::Please don't take my recent tagging of the discon article as a personal attack on you. I dislike putting a delete tag on an article that someone has made clear they're editing by using the inuse tag. As the creator of the inuse template on this wiki, I generally stay well away from any page that employs that tag. | ::Please don't take my recent tagging of the discon article as a personal attack on you.

However, as I made clear on the talk page of your article, this idea had already been floated and deleted by admins (as Mini-mitch confirms, above). The entire underlying concept of the article is flawed, and no amount of work will improve it. I'm honestly just trying to save you wasting your time. As you make clear in your last revision, you intend for it to be a "semi-discussion page". Well, that sort of thing doesn't belong at all within the main article space. That's the explicit point of removing the discon sections from articles, in the first place. Why would we go through all the work of removing all this stuff from over 200 pages just to have it recreated elsewhere in the main article space? The article is a fine idea for a thread at [[Forum:The Howling]], but it has no business in the main, '''encyclopedic''' area of the wiki. Again, I mean you no personal offense, but am merely trying to ensure that things go in the appropriate places. Please also see [[Forum:Discontinuity revisited]].
