User:Manning Bartlett

Let's see... I created the concept (and also coined the term).

I also created the original Page Titles to be deleted back in the days when we had no admins and only Tim Shell and Jimbo could actually delete pages from the database. This evolved into WP:AFD among other things.

I am also reliably informed that I created the first system for tracking/fighting vandalism. I really wish I had come up with a better name for the page, though.

I also created the original which LMS hated. (Since relocated to a user subpage of mine.)

One day when I'd just had enough of people complaining about the same old stuff, I coined the term Morto-equine percussionist.

I'm married to a Turkish girl, so I am interested in articles about Turkey. I lack expert knowledge, so I generally just try to copyedit.

For my own amusement, here are some articles I originally created (back in the days when you could actually do that) and relevant history records.

Here are my contributions from the days before we moved to the new platform. About 70-80% of the records appear lost, as there are none before September 2001 and none after Dec 14, 2001, and enormous gaps in between (check the history log for Scientific Method below and you'll see what I mean).

My old, hand-managed contribution page from Nostalgia

Sadly the history pages on Nostalgia are not as reliable as one might hope. I am not listed on Princess Diana yet I absolutely remember writing the original article. Conversely, this history log tells me that I was the first editor of Scientific Method which is simply NOT true. A recent discovery of a dump from August 2001 may improve this situation with old article history.

So... hello? Is that email you left at my page a couple **cough** years ago still valid? Was talking about you just today with someone. Were your ears burning? Anyway, if you're around, leave me a message, and I will drop you a line. exJHK
