Talkback

Hello, Gregj84. You have new messages at Malik Shabazz's talk page.
Message added 03:41, 30 August 2012 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

(I'm not sure if I'm using this talkback system properly--but here goes nothing.)

Malik, That would be great if you could restore the page. And I can understand why you might not see the value of a page that is essentially just a list. I made the list because I'm from the Fu family, and I was interested in having a list of my own, and thought wikipedia would be a good place to store the information, since I thought others might find it interesting and want to contribute as well. Of course, it's not unusual to find a page that is a list of people with the same surname (E.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_with_surname_Jones , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_with_surname_Brown ) But perhaps, the page would be better as "List of people with surname Fu" instead of just "Fu (surname). Either way is fine with me. Thanks again. Gregj84 (talk) 03:59, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
