Your userpage[edit]Hi Riana. I think your page is good and I wouldn't touch it. I have just finished all of my subpages that would be viewed (I am a bit of a geek when it comes to my userpage).

Came across the last (or so) line in ur userpage which has the word 'sucks' linking to the article on Pop Music. Was wondering whether this was intended or if had got through previous vandalism efforts... And so wanted to bring it to ur attn, if neccessary. Ajcfreak 10:39, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Admin coaching (1)[edit]Hi! While my initial plan was to answer the Qs in shifts, I took a break from studying, and ended up answering everything in one go. I've completed all the questions on User:Xcentaur/Admin_coaching. I couldn't really understand what to write in the optional comment bit, I'd said whatever I'd wanted to say within the answers itself, so thats left blank :S Could you have a look whenever you have time? Is it bad to leave that field blank? Erm, I probably should have put these questions in the next section, questions to you, shouldn't I? :P I get rambly and verbose sometimes in long paras, thats one thing I'm concerned about in my answers. Hope you don't fall asleep reading em. Looking forward to your comments. I appreciate it :) Thank you, xC | ☎ 12:10, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Userpage theme[edit]I just wanted to let you know I stole you background color and wanted to know if it was ok with you if not please let me know,thank you for your time Arnon Chaffin Got a message? 14:48, 15 May 2007 (UTC) Ok thank you so much,Take CareArnon Chaffin Got a message? 17:13, 15 May 2007 (UTC) Unprotection of Dorothea Dix[edit]Greetings! I just noticed you unprotected Dorothea Dix and I'd have to say I disagree with your assessment. It meets the criteria for indefinite semi-protection: Biographies subject to vandalism and/or POV-pushing that aren't widely watchlisted. If you look at the history, I'm one of the few people reverting vandalism on that page when it wasn't protected. I've also noticed that most of the IP addresses that do the vandalizing belong to school systems--Dorothea Dix is a popular subject in school history books. Kids get on their school computers and vandalize the page when they're reading up on her. I'd be willing to wait for the vandalism to begin again and ask for semi-protection once more. Thoughts? Cheers, --Rkitko (talk) 16:01, 15 May 2007 (UTC) RfA thanks[edit]Hi Riana, thanks for your support in my RfA, which passed unopposed.

Capade[edit]Hello Riana, I've tried to create an article Capade a bunch of times. I followed the instructions about copyright issues as closely as I could and again it didn't work. Then I got suspended, my page is full of text right now and I have no idea what's going on. What you could help me with is tell me how I can check if the copyright approval for the article Capade has been approved so I can go ahead and make this article. please let me know thank you very much Nikola —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nikola Tucakov (talk • contribs). Many Thanks:[edit]Thanks for signing the petition for me to return from my Wikibreak/Retirement. It was unexpected & I appreciate your kind words. I'm planning to stay away from conflict for a bit, so don't expect to see me around any talk pages etc. I know we've had our arguements in the past, but I'm glad we're still friends on here. Nice new userpage BTW. I like the happy gold guy. ;) Anyway, thanks again for being there. :) Spawn Man 23:46, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Happy 1st WikiBirthday[edit]
Harrison-HB4026 07:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC) Happy Wiki Birthday to you too Riana. Keep up the good work on Wikipedia. See what I put on your alternate account let me know how you like it. Take care. King Lopez Contribs 09:00, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Riana, so first edit days are now called wiki birthdays? Happy wiki birthday! That sounds so much nicer that "Happy first edit day" anyway. I think I owe you a poem or two for your page of poetry. And the smiling, happy Buddha on your new page? I like! --Kyoko 13:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC) Hi! Just noticed that its your "wiki" birthday.... So here's wishing you much more of vandalising...

