Hamid[edit]

Dear friend. Now that you are here at the article about you much can be done to elaborate on your wonderful life. This is your old friend, Ed, from Chase Ave in Chgo. I have been an editor here at Wikipedia for almost five years. One of the many articles I have worked on is this article about you. I am just now leaving the city and headed downstate. Your registering to be an editor is a wonderful occasion. I hope I can be an assistant and potential mentor to you. Have a blessed day.

Rollback[edit]

I undid User:Yerakina's deletion of yesterday's edit of new editor User:Hamiddrake. Not sure why User:Y deleted. He gave no reason in his edit summary. As you are both new editors, this is a good example of how useful the "edit summary" is. Had User Y stated a resposible reason perhaps his edit would stand. As it is (no reason given), I must delete.```Buster Seven Talk 20:25, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Liof Munimula?[edit]

Hamid was never a member of Liof Munimula, was he? The article says so, but I think someone may have confused him with Michael Zerang, who was definitely in the group. SethTisue (talk) 13:35, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure. Its been an improve trio since early '80s. Maybe Hamid played as a member at some point. Since neither of us can verify, I'll revert its mention. ```Buster Seven Talk 20:57, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
