Re:Wikipedia email

Hi,

If you have read my email, just ignore it. I'd found out that I had made a mistake, because I was able to find you on the database. Thanks for emailing me, and again, for making the charts. :)

And just in case you have read this before the email: My status at Wikipedia leans towards more of inactivity, more so because I am considering retirement. Although I am not ready to retire completely, I'll probably be working on wiki gnome-related tasks. I apologize for not being able to commit to more.

Here's the WP that I was referring to earlier (because the active members will be more than willing to help out):

If you are interested, feel free to join WikiProject Middle-earth, a WikiProject focused on improving Tolkien-related articles in Wikipedia. We would be glad to have you join in the effort! Here're some good links and subpages related to the WikiProject.

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask on our talk page. Thank you for your contributions and have fun editing! —Mirlen 02:11, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
