Talk Page Protection
Hey. And thanks for what you did. I warned DragonKing22 about his last threat he made toward me last month about his persistent vandalism on the Adelaide Productions page. This is the second time this year that I've got attacked by another user here. Is it okay that you protect my user page for a certain period of time? King Shadeed 00:11, July 17, 2015 (UTC)
