Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as an attack or a negative unsourced biography of a living person, because... (your reason here)

This is becoming a Kafkaesque nightmare. It is just a bit of a whinge about the way Wikipedia is going, which I found myself writing on a talk page, but I didn't want to clutter up that page with it. I fail to understand how it could be construed as "an attack or a negative unsourced biography of a living person". It is now in my own name space, as I originally intended. Surely there is no rule against expressing an opinion about Wikipedia in one's own name space? So why is it still a candidate for speedy deletion? I don't understand this at all. What do you want from me? GrahamN (talk) 04:03, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * What did you expect to happen when you moved the entire page with the deletion tag to your userspace? It might be best just to copy your rant paragraph to a new user sub page (i.e User talk:GrahamN/MyRant) and let this one be deleted.


 * By the way, do you see the irony of your rant...

It's depressing that so often on Wikipedia you spot something simple that needs doing only to find that the power to do it is now a privilege granted only to administrators - the Wikipedia ruling class. By taking away normal people's ability to edit, out of fear that we may do damage, the Wikipedia aristocracy have also taken away our ability to revert other people's edits and repair damage...
 * ...and the fact that you did cause some (minor, temporary) damage by introducing your rant to the main article space of the encyclopedia?
 * Now we have to get the rouge admins involved!- MrX 04:24, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
