Soliloquy!

Hello Smerus,

While working on the article Soliloquy recently, I happened to notice that back in 2006—nearly 20 years ago!—you had suggested merging it with Monologue. I believe the two did end up being merged at one point, though they were later separated again.

I just thought it was neat to come across your comment from so long ago and then see that you are still active today. As part of the Core Contest, I recently rewrote the Soliloquy article from the ground up—given its status as a level-5 vital article—and it is now at good article nomination. I thought you might appreciate the connection, having been involved in the article’s earlier history.

All the best,

We are creating the list to celebrate 10 years of Women in Red and we hope to present it at Wikimania.
We are ignoring the obvious, so do you have a name or subject we should consider?
Can you suggest a DYK style hook?
