Hi Tantek,

I've returned two of your pages to their correct location on MozillaWiki, in the User: namespace. This makes it clearer to users that the page(s) concerned are primarily (or solely) managed and maintained by one person. In the vase of your projects page ("Hi, I'm Tantek Çelik, and you've found my list ...") you even make this explicit. Pages in all namespaces are searchable at all times, but by keeping user pages in the user namespace it is a better way to manage the wiki's content. --AlisonW (talk) 12:06, 7 October 2013 (PDT)

Re "is it so much to ask you to look at who created the page" the answer, actually, is yes. When checking the status of individual pages then yes, the content and the creator are easily checked. When going through the very substantial volume of spam this wiki receives inspecting individual pages would just take way too long. Instead up to 500 pages at a time are listed alongside checkboxes. I (or others) look at the titles of those pages to see which are rare "real" content pages and which are (more often) spam. Usually the page title is clear enough to tell the difference, but when it isn't I look at the page itself. Thing is, occasionally, a click might get missed without being noticed and a page temporarily deleted. Hope that clarifies things. --AlisonW (talk) 12:52, 13 February 2014 (PST)
