Hi Goffwrecker - Please see the discussion page for Kurt Cobain Was Lactose Intolerant Conspiracy Zine.InvisibleFriend 15:02, 6 June 2007 (EDT)
Meet up?
Hey there! I saw your note on your userpage about having an online meetup/editing sesh. That sounds fun! I think you are 8 hours ahead of me time-wise so that might make it a little tricky, but I bet we could work it out. -MaterialSquirrel (talk) 18:36, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hiya yes Im in the UK so BST/UTC+1 ! We could do a doodle to see what times cross over and see if anyone else wants to come/or just have a little chat/edit ! Goffwrecker (talk) 18:39, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Sounds good! Are you aware of any other active users right now that might be interested? MaterialSquirrel (talk) 15:44, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- There was one other keen person about a year ago we did a meet up once! I can ask them. Also the Zines & GLAM Discord there was a thread with some curious folk / occasional editors - think they'd maybe come or come to a second one if we had an initial chat.

- Sounds good. I'll keep an eye on your talk page, or if you'd rather continue through email, you should be able to reach me through the "Email this user" link from my userpage. MaterialSquirrel (talk) 16:36, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Spam users
Isn't there a setting in media wiki to require new users to be accepted by hand by a mod before they can publish? That would stop the influx of spam and actually new users can easily wait a day or two for writing privilege.
