Regarding the Duran Remzi Page

My deepest apologies for the nonsense. I expected it to be deleted, even though in truth it is not nonsense but rather a code deecipherable only to one person and intricrated with other seperate codes to fool any other individual who may try and crack it. In fact Duran Remzi in truth is an anagram. What the code is, I cannot tell you, it is up to you to decipher it. Though only one man I believe will be able to crack this complex conendrum, and the oage was indeed intended for him.

My apologies

fame and fortune no doubt

Nice write-up in today's Times! Tvoz |talk 15:08, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

That's the New York Times, right? I missed it in my hardcopy paper, what section? Is it online? --CliffC 15:29, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Yup. New York Times magazine section. And see this. Tvoz |talk 15:41, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Congrats :) Are you at all miffed about any possible backlash? Fvasconcellos (t·c) 15:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
What could they do, vandalize her page?  :-) --CliffC 15:50, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

I noticed that as well, cool! Dina 02:02, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Excellent work, Natalie Erin! :) Acalamari 03:04, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Congrats again Natalie! ⇒ SWATJester Denny Crane. 14:25, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism on Joan Chittester page

Natalie, user Msbpr has blanked large parts of the page on Sr. Joan Chittester again. You have warned this user twice previously on their talk page about blanking parts of this article and yet twice in the past 24 hours I've had to revert his/her blanking. Is there anything further you can do? Sigil7 12:32, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Returning imposters

FYI, User:Nate1481 has a new wave of imposters, linked to the ones you blocked earlier in June. Two were blocked yesterday, after they gave themselves away by creating blank user pages for some of those that you had blocked earlier. Did the checkuser come back with an obvious IP range? --Steve (Stephen) talk 23:42, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


Chung Hwa (Pencil)

Greetings,
you recently deleted a a newly established thread called 'Chung Hwa (Pencil)' for purposes of supposed adveritisng and promotion.Quoting the text, it said: "Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Promotional articles about yourself, your friends, your company or products, or articles created as part of a marketing or promotional campaign, will be deleted in accordance with our deletion policies."
I found this confusing. What difference is there between such an article and for arguments sake 'Cadbury Dairy Milk' or the 'Kellogs Company' article.This shows blatent double standards and bias towards larger, multi-millionaire companies, which for a public domain such as Wikipedia is unacceptable.Wikipedia is a great website and very benefitial however i cannot agree with this deletion and would appreciate it if the Chung Hwa (pencil) thread could be restored.

Your help with a page you edited

Natalie, I'm kind of a noob. I saw you'd edited a page I was editing and was wondering if you could look at the Prepme talk page and could answer my question about how to capitalize it correctly on Wikipedia. Take care. --BerkelyGoogler 21:05, 4 July 2007 (UTC)


Cobo

Hi. I created a disambiguation page under the name Cobo to help users who search fro specific people. I noticed you deleted a page with this name in April. Was I right to re-create the page or did I make a mistake? -- Magioladitis 08:32, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hi there; I note that your page has been vandalised 198 times. How did you accumulate this impressive total? My score is still slightly under a hundred (I stopped tabulating at 75) And I have been here longer than you have. We are both admins. What am I doing wrong?? --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:57, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back

Welcome back Natalie Erin. :) Hope you had a good trip. Acalamari 21:40, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) Don't worry about missing my RfA; you mentioning it is good enough for me. Anyway, you were on vacation. :) It passed with a surprising final tally of 104/1/1. Acalamari 01:34, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia Questions

Hi,

I am an Assistant Professor of Information Systems at Boston College, and I am researching the development of the Wikipedia article on the Virginia Tech Massacre. You were among the top 2% of editors for that article, and I was wondering if you’d be willing to answer a few questions by email. Please also indicate at the bottom if you’d be willing to participate in a short follow-up phone/Skype interview as well.

All of your responses and your participation will be confidential. Please cut and paste the below questions and respond by email to gerald.kane@bc.edu to ensure confidentiality.

I appreciate your help on this project, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Please also let me know if you are interested in receiving a copy of the paper when it is finished.

