Please assume good faith. If any of my edits have seemed unconstructive, please keep a cool head and notify me of my mistakes promptly. I try to be helpful and if I cause a problem, it is purely accidental; in no way are my edits meant to be offensive to anyone. Besides myself.

Nonsense gladly accepted. I like receiving messages, and I promise not to bite. Even if you think your questions are trivial, they may not be, at least to me. :)

My page is constantly being monitored by dedicated talk page stalkers. Some of them (I probably don't know them all) are The ed17, IceUnshattered, Juliancolton, Nutiketaiel, Sonia, and Little Mountain 5 off the top of my head. Most of the time they lurk in the dark, but some of them might respond to your comments before I do. Don't be alarmed though; they might provide you with better responses than I can.
Email me if the matter is confidential. But please include the word "Wikipedia" in the e-mail title so that I won't inadvertently delete it or have my spam-eater destroy it.
One of my worst pet peeves is a sappy goodbye. So for my sake, don't let it be. :)
I'm not leaving because I don't have the time. Well, time is scarce, but that's not the main issue. It's also not because of the community being harsh or ungrateful - you have been anything but. The last few weeks in real life have been complicated, more complicated than I can feasibly explain. All I could (and should) put here is that I'm a different person than I was when this began, and that this has nothing to do with Wikipedia itself.
Leaving is difficult, more difficult than I myself probably realize, and those who know me know how difficult a decision like this was for me to make. But Wikipedia was a phase of my life I perhaps can no longer take part in. To all my friends, thank you for the great time I had here, from the bottom of my heart, and my deep, sincere apology for not being able to stay longer.
I haven't been on IRC in about 2236467 years, so I hope you haven't been on and I missed you. :( Anyway, I hope you have a great life, my friend; good luck with everything piano, and I look forward to seeing your name on the news sometime. Email me sometime soon, okay? I'd like to keep in touch... With much "luvz" <3, —Ed(Talk • Contribs)21:49, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry to see you go... When I first joined, you were one of the first editors I kind of 'recognized'. And that was not because of a large number of FAs or anything like that, but because of your attitude. It's like Wikipedia has lost some of its colour now. After I returned from my long break, it was a nasty shock to see that black banner instead of the usual cheery userpage. I was just one day too late to catch you! We'll miss you, and this place will not be the same anymore now. Anyway, it sounds like you're doing well in your real life, so best of luck with that. Hope to see you around some time :) Chamaltalk12:19, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's very sad to see you go, La Pianista. You'll definitely be sorely missed. Hope you have a great life, and if you can, come back soon! :) LITTLEMOUNTAIN514:55, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like I don't have time to stop you this time. Hope you come back. I'd realized you'd stopped editing in large numbers. It looks like I was THE last one of the four. I called us the FOUR because there were four editors I new who started at very similar things. LB22 (you met once), you (You left once before) and one of your other friends who I regret to forget the name and now me. We're now the the NONE!!! you will miss my Grade 7! Damn. The one person I know who'd care. WWWWWWWHHHHHHHYYYYY are you going. I now don't have anyone else to turn to.

People with great attitudes, people who are willing to stretch out a hand for the young, naive, and eager, are always rare and appreciated in places such as this ... everything will be a little less bright without you. There's not much to do but say good-bye, and hope that you'll be coming around again. I hope I'll find a way to talk with you after this. S'ya. Icy // ♫22:17, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Have fun with your life, in any place that it takes you :) Hopefully, it will back here one day. We will be waiting. NW(Talk)02:31, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
A friend of a friend is a friend of mind, and a friend of mind is always in my heart and mind. Good luck with life, wherever it may take you, and remember that you are always welcome back here when and if you decide to return. Until then, Bon Chance.

Wow. I'm flattered and honored to see so much WikiLove left for me. I...It would be useless to say more, except that I've missed you all ever so much! :) —La Pianista♫ ♪04:04, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
o: Yey yey yay yay yay :) :) Well, now I feel obliged to get back and pick up my work and do something useful. -hug- Icy // ♫15:58, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's great to have you back, Pianista. Sorry about the delay in my welcome, I've been on vacation and didn't see your triumphant return until this morning. Nutiketaiel (talk) 12:54, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You reverted an edit I made on the Oranges and Lemons page. The change I was making was to make the reference to The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman appear in the literature section rather than the Graphic novels section as it is a children's book and NOT and graphic novel. I know that Neil Gaiman does also write some very nice graphic novels but the Newberry medal winning "The Graveyard Book" is not one of them.
Thanks, TPS. You guys still rock. True, I haven't edited that page before. Though by a mysterious coincidence I happened to log on today, I normally won't be on that often, and I definitely won't have the time to patrol edits. Sorry for the misunderstanding, —La Pianista♫ ♪21:50, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
