Suggestion for Guy Thomas article

edit

You may have better luck starting this article in your own userspace so you have time to get it ready. User:Super lenton/Guy Thomas would be a good place to start. I'd also suggest skipping the commentary about hopeless administrators and just make the first edit a constructive one. If you've lost research, the deleting admin was Stifle, who is generally willing to provide copies of deleted articles when asked. --OnoremDil 13:17, 3 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'll transfer it to User:Super lenton/Guy Thomas. Stifle (talk) 14:07, 3 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Just on the matter of your message and edit summary at the deleted page, you did leave the page abandoned for five days before it was deleted. I don't think it's fair to refer to me as a "hopeless administrator". Stifle (talk) 14:19, 3 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
