What is this page, anyway?

I moved this page to Orrin's userspace as it was an undescribed page with random data that seems to be a user-specific page. He moved it back. Apparently it is a work in progress about food ingredient coordinates that he wants in the main wiki, but not public (I don't understand why).

Now at least it has a description, which is an improvement, but frankly trying to have not-really-public data on the wiki is an exercise in futility - the whole point of a wiki is to have searchable, community-edited pages. Personally I think Orrin could achieve the same goals by putting the page in a sensible place and putting an explanation at the top; or by doing all the editing on a user page where it's expected that other people won't randomly edit your pages. But Orrin doesn't accept that (I don't know why). Every time you submit a page edit, you get that little warning at the bottom..

Since this is a work in progress and will eventually be moved to the "right place", and Orrin seems very attached to calling it "Testpage" (I don't know why), I'm not going to try to move this somewhere more sensible right away. I'll revisit it later, once the data is done, to check it's been renamed.

Simple. Map of egypt with words 'Co-Ords' where the co-ords dont relate to egypt co-ords is just gonna confuse people. And this is *NOT* your wiki. So don't tell me how to run things please. I know perfectly well what I'm doing, this is a testpage, it's totally public, but I want to keep it off the search radar because of the confusion factor. -- (Unsigned comment by Orrin.

As I said above, I'm not going to touch it now since you seem determined to keep it at this location. If it's a public page, though, you should expect public edits in the future. --Inkoaten 07:16, 11 April 2009 (EST)

No edits for over a month now. Is this ready for public consumption or moving elsewhere yet? --Inkoaten 06:37, 18 May 2009 (EST)

Orrin, I'll move this page to a subpage of your user page in a few days, unless you object. --Inkoaten 07:11, 2 June 2009 (EST)
