I don't think she's interested in helping us, she just uses us to advertise herself.

I think I may have made a mistake and thought she edited the Welcome page telling people about herself. I've looked at recent changes again and I think I mixed her edits up with someone else as in fact someone else edited the Welcome Template responsibly just before she edited, sorry.

[[User: | [[User:]] is writing more and more about herself but [http://www.wikiindex.org/Special:Contributions/hasn't made a useful contribution]. I see now [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Welcome&diff=prev&oldid=53873 she did edit the welcome template] with one of her accounts so I think a block was fair. She hasn't repeated it but since I know now that she did spam the welcome template I've put warnings onto the talk pages of both her accounts so any administrator who deals with her can see she's been warned.

[[ | [[Use] now claims that she's new to this site and doesn't understand how to use it. I don't know if she's telling the truth and really mistook us for a social networking site or if she's playing sophisticated games and pretending she's been hurt. [[User:Elassint]] put a message up with large letters saying, '''"Please note that we are an index of wiki, wiki people and wiki ideas, contributions outside of that scope may be treated as test edits and be removed."''' and she can't have edited any page without the chance to see that message. Well sometimes people do overlook the obvious. [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=User_talkoldid=66842 I've apologized and explained what we're for].
