Question from BlueJ1286 (17:21, 9 October 2023)
The reason I am here was to introduce my business as a Wiki article to the Encyclopedia. I have lots of documentation to work from and have a general idea of where to go with help from my wiki home page but before I get started, why would it be a BAD idea to do write the article on my business? --BlueJ1286 (talk) 17:21, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
Goodbye forever
Thank you everyone for the great memories. I'm afraid it is my time to go, irl issues sadly will prevent me from editing in the future. I've had a great time on Wikipedia and ended with the same excitement I began with about sharing quality information for free in an easily accessible manner. As per my user page, if anyone wants to take up an article I worked on I would appreciate that. Do wait at least a few days, however, as it is possible I make it through. — Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Non nobis solum. 21:08, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

- Are you ok? If you want to talk off-wiki, just send me an email. I am always more than happy to help and to listen. - Bilby (talk) 21:23, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
- I do wish that you can make it through whatever lies ahead and come back. I wish you strength and courage, and much luck also. All the best, warshy (¥¥) 22:37, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
