[edit] Interview

I am trying to find a wikipedia administrator who would readily do an interview for a research project I am conducting from the perspective of a wikipedia insider. If you'd like to do this, please email me at goat77 (AT) gmail.com—Preceding unsigned comment added by goat77 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Re: Doctor Wikipedian

[17:55:30] <Dmcdevit> [JerryVanF has] been switching his ISPs and such. That guy is in on Dereks1x's range, and Doctor Wikipedian is on another Seattle-area ISP, and there are a couple other accounts two, and I think they are all Derks1x.

I took note of the geographical match and blocked based on obvious behavior. east.718 at 23:46, May 16, 2008

[edit] YRUU Redux

I just recreated the Young Religious Unitarian Universalists article, as promised. Let's hope this one stays around longer than its predecessor. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 17:10, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Great! :) Aleta ^Sing 17:14, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

And thank you for cleaning up the article. This whole Wiki code thing is very confusing to my itty-bitty brain. Some day I'll learn it (I hope). Ecoleetage (talk) 17:25, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome! Don't worry, it'll come gradually: just copy code you like, using preview until you get it right! Aleta ^Sing 17:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

• PS You are one of the very few people here on WP who showed me any degree of respect in the past week (I feel like the Wiki equivalent of Rodney Dangerfield). In appreciation:

		The Special Barnstar
		For making a fellow UU feel at home on WP. Ecoleetage (talk) 16:37, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I don't know what's going on where you're getting disrespect, but we all have disagreements here - it's inevitable if you have an opinion you care about. Hang in there. (Is there anything with which you need help?) Aleta ^Sing 20:40, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

If there are any other UU-related articles that need writing or expanding, please let me know. Cheers. Ecoleetage (talk) 22:41, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, to answer your question (almost forgot) -- there was just a skein of what I perceived to be as patronizing comments regarding my research skills and grasp of WP policy. I guess people seem to think the articles write themselves. I was also peeved that one editor who was supposed to be a mentor said he would give me a barnstar for the work I've done to date (it would've been the first I was given, rather than earned for silly WP-style competitions), but he reneged on his promise -- not a classy thing, in my book. That sort of muck leaves a sour residue. But life wobbles on... Thanks for listening. Ecoleetage (talk) 22:49, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, a bit of good news: I got my first WP:GA -- for Pontius Pilate's wife. Mrs. Pilate would've been a great UU, I think. Ecoleetage (talk) 23:04, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations! Good for you. :) Aleta ^Sing 00:18, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

• My YRUU article just received a Did You Know? citation! Woo-woo! 00:35, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

That's great! Aleta ^Sing 14:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AFD close and merge for Pup-play

I've closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pup-play with a result of merge, based on the arguments that you and Voyager640 (talk · contribs) put forth. I asked Voyager640 to help merge Pup-play (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) into Human animal roleplay (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) since I'm not familiar with the topic and since I can't tell what parts of it are reliably sourced or not. Would you be willing to help Voyager640 with the merge? Thanks. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 15:56, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] One more for the UUs

Now online: Fourth Universalist Society of New York. It's a lovely old church, too! Ecoleetage (talk) 21:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Cool! Interesting article. Thanks for writing it! Aleta ^Sing 02:10, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

And thank you for your input on the article, too! Ecoleetage (talk) 02:42, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I had some free time during the midday period, so here's another one for the UUs: First Unitarian Church of Honolulu. It's a bit of a stub. However, I made an effort to do the referencing correctly (I hope I got the knack of it). Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 17:32, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Great, yep you got the referencing right. You know there's a section called "New articles" at WP:UU? You should list these you've created! Aleta ^Sing 17:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Done deal! Thanks again! More fun stuff to follow... Ecoleetage (talk) 18:03, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

• P.S. I tried my hand at Barnstar creation on the WikiProject UU page. Please let me know what you think. Ecoleetage (talk) 18:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

This article just received Did You Know? recognition! Ecoleetage (talk) 17:24, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Another one? Cool! Aleta ^Sing 14:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey U

