Thanks for clearing that up on my coaching page :) Now you've made me curious, what was this incident? If you'd rather tell me later I'm all ears - WP talk pages, email, Gtalk, I'm on all of em. Can I ask you a question - how many hours have you been editing today? I see you everywhere, and judging from your timestamps, all the time too! :P xC | ☎ 13:31, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Riana, feel free to give me an editor review at Wikipedia:Editor review/SunStar Net 3 - I'd appreciate the advice. It's interesting to see the main page article being semi-protected: doesn't this violate WP:NOPRO or is it a WP:IAR being carried out?? Anyhow, hope you're OK!
Thanks for updating WP:RPP for meI got called away from my computer and forgot to update WP:RPP after I protected Sandi Toksvig. When I got back, I found you had done it for me. Thanx. -- Richard 02:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if University of California, Riverside and related pages should be protected in any way by SummerThunder's sock's? Although that won't stop him from the other vandalism he has done. Momusufan 05:21, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Ahh come on Riana. Why'd you have to go and block Andyvon? :-( He said he liked oranges and Anonymous Dissident and I were about to give him some. :-) I think I'm going to have to oppose you're godness for being a cosmic kill joy ;-). Maybe I'll file a complain with Zeus. ~ Wikihermit 05:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
An impersonator editing article on you like you had a Wikiabuse.com address. [1]. Take care. Thank you for participating in my RfA. It was successful, and I am now, may God have mercy on us all, an administrator. Look at all the new buttons! I had heard about 'protect,' 'block user,' and 'delete,' but no one told me about 'kill,' 'eject,' and 'purée.' I appreciate the trust the community has in me, and I'll try hard not to delete the main page or block Jimbo. - FisherQueen ( Talk) 17:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC) Hi Riana. Not sure who to ask but I'm sure you'll have thoughts on this... I'd like to propose semi-protection of all 366 pages corresponding to calendar dates. I guess my question is two-fold. First, do you think this makes any sense? Secondly, even if you do think it makes sense, you and I just can't decide this without consulting a wider audience, so where do you think that discussion should take place? Village pump perhaps? In any case, let me quickly state my case if you're skeptical of such a move. First, all of these pages are heavily vandalized. Of course, the volume of vandal edits is fairly low but the ratio of constructive edits is dramatically small. Case in point: January 22 (random choice). There have only been 50 edits in the past two months, more than 40 of which are vandalism or reverts. The other 10 are minor touch-ups performed by established accounts. Moreover, these pages are heavily watched so any talk page request for an edit would be quickly implemented. Anyways, you are, I believe, fairly active at RFPP so your thoughts on the subject would be much appreciated. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 18:09, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. :) Acalamari 02:18, 3 July 2007 (UTC) Thank you so much for your participation in my recent RfB. Though it only 72% of the community seemed to approve of my previously secret "sysop Willy on Wheels" plan, I'm confident that I can achieve 'crathood in a few months, and we can all enjoy having a freshly anointed Willy on Wheels admin and bureaucrat. I'm currently tabulating and calculating all opposing and neutral arguments to help me better address the community's concerns about my abilities as a bureaucrat. If you'd like, you can follow my progress (and/or provide additional suggestions) at User:EVula/admin/RfB notes. Thanks again! EVula // talk // ☯ // 04:08, 3 July 2007 (UTC) Okay, okay.

Thanks for deleting Reeses Peaces. I wasn't really sure what that was. I knew it was WP:NOT, but I wasn't really sure if it was eligible for speedy deletion. After I re-read the page on speedy deletion, I decided it was, in fact, applicable for speedy deletion. I went back to nominate it, and it was gone! hehe Thanks :) Dillard421 08:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Want to come on IRC? -- Deskana (talk) 22:44, 4 July 2007 (UTC) I got zapped by the ultra-motivation thunderbolt! Have a look at the additions I made to Biasing ( before, after). Thats right, almost five pages worth of content and six images! I must apologize, this takes tooting my own horn to another level. Just that its 4.30 in the morning here... As my coach, I felt I must share my insanity with you :) Cheers! xC | ☎ 23:01, 4 July 2007 (UTC) I agree, it's still an annoying page. All he's really done is remove the flags, from what I can see. Now I know my user page isn't exactly pretty, but the colors on his page are not only bad for looking at, but also most of the text is nearly unreadable. Having 9 userboxes right at the top is definitely inappropriate, as is almost all of the content south of his infobox, I see nothing in that that doesn't make me think of myspace. As I've said, I have no problem with him stating his religion on his page, but it's over the top as it is, and that large flag needs to go, as does the potential soapboxing above it. I'd much rather see him have a column of user boxes under his info box (such as my page has) about his religion, or even a short (one-two paragraph) non-soapboxing explanation of his beliefs and what he does on wikipedia (sort of like User:Pastordavid's)... Perhaps it would be best to have him get a myspace, and move his personal opinions and beliefs there, and allow him a Myspace userbox and/or external link, and have him keep his userpage for wikipedia ONLY? -- ʇuǝɯɯoɔ ɐqǝɟ 01:36, 5 July 2007 (UTC) This user User:Reisio is removing no rational templates from various images, check users history [2].

