Dang, lotsa new skips tonight.
Anyways, hm. I'm not sure why I like this, I just do. Take a +1.

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-1503.
In the same vein, I just don't care for it. There's nothing exceptionally wrong with it, but nothing makes it stand out.
if your reading this your gay
In the samely same vein, I'm not sure what I think of this, so I'm going to abstain from voting. It's not badly written… I just don't really get it.
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
Too vague? The thing I was trying to emphasize here was its perception of time, where hundreds of years are perceived as mere moments. As well as the effects of weathering on living stone and how it would be perceived, which would make it scared of the harsh outside environment.

Also some artwork by MonkeyClone: (LINK)
Putting this here for better exposure.
Is it moving? If yes, then at what speed? The article doesn't mention that.
(account deleted)made entirely out of stone
This feels a bit unspecific.
Otherwise, something about creatures having a wildly different perception of time fascinates me, and I don't think you were being too vague about it. The addition of a precise measure of the entity's speed really helps grasp the concept quickly, though. +1
I come back from a year away and see a neat little scip. I like this one.
This one is nice.
First +1 since I left.
(Don't let that go to your head, I'm nobody special around here. Just left for awhile.)
Between the image and the vague, moody description, I do kinda like this one. It's not knock-you-flat brilliant or especially creative, but it has a sort of storytelling quality to it— like it's a thing that just exists without caring whether or not you find it interesting— that I like to see on the mainlist. A few nitpicks:
1) I have limited experience with translation (Latin, German) but the incomplete bits and suggested translations in the collapsible kinda bugged me— in a "language doesn't work quite like that" kind of way. Not a big deal, more of a nitpick.
2)
The area surrounding SCP-1503 within a 100m radius is to be deemed Site-75.
I don't think "deemed" is the right word. "Termed" is more scientific or "is known as", and I'd drop the "to be". I'm also wondering— are they more just tracking this thing than containing it? Since they just move the site as it moves?
I'm going to refrain from voting, I just don't understand this.
I like this. +1.
Small quibble in the last para: "…is believed to supersede all other inscriptions". "Supersede" implies that it makes them obsolete or wrong in some sense. I think the word you want is "postdate" all other inscriptions.
The "ANALYSIS: INCONCLUSIVE" bit just does not need to be there. But otherwise, I like this quite a bit.