Thank You, Gerald C (Jerry) Kane, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Information Systems Carroll School of Management Boston College 140 Commonwealth Ave 326 Fulton Hall Chestnut Hill, MA 02478


Questions: 1) On average, how many hours per week do you spend editing articles on Wikipedia? 2) Why do you contribute your time and energy to developing Wikipedia articles? 3) What types of articles to which do you typically contribute? 4) Why did you choose to become involved in the Wikipedia article on the Virginia Tech Massacre? 5) What was your primary role in the process of creating the article on the Virginia Tech Massacre (e.g. copy editing, fighting vandalism, contributing news, managing a particular section, etc?) 6) How was your experience with this article similar to or different than other Wikipedia articles to which you have contributed? 7) What were some of the most challenging issues facing the successful development of this particular article on the Virginia Tech Massacre? 8) What do you think were some of the primary reasons that this article was successful (i.e. cited in the press, nominated as a “featured article.”) 9) Is there anything else I should know about the Wikipedia article on the VT massacre? 10) Would you be willing to participate in a short phone/Skype interview to talk more about your experience with the article (if yes, I will follow up later by email to arrange it).

Fred and George

I explained the reason behind my edit on the talk page. I admit I could be mistaken. Faithlessthewonderboy 02:56, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Of all the other HP character pages I've seen, none list their birth and death dates at the beginning of the article. And I also read in a discussion on a talk page of that "rule" although I don't know if the user knew what they were talking about or not. I've looked, and all I was able to find was a policy that says fictional characters generally should not have dates listed at all, regardless of position on the page. Faithlessthewonderboy 03:02, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

User:Trainboyyeah

Thank you for recently reverting the vandalism to the New Rave page. I have placed a warning message on the user's talk page. --SteelersFan UK06 03:36, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

As said above, you dealt with Trainboyyeah's multiple acts of vandalism. Well done to you! SteelersFan UK06 03:50, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Question

I've noticed a lot of replies on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gellert Grindelwald (which you created), and frankly I think many of them were asked to vote keep there. Could you place the tag that warns against that on the AFD debate? Harry Potter is popular, but I somehow doubt all these people came on their free will to vote on it. I think the same should happen to many other Harry Potter AFD's as well. RobJ1981 16:59, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I wasn't sure what the actual tag was (as I hadn't seen it on an AFD that I commented in for a bit). I'm checking other Harry Potter AFDs now, and putting it on them. Frankly this is out of hand. A popular subject doesn't justify solo articles for every character in the newest book. The movie article for the newest book shouldn't exist in article form either at this point. Confirmed yes: but little information (about the movie itself) makes it a place where people will speculate/original research a lot I bet. RobJ1981 17:08, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Minor Harry Potter characters seems to be an issue as well. 37 entries (there was 38, but I removed one, that no one has added back yet...but I wouldn't be surprised if someone re-added it). Some sort of notability needs to be asserted for minor people as well. Plus there is minor lists for each house, and Quidditch in the Potter series. Each of which have an "others" section, which seems to be a dumping ground for anyone that is even more minor than every on the page. Massive cleanup of some sort is needed, and I'm not sure why the Harry Potter project seems to be helping. Perhaps they are? But it just doesn't appear that way. Fiction cruft, fan cruft and just plain Harry Potter cruft is running wild. RobJ1981 17:36, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Farkle vs. Farkel

Hi, you just did a speedy revert on my first attempt at cleaning up the neglected farkel/farkle pages (it's a dice game that goes by two different names). I've just researched the internet sites on scoring and play variants, and I'm prepared to work up an article that is not as weaselly as the current one, and that is referenced.

My first move (attempted) was to reverse the existing redirects (farkle redirects to farkel), because the more widespread (over twice as many google hits) and older spelling is farkle. Farkel was a deliberate misspelling by an outfit that markets a game called Pocket Farkel. Given the above, it seems perverse to have farkle redirect to farkel. I tried to rectify the situation by cutting the existing text of the farkel article and pasting it into the farkle article, and then redirecting farkel to farkle, as it should be. My next step was to improve the cut-and-pasted text, but I'm going to wait on that until I'm assured that you'll let me proceed.

If you can think of a better way of reversing the redirect, by all means do so or let me know how. If not, would you please not revert my changes? Thanks. Jbening

Fair enough, but I've just registered and I've never performed the move operation. Don't I have to wait four days before I can? And can't you do this? Would you please, if you won't let me do it the way I had?
Thank you for doing that--man you're quick with responses! Yes, I've edited a few articles before as an unregistered IP address (just never bothered to register). I registered this time because I was going to be making more wholesale changes and so wanted to be accountable to other users (my IP addresses seem to change from time to time). My previous edits had been minor, but I've been watching discussions of pages enough to have read a bit of the rules (though apparently not the cut-and-paste one!). Thanks again.
Thanks much! Will do: the Pocket Farkel webpage acknowledges that they changed the spelling to distinguish themselves, so I'll cite that.

