*Today was a solemn reminder of the relationships and friends one makes online and through cyberspace. Often a world hide away from those in the outside world, it never ceases to amaze me of the meaningful contributions and bonds of community working over a project can create. These alternate lives online we lead form some of the strongest friendships we count amongst our very closest. While not aways aware of the impact our loved ones had on the lives of others in distant countries, I hope Fran's family read this and know he was truly missed all around the world. I have also added a link on the [[WP:Vancouver]] talk, whom Fran was a regular contributor. [[User:Mkdw|Mkdw]][[User talk:Mkdw|''talk'']] 22:11, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:Solar-powered fountain]] ==

The article [[:Solar-powered fountain]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]] because of the following concern:

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Solar-powered fountain|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised.
