What's wrong with "Hi, thanks for your stuff. It didn't belong here, so we put it there for you" rather than "Hi, you put stuff here that didn't belong here. Bad user. Find an admin that will email your stuff for you through a murky procedure, so you can put it there yourself"? _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
