Fplay, is that you? If yes, you better be really nice to Zoe, and humbly ask to be unblocked at WP:AN/I.

If you are not Fplay, or either way, please do use an edit summary when you contribute. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 20:50, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

No, I am definitely not Fplay. I just thought I would make my work on the categories more poetic and relevant by using a thematic alter ego. That's allowed, isn't it? Categorically speaking 20:58, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

have a welcome template :)

Oleg must have got you confused with someone else somehow. and yeah, your name's fine/good. ignore that above i guess :)

Just so ya know, those black links you've been removing, aren't dead links, but self-references. It's part of the common style on wikipedia to retain self-links in templates, but make them black, so that the template layout doesnt jump up and down as the links change depending on the page. eg template:style. Click on a link, and you'll go the page, where the template will be displayed, but with the self-link in black, to avoid confusion. Make sense?

(however, that whole line shouldve been a template anyway, and your edits will help alert the maintainers of those pages to that fact, so ya did a different kind of good by accident! ;) --Quiddity 06:53, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
