[edit] Congratulations on losing your credibility.
Some idiot named Ceri has just erased about three years' worth of collected quotes from users regarding the soccer announcer Ray Hudson. They were removed from Wikipedia and put into Wikiquote. They are now lost forever.
Idiots and self-sanctimonious navel-gazers without Actual Work In Their Offices need never have their door darkened by anyone looking for correct information again. —This unsigned comment is by 144.171.142.126 (talk • contribs) 19:46, 13 May 2009 (UTC).
- Can you be more specific? What page are you talking about? Cirt (talk) 19:47, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- I believe 144.171.142.126 means the "Ray Hudson" article, which was deleted because it did not cite any sources. It may be noted that the quotes are not "lost forever" if there are reliable sources somewhere from which they could be quoted. If not, we would lose our credibility by keeping things with no verifiable sources. ~ Ningauble 21:18, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Interwiki links showing as red links
Why are interwiki links showing as redlinks at top of this page? -- Cirt (talk) 19:37, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- I can't find anything a user did to cause this. Something in the software or the servers is busted. Possibly the developers are fooling around with the new system for a centralized interwiki database that has been discussed lately, treating Wikiquote, as they sometimes do, as if it were a sandbox. If it does't clear up soon I will investigate at Bugzilla. ~ Ningauble 19:54, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
