Missing you edit

It's been six months! I miss you. Hope you will come back... --RelHistBuff (talk) 21:49, 31 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I poked around in your sandboxes several weeks ago. You always amazed me. I wrote this long weepy missive but didn't post it. Saying I miss you and we're worse off without you is laughably inadequate. --Moni3 (talk) 22:00, 31 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Willow, I always thought of you as our Nicolas Bourbaki, because no single person could teach so much to so many. What you built was wonderful. Thank you. --Arcadian (talk) 22:26, 31 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I miss you deeply Willow; I simply hope you are well and happy. Editors continue to find much inspiration in your contributions, your user subpages, your enduring spirit, and there are so many riches there to find. Your impact has been profound, and it would be beautiful if you returned. If you cannot, Wikipedia has still been blessed. Geometry guy 22:32, 31 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I miss you too. Come back! You're our only hope, Obi-Wan. Scartol • Tok 18:53, 7 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

I hope your garden is blooming beautifully. We miss you here! Awadewit (talk) 04:55, 5 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please come back! edit

Please come back to Wikipedia. Many editors here miss you, and the Wikipedia project is worse for your absence. Hope you are well. Warmly, Steve Finell (Talk) 01:01, 13 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

One year edit

 
I wanted to find an image of a beacon at night, so this kind of fills that. Plus, it's very pretty.

It has been one year since your last edit. I have not forgotten about you. I wish you would return, so here is a beacon to light your way back. I miss you. Being nice is very hard sometimes and I fail. If only to help me from using profanity, please consider returning. --Moni3 (talk) 23:00, 30 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yeah. I say we keep flooding this talk page until she finally comes back if only to write: "Leave me alone with your pathetic grovelling!" Scartol • Tok 19:03, 6 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
Just saw your user page, Scartol, and all your reasons for working on all that stuff. Two crimes on Wikipedia that should be remedied. Jane Addams, by me in a few weeks, and Harriet Beecher Stowe in the future at some point. Have you ever heard of this, for example, (which I posted 2 days ago)? Criminal, I say! Wanna help with all your free time? --Moni3 (talk) 19:21, 6 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

I still miss you... edit

 

... and I'm lost for words in remembering your amazing contributions to and influence on this place. You add light wherever you are, and I hope you are well. Geometry guy 23:09, 30 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Meeeee tooooo! Finell (Talk) 23:27, 30 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Merry Christmas, Willow! edit

I miss you. --Moni3 (talk) 15:51, 24 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Sedimentation edit

Hi there WillowW. I was looking at sedimentation, and it looks like that while the article you started was more chemistry-related, it's become convolved with geology. Would you think that a split of these into two separate articles would be a good idea? Thanks, Awickert (talk) 07:29, 26 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Happy New Year! edit

  A noiseless patient spider,
I mark'd where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark'd how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launch'd forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form'd, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul."

—"A Noiseless Patient Spider" by Walt Whitman
