I sent the message below to the list yesterday, trying to learn if I have any jurisdiction (morally, and by courtesy--I know I haven't legally) over a page in my userspace, namely the ETPH article that has been discussed such a lot on this this list. After all, it's name isn't "European toilet paper holder", it's "User:Bishonen/European toilet paper holder".
I'm disappointed that none of the experienced wikipedians reading this list has addressed my question, but I suppose it was a difficult one. Anybody? See, if the community goes with Jimbo's 1 April Lame-O-Rama" suggestion, I really would like to be able to stop ETPH from being used for it. Input so far on "User talk:Bishonen/European toilet paper holder" shows that other contributors feel the same way.
So, again: anybody? Can/will my userpage be from my userspace untimely ripp'd and used in a way I protest against? Or not? What do you think? Should I hurry up and try to get it speedied?

Just for fun, why don't we have a game on Friday to create an alternative main page, linked from the main page? "Click here to see our April Fool's Page."
I think that is a great idea. :)

I think it's a really lame idea. :-( I just joined the mailing list, I
hope I'm doing this right. May I ask a question? > Do I get any say in whether or not [[User:Bishonen/European toilet paper holder]] is moved out of my
userspace into the article namespace for April 1?
