RE: Downlands College warning

Why am i the one getting cautioned when I'm the only one who didnt put anything offensive or explicit up there?? -Patrickwhittle90 8 may 2007

Thanks

edit

Thanks for the welcome :) I have to admit that i usually dont edit any page that i am not involved with, but fact is, i'd rather sit and remove vandalism and cleanup, correct article than write them. Cyb3r01dX 05:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Great! Thank you for the quick response, and for letting me know about the new area to report inappropriate usernames at. I'll give it a try next time I need to report one. Thanks again! Jmlk17 09:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh, and my sympathies for your troubles (I noticed the box above). Things will shine on through eventually :) Jmlk17 09:33, 7 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

More thanks

Hi Riana, I wish I could do more to help, but I'm just not in a position to do anything more than offer moral support and prayers. --Kyoko 09:37, 7 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Tool

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on the Tool page. It's amazing to see how much you are contributing in the face of personal troubles. I hope all works out well for you, you do good work! :) Wikidan829 12:48, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks :) – Riana 12:54, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Whoops, I misunderstood what that tag was for. Thanks for getting back to me and removing the tag. Hurricanehink (talk) 13:14, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Little trolls

edit

Thank you for at least trying to prevent little trolls from causing trouble. One would think that after a few months this game would not be fun anymore. Oh well, thank you anyway. Moorematthews 13:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

"Going out with friends"

edit

Ever edit Wikipedia while drunk? :-P — Deckiller 14:19, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Incohol? Anyway, I haven't either. It would be too risky :) — Deckiller 15:10, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Good point. And perhaps those people will mellow out a bit after a few drinks. So it's sort of the inverse for them: the more they drink, the better they get. :) — Deckiller 18:40, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

e-mail alert

edit

Hi Riana, I sent you an e-mail seeking your opinion about something. It's not urgent, but I thought you might enjoy the "You have new messages" bar, so I decided to let you know on-wiki. I hope you're feeling better. --Kyoko 15:05, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ah Kyoko, you know me so well. I adore seeing new messages! :) Unless they're of the type I've been getting lately... – Riana 15:06, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
You know I wouldn't do that. If you are reading this, then you've obviously seen the new messages bar once more, and it means that you have a reply. As a side note, for someone who is supposed to be partially active, I'm hanging around Wikipedia a bit more than I planned. I'm talking about me, not you. --Kyoko 21:34, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks

edit

Hey - thanks for cheering up my talk page earlier :-) And you're welcome for the vandalism revert! Happy to help. Will (aka Wimt) 22:14, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the help

edit

Thanks for the advice. I do appreciate the help. I will try to follow along for the next time.

Fighting the good fight against vandals.....--Witchzilla 14:41, 9 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thank you so much

edit

Riana, thank you for your kind words. You've made my day. Yes, the experience was a little unpleasent, especially the disrespectful terminalogy used by User: Tony Sideway or whatever his name is, towards the victims. However, the wonderful thing about the whole issue, was the unconditional support that I received from friends and those who have never interacted with me before, plus the prompt restoration of my adminship showed me that my work here has not been in vain. Riana, count me among your friends and if I can ever be of any help to you, please do not hesitate to let me know. Tony the Marine 18:41, 9 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

hi!

Hey, can you tell me the template you use to welcome people :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cyberoidx (talkcontribs).

Hope you dont mind if i rip yours :) Cyb3r01dX 08:30, 11 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I just found a friend of mine because we both were on your talk page :0 anyways, can you tell me how i could use your theme for the userpage and then modify it :) Yeah, i know you want to abuse me, but i could really do with the help. Cyb3r01dX 07:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Its just shocking that you are ALWAYS online <insert giggle simley here> anyways, thanks a lot, i'll just use the wikipedia portal and helpme from now on Cyb3r01dX 08:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Too quick

I was just tagging that before you deleted it! Thanks. One Night In Hackney303 14:06, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

No worries. Silly troll. I'll keep an eye out. – Riana 14:07, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Why can't I edit I am only adding what is true I cant believe that this site allows people to support terrorism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by General Peabody (talkcontribs)

It's someone's sockpuppet based on the user talk pages he's canvassed for support on. Obviously for articles to be truly NPOV "terrorist" should be in every sentence at least once.... One Night In Hackney303 14:18, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Aye, there's always a few. – Riana 14:20, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Mail

edit

Back at ya. I still have to reply to Phaedriel, and that will take much more time. She writes beautifully, and it doesn't seem right to reply with terse comments like "Yeah. I agree. That's true." Your message is longer than just "Yeah", if you were wondering. --Kyoko 14:54, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks hon! Gmail's on the fritz again, so I'll probably not have a look at it until tomorrow... – Riana 15:01, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

User:AGK/Admin Actions

edit

Hey ;) just to let you know, I loved your Admin statement so much, I used it at the above page. I hope you don't mind - I've attributed you both there and at my user page; if you're not fine with it, drop me a message and I'll request it for speedy deletion delete it (sorry - still not used to the mop ;-) and your user page - it's gone!

