Note on WP:RFPP[edit]Thanks for giving me the link. It is not easy to find, seeing as there is no link from either WP:VAND or Header[edit]In 3....2....1.... 193.40.23.124's Deletion Comment[edit]HI! I have made a page about my senior and Indian Scientist Gyaneshwer Chaubey and it seems that you have deleted the page. Could you tell me the reason?
The page was deleted under speedy deletion criteria A7, which allows for the deletion of unremarkable people, including academics. A guideline for inclusion for academics is set out at WP:PROF. PhD students without significant expertise in their area of work are not included. However, if you can rewrite the article with verifiable external sources to assert the subject's notability, the article may be included, or it may still be deleted as failing Wikipedia's inclusion criteria for individuals. I also cannot believe that you wrote the article for your senior, judging by your username. If you wish to include personal information on your userpage, you may do so. Please ask me if you have further questions. Cheers, – riana_dzasta 22:22, 5 March 2007 (UTC) Thanks![edit]Thanks for your support on my RfA. It passed with 55/0/0. I'll try my best to be worthy of the trust the community has put in me. If there are any of my actions you have a problem with or a question about, please feel free to discuss this with me and if needed to revert me. If there is anything else I can help you with (backlogs, comments, ...), you can always contact me on my talk page. Fram 14:59, 5 March 2007 (UTC) Hay...[edit]thanks for blocking that vandal.

Perhaps when you get a chance you could put some finishing touches on it. Vicarious 09:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
McDonald's[edit]Hi. I didn't edit the McDonald's article as you say in your message! Please explain. Milton25 10:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC) Additional: According to the my contributions log I did, but I had not even visited the McDonald's page by that time. I have subsequently done so, but I have not editted it, nor do I have any interest in doing so. I am not yet familiar enough with the way previous edits are presented to determine what I am supposed to have done, so perhaps you could help me understand this further. Thanks.

Re: CAT: AOR[edit]Thanks for reminding me! I completely forgot when I redid my userpage (for personal reasons). Thanks again! ~ Arjun 12:45, 8 March 2007 (UTC) Hey![edit]Thanks for welcoming me, Riana! I really do appreciate it. I have seen the links before, but they'll be more helpful when they are handy when I need them. Good day! Zamkudi 13:41, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi[edit]I just saw [2]] and stopped to say hello to you. Hellooooo. --Bhadani 15:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC) Request[edit]Please do not delete the picture of the Dell headquarters. I attached a link that clearly indicates that there is no copyright infringement. Indiscriminate editing of wikipedia reduces its usefulness. Thank You —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.212.95 (talk) 17:19, 8 March 2007 (UTC).
RFCN[edit]Weary grin...rather silly, but the irony is certainly amusing. It's been allowed, anyway. We just don't have to enforce the username policy that strictly: there's a balance to be struck between bad usernames and just letting good-faith contributors contribute. Username policy/guideline is not like WP:ATT, which we simply have to stick to, otherwise things fall apart. Even if strict adherence to WP:ATT drives away good-faith contributors, it's a price we have to pay for a reputable encyclopedia. But...usernames? Blimey. Looking forward to the cricket world cup, anyway. Our form picked up quite considerably at the end Down Under, though winning the one-dayers was no consolation for you darned Aussies thrashing us in the Ashes. Cheers, Moreschi Request a recording? 19:55, 8 March 2007 (UTC) Admin channel[edit]Sure, just poke me when you're on IRC (I'm usually in #wikipedia-en as Shanel or Shannie) Make sure you register your nick too; riana_dzasta appears not to be registered. :)--§hanel 22:23, 8 March 2007 (UTC) Love your header :)[edit]See above :) Cheers, Daniel Bryant 04:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
New South Wales University Theatrical Society[edit]Thanks for the heads up on the previous AFD; I hadn't noticed it. Would you mind examining my other speedy deletion nominations? I am assessing a lot of articles about student organizations and tagging the non-notable ones. --Future Fun Jumper (TIC) 11:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC) Featured!!![edit]Hi Riana! The portal got featured status today. Thabks dear for everything. Without you, S.D. and Mr Niyogi, it could not have been possible. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 14:10, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
RE advice[edit]Thanks for the advice you gave me about RfA. I read through User:Riana dzasta/RfA, and I'm pretty sure that I meet all of your criteria; in particular, I'm a very active participant in XfDs. You don't cite a specific editcount that you look for in an admin candidate; would my 3,200 edits be sufficient? Also, do you think I have enough experience across all areas? (My weak point is that I only have 38 WP talkspace edits, and virtually none to categories, templates or images - however, I'm working on my WT edits through participation in policy discussions, and from looking at past RfAs it doesn't look like lack of image or template experience is often brought up as a reason to oppose.) Thanks again for your help! Walton Vivat Regina! 21:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Nathan's latest game...[edit]I know I still owe you an email and it's coming soon...I promise. :) Also, I just noticed this. Thank you kindly, ma'am. It made my day, er, morning. :) Sarah 16:29, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Re: Messages left on RfA nominees' talk pages[edit]Hi Meteoroid! I don't want to sound like I'm censoring you or telling you off, but I don't know if this sort of message is very nice - I noticed you left one on Chacor's page too. Trust me, when someone is on RfA, they're checking it every so often, so they know if thye're passing or failing - and the way you phrase it sounds, well, kinda mean. Maybe a recommendation to withdraw, politely, something along the lines of "It looks like your request is unlikely to reach consensus. Have you considered withdrawing?" would probably be a bit nicer. Thanks, and I hope you don't take offense. Cheers, – riana_dzasta 09:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

