How was that vandalism? Channel R, why are you deleting my page? (Michaelhope)


 * I'm not the one who did the actual deleting, but I did tag it for deletion. The article contained nothing but fiction (or to put it more bluntly, misinformation) and that is not allowed. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so it only deals with facts. Nothing personal, but your short story simply didn't belong here. Channel &reg;   00:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

How would you know its a story? Would you like me to cut out some things? (Michaelhope)


 * Give me some credit, please. The article is (or rather, was) very obviously a completely fictional and unrealistic 'biography'. Let's not play games, okay? Channel &reg;   00:13, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I give you credit, but you are mistaken. Is this what you do with everybody? If I cant put up a simple biography about someone, then im done with wikipedia. (Michaelhope)


 * See this page regarding appropriate biographies for this encyclopedia. -- Zim Zala Bim talk  00:34, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks ZimZalaBim. (Michaelhope)
