::By the way, while I certainly remember Markman, he wasn't a watershed event in my career at CP. That would have to have been the late Terry Koeckritz, who deleted a nice mathematical article (not written by me) just to "win" an argument. I took the mathematics material I had been working on over to Wikiversity, and still haven't brought it back. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] ([[User talk:SamHB|talk]]) 00:28, 18 May 2016 (EDT)

I remember darling Terry. Them's were the days.
:Markman decided to hit every citeless article of mine with the citeless tag. Technically he was right to do so. He spent a day or two [[guddle|guddling]] through my edits. It would have taken me at least ten times that amount of time to honestly reference each and every article. So I cheated (only a little, because I had used certain reference books for dates, spelling and other things in my articles) and thought that would be that. Enter Karajou. He wanted page, book, publisher, the lot. University grade citations for ten line stubs.
:In the middle of all this Ameriwiki arrived, then suddenly went. For some of this time I was in and out of hospital.
::Anyway...
::Back then some time I mentioned "fool that I am" and you managed to identify John Bunyan.
::Going from the sublime to the ridiculous, the other day I quoted Cole Porter - Can Can - the song: ''It was just one of those things'' ''If we'd '''thought a bit of the end of it''' when we started painting the town we'd have been aware that our love affair was too hot not to cool down''.
