'''I need more time!'''
'''I need more time!'''
==September 2008 Contributions==
Yesterday early afternoon, my time, I couldn’t get on to CP to edit. It seems us peasants were locked out for some reason. So instead of doing the editing I had intended I decided to catch up on something I have been meaning to do since I read PJR’s “essay” on aSK – that is, list and wikify the contributions for the month or so before Andrew Schafly found my work so “unimpressive”. I probably would have stuck them here without comment except for the fact than when Guarddog’s block was reverted by Andy “yesterday” he said Guarddog was only possibly wrong – that after getting on towards 100,000 words of major substantive edits it seems I am still looked upon as a “possible” threat to this site - vandal (I note also that in early October, with over 30,000 words of new info already done, I was called a “stranger”.)
:The original request for night editing rights - made purely for the good of the site; something that seemed not to occur to Andy - has disappeared. (Of course.) I do have it on Word document however and can resubmit it.
That said, I will now get about trying to remember what it was I was going to edit yesterday. A reply from Mr. Schafly would be appreciated.

==January Contributions==
As usual, the following are almost entirely new entries, mostly brought about by the need to put life into red links engendered by my previous articles. It just goes on and on.
Not including Talk Pages, Category changes, minor amendments and the like, I did up to about 12,000 words this month. I was fortunate in that I had saved the word documents in which I compose my articles, so I was able to replace those lost in “The Great Crash” with only a few hours work. My heart goes out to those of you who lost the fruits of their time and efforts during that week.

==February Contributions==
Not as much new information this month for one reason or another….
[[:Category: Composers]]: - [[John Ireland]] (430)
Various musical categories: - [[Chanson]] (280) – [[Melodie]] (170) – [[Impromptu]] (110) – [[Partita]] (150) – [[Capriccio]] (120) – [[Glockenspiel]] (100) – [[Fantasia]] (450) – [[Rhapsody]] – [[Horatius Bonar]] (270) – [[Plainchant]] (130) – [[Prelude]] (330) and of course the song (hymn, anthem – it is any or all of those) additions to [[And Did those Feet]] (What larks, Pip old chap!)
[[:Category: Sailing Ship Types]] – [[Lateen]] (250) – [[Spanker]] (50) – [[Dhow]] (410) –[[Junk]] (410)
[[:Category: Ships]] - [[Pentekonter]] (70).
[[:Category: Explorers]] – [[Willem Cornelisz Schouten]] (200)
[[:Category: Civilizations]] [[Indus Valley Civilization]] (1000+)
[[:Category: Dictionary]] [[Guddle]] (170) Love that word!
A few red links turned blue eg [[Burwash]], [[Tees-Exe line]] and the abovementioned Pentekonter. (Which reminds me – why do people decide to add red links to an article then wander off without making any effort to actually turn those links blue?)
I have enlivened or created many scores of links, (nearly all Blue! - but give me time.), made a few dozen minor changes and/or small additions to articles, reverted a number of vandalisms, opened redirects, done defaultsorts, added or changed many categories, attempted a few times to maintain historical accuracy (to very little avail – it seems I have a closed mind, am an atheist, and know nothing at all about history!)
I spend days thinking about leaving. I probably won’t – what I wrote in my opening spiel above still applies – but it would not take much of a push.

Miscellaneous: [[Kingdom of Kush]] 230 – [[Kushan Empire]] 190 – [[Virtuoso]] 210
There have been the usual fixing of links, categories and sorts, minor additions and amendments, some talk, talk, talk (positive I hope) Nearly all the above articles were to remove red links. One thing seems to lead to another.
The above amount of work, about 40 substantive edits totalling about 10,000 words of new information, is less than September’s additions to the site, which, it seems, were considered “unimpressive” by the owner. He didn’t tell me that of course.

==Goodbye==
Goodbye to all those who have helped or been understanding during my stay. You know who you are. I would say "Godspeed" but that word has been so wrongfully used here, that instead I will just say Take Care and Be Well. Alan Evans [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 23:36, 18 April 2009 (EDT)
