I have to step out - so the gruelling construction will continue tonight - cheers Satu Suro 02:45, 30 April 2007 (UTC) reply

My brickie has gone home so I had a chance to check - thankyou thankyou and it looks great - i thought we might maybe get some help from cj/moondyne/longhair - as I have tried asking for comment - but it looks like you have sorted most of it out already - wow! The project is being set up with expectation of very low involvement of other editors compared to other projects thaat get created and initially get drive by volunteers who register and never do anything ... so basically in tune with my experience of Darwin and the NT - this is truly a working persons project -those who are there can do stuff! thanks again - later (please delete my attempt thanks) Satu Suro 06:20, 30 April 2007 (UTC) reply

On your edit to Josh Gattis [1] you said "declining speedy for now - lots of these 2007 NFL Draft stubs popping up right now. speedy may not be the right way to go about this." Hence, What is the right way to go about this? In my opinion,

• Notability is not popularity. Popularity does not by itself render a subject notable, nor does lack of popularity render it non-notable.
• WP:BIO. A person is notable if he or she has been the subject of secondary sources that are reliable. (They were not present in the article I objected.)

Should I nominate each article independently? Whatever it be, I'll do it after my wikibreak, which I need not only for getting calm but also for taking care of other responsabilities. Regards, Rjgodoy 11:57, 30 April 2007 (UTC) reply

Yeah, I've been seeing a lot of those popping up while on new page patrol lately, so I'm not really sure speedy deleting them is the way to handle them - a mass AFD nomination maybe? Or just prod the lot? Anyway, we'll figure it out when you get back, enjoy your break :) – Riana _ऋ 13:34, 30 April 2007 (UTC) reply

First, prod should only be used for articles that are uncontroversial deletion candidates... If that were the case, we would not be discussing this subject, and 2007 NFL Draft is an event in progress. Hence, in my opinion AfD would be better.

I think there should be only one single Afd for all the articles in question (if some article's is firmly opposed, there should be another AfD solely for that article)... Does this conform Wikipedia's procedures?

(thanks for your wishes, and not, I'm not avoiding my break... I consider I am psychologically capable for editing at this time, and there are 4 hours before my bus leaves, anyway I won't deal with controversial issues by now) — Rjgodoy 09:15, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

No, I think a mass AfD would be more appropriate. It's a common thing to do, and I agree that PROD would not be appropriate (I was just thinking aloud at that point). If someone is more opposed to one than the others, they can ask the nominator to take it out of the list. Right now may not be a good time to do this - perhaps after the NFL Draft is over? Whenever that is? (doesn't follow American football) – Riana _ऋ 09:52, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

I'm back! :) After reading 2007 NFL Draft I understand it is over. Now elected players should walk their own path towards notability. I also understand their are not immediatly notable on a NFL Draft-only basis (for instance, this applies to Mr. Irrelevant). Do you know how did these stubs evolve last week? I don't want to accelerate anything but... do you consider it is time for AfD? Rjgodoy 03:17, 7 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Hi Riana. Just wanted to give you a heads up, that any relatively new accounts that are trying to get Dave Batista, Bobby Lashley and especially Brock Lesnar unprotected are more than likely a sock puppet of the banned vandal Verdict. He is using open proxies now to create socks which is why he is able to claim a different IP everytime. His sock creation seems to be slowing down, but will only pick up again as he preys on users and admins who may not know exactly the situation. I thought I would let you know so that from now on, when you see a relatively new account that asks for unprotection to these articles you can simply revert, block, and ignore since he now seemingly is also trying to game the system. Thanks! Bmg916 ^Speak _Sign 14:57, 30 April 2007 (UTC) reply

No problem, I've been helping Yamla out with the situation for a while, since the articles Verdict targets are under the scope of WP:PW which I participate in. I just think WP:RBI has started to sort of work in this case, as the socks aren't as frequent. But we shall see... Bmg916 ^Speak _Sign 15:06, 30 April 2007 (UTC) reply

Hi Riana? I have a question? I would like to know why you fully protect all of your archive pages? Is it really need to? King Lopez ^Contribs 08:27, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

*shrug* No reason. I can unprotect if you don't think I should do it :) – Riana _ऋ 09:49, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Not at all. It was originally protected because a "shock site" owner was spamming his sites into the article. He seems to have vacated the premises and at this point I (and hopefully others) can keep an eye on the article to make sure sites that don't meet WP:ATT don't creep back in.-- Isotope23 13:05, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Yes, hopefully. Unfortunately, that user has had a history of waiting for unprotection and then coming back. As it's clear at this point that he's avoiding discussion, I think if it happens again, a block might be more appropriate than protection. Mango juice ^talk 14:15, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

I'll keep an eye on it - I think I've seen this user's edits before, so I will hopefully recognise them if I see a recurrence. At any rate, the article's semiprotected now, so at least he won't come back with new accounts. – Riana _ऋ 14:17, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the semi. This article's a vandal magnet; no idea why. Will it expire automatically, or should I request unprotection in a while—say, next month? Best, Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 13:43, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

hello Riana, i understand that you full-protected the Rafida article. although of course the protected version is always considered the wrong one, your page protection fell upon the article version which retained vandalism (i would not consider this a content dispute) which was inserted by an single purpose account who has employed the use of multiple sockpuppets to perpetually revert on this (see the article history) and other articles. Dreamz rosez ( talk · contribs) itself isn't even the original account. this has been well-documented on the talk page (also see here), has been brought up on AN/I multiple times by editors (latest occasion was by myself [2]), and the editor has been perpetually warring - without discussion - since Nov. 2006. i would request the other version without the vandalism be restored please. regards, ITAQALLAH 16:43, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Ah, I was trying to get more information about this from AnonMoos, but s/he appears to have gone offline. I will gladly unprotect the article if it is a single user causing disruption, but being unfamiliar with the article, I was unsure which version was correct, and who was in the right. Should Dreamz rosez be blocked as a sockpuppet, in your opinion? Thanks, – Riana _ऋ 16:46, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

the Dreamz rosez ( talk · contribs) acct appears to have been created on the 1st of Feb '07, while as one can see on the talk page there have been numerous accounts created earlier which have been blocked indef as sockpuppets (i.e. see Talk:Rafida#Now he's getting accounts). so it sounds like a good call. thanks. ITAQALLAH 16:56, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

