IMSLP Forums

I tried to write to a site administrator but he doesn't answer, I don't understand why, can someone suggest me how or who I can contact? Thanks
I already tried to create a discussion on his page but it was deleted:

What would you like to draw an administrator's attention to? You may ask here, should you wish to.

This administrator created my personal page for no (apparent) reason, and it is blank. I tried to remove it but he blocked the page and deleted my personal message, I would like to talk directly with him but he does not answer, so I seek the attention of another administrator.

I assume the reasoning behind the page's creation is that IMSLP prefers blue links on uploader fields, and since yours did not exist at all, it was created to be more aesthetically pleasing on workpages. I don't think it serves any other purpose!

Ok thank you, are you an admin?

No, but I am a copyright reviewer.

I think that the personal page also allows users to contact the contributor for any clarifications or issues about a submission, either using the associated discussion page or using the function "Email this user".

The personal page also allows to inspect the threads already present on the associated discussion page, which may be useful to clarify some aspects already discussed, without the contributor is contacted again for the same reason. As far as I remember, deleting the personal page would imply that the discussion page is also automatically deleted.

Users' discussion pages (at Special:WikiForum) can still be accessed and topics added even if the user page itself does not exist. The function "Email this user" is also available for accounts that have been created but do not have a user page. JacopoTore's discussion page had around 90 topics that had all been created before their user page had ever existed!

It is certainly possible to browse and inspect previously created threads on nonexistent user pages; the discussion forum is not linked to the page itself.
