No, this is not a stupid question. I spent a good long time writing an article on something last week, and it (the entire article) has literally just disappeared. I thought it was marginally funny and pretty satirical; I formatted it well, and did everything good.
But it literally dissapeared! It doesn't come up on a search, it disappeared from my watch list, and it doesn't appear in any of the logs. What could have happened? The picture I uploaded for the article is still shown in the log...but not the article!

- Well, at a very minimum we're going to need to know what the name of this mysterious disappearing article is... Have you checked the deletion log for the page you put it on? -- Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 22:18, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, the article was "Iowa State University". It does not show up on the deletion log - or any log. Mattt1986 22:21, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

- Oh boy! Schoolcruft! I'd probably appreciate it more, but I went to the school of hard knocks. Or whatever the suburban equivalent of that is. --Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 03:11, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

- That's it. I remember one time the seatbelt latch on the Volvo got some gunk in it, and I had to press the button a couple of times to get it to release. If that isn't hard knocks, I don't know what is. Also, I don't know what hard knocks is. Are. --Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 08:29, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- /me is incredibly tempted to knock Modus very hard. But I won't, because he's suffered quite enough violence from me recently in various threads. :-) -- Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 17:27, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
