Leaving Wikipedia edit

After been unfairly blocked for 72 hours, and unsuccessfully contesting the block four times, I have decided to abandon Wikipedia. If this is the way they reward valuable contributors, then I don't want to be here. ☆ CieloEstrellado 02:10, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Good, then maybe you won't be constantly changing election templates and refusing to talk about it with others. --Petrovic-Njegos (talk) 16:57, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Oh he'll probably just sign up with another account and keep vandalizing. Be sure to look for him on Wikipedia Scanner etc.24.155.205.244 (talk) 18:54, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
I think it speaks volumes that you had to use an anonymous IP to issue that personal attack. ☆ CieloEstrellado 19:18, 16 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
I thought you left.--Petrovic-Njegos (talk) 18:02, 18 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Nah. I think I'm gonna stick around just to edit election templates now. What do you think? ☆ CieloEstrellado 05:47, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:National Renewal edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mhiji (talk) 14:37, 30 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of File:OALD widget screenshot tmp.png edit

 

The file File:OALD widget screenshot tmp.png has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the file should explain why.
