What to do with the page

I’m nipping this attempt at stirring up drama in the bud. If it’s been 5 years since the last discussion, why do you think it is controversial? Seems like that’s the definition of “settled”. Deeply unimpressed with this attempt to stir things up. I don’t say this often, because I’m not productive or anything, but … go find something useful to do.

It has been more than five years after the last time this was discussed, but the question is: what to do with the user page itself. Pages with tags are often blanked, but why not this page not blanked. I'm just saying here that since this page is controversial. I've just read the talk page messages but I would like to see the community's reconfirmation. ToadetteEdit (talk) 14:18, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The user page shows great contributions as it should be. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:50, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thinking of you, no wildflowers (for you wife) this time but roses I saw with friends last year. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:05, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for Trafford Park, introduced (in 2010) as about "an industrial estate. But not any old industrial estate; this was the first in the world and is still the largest in Europe. Once the ancestral home of one of the oldest aristocratic families in England, this former deer park became one of the most important engineering complexes in Britain. Unusually for an industrial estate it also included a self-contained residential area for workers' accommodation, with shops, churches, a cinema, police station, school, post office ... Like much of Britain's manufacturing base it went into decline during the 1960s and '70s, but it was regenerated in the '80s, and now contains some quite extraordinary architecture, such as the Daniel Libeskind designed Imperial War Museum North. It's a large subject to cover, and I hope you feel that we've done it justice."! - And now wildflowers, in abundance. --
