Removing infoboxes
I notice you removed the infoboxes of at least 6 articles. Please stop doing this, since it is clear and blatant vandalism. If there is a well-founded reason for doing this please discuss it with me before removing any more infoboxes. Otherwise I will have to block you from editing to prevent you doing further damage to the encyclopedia. You can contact me by leaving a message at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks, Gwernol 14:27, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a moment to reply on my talk page. Don't worry about the rat and garter thing, everyone gets one "moment of madness". As for the infoboxes, its probably not a good idea to go around making this sort of wholesale decision without talking with other editors first. The best way to do this is to leave messages on the talk page of the article(s) concerned. You can do this by clicking on the "discussion" tab and leaving a note there. In general there's consensus in the community that infoboxes are a good idea, so you probably won't have much luck getting people to agree to removing them, but for other issues you might.

Good luck, and feel free to contact me again if you have any questions.

By the way, I grew up in Hoddesdon, which is why I was watching that article. I take it you're from that part of the world? Best, Gwernol 14:38, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