User:89.175.96.226[edit]Hi, FYI I noticed you put a 41-hour block on User:89.175.96.226, but he's straight back to vandalism on expiry: North Korea and weapons of mass destruction ("The strategy used by the koreans was to pull stuff out of their ass, and make bombs."), and just plain silliness to Fragile X syndrome, The Rasmus. Are you interested in doing another block? (Personally I'm so fed up with IP vandalism, that I'd support banning no-login edits to any previously vandalised page.)

Perhaps you can explain how one should classify a widely-distributed publicity photo. This photo was circulated by Edmonton Transit, under my supervision as Marketing Officer. However, I was not the photographer. The Wikipedia categories do not seem clearly worded in dealing with something released by a government, other than the United States government, for public education or promotional purposes. The point in the city spending money to prepare and distribute this photo was to make it available to the public. It seems peculiar for Wikipedia then to deny it to the public. I have other relevant photos that were produced for similar reasons -- intended for publications before the Internet was in common use -- and it is sad to think that these would remain in a drawer because I did not personally photograph them. --rwr-- Rw rynerson 15:37, 12 March 2007 (UTC) Seraphimblade's RFA[edit]Thank you for your support on my recent request for adminship, and the congratulations. :) Seraphimblade Talk to me Please review me! 01:25, 13 March 2007 (UTC) User:William Guillot's blank page[edit]You will notice also that User:William Guillot only has two edits: one to add a biography to his/her user page, one to blank his/her user page. There seems to me to be no point in having a blank user page and only two contributions only to that user page. --Iamunknown 02:53, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Why is everyone I know changing names? Wizardry Dragon --> Peter M Dodge, Deco --> Dcoetzee, you to Riana... maybe I should switch to Ayelie as everyone thinks Editor at Large is a fat male.

Using of Layout?[edit]I have used the layout from your user page, for my user page and I was making sure that was okay with you. I changed the colors, background border size, font, and text (obviously), but I still want to make sure you are okay with it. If you are not okay with it, please contact me at my user talk page, and I would be happy to change it. Thanks very much. Chickyfuzz14 01:13, 14 March 2007 (UTC) My RfA[edit]Hi Riana. I see that you couldn't help changing your name, could you? Well, I'm here to thank you regardless, for your nice comment in my RfA. Rest assured that I heard every voice loud and clear during the discussion, and will strive to use the mop carefully and responsibly. Please don't hesitate to give me constructive criticism anytime.

Thanks![edit]Thanks for the congratulations - belatedness is not a problem at all. I'm just surprised that so many people are paying attention! Natalie 03:41, 15 March 2007 (UTC) Regarding "Wah Yan College Cats"[edit]About your deletion of Wah Yan College Cats, I would like to know whether it was deleted following the standard speedy deletion procedure or not (I was not notified in my talk page). Thanks! --Raphaelmak 10:29, 15 March 2007 (UTC) Ah yes, what actually is the HagermanBot? --Raphaelmak 11:29, 15 March 2007 (UTC) I also doubt that Wah Yan College Cats is of "Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content". If it is of Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content, it wouldn't be even reported in Hong Kong newspapers. See the following newspaper cuttings for reference. (Sorry most of them are in Chinese, but this is the main language used in Hong Kong, thus asserting importance)
I hope you will appreciate the above point. Cheers, --Raphaelmak 11:57, 15 March 2007 (UTC) Hi[edit]How are ya doing? :) ~ Arjun 14:22, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Rapu-related deletes: thanks and a note/question.[edit]Thanks for cleaning up the Rapu-related items I tagged recently. There is a remaing category, Category:Rapu, that most of this stuff was in. It's all related, but I didn't know how to tag the category because none of the tags listed on WP:CSD seemed to fit (suggestions for future cases would be welcome!). The category contains a couple of pictures. I am suggesting the category and images should be deleted also. Thanks ✤ JonHarder talk 23:50, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