Admin coaching (2)[edit]Hi! You've only been here a year? Wow! Happy WikiBirthday!! I've replied to your comments, thanks for looking through it so quick. Also got a few questions, but this time I added them on that page itself. Thanks, and happy editing! xC | ☎ 10:49, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Wikibreak?[edit]What is this concept you speak of, "wikibreak"? Seriously, I'm currently "partially active" on Wikipedia, which I guess for me means "active enough to send people messages and check my watchlist, but not active enough to write any new articles recently". You have a good idea about rotating your picture every few weeks. I'll try to think of something for your poetry page, but don't expect anything until at least next week. --Kyoko 13:29, 16 May 2007 (UTC) Response to "SpuriousQ"[edit]Excellent! First I'll need to update my co-nomination a bit first: SpuriousQ has been busy enough that it's out of date already (which is a good thing I guess). Acalamari 16:26, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Help required, if free[edit]Hi. While RC patrolling today, I came across the AIIMS, (a top medical Institute in India) article which had major chunks of possibly damaging/controversial material removed by an anon IP 210.7.93.119. I reverted the edit and then realised that much of the deleted content was actually unverifiable and sounded like a personal commentary on a raging issue. Hence, I dove(or is it dived?!) in head-first and kinda re-wrote the article as much as possible - reformatting the citations and commenting out REALLY harmful, unverifiable stuff. Now the user of the anon IP has left a message [1]. And I've replied to that user [2]. I would like your advise. I definitely do not want you to "step in" or anything. Just advise... as in - did I do somethin wrong? Or was there somethin that I could've done better? Am asking you cos you're one who's really caught my eye. :) Don't worry - me not sitting and worrying. Reply as late as ya wanna... aJCfreak yAkBAk 18:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
question in e-mail[edit]Hi Riana, I've sent you some e-mail.

Userpage content[edit]Are users allowed to put up details of flame throwers on their talk pages? Ahem - User talk:MikeyJ08 Came across this during RCP, thought I'd let you know, an admin's warning is usually more effective in dealing with disputes on what editors can or cannot have in their userspace. Side thought, if I was to send a message about inappropriate content on the talk page, what would be an appropriate message to this user? And what policy should I cite for the same? Thanks,xC | ☎ 19:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Húsönd 21:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC) Thanks also![edit]Hi, Oops... not sure how this happened, but there's a redundant MfD that I closed yesterday Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:User198/WWE. I should have stopped Road Rampage, anyway. I'm chalking that up to either lack of sleep, or general stupidity.

Talk page image[edit]Thanks for fixing the image on my talk page. I acually got the idea from User talk:Khoikhoi But that user does not have the same page layout as mine. So it may have looked like the image was going out of the page. Some people have a widescreen montior others have a normal square montior. So it may look different from everyones point of view. Other people use firefox browser others use internet explorer or safari and the images may look different. You are a genius. I could have not do that myself without copying the code from another user. Thanks Riana. Take care. King Lopez Contribs 02:32, 18 May 2007 (UTC) List of inventions[edit]Hi! These pages - List of United States inventions, List of Chinese inventions.
My question is this - is AfD appropriate for this? Or shall I first goto their respective portals and try to get someone to have a look? As an editor, what do you think about these two pages? Regards,xC | ☎ 06:10, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Sadiqabad[edit]Hi! I came across this page on RCP - Sadiqabad. The page was a mess, I did a massive cleanup(before,after). While some of the content may have some encyclopedic merit, most of it is tooting for the famous families mentioned there. Also, there are no references at all and the page as a whole is unverifiable. I'd like to add here that Jimbo set a good example by blanking Ron Jeremy for being wholly unsourced (this edit,talk page note). However, its clear that someone somewhere has spent a lot of time on this article. Removing statements that have no references would reduce this article to a substub. It hurts to remove someone's hard work. What do I do? Its obvious that this is a less-visited (if at all) page. I'd appreciate your guidance in this. Best,xC | ☎ 07:18, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/SpuriousQ[edit]Hi! Just for kicks, how come on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/SpuriousQ, SpuriousQ has answered questions without indicating acceptance of the nom? :P xC | ☎ 07:24, 18 May 2007 (UTC) Admin coaching (3)[edit]Hi! Thanks for the questions, I just completed replying to the vandalism test, please do have a look whenever you're free. Also, I just realised that it might be better if I ask you all these questions on that page itself, otherwise I'll end up cluttering your user talk. I've come across some strange things on RCP, wanted to ask you about those as well... I'll post em there. Cheers!xC | ☎ 10:05, 18 May 2007 (UTC) Thank you![edit]Thank you, your comments about my sig, the comments mean a lot to me, I asked User:Phaedriel for the code and she designed it and I made one or two changes and began using it, its her I should thank, and you as well! Again, thank you! — The Sunshine Man 10:24, 18 May 2007 (UTC) Hi[edit]Hey there, No, this isn't yet another question, don't worry :) Well not exactly - I posted another four questions on User:Xcentaur/Admin coaching, please have a look whenever you have time. I apologize if it seems I'm turning that page into a question-answer forum. Honestly, these are questions related to problems I've seen crop up multiple times. You have enough work as it is, I don't want to add more to it, so I'm making sure I don't post any one-off things (except the flamethrower ... that doesn't happen often) or anything that can be looked at by any random editor. Erm, perhaps these answers are somewhat like template to-dos, so if something of the same sort comes up again in the future, I know what to do. At the moment, in a few situations, I'm not all that sure about what should be done, but with your help thats changing :) Frequently on RCP its the same sort of things again and again, so any guidance on these problems would be a huge help.