Atlantean Language Institute

A page I began on The Atlantean Language institute was deleted for not stating the significance of the institute. I simply had used the Klingon Language Institute as a template. I believe a mistake has been made - I was to use that article as a springboard for the Vulcan Language Institute, which is unrepresented overtly in this encyclopedia.

Epigraphist 03:44, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

What about my contributions to the other newpage moderator's site?

Epigraphist 04:00, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

The article was deleted without anyone reading my explaination. I followed all the steps you gave me.

My page matched the Klingon Language Institute in detail and it remains. That is the third site ever on the Atlantean language, and the second of two that remain in existance. It's important for the information that it contains and it's important for its being rare. I am the foremost scholar on the language, though my degree is in the Humanities.

I was going to use that page as a spring board for a new article on the brother site to The Atlantean Language Institute, The Vulcan Language Institute. I feel very frustrated. I was doing the Encyclopedia a service by providing articles related to Marc Okrand's languages.

.

Epigraphist 04:13, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I'll admit, it's not a very important language internationally. But it has the potential. And it's certainly important to me. I may just be starting my career as a linguist, but I'm still a linguist, albeit one in training. Atlantean is my inspiration. The Klingon Language Institute is one of my inspirations in popularizing a language, as is The Vulcan Language Institute.

Is it that I didn't site sources? I was hoping just to get the article started, to get the information out there.

Epigraphist 04:05, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

It contains new dictionaries for the language available no where else, rare lessons in the language, and a history of it in the form of a letter to the reader... convinced?

Epigraphist 04:02, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Are you still online? Do you have a higher-up to whom you answer to? I would like to make a complaint against the action taken on my article, and make it to your higher-up.

Epigraphist 04:15, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I thank you for your help. I am startled at your and Nyttend's unkindness toward me in the whole debacle. I am not a criminal nor a monster, and even if I was, all humans have inate dignity that is recognized by kindness in a singular way. I think Wikipedia would be better served and your job would fare easier if you were kinder more often. A single Random Act of Kindness Star is not something one can sit on and say, "This is what makes me kind and easy to interact with." Thank you once again for what edifying work you have done. Hopefully this interaction would not sour future interactions should we meet again.

Hurt and forgiving, Epigraphist 18:30, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Deleting My Pages

Thanks for doing that. I was wondering, would it be ok for me to delete my main userpage, but then re-create it again? I want to clear it out from my contribs, and my edit count is inflated because in my early days I had no idea how to use the preview button. There is nothing bad I've done, or any reason to save the history, so no worries there. The only people who have edited the page is me, some vandals, and me as an IP after I realized I didn't want to inflate my count more. The reason I ask is because another admin wasn't sure if that was kosher neccesarily. You deleted my other pages, so I thought you might have a better idea. Do you know? Thanks again. i (said) (did) 04:17, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm so sorry to ask you this, but can you undelete my pages? I took all of the code and put it in another file, so I could incorporate it again once the pages were deleted. However, my computer shut down, and I lost it. You don't have to restore them if theres another way for me to get the code, but I would greaty appreciate getting it. Again, I'm sorry about that. i (said) (did) 04:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
And there are always problems aren't there? Lol when you restored the pages, the CSD tag was restored with it as well, and they were deleted again. The admin who deleted them is on a wikibreak, so I can't ask him. Also, I wasn't ready for my userpage to be deleted yet. Sorry I'm being a bother, if you could just restore them quickly, I'll get the code and I'll tag them again. Thanks. i (said) (did) 20:07, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Ok. All done. I've tagged them. Thanks again for your help. Appreciate it i (said) (did) 21:40, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

More vandalism

Hi, I need help from an admin who has had experience with this IP address, see: User_talk:206.213.251.31#July_2007. Someone there has previously vandalized pages, and you blocked them, but they vandalized other pages since that time. Can you help, Obi-Wan Natalie-Erin? Bearian 18:06, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks anyway, another sysop blocked it for 7 hours. Bearian 18:33, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Photos

Thanks for offering to take pictures around town. I'm not sure how to prioritize; I'd say just take what's convenient and what you're interested in. I assume you've seen THIS and Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Minnesota. These are some I'd like to see replaced, just for quality:

  • Image:Loring-Park-Minneapolis-2005-11-08.jpg, which is Charles Loring's office
  • Image:Woodburycityhall.jpg. This is one of mine. The weather was lousy that day and the picture is lousy too.
  • Image:Lakewood Chapel.jpg could be substantially better