OK. I've dropped the protection to semi, reverted to AnonMoos's version, and have blocked the Dreamz rozez account for 2 weeks (I would block for longer, but would like some input from Swatjester first). Thanks for your advice. – Riana _ऋ 16:59, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Hey Riana, can I invite your help for a bit? As you may know, I've been involved in the Virginia Tech massacre and related articles, but one of my main focuses has been firearms articles. There's been a dispute that I've been semi-managing regarding the inclusion of "see also" references in the Glock 19 and Walther P22 articles. Would you mind keeping an eye on the two articles for me for a day or two while I'm travelling back home? I'll give you a short background on the disputes. The first dispute is whether a link to the VT article should be included. On the Glock 19 article, there was an incredibly overwhelming consensus not to include it anywhere. On the Walther P22 article, there was no consensus reached (50/50 split), so we defaulted to returning the article to its original state before the shooting happened (i.e. no consensus defaults to removing the information). I'm trying to keep that decision enforced: that the Glock 19 article is absolutely not going to include it, and the P22 article at this present time will not include it unless the opinion of the community changes. The second dispute is because some people are pissed off about that, they're adding the "POV" tag to the Walther P22 page....a brief view of the page will note that it is entirely written from a technical and operational standpoint: no partisanship. Their adding of the tag, inappropriately, seems like a point violation to me, but I'm not going to be the one to make that call since I believe coelacan is already taking care of that. Anyway, if you don't mind, could you just keep an eye on those two pages for me while I'm travelling? Thanks. ⇒ SWATJester ^{Denny Crane.} 18:11, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Thanks. I'm about to finish packing and get in the car, but I just noticed now that Griot, one of the pro-inclusion editors, has filed a Mediation Cabal request on both articles. Seems like a WP:POINT violation to me: the Glock 19 article was clearly resolved in a way he didn't like, and the Walther P22 article is at least stable now, again in a way he doesn't like. I've left notes on the respective cases, but I'd appreciate your input as well if you would like. It's always good to have an outside opinion on such things. ⇒ SWATJester ^{Denny Crane.} 18:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Hi Riana. If I understand what you're wanting – separate categories for article and non-article pages – I need to do some testing first, because at present all subproject parameters automatically categorise all tagged pages as articles (even when also categorised as non-article pages). In any event, to categorise NT pages as non-articles, I'll need to add assessment code to the NT parameter – which will require the creation of at least 9 categories (another 5 if importance rankings are enabled).-- cj | talk 14:12, 3 May 2007 (UTC) reply

It's a bad idea. We should respect the decisions of others. Period. Moreschi ^Talk 09:48, 5 May 2007 (UTC) reply

I have actually communicated more with him than the on-board exchanges. Anyway, we'll see. He's free to politely decline. I am happy with the gesture and you can make of it what you will, including not devoting any more time to it. cheers, Cas Liber | talk | contribs 10:08, 5 May 2007 (UTC) reply

One purple flower deserves another

Dear Riana, thank you very much for your kind message on my talk page. It was very heartwarming for me to read, especially at a time of uncertainty in my life. I'm both humbled and flattered by your words; humbled, because I'm not sure I deserve such praise; flattered, for reasons that I think are obvious.

On your RfA, I described you as "friendly, knowledgeable in many areas, always willing to help others", all of which you are, and so much more. Not once have you made me regret supporting your candidacy. If anything, your kindness, your wisdom, and your good humour have only confirmed your merit of becoming an admin, and more importantly, made me proud to call you my friend. I'm touched by your words, and I pledge to also support, defend, and sustain you, especially in your time of need. You too are a wonderful person, Riana, never forget that, no matter what other people say.

Maybe semi protect the article? They are obviously ignoring the message, except maybe to point out that we've been on the computer too long, and that we are "stopping truthful posts"... [5] -- Kzrulzuall ^{Talk• Contribs} 08:24, 6 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Have you ever thought about semi- or full-protecting your page? It might curb the vandalism a little bit. :) —  $PЯING rαgђ  20:45, 6 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Uh, sorry to bother you, but I currently have an Editors Review going on, and someone suggested I should increase my mainspace edits through copy-editing, and to ask you how to best go about that. Thanks. (If you didn't understand me, which unfortunately happens a lot, please let me know) -- Smokizzy 21:27, 6 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Um, thanks for this. Not a big fan of selling drugs to children, heh. Michaelas ¹⁰ 21:35, 6 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Hi Riana, I would like to have your opinion about this change to the header on my user and talk pages. I'd ask Elara herself, but I don't think she would be able to answer anytime soon. Do you think the change is fine? For that matter, do you mind being included in the header? I can change it if you want.

It's things like this that make you think that the world doesn't make any sense.

I'm praying for Elara, and for E@L, and for you. -- Kyok o 22:28, 6 May 2007 (UTC) reply
