Hey Riana,
I'm writing regarding the fact that I have acquired two websites, who have accepted my request to supply Wikipedia with images. I'm not sure how to carry on, so as per Blofeld's recommendation I have approached you to assist me.
I would like a license such as this one, with Kollywoodtoday.com and Behindwoods.com [1]. If you want photograpjhic/written evidence of their acceptance please ask!
Thanks for the immediate reply - I've got into some hot water at times with images. If i copy and paste their respecrive messages here, will you kindly take ove rthe proceedings? Cheers. Universal Hero19:53, 12 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sorry to bother you, and I hope I don't make you regret ever having waded into the morass that is alternative medicine. The user who was edit warring – and who caused you to protect homeopathy the first time around – is now trying to bait other editors: [2]. He may be upset about the extant RfC on his conduct (Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Whig 2). As a neutral third party, could you have a word with him? He's digging a pit for himself.

For your contribution to My RfA, which passed with 8000 Supports, 2 Neutrals and no opposes.
The standards and dedication of the English Wikipeidan Administrators is excellent and I am privileged to stand among them. Thankyou for putting you trust in me, I'll not see it abused.
Also, special thanks for having supported me twice, on my first and on my latest RfA. It’s people like you that keep me coming back to this wacky-white-world. And now, I will dance naked around a fire. Party at my place! Cheers! Dfrg.msc 08:03, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Expand for picture....
I will, dear Riana! I've blocked someone already, gave 'em 24 hours. Oh, that'll make them think about vandalizing the Incredible Hulk article again and again. Is there.. um... like a manual, I can read? Or like a a tool box? Save me from myself! Dfrg.msc10:16, 16 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Sorry about the late response, I was offline. Reporting to AIV should be enough, just say whose socks they are and they'll get blocked pretty quick :) ~ Riana ⁂05:13, 17 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hello...I have a slight problem that maybe you all might be able to help with. The little "menu" at the top of my userpage that has a time, links to my talk page, contribs and the like, and a little saying is normally right in between the line at the top of the page, for some reason it is slid way down (you will see what I mean) and I am not sure how to fix it. If you or DarkFalls could help, I would appericate it. (Sorry for the bad explanation). - NeutralHomerT:C22:45, 16 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
I do appear to arouse that response in people. I'm not half as hot as she is though, and my voice is less annoying. :) ~ Riana ⁂05:37, 17 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi Riana I am a new user on wikipedia and I was wondering if you would review my article to help me make it better. I chose you because I saw that you helped others or made edits to other articles related to mine. I just wrote an article on the national dairy checkoff. (Bakekari14:38, 17 October 2007 (UTC))Reply

Hi Riana, could you please reprotect my page? Somehow the protection got lost, and I don't know how. I hope that semiprotection will do. Thanks a bunch! --Kyoko15:06, 17 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hey Kyoko - Alison deleted and restored your userpage and the protection got lost in the process. Reprotected. I've replied to your e-mails too, hope you got them (and if not something's still wrong with my mail... ) ~ Riana ⁂15:11, 17 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, Riana. Did you just send your replies? I've not gotten anything from you in over a week. Speaking of deleted pages, your own page seems to be missing. If you want something austere but functional, might I suggest adapting my "toolbar" (the bar with the links on my page) for your purposes? I've seen other admins' pages, where they divide links by categories (deletions, etc.) I'm just not used to seeing blank userpages, but it's up to you of course. Thanks again for reprotecting my page! --Kyoko15:21, 17 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
No worries! I sent my replies... yesterday. :/ I've restored my userpage - I was pretty much just doing what Allie did with yours, bit of WP:DENY at work. :) ~ Riana ⁂15:23, 17 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
OK, perhaps you should try resending the replies, then. I must have looked at your page right after you deleted it. I understand what you mean by WP:DENY. --Kyoko15:33, 17 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please can you block the IP address of this user permanently. He has disrupted many articles and the last vandalising went unnoticed -the important British Army article. He ought to be blocked indefinately as he has had at least ten temporary blocks in the past and not listened to one of them♦ Sir Blofeld ♦"Talk"?12:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Riana, I'd appreciate it if you could just delete the images. This vandal is incredibly persistent, both here and on Commons. I can have the accounts blocked when they pop up, but once the images are uploaded, he uses dynamic IPs to remove the speedy tags and I sometimes have to revert multiple times before an admin gets around to working the deletion category. I don't know if the image names can be salted here and/or on Commons (Roitr always uploads images under the same filenames.) Videmus OmniaTalk17:13, 19 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Get Firefox! :) Also if you've been an admin involved with AIV for a while (I'm into my 8th month now) you know that you can get away without analysing every single report, if they come from certain users. I don't check the bot reports mostly, and users like MER-C, Gurch, Oxymoron83 and a few others can always be trusted to give reliable reports. ~ Riana ⁂17:14, 19 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Brilliant! I have noticed these Editors' consistent and reliable reports...good idea. I'll probably still doublecheck, though...just in case..heck, I doublecheck everything I do myself...;) Thanks Riana!! Dreadstar†17:30, 19 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi I noticed your quick revert, darn it I was hoping for him to at least see it first, spoil my fun. We're friends in the living down the street kind of way and he has a history of editing my page, or at least up until recently, I appologuise to you and admit it was nothing but harmless retaliation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LSWSjr (talk • contribs) 13:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hello I am concerned that a User:Universal Hero has obtained permission to use images from kollywoodtoday and has this permission registered in the OTRS register. This user has at least 2x provided incorrect copyright information and once lied about it. I think its possible this user has faked the permission from Kollywoodtoday.com. Does any check with kollywoodtoday take place beyond this user's contact with them when the permission has been uploaded into OTRS? What would be the best way to proceed?
I also raised a sockpuppetry case as this user seems to be extremely similar to another (few) users who were banned for copyright issues, including faking OTRS information