I took some pictures of that beautiful UU church I mentioned a few weeks ago: Image:All Souls Unitarian Church.JPG, Image:All Souls Unitarian Church 2.JPG, Image:Steeples in Columbia Heights.JPG. This is the church in the background of that last pic. APK ^{yada yada} 00:35, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Wonderful! I see you've already added them to the article. They certainly improve it. :) Aleta ^Sing 02:00, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] John Frusciante

Aleta, I don't know who else to ask-- the John Frusciante page had a barnstar rating, but now...!! It sucks. There's no flow; repetitive facts, and too many cooks spoiling the pot. This was only me casually reading it, too. Can you look at it, and if you agree with me, tag it? It certainly shouldn't be an FA. Thanks. --leahtwosaints (talk) 10:40, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I'll take a look, Leah. Aleta ^Sing 14:46, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!! --leahtwosaints (talk) 23:07, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tag Removal & User:Thomasalazar

Aleta,

I am asking for your help, assistance, and input:

Removing tags from articles without fixing the reason that article was tagged amounts to vandalism. Please join this discussion: Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts#User:Thomasalazar

You did this edit and Thomasalazar came right behind you and removed it again.

This user is rude and does whatever he wants. Thanks, ~ WikiDon (talk) 06:08, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Expanding Yarrow.

There are 2 reasons that I have not attempted to expand the Yarrow article in the past, The first one is that I came to the article via an Rfc and did not think that being bold would be appropriate. The second one is that when I started the operation respect article You were the only other person from the Yarrow article to show any interest whatsoever.

With that said let me say that I am more than willing to contribute to expanding the Yarrow article if that is what they want. But I pushed for mediation because I knew that we had go there first if we wanted arbcom to deal with the disruption. Anyway thanks for weighing back in and helping to get Jkp back on board. I hope it all works out without having to file Rfcs and seeking arbitration. I really do. Albion moonlight (talk) 23:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I have un-retired

Please disregard my last e-mail. I have decided to give WP another go. Thanks for your support! Ecoleetage (talk) 15:34, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Query re User Pages

Is there a wikipedia policy which goes something like WP is not My Space or something...? I'm not sure, only I came across one User:AntonioMartin on account of some self-referenced gibberish put on the Oral Roberts Talk Page and I wondered.... Thanks! Plutonium27 (talk) 04:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Yep, WP:Myspace will get you there. :) Aleta ^Sing 04:23, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Ha, I didn't know you were awake and I replied on his talk page. :) It's WP:NOTMYSPACE. APK ^{yada yada} 04:26, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Its Her Talk Page btw :} Plutonium27 (talk) 04:28, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Um, there was no need for that comment. I simply thought Aleta was asleep and wouldn't read your question until tomorrow. I was trying to help. APK ^{yada yada} 04:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

No worries! Thanks for the correction, APK! Aleta ^Sing 04:53, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] LGBT Newsletter

I left a message on Dev920's page, but I have no idea where she is. I've written a newsletter for June and I hope to have it sent out in the next few days. I'm assuming that Satyrbot is no longer working, so I asked for help in sending it out to our members and User:Stepshep has volunteered its bot to assist. So, like I'm splashing all over the site today, I don't know what I'm doing. If you know of a different thing I should do, let me know. Also, I thought I had to register or something - who knows what I do? I created an account called MoniBot, I think. Ha. As if I wouldn't somehow make the planet explode by trying to do my own script. If the almighty admin could delete that account, I'd appreciate it. --Moni3 (talk) 20:03, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey Moni, I don't think there is any such thing as account deletion. I could block the account, but since you aren't making any edits with it (much less disruptive ones) and there's nothing wrong with the username, I don't think there's any point in blocking it. If I'm missing something, let me know!

Thank you for doing a newsletter! That's great! I'll look at the proect and newsletter pages. Aleta ^Sing 20:28, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Then let's vandalize MoniBot's page. <snicker> The newsletter is here.--Moni3 (talk) 20:34, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
