What? No mention about my WP:1AM essay? I thought I made it clear that it's all about me. I think I need to write an essay about the unfairness of it all... (smile) --Guy Macon (talk) 15:20, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, go ahead and add it to the above list. I like your essay. Best Regards, Barbara ✐ ✉ 12:32, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Feel free to edit my description (and be sure to follow the ^{[Citation Needed]} link... :) --Guy Macon (talk) 14:46, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good for you. The Signpost Humour article is an article anyone can edit boldly. You made it better. Best Regards, Barbara ✐ ✉ 14:13, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, WP:1AM is misleading, I'd expect it to be about editing pages at 1 in the morning (as a quote I found somewhere read "At three in the morning I looked at my clock and thought, "What on earth have I been doing for four hours?!" I looked at my screen. ' Plot summaries of Power Rangers episodes ' next to a tab named 'Japanese history textbook controversies'. Dang Wikipedia!"). But good to see someone finding some funny essays - the only one that came to my mind was Wikipedia:No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spider-Man. igordebraga ≠ 23:41, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wow - It was hard to stop laughing after I read this even though it was 2:54am. Barbara ✐ ✉ 06:55, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It also has the best redirect: Wikipedia:Oh I say, what are you doing? Come down from there at once! Really, you're making a frightful exhibition of yourself.] --Guy Macon (talk) 08:32, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Still laughing. Barbara ✐ ✉

And I was reading this page at 1:03am, wondering why the page name is time-synced with my computer. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 05:04, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You'll have to forgive my tardiness; I've been mostly off-Wiki recently providing palliative care for an old friend, and haven't really recovered yet. Thanks for including my hierarchy of editor subservience, Barbara, and for the kind words. I also started writing an essay not so long ago in order to vent some of my internal pressure, which other editors have since added to: Wikipedia:Butterfly effect. If you or anyone else would like to help expand it, please do. I could do with a good chuckle. Regards, nagualdesign 00:49, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Barbara (WVS): Thank you for providing this public service. WP:SOLUTIONS is a lifesaver on AfC patrol. pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 00:01, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