Refs[edit]Hey Riana. Quick question; do all references need a "Retrieved on" date? In the 50 Cent page, none of them have any, although one editor says they should have it since all FAs do. Spellcast 16:14, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Re: Your edit to User:Kelly Martin[edit]I agree that it is usually not a done thing to edit other people's user page without their permission. I also agree that using a user's talk page would be the courteous thing to do. But, (isn't there always a but) I didn't want to create any fuss. It looks like there is frequently a lot of (I can't think of a good word to describe it, "fuss" maybe. But I don't exactly like that term because it is belittling of the "fussers" which I do not intend) on the talk page and I didn't want to cause any. I left the text unchanged, it continued to say: "For more righteous indignation, see my blog", I removed only the offending link. I see a user linking to their own blog on which they select "Today's Worst Wikipedian in the World" and go on to name one as violating the word and intent of the Wikipedia policies against harassing another user. Such a link has no place in an encylopedia and does nothing to forward the purpose of "creating and distributing a multilingual free encyclopedia of the highest quality to every single person on the planet in their own language" Uncle uncle uncle 21:07, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

re: Knight Whitefire[edit]Oh, dang - I just looked at those edits and yeah, I may have been too hasty in undoing his work, which seem to be perfectly acceptable. The fact that he was removing whole sections and most of (if not all) his edits were in talk space kind put me off at first. I guess I was just overreacting.

I have all the copyright for the images and any of the text that comes from the www.capademusic.com Let me know if there is anything else I need to do. thank you very much Nikola Tucakov 08:23, 20 May 2007 (UTC) No, no[edit]Ack, no Riana darling, I was just trying to be funny. Seriously, I quite enjoy people taking out their frustrations or whatever, I wasn't annoyed, not in the slightest. Apologies for the confusion, I'm sorry. Moreschi Talk 11:06, 20 May 2007 (UTC) Template question[edit]Hey Riana, I hope all is well :) I ran across a template while cleaning up a page - Template:StrategyWiki. It provides links to an external Wiki, which looks very small but I can't say for sure how many editors they have. I guess it's some strategy site for video games. The template provides both a link to the games article on that Wiki, and to StrategyWiki itself. Looking in the history, it seems to have been created by people who are active users at StrategyWiki. I smell a bit of conflict of interest, and wonder if the links/template are even appropriate. Some advice? :) Thanks Wikidan829 13:53, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
I didn't look at the others, but StrategyWiki was created and mostly edited by User:Prod, who there happens to be a sysop on StrategyWiki by that name. I just want to make sure this is all legit. Also, even if the template is legit, should it provide a separate external link to the main web page, that is generic and has no relevance to the article? Thanks! Wikidan829 14:29, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