Thanks for the tip! The code for my page looks so funny over there! Not as funny as seeing Jimbo staring back at me, but still... If cascading protection is in effect, would unprotecting User:Kyoko/Header work, or would that let anybody change it? --Kyoko02:19, 25 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Ah, forgot to cascade protect, I'll do that now. But unprotecting the header will work if it's cascade protected, yep. ~ Riana ⁂02:20, 25 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Actually I took off cascade protection because it protects anything you have transcluded on your userpage.css - meaning it protects your header so you can't write in it, and it protects the defcon so other people can't update it. Instead I've moved your header to User:Kyoko/header.css and transcluded it into User:Kyoko/Header and protected that, so that only you can change your header once again. Hope that helps :) ~ Riana ⁂02:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Dear Riana, you uploaded some picture.jpg and this bot says that you suck for uploading it. Please find some other picture because bots know best. Now I must go and troll other user pages. Sincerely, some bot -- Samir02:07, 25 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
No... kidding... Dreadstar. I'm in three (ok, one now) conversations at once, whilst being attacked by trolls. I haven't refreshed my watchlist in half an hour, at least. Such a busy night... Gscshoyru02:42, 25 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Is not the person who was attacking me last night, but rather a sock of my old friend JJonz, as evidenced by his edits and username. Wonderful... and I'd thought we were rid of him. But thanks for watching my back again! Gscshoyru12:18, 25 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Riana I understand what you're trying to accomplish, but there is no point in giving this troll a voice any longer. The account was created for one purpose and one purpose only. By asking for a helpful article I'm afraid you're just feeding the trolls (even though you do not mean to). Burntsauce17:24, 25 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, I admit I was toying with them a bit when I left that answer, because I know nothing good's going to come from there... I'll just revert and protect. ~ Riana ⁂17:27, 25 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi Rianna,
First of, thanks a lot for blocking the 4 or so vandals i have reported the last hour. However, i noticed that the user pages of these vandals aren't updated with a blocked warning. Yet the helperbot does report theyr are blocked a day in the revision hostory of the admin intervention page. Is this a bug, accident, or intentional? --Excirial09:30, 26 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hi Excirial, this is merely because I have grown excessively lazy in updating the talkpage with a block notice. I have to pull my socks up, apologies. ~ Riana ⁂09:36, 26 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi Riana, I thought you might be about to sleep (not sure about time zone diff) so I asked Alison (not sure when she wakes up). Thanks. I was going to upload pulmonary hypertension but I need to fix it more. --Kyoko11:41, 26 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
</ref>, found in the article. A ref appears before a period, comma, or semi-colon. Please move the reference to after the period, comma, or semi-colon.
It's hard to go through a long article to find those.
Parser is a freaking goddamn nutcase fascist, never fails to drive me crazy. As regards </ref>, - to fix that, try running a search for the string in the edit mode, that should catch them. If it still doesn't work try another search for </ref>. Cheers, MoreschiTalk12:47, 26 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
This will sound selfish, but I would like to upload that article myself, because it's something I helped write. So please don't do it before me. Thanks. --Kyoko13:01, 26 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
