			== Page deletion ==
			I had to delete a page just now -- it contained only a very suspicious hyperlink, which was created by someone knowledgeable about wikis. The page had no connections inside Wikidelphia.

			The reason I gave was that anyone who knew enough about wikis to create a page like that also knew enough not to create a page like that. [[User:Shollingsworth\|SteveH]] 23:00, 24 January 2011 (EST)
