Huw Powell,
Huw Powell, I(we) have thousands of things to do. I think your are aware that [[WikiIndex]] has no cyber judge function (at present). Would you be so kind as to give CP and other readers time to overthink your point of view. With the hope that my english is understandable. Regards --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 03:33, 10 July 2009 (EDT)

== "Stalking" ==


Hi Huw, regarding [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Nx&action=history 00:00, 11 September 2009 Huw Powell (Talk | contribs) (27 bytes) (Undid revision 71272 by Lumenos (stalk))]. You may notice that when you link to user page through a redirect from ("mainspace"?), it removes many of the "stalking" functions from the toolbox. I find all this whining about cyberstalking extremely ironic, given a prior conflict I do not wish to bring up. [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Lumeniki&diff=71156&oldid=71110 Nx added some links] to the [[Lumeniki]] article. I am for sourcing "comments" which may be biased or dubious. That is why I created the page. Apparently Dilley is opting to end this practice now (as I noted on your user page) so I have redirected the links. Your input on WikiIndex (or simply my own) "policy" on [[WikiIndex:Policies_and_Guidelines#Biographical_info|biographical info]], [[WikiIndex:Policies_and_Guidelines#Verifiability|verifiablity]], and notability (of the "see also" links in the [[Lumeniki]] article) is welcome, as always.