It has come to my attention during one of my frequent consultations of your oh so useful wikipedia that the user with the ip 217.34.46.52 has been vandalising some threads with ridiculous alterations to the original content of the articles. The one i stumbled upon was concerning the greek mythology character Camilla, whose description seemed somewhat... um... inaccurate hehe. Thanks for tanking time to look into the matter.
Riana; you did not leave a message on the talkpage of user:She made love to my cock, which you very reasonably indefblocked. I have put the standard template message on; hope you don't mind.-- Anthony.bradbury "talk" 00:21, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Alcohol + Wikipedia =/= Good editing. :-P — Deckill er 07:28, 6 July 2007 (UTC) I was wondering - how can an editor start a new WikiProject? I wanted to propose a new project, for translation of featured articles in other languages into english (or viceversa, as the case may be). I got the idea looking at the page Erythropoietin, which is a featured article in the Dutch WP - here's the link. If we could simply translate the article, if not an FA, we could definitely have a GA. Has this been proposed before? What do you think about this idea? I'm quite sure that there's a large number of editors bilingual fluent in german, french,etc. This could be a good means of improving the content, with one significant advantage - text all written, images (majority of them) already comply with the required policies, layout, headings, check check - what do you think, is it feasible? Appreciate your feedback, xC | ☎ 11:09, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Sorry... I'd seen other editors do it and figured it was the norm. I won't do it again. Gscshoyru 11:52, 6 July 2007 (UTC) Yes, it is "kosher" and allowed, since it's a template to help guide people around my pages, instead of having the same code beign repeated in many areas. it would be a pain in the bum to have to synchronize and edit ALL the pages involved if it were that way. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 23:55, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

There was recently an IP ( 86.148.189.170 ( talk · contribs)) that was vandalizing user/user talk pages. One of the edits replaced User talk:Daniel with "QST IS INNOCENT". Also, the IP made an 85,000 byte change to User talk:Pats Sox Princess, flooding the page with "no" headers. Shortly after being blocked for 48 hours, the IP posted an unblock request on it's talk page with the reason "Well it might anger me to vandalise more being insulted, please read WP:DFT". I thought you might want to look into this to see if Qst is using IP socks again. Even with the "innocent" edit, I was skeptical about whether or not Qst was behind the IP. The unblock reason sounds, however, like the user has had a lot of experience with this. Just thought you'd like to know :-) -- Nick— Contact/ Contribs 17:15, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much and I wish you a nice day. -- JDitto 19:36, 9 July 2007 (UTC) Pop in one day from vacation and almost everyone seems to be gone! :-( Nice work with the Qst problem; you handled it well. ~ Wikihermit 20:54, 9 July 2007 (UTC) Hi Riana, you're quite welcome. When you can, please look at the suggested solution for the Qst block on WP:ANI, which basically goes along with your idea of a fresh start for Qst, free of ties to his prior usernames. I see it as the fairest way for him and everybody else to move forward from this incident. I'm looking forward to your e-mail! :) -- Kyok o 00:35, 10 July 2007 (UTC) Hi Riana, just as a followup, you'd asked for statements from everyone involved at Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/Danah Boyd.

Seeing as you seem to know much of what is to be known around here, I have a question for you: I am curious as to how I am to positively identify myself in the unlikely event my account is compromised. I have seen the admin news and am curious as to how I can do that. I hope I am not imposing! Jmlk 1 7 04:43, 10 July 2007 (UTC) I added a little admin icon on your userpage. I hope you like it.

Hi Riana, sorry to bug you, but your summary statement for me is incorrect -- I believe that the article should be at Danah Boyd, which may have been confusing since I listed my responses to common arguments against having the article at Danah Boyd. I believe each of the arguments in bold are invalid, for the reasons posted below each point. Thanks for taking the time to join our case. -- Renesis ( talk) 15:41, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Happy editing! Riana, may I ask your reasons for fully protecting Vladimir Putin page. The page has been living up just fine so far without your intervention, with opponents and proponents providing a good balance to each other and delivering good content in the end. Administrative action that you performed freezes recently added media-fuelled POV that comes without argument. I also see many useful links that were removed recently. If no reason is specified, may I advice you that I will request page unprotection according to normal administrative procedures. If your idea was to calm down hot heads for a moment, please advice me where I could find this and when the page is going to become unprotected again. Cfeet77 20:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Riana. I see some time ago you volunteered to help out with portal reviews. The energy portal was peer reviewed back in March. Since then it has been developed substantially and is now under consideration as a featured portal, but has had remarkably few people contributing to the debate, compared to other candidates. If you have time perhaps you would like to take a look? The candidate page can be found here. Regards Gralo 23:09, 10 July 2007 (UTC) You're one of these admin folks, huh? Well, um, I was just wondering, if you're not too busy, if you could give me some pointers or something sometime, help me become a better Wikipedian. You have been selected for this request after a brief glance over some stuff because you seem like a pretty nice person, who might actually consider helping a poor, useless Wikipedian such as myself. :x Dan 23:58, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Unhappy with the deletion of the Insecula article, partly I admit for egotistical reasons, also because speedy deletions suck and are turning Wikipedia into a less rewarding site for contributors. However, on possibly more concrete grounds, Insecula is a useful resource for anyone researching art, containing hundreds of images and artist biographies, and on those grounds I claim that the article is Notable.
