| Thank you for removing the 13th photo. To make room for the new arrival, I was looking to remove one of the least popular already there, but don't know how to check for hits separately from those of the whole article.

| :Hello Mr. Hertz, nice to hear from you. Well, let me try to address both points you made. The 1st one is simple. You click on the photo, then click on the "description page", which will take you to its commons page. Then you click on history, then page views. First it gives you the hits in commons only. That number is important, because it is the number of times the general public has clicked on the photo in commons to find a twilight photo for their website or whatever. Any photo in commons with over 50 hits a month is pretty high. Then you have the option to pick the language. For us here at Misplaced Pages.org, of course that would be English, which is at the top of the scroll list....then click "Go". This number reflects directly on the hits from the Wiki page it is viewed on. Since Twilight doesn't get much action, anything above 125 hits is pretty good. Some of those photos however, have upwards of 600 hits per month. I go through every few months, and check the hits, and make exchanges when needed. As far as the visual appeal is concerned, YES I agree. However, since Wiki has the most unbelievable storage of magnificent photos in the world in commons, it's nice to be able to let the Twilight page be enhanced by their beauty. Also, in my opinion, Twilight is the most beautiful time of the day, and deserving of some beauty on the page. Thanks for stopping by...your friend,-] (]) 17:20, 7 November 2013 (UTC) | |||

==Hello Alex== | ||
| Came here today to try and blank my user page. There are a bunch of photos there I would like deleted. I thought I would have access to that page but I don't. I don't know why I am being blocked indefinitely, but, that's OK. I have no plans of ever editing here again. As far as I'm concerned, Misplaced Pages is a ''failed experiment''. The problem is "user names". Once we edit with names, then we edit with ego, and the edits become ego edits. This site is full of gangs and clicks that have been here for over a decade. They run to each other's aid whenever there is a dispute. They also have friends that are admins; they show up for their pals just as fast. This is all because we are identified when we post. If the site was truly concerned about its content, there would be edit numbers. e.g.: An article has 500 edits. A registered user with no identification to others viewing the site, makes edit number "501". No one knows who made that edit. Someone else comes along and makes edit "502", and so on. No ID...NO EGO. I get sick when I go to a user page and see: "This Editor like Cats", and "This Editor is a Whatever", and the list goes on halfway down the page. I don't ever remember as a kid growing up, and using my encyclopedia, and seeing the name of the person under each paragraph that added that info to the subject. This site is completely '''out of control''', and I want no further participation in it. The only time a name should be visible here is in the photo credits, because it is art, and the artist must allow the site to license his work. PERIOD. No other identification should be visible. It would cure 99% of the site's issues. That aside, you can do me a parting favor since you have banned me for life here...lol. Please delete my user page as soon as you read this. You can write this sentence in its place: "This was the former page of a now retired editor". I hope you'll do that for me, because I will never have access to that page again, and I don't want my photos hanging out there on display.

No further messages on the page will be read by Pocketthis, so any attempt at leaving him a message is just typing practice. Pockethhis is logging off for the last time today. The site has become unwelcome to its base, and friendly and polite to vandals. This is a world that Pocketthis no longer will participate in.
