blanked spam. If you're really curious about what was on the page, try Requests for adminship or something.

You're a bastard.
Well, that's not a question. But I'm well aware.
