	Good evening. Saw that you are admin for Misplaced Pages. I occasionally get on an edit , usually when I see some idiot put something outlandish and flat wrong. I read on wiki a ton. How would I move up my senority so to speak so I can edit even more articles? IE like the one on Halloween. You locked it and rightfully so, I think it was a good move. However in the opening paragraph last line it ends by saying (paraphrasing) "that Halloween has turned in to robbing and looting. Which I don't think is accurate. Nor does it have a proper citation to back that assertion up in my opinion.

	:Happy Halloween to you too, and thank you for offering to help.

Usually, all you will need to do is check the last edit and undo if needed, but sometimes it's a little trickier than that.