I hope some of these interest you.--Appraiser 18:50, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Como zoo could use some pictures, the sparky pic will be deleted soon. There are many state parks without pics. I'll try and think of other things as well. -Ravedave 19:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I did see the requested photos category and the short list and scribbled down ones I think I can get relatively soon. I also have family in St. Peter I'll be visiting while I'm here, so I should be able to take some photos of the town and the high school and maybe even Mankato. We can probably replace the photo of Charles Loring's house today but I don't think I have a good enough camera or enough technical skill to replace some of the other photos. I was wondering exactly what the problem with the Mill Ruins photo is. Lastly, I have no idea how to get a pd photo of Brian Coyle, so in the meantime I though I could take a photo of the memorial park. Natalie 19:14, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Great! See if you can get the Nicollet County courthouse [1] in St. Peter. I've been trying to put the county courthouse pictures in each county article. Also both Mankato and St. Peter, Minnesota city halls would be nice. The photographer (User:Elkman) was unhappy with his own Mill Ruins Park picture, but I think it's fine. As for pictures of people, you just have to be in a situation where it's appropriate to take their pictures. I find it easier to find buildings.--Appraiser 22:15, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Your copyright information looks OK to me. I'll ask Susan about the Loring Park photo. Thanks.--Appraiser 22:35, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Allison stokke, yet again

An Allison stokke (with an uncapitalized last name) has appeared yet again. I think it has been deleted five or six times, plus the properly-capitalized article has been salted. You handled the deletion last time; could you please salt it this time? Thanks. Realkyhick 20:04, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Mary Madeleine

So, what is the assertion of notability? I seem to have missed it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richardshusr (talk • contribs)

See follow-up note on Talk:Mary Madeleine. --Richard 15:34, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

MERA Systems

You called an article about MERA Systems "Article about a club or group that does not assert significance". I wonder if you know anything about telecommunications. I believe you know companies like Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Nortel and Cisco. I believe you make VoIP calls. All the listed companies develop telecommunications software and hardware to let carriers provide communication services. So these companies do the same as MERA Systems, which is though a bit smaller in size. Wikipedia already has an article about MERA Networks which is a part of MERA Group - IT corporation which also includes MERA Systems. Then why is the late not that significant?

Thanks for reverting W3Schools page blank

I know it's little, and you probably do it a lot, but I just wanted to thank you for reverting a recent page blank to the article W3Schools. Thanks for all the work you do on cleanup/reverting vandalism on recent changes/new pages. Have a great week. --J. Atkins (talk | contribs) 18:53, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

AuroraMicrosystems

You called my page "blatant advertising" yet multiple times today i made edits after another user said it was advertising to try and attempt to turn it into a historical reference with accurate and meaningful information and data relating to a 20+ year old company within our community here. I received no warnings or suggestions on how to make the page conform to the high standards of wikipedia. It was simply deleted even after a fair amount of time that i wasted trying to make it correct. If you could please return the page and leave talk back on my profile or the page profile on the things that can be done to make it a encyclopedic reference since i seem to be clueless and would like to be a positive contributing member of the Wiki. I can't do that if people just keep telling me it's bad and deleting it without showing me the light so to speak.

A category associated with a speedy-deleted template also needs speedy deletion

Since the deletion log says you did the speedy delete on {{redlinks}}, could you also delete Category:Articles with excessive red links? Thanks - 67.100.126.185 06:50, 27 July 2007 (UTC).

Talk:Mary Madeleine

Your comments on the above page were very constructive, there are number of pages like Mary's. Most ofthe time it is guys who decide as to what happens to these pages. It was represhing to see a feamale wikipedian. My request to you would be to keep a watch on these series of articles so that we can get a balanced perspectiveTaprobanus

Lonely Forest

I restored it so that the editor can add material/references to assert notability. I see that you userfied it for him (I suggested that he might want to do that anyway, lest it get speedied by someone who wasn't in the know). I am knocking off for the evening soon, and it's probably just as well that the next admin who reviews the article vis-a-vis CSD isn't me anyway - I have nothing against either the editor or the band, but I don't want to give an impression that I have some axe to grind - if you'd be so kind as to keep an eye out, I'd be obliged.

Tommy Shaw page vandalism

Block on 68.230.102.217

Thanks for explaining some of this, Natalie!

There are still a couple things that would help me if you have another minute to advise me.

