''Warning: [[Wikipedia:Spoiler warning|Wikipedia contains spoilers]]''

In the wikiworld, I'm nobody of consequence, which is quite nice. I'm also very much a newbie, so please, be nice, if at all possible. I don't respond well to brusque rudeness; if you take the time to [[User talk:Atorpen|say something]], then say it well.

This page is mostly for me to keep track of what I'm doing. If you want to have fun, go the [[Hades]] article and remove all the darned looping redirects with actual articles. [[Dispater]] is not Hades. Neither is [[Eubuleus]], or [[Pluto (god)]], really. Plus, looping redirects are just a really bad idea. See [[Wikipedia:redirect]]

'''Random thought of the day''': threatening to delete a page is the best way to ensure its survival. See [[maroon]], [[Cave painting]], and oh, just about anything.
