Contrast on user page

I stumbled upon your user page via my RfA, and struggled a bit to read it. Accessibility standards ask for more contrast (see [1]). If you change the background to #FAFAFA and the text colour to #606060, you meet most standard accessibility markers (see [2]). Would you be willing to change it?

@Femke: Apologies for the late response, I haven't checked Meta lately. I have made the suggested changes. ✗plicit 05:29, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Ko Wikipedia

Hi Explicit, I hope you're well, I hope you don't mind me contacting you as I found you via the Ko babel category,

I'm wondering if you could help me - I'm trying to have ko:초안:셈 윌리엄스 sent to AFD (or preferably deleted) - I asked them to add the AFD subpage to the AFD main board .... but they did the opposite and deleted the AFD subpage instead,

I did originally CSD it but it was still sat there 3-4 days later so I don't suppose there's any chance you could work your magic and send it to AFD for me could you please?, I've been relying on Google Translate and pure luck and yeah it's not gone as well as I hoped lol,

Many thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010^Talk 21:26, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

@Davey2010: Hi, I have tagged the page as G11 and I left a comment clarifying that it may meet that speedy deletion criterion. Since the page is in draftspace, I'm not sure how lenient or stringent the application of the CSD will be, but I think I communicated the reason for the deletion request. ✗plicit 10:42, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Brilliant thanks so much for your help, I've had the same issue on the Chinese project and they've sent a warning saying "Please communicate in Chinese" which made me laugh, Anyway I've given up on my quest to have this spammy guy deleted off of the face of the earth as this has become too much effort and headache and the warning was the cherry on the cake for me. Anyway thanks again for your help I greatly appreciate it a lot, Have a lovely day, Many thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010^Talk 21:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