For your convenience, this is the text someone keeps removing:

Muhammad Murders And Enslaves Helpless Banu Qurayza Captives

Qur’an 33:26 And He brought those of the People of the Scripture who supported them from their strongholds, and cast panic into their hearts. Some ye slew, and ye made captive some. (M. Pickthall Translation)

After the Meccans abandoned their attack on Medina, Muhammad sought and obtained unconditional surrender of the Jewish Banu Qurayza inside Medina. Though they were isolated from their would-be rescuers by the trench and not actively engaged in battle against the Muslims, these Jews had been in sympathy with the coalition attacking Medina. Muhammad ordered the murder of all his helpless adult male Jewish Banu Qurayza captives, many of whose heads he cut off himself. The women and children were taken into slavery to Muslims. Muhammad beneficently took one of the most beautiful Jewish women as his eighth wife. I would like to add this to the page I was blocked from. I think what I've attempted here many times to add was true and accurate and obviously referenced. If someone has a dispute with it, I would not be adverse to minor changes to it in the name of accuracy, though its wholesale removal seems unfair. At one point Truesilver implied in his warnings I was posting political material.

But if so, why was my REFERENCE to the Qur'an deleted. The translation chosen was one of three considered worldwide to be most correct. Certainly at least that reference, one of the most basic historical sources was relevant to the page. And also, why was my little entire section deleted multiple times, instead of just edited? Such one-sided behavior makes me wonder if there is an agenda there.

I've since learned of the log and the simplicity of returning the page to my revisions. But before I get myself into trouble again, please tell me how to proceed. Thank you.

Best Regards!

isint a askmen link promoting askmen? so you guys decide to promote a site because you think its good even though it ends up being advertising. Ridiculous!

CSD

Hi, I noticed that you deleted the article Corrinne Wicks on CSD A7 grounds. The article in the state that you deleted read "Corrinne Wicks is a UK actress, who once starred in daytime soap called Doctors." The article had previously been tagged for CSD A7, which I removed because I felt that "starred in daytime soap" is a claim to notability, which is all that is required to avoid CSD A7. A google check for "Corrinne Wicks" (in quotes) gets 15,900 hits. I have restored the article.

In checking your other deletions I noticed that, IMO, you quite often use CSD G1 incorrectly. CSD A1 is for pure gibberish only. It explicitly does not include "poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, badly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes." The articles Brohnson, THE DELICIOUS MAN, Lord Spidey78, Catherine vs steve, Delta Steph, Room 213, Room 213, were not gibberish. They may have been stupid, and some of them were eligible for speedy deletion for other reasons (A1 and A7 come to mind), but they were not patent nonsense in the sense used by CSD G1. Dsmdgold 01:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I am not arguing that these articles should be kept over the long term, or even that they do should not be speedy deleted. "HE'S THE KIND OF GUY WHO LIKES A FUCK!" is not nonsense, it is perfectly understandable English sentence, which makes it not eligible for CSD G1. It however, does quite nicely meet CSD A1, and is directly comparable to the example given in that criterion "He is a funny man that has created Factory and the Hacienda. And, by the way, his wife is great." The Brohnson article is a rambling account of how the word got an almost certainly false definition. In other words, it is a poorly written hoax, which quite explicitly does not meet CSD G1. Your interpretation of G1 as things that cannot "become encyclopedic articles in one rewrite" has no basis in the text of the criterion. Hoaxes can not become encyclopedia articles in one rewrite, nor can fictional material, nor most implausible theories, nor obscene remarks, nor most vandalism. If an article does not meet any of the speedy requirements, and you feel that it is not salvageable, it should be sent to WP:PROD or AfD.
Corrinne Wicks may or may not be a borderline case for notability, but the claim "starred in a daytime soap" is not a borderline claim of notability. There are many clearly notable people whose only claim to notability is that they starred in a soap. That being the case, whether or not this soap and this actress actually meets notability criteria is a matter that must be considered more fully than is possible with a speedy deletion. Did you check "What links here" before deleting this page? If you had, you have noted that the article was linked to by Doctors (BBC soap opera), which according to the article has been running for 7 years. Dsmdgold 01:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Help with a user

Can you tell the user 70.179.170.133 to stop adding a section containing original research and that also goes against the neutral point of view policy to Last Kiss. The section can be found here. Thanks.-5- 16:59, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

WikiBreaks

Thanks Natalie Erin, but after some thinking, I don't actually need a WikiBreak, and saying I was going to leave like that was one of the stupidest things on Wikipedia I've done; I regret my actions. I haven't been as active much recently anyway because I've been reading the new Harry Potter book, and also the series itself. :) Acalamari 22:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

It was bad what I did: I'll explain why. Do you remember in my first RfA where I received heavy opposition for thin-skinnedness and immaturity? Events like what just occured may lead some people to believe I never got over those problems. At any rate, I'm not leaving; I'm going to stay. :) Acalamari 23:00, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
