Mr Wales goes courting investors and playing with other big web entrepreneurs. Pardon my being a hypocrit, but you could have more respect. No insult intended, but once again, I am surprised at you. A F K When Needed 10:52, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

 * "hobnobbing"? hmm, "socialising" sounds good. -- ◄mendel► 12:50, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Umm... I do presume you know about the ending and that I don't have to comment on that, right? A F K When Needed 11:08, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I don't; in fact, that is already a rewrite because I've been having difficulties with it (to express why I am writing this at all). It used to be: Congratulations, Wikia, you just got free consulting. Use it wisely. I'll be off being bitter reflecting on you getting paid to run wikis like this while I don't even get recognition from you. -- ◄mendel► 12:50, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * aha
 * Now excuse me while I go off being bitter about giving Wikia free consulting without recognition or pay, while y'all think me a whiney troll. - frankly childish, perhaps the best you can do tolerate I know it might be the best of a list of bad options, but you still come across as being immature which obviously weakens the point of the whole page as people pick up on it and take you less seriously as a result.
 * Have a nice day! - Nice thought 'n' all but it's so clearly dripping in sarcasm (if you're confused, read the previous sentence) that you're wasting your time and just increasing the amount of oh look, a kidz moanin' on da intrawebz you'll inspire in your readers.
 * imo better to work on it more and sound like... you normally do... in which case you'll be taken seriously and given the same fearsome amount of respect due in no small part to your unfailing logic
 * as it is the ending kind of ruins it, you're letting your attitude drag down the whole thing, and while you have good ideas in the page, they're lost to your bitterness
 * If you can't think of a good closing, let it be incomplete (just cut the last paragraph off) 't's the lesser of two evils A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 17:34, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Feh, I tried to be self-ironic so as to end on a "lol" instead of an "awww", but apparently it's not working. Sigh. "fearsome amount of respect due in no small part to your unfailing logic" -- butter me up much? ;-) -- ◄mendel► 21:37, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I might move it to my edit summary. -- ◄mendel► 21:38, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * btw, five points for hobnobbing if it was intended A_F_K_sig_2.jpg A F K When Needed 17:38, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Kudos to Balistic, I didn't know fullurl: works well with interwiki links. -- ◄mendel► 21:37, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't either, I just found out after trying here. &mdash; Balistic

grammar/spelling
(and, incidentally, to expect those editors to also main this one). Uh, what word is supposed to be there instead of "main"? --JonTheMon 14:04, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Good catch: "maintain". -- ◄mendel► 21:32, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
