wikibreak
Pdfpdf is on an extended wikibreak, and could probably be considered to be "semi retired".

However, he will be notified via email of any edits you make to this page, and will eventually respond to them (if a response is necessary).

He retired from full-time work in 2018, and after a concerted 6 month spurt of feverish activity on Wikipedia, decided to get a life.

(Don't you love it when people talk about themselves in the third person? Not?)

He fondly remembers his (surprisingly) many wiki-friends, and thanks them for their support!

Image source problem with File:TDUblonde1.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:TDUblonde1.jpg.
 * - I uploaded it 14.5 years ago!

This image is a derivative work, ... While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, ... so the overall copyright status is unclear. Thank you. Minorax(talk) 12:59, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Errr. It does state who. (Please get your facts straight before you start throwing stones.) Errr. No it isn't unclear. Pdfpdf (talk) 13:42, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

BTW: It hasn't been a problem for 14.5 years. Why is is suddenly an URGENT problem now? Pdfpdf (talk) 13:26, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

== Speedy deletion nomination of Deadlink ==

Hello, Pdfpdf

Welcome to Wikipedia!

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged an article that you started, Deadlink, for deletion because it seems to be incoherent gibberish. If you want to practice editing-skills, please use the sandbox.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with. And, don't forget to sign your reply with. Thanks!

 * , the edit in question was the creation of a redirect on 26 August 2009, which was valid at the time, with the target page itself subsequently being redirected. I take it that this inappropriate notice was apparently autogenerated by the Page Curation tool which was triggered by your use of the "speedy deletion-nonsense" criterion, rather than by you placing it here. I note that your nomination for deletion of the redirect was later reverted, as discussed on your talk page, but without any deletion of the message on this very experienced editor's talk page. This makes it a bit difficult for uninvolved editors to follow what has gone on, so I've struck it out. Bahudhara (talk) 05:11, 29 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks mate! :) Pdfpdf (talk) 13:29, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

It's been a long time
Hi Pdfpdf, it's been nearly four years since the last Adelaide meetup! Would you be interested in taking part, if one is organised some time in the New Year? Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 05:20, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Invitation to join the Fifteen Year Society
Dear Pdfpdf,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more.

Best regards, Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 21:52, 29 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks mate. I don't think I qualify as a "participating editor" these days :).
 * P.S. Congratulations on the FRSA!! Pdfpdf (talk) 13:50, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
