Extremely long page

[edit]

Hi Abyssal - you have a sub-page User:Abyssal/bla, which is exceedingly long - when I renamed a misidentified file at Commons which was in use on this page, it crashed my browser for several minutes trying to edit it. Do you still use and need the page? If not, could it be deleted? Or cut into 10 or 20 sub-pages of less extreme length? Thanks! - MPF (talk) 21:50, 18 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Old user page

[edit]

Hello, I've been checking out a list of user pages where the attached account has no edits; I've therefore just moved an old user page of yours to User:Abyssal/Userboxes. Hope you don't mind. It's a convoluted story how I got here, but see User talk:CSD U6 Bot#User:BabyGenderGenious/Sandbox1 for an outline. Graham87 (talk) 16:14, 25 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Thinking of working on eggs again

[edit]

I'm thinking of trying to get Dinosaur egg and/or Egg fossil to Good Article status. Are you interested in collaborating on that? Though as a disclaimer, I am quite a bit busier now that I have a full-time job, than I was ten years ago working on eggs more dilligently, so I might be a bit slow.
