Just one minor point - I didnt say he became famous, I said he became notorious. There is a difference. Megan1967 12:06, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Libby Lenton

Hi there. I have fixed up the article - there was nothing wrong with it, except that a anon kid went and deleted everything and put two meaningless sentences there, and nobody figured to look in the edit history and see what was wrong.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 00:21, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it was, but I've added about 60 bios and expanded Thorpe, Hackett, Jones, Mills, err - I'm a pedant and keep a log at User:Blnguyen/AusSport. Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 01:11, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PikiPiki

Proposed deletion of PikiPiki

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article PikiPiki, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non-notable software; development ceased on 2000-Feb-17; article mentions no references

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. -- Regretfully, Dandv (talk) 05:40, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