Anthony 19:27, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

A rather late RfA thanks!

edit
 
Good evening (GMT time) Riana; I'd like to thank you for supporting, opposing, commenting, nominating, reading, editing, promoting and/or anything else that you may have done for my successful request for adminship. As a result of the discussion, I'm pleased to inform you that I'm now a Administrator! I've already been making use of my new tools, so if there's anything I can do, give me a shout!
Kindest regards,
Anthony 22:26, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi Riana, sorry I have not been able to tell you sooner, but I am back from my Wikibreak. Gee I am thankful that most of the unpacking is already done :) Harrison-HB4026 23:30, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Unprotecting Naruto

edit

I know that there was heavy vandalism when it was unprotected, but you protected it almost two months ago now. Do you believe that it is time to unprotect it? Please tell me what you think. Thank you!! - Hairchrm 04:35, 13 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

  Unprotected, let's give it a go :) – Riana 05:16, 13 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Resigning

edit

It wasn't even me, so shut it. I am leaving and I won't be returning. All wikipedia is, is a battleground for deranged critics. I am leaving because I am not the account Molag Bal, nor mr Oompapa. Nor I caused that trouble under Retiono Virginian. You won't be seeing me again. Eaomatrix 10:21, 13 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

So you expect us to completely deny Checkuser evidence? I'm sorry, I don't see how that works. – Riana 10:22, 13 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Can I have my article back pleeease :-)

edit

My article was deleted on "Katy martin". However, I really need the contents of the article so if there is a way you could somehow pass this on to me by either restoring it or some other method that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ant Fattony88 17:41, 13 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Conflict at RFPP

That's OK, we said the same thing anyway :) – Riana 04:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re:Question

edit

Well I've lived in and loved Calcutta for almost five years, my mum's fluent in Bengali and I learnt the language as my third language in school while I was there. I love sandesh, mishti doi and believe bengali beauties can put any exotic supermodel to shame.

Therefore, although I am not a born bengali, I think I could very well qualify as one :) Are you?

Hope your keeping well,

Regards, xC | 06:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Lol, an Aussie Bong - I like the combination :)
Just wondering, how'd you find out my Bengali connection? Detective in the making? ;)

Thanks for the quick reply! Lol, actually I'm interested in Bollywood all round, have you seen the state of some of the bollywood biopages? Scary, they are... just doing my little bit to help improve our project :) xC | 07:18, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Yes indeed! And now it is :p Let me know how things are going, I'm around to talk if you're up for it or have something to say. Feel free to poke me if you're on and I don't notice   ^_^     LOVE! — Editor at Large(speak) 07:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hey there

edit

Hi!

We've met earlier once before, when I stole the links from your userpage :)

I'm Xcentaur (talk · contribs), a Wikipedia editor for almost two years now although I only signed up for an account around March last year. I have a keen interest in Bollywood and Electronics, and the majority of my contributions are there. A lot of my edits are also devoted towards maintainence related tasks, such as merging, tagging articles for deletion, vandal watch, etc. A short selection of some contribs I'm proud of can be found at my braglist. Although editcountitis should be considered a fatal disease, still here is my edit count.

I would like to formally request you to be my admin coach. You are truly one of the most caring admins I've met, and I am truly amazed that you continue to contribute inspite of your personal troubles. This is honestly what I have noticed from your edits, please don't believe it to be flattery :)

If you would become my coach, I would truly be grateful. If not, I understand that you are busy. Perhaps you would allow me to pester you at some other time? :)

Much appreciated,

Best regards,

xC | 09:11, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thank you so so much! Take your time, absolutely no problem :) I'll be looking forward to your posts. Again, thank you! xC | 12:00, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Vandalism from 220.239.186.48

edit

Hi Riana, problem at the mill I am afraid! Could you please review the above users' last bunch of edits [1] and consider blocking him. He is now following me around and either reverting my edits or adding daft material. You previously 'counselled' this user over Kep Enderby. Much appreciated. Gillyweed 10:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Obviously my counselling did no good - blocked for a week, please read what I've written on his talkpage and tell me if it's reasonable, would you? Cheers mate, – Riana 11:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Polite and assertive as always. Thank you. I perhaps may have mentioned that 'stalking' my edits and putting in rubbish, wasn't in the spirit of WP. But maybe a block is quite enough to cool his/her heels. Thanks. Hope things are improving for you. Gillyweed 12:12, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hey gurl!

edit

Hey, Riana, MAYBE you shouldn't tell me what I should be doing. IF I WANT TO WRITE IN ALL CAPS THEN I WILL WRITE IN ALL CAPS WHENEVER I FUCKING FEEL LIKE IT. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.29.227.4 (talk) 17:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC).Reply

Vote tally on RfA

edit

Hi. I noticed you changed the vote tally on my RfA to 5-5-4 from 5-8-4, but, the latter (unfortunately) seems to be the correct count. Do you usually wait to change the numbers until a certain time, meaning someone jumped the gun on updating my tally, or did my tally get mixed up with someone else's? --Dynaflow babble 07:46, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
