Attack pages

Do not create attack pages, as you did at Gal Avgay and Gal Av-Gay. This can be considered vandalism. Wikipedia articles must have notable subjects and be written from a neutral point of view. Thank you. –Sommers ^(Talk) 04:53, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to The Handmaid's Tale. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox.
