[WikiEN-l] Request to Wikipedians for BBC Documentary

[wjhonson at aol.com]

I'd start with you first!
I've had a hard spot in my black heart for you ever since you deleted 
my article on the "Varying Shapes of Pikachu's Ears from 1989 to 1993 
and Its Correlation to the Japanese Stock Market".

On a brighter note, I'm happy to report that I have *once again* made 
the news with my apparent wickedness.

Evidently my evil plans are finally gaining the international 
recognition they so richly deserve.

Will "Skeletor" Johnson

<sob>

You would delete all these articles I've created that no-one else has
edited? :-(
