User talk:Theda

Thanks
We handle such "articles" by [ speedily deleting] them. --Pi zero (talk) 06:02, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I assumed that was the case since spam is a persistent problem across the board. I had never edited here before and had no idea how to list it for deletion or who to ask. Thanks.--Theda (talk) 17:23, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh. The template you'd want is delete.  --Pi zero (talk) 18:54, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you and happy holidays if you celebrate.--Theda (talk) 05:41, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
 * And to you. --Pi zero (talk) 01:17, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I saw on your page that you have a page on the English Wikipedia. I put your page on my watch list there if you don't mind.--Theda (talk) 05:02, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I've gotten pretty heavily acclimated to Wikinews, where user talk pages can turn without warning into nearly honorary water coolers &mdash; it's a small project, after all.


 * I'm not very active on en.wp lately, partly because en.wn (and a touch of en.wb) takes up so much of my wmf time, but also in the aftermath of an incident here a few months ago with some Wikipedians (most of them trolls, to be honest). Which left an unfinished, strained discussion thread on my en.wp user talk page that I haven't had time to deal with, and that largely spoils my former enjoyment of work on en.wp.  I used to think en.wn had more difficult social-interaction problems than en.wp; now I've concluded they aren't more difficult, they're just different.  --Pi zero (talk) 14:02, 26 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Been there 5 yrs nearly 6 and it has changed very much since I was a newbie. I don't edit very often anymore more due to time constraints with real life. Trolls have always been there and every where else on the internet. I've found one of the best ways to deal with it is just to ignore it or file a complaint, nothing stops you just removing it from your talk either. The most pernicious of them are persistent though. I'm not at all experienced with WIKINEWS but, don't doubt that there are as many trolls here as there and I prefer to deal with vandals any day.
