The cow bull guards this page

Hey Bishonen. Forgive me, but I noticed you deleted all your userspace. Given the circumstances, I have to ask: are you leaving us? - Mtmelendez ^(Talk) 01:16, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Bishonen, your user talk space and User talk:Giano II doesn't qualify for deletion under right to vanish. Please undelete it, or I will request it be undeleted by other means. — Save_Us_229 01:25, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

It most certainly does, and I've seen it happen in the past. Do not undelete this talk page. If she wants to leave in peace, let her. It'll make a nice change from the harassment and nasty comments she's put up with. SirFozzie (talk) 02:02, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Harassment stops NOW!

Please do not harass anymore the editor routed away from Wikipedia by the IRC coordinated harrassment campaign. The only good thing that can happen is Bishonen deciding to return. Baiting and taunting like above by "Save_Us" is exactly the opposite. Take your lecturing on the RtV and other stuff elsewhere. There are still millions of user talk pages of other editors who wrote the Wikipedia content. They might take it better. --Irpen 02:06, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

When you delete a user talk page, you delete contributions by other people. A better solution is to blank and protect the talk page with a departure notice. Carcharoth (talk) 02:47, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I will email this suggestion to Bishonen. Hopefully, she did not abandon her email account. We will see what she decides, but there is no overwhelming need for an additional show of disrespect through reversing her last action wrt to her userspace. --Irpen 02:53, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

If people are leaving, they're allowed to delete their talk pages. Even people who haven't left are quite regularly deleting theirs. But that really isn't the issue at the moment. The issue is why Bishonen left and what can be done about it. SlimVirgin ^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:50, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Spot on! --Irpen 02:53, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I also agree with SlimVirgin on her last point. Newyorkbrad (talk) 04:55, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Me too. If there's even a five percent chance that Bishonen might come back, let's not reduce it to a four percent chance by making Wikipedia seem even less attractive. She has given a huge amount to the project. She's obviously upset. We'd love to have her back. There is no absolute necessity to have her page undeleted unless we value process for the sake of it over and above human beings. It seems in rather bad taste to start insisting on it immediately after she leaves, unless diffs are actually needed as evidence (and even then, it could be done more sensitively). Finally, let's consider this, although the second sentence certainly doesn't apply to Bishonen. ElinorD (talk) 14:59, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

<<< It is very disturbing to me to see Bishonen leaving. Is anything I can do have her back? I am sure I am not alone on this feeling. If you are reading this Bishonen, please email me. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 23:53, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Evidence

I'm sorry you removed your evidence. I thought it added important insight and context even without the log excerpt, which the Committee has received by email anyway. Thatcher 14:38, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Happy New Year

≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 02:36, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Ditto. Bish, hope you are feeling okay. You can delete my messages because they are not important. Stay strong in whatever path you choose to take. And, most importantly...DON'T LET WIKIPEDIA DRAMA RUIN YOUR HOLIDAYS! :-P miranda 10:31, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, hope you're well and having fun. WP should be about enjoying contributing. Be well assured that you're valued and your work is greatly appreciated. A semi-detached fan, dave souza, talk 17:15, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Refractored comment by Geogre

I just have one: if it's a "special place" that isn't Wikipedia, how can there be a Wikipedia policy about it? Does Wikipedia host policy pages about how SomethingAwful is to be run? By the way, I invited such comments before. There weren't any, so I figured it was fine to edit the page. I guess we were all supposed to read the silences... presumably by hearing a great deal on IRC. Geogre (talk) 14:30, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I'd start a petition...

but voting is evil. We love Bishonen. For values of "we" that includes just about everybody I give a toss about, as far as I know. Guy (Help!) 20:09, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I second that. Bishonen, if you decide to return, you'll make a lot of us very glad. Mike Christie (talk) 03:37, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Thirded. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 07:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I resent such a narrow limiting of "we"-values. Please refactor recalculate. sNkrSnee | ¿qué? 04:19, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

In light of Giano returning, perhaps we can plead with you enough to do the same, Ms. Bish??? We miss you and the 'Zilla --Tex 21:39, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I think Bishonen's absence has less to do with Tony Sidaway's anger management issues and more with the fact that she feels she was abused without receiving any support from her admin colleagues on the channel. While she is appreciative of the support given here, she seems to find it hard to be as forgiving as me of those who wish to attack me for my support of her. This is a very sad state of affairs and I hope too that one day she feels able to return and continue her tremendous work in both main and Wikipedia space. With luck her forthcoming 24 hours of much deserved fame [1] will remind her of how appreciated she is here. Giano (talk) 23:54, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I sign the petition 13:04, 5 January 2008 (UTC) also, I don't get what you have ever done to be called a b****** b**** from h***, I can think of some people who might fit that definition, but I've never known of you doing anything BBfH -like. Merkinsmum 13:04, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I know things got very rough, Bishonen. But remember that many of us "little people" admire and respect you. I hope you reconsider and come back. WBardwin (talk) 20:07, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations

The magisterial Swedish emigration to the United States is going to be on the main page! And Prince's palace at Monaco (I can never remember these long titles; I keep my articles to two words, if I can) by Giano is there, too. Geogre (talk) 13:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I hardly ever come to Wikipedia anymore. The amount of vandalism the Swedish article is getting is absolutely unbelievable. Not only is there the general school computer lab BS, but there are all sorts of fantastically stupid people who don't know what encyclopedias look like (cn) and can't imagine (cn) writing that doesn't have little numbers in front of it (10 Goto 20 20 Print cn 30 Goto 20 40 End) (cn). Geogre (talk) 19:24, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Well I think it is wonderful to see it being so vandalised my own humble <no don't contradict me! - sigh> offering was resolutely ignored by vandals last week, in fact I was beginning to wonder if Wikipedia was losing its popularity - it just goes to show the poor and starving (and frankly unattractive) always attract more attention than the "magnificent and educated" pages. Trust dear little Mrs. Bishonen to pick up on that and exploit it - no wonder she is the most famous and popular Wikipedian of all time - I just hope she does not attract resentment because of it - people can be very cruel towards the successful. Giano (talk) 19:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

All I know is that I spent over an hour cleaning up vandalism in the article last night, got a bunch of vandals blocked, and even had my own user and talk pages messed up. I think it is because of the word "Swedish." Two thirds of the folks logging into Wikipedia are young enough to have fond feelings toward the Swedish Chef. And of course, by definition, all Swedes are beautiful - if only all countries had such benefits for their citizens. I agree with Geogre, though, one would have hoped at least the few "real" Wikipedians would read the manual of style before asking for citations(cn). I posted a discussion of it on someone's user page last night, maybe it should be moved to the talk page of the article. Bishonen, lovely article, even if at various points it has had pictures of Al Jolson and discussed Swedes in Cuba and Jamaica. Risker (talk) 20:42, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm also getting lectured that the main page article should have removals and things, because it's part of... get this, because it's now part of the alphabet soup meant for hurling rather than reading... WP:BB. This same person said that protection isn't extended because the main page article is there for target practice for newbies. Harrumph. Geogre (talk) 20:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
