AntiCoelacan/Eblem[edit]

For your information, checkuser shows that AntiCoelacan, whom you blocked, was a sock of indefinitely blocked Eblem. Fred Bauder 02:38, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Downlands College warning[edit]

Why am i the one getting cautioned when I'm the only one who didnt put anything offensive or explicit up there?? -Patrickwhittle90 8 may 2007

Thanks[edit]

Thanks for the welcome :) I have to admit that i usually dont edit any page that i am not involved with, but fact is, i'd rather sit and remove vandalism and cleanup, correct article than write them. Cyb3r01dX 05:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

AIV[edit]

Great! Thank you for the quick response, and for letting me know about the new area to report inappropriate usernames at. I'll give it a try next time I need to report one. Thanks again! Jmlk17 09:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and my sympathies for your troubles (I noticed the box above). Things will shine on through eventually :) Jmlk17 09:33, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More thanks[edit]

Hi Riana, I wish I could do more to help, but I'm just not in a position to do anything more than offer moral support and prayers. --Kyoko 09:37, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Block me.[edit]

Please block this acount for idiocy (Gave out it's password) --Shownrocks 14:53, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tool[edit]

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on the Tool page. It's amazing to see how much you are contributing in the face of personal troubles. I hope all works out well for you, you do good work! :) Wikidan829 12:48, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :) – Riana_ऋ 12:54, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Paka[edit]

Whoops, I misunderstood what that tag was for. Thanks for getting back to me and removing the tag. Hurricanehink (talk) 13:14, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Little trolls[edit]

Thank you for at least trying to prevent little trolls from causing trouble. One would think that after a few months this game would not be fun anymore. Oh well, thank you anyway. Moorematthews 13:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Going out with friends"[edit]

Ever edit Wikipedia while drunk? :-P — Deckill er 14:19, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Incohol? Anyway, I haven't either. It would be too risky :) — Deckill er 15:10, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. And perhaps those people will mellow out a bit after a few drinks. So it's sort of the inverse for them: the more they drink, the better they get. :) — Deckill er 18:40, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

e-mail alert[edit]

Hi Riana, I sent you an e-mail seeking your opinion about something. It's not urgent, but I thought you might enjoy the "You have new messages" bar, so I decided to let you know on-wiki. I hope you're feeling better. --Kyoko 15:05, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah Kyoko, you know me so well. I adore seeing new messages! :) Unless they're of the type I've been getting lately... – Riana_ऋ 15:06, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You know I wouldn't do that. If you are reading this, then you've obviously seen the new messages bar once more, and it means that you have a reply. As a side note, for someone who is supposed to be partially active, I'm hanging around Wikipedia a bit more than I planned. I'm talking about me, not you. --Kyoko 21:34, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

Hey - thanks for cheering up my talk page earlier :-) And you're welcome for the vandalism revert! Happy to help. Will (aka Wimt) 22:14, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

=)[edit]

Marc has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Thanks for the help[edit]

Thanks for the advice. I do appreciate the help. I will try to follow along for the next time.

Fighting the good fight against vandals.....--Witchzilla 14:41, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much[edit]

Riana, thank you for your kind words. You've made my day. Yes, the experience was a little unpleasent, especially the disrespectful terminalogy used by User: Tony Sideway or whatever his name is, towards the victims. However, the wonderful thing about the whole issue, was the unconditional support that I received from friends and those who have never interacted with me before, plus the prompt restoration of my adminship showed me that my work here has not been in vain. Riana, count me among your friends and if I can ever be of any help to you, please do not hesitate to let me know. Tony the Marine 18:41, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

hi![edit]

so you figured out that the previous username that i've chosen was a line from an eminem song? lol. Just dropping by to say hi :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by My salsa, look out for my next single it's called 'My Salsa' (talk • contribs) 07:31, 10 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks for the heads up, when did that arrive :S Benon 13:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Damn it, I just want the thing to pass! Moreschi ^Talk 14:04, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome Template[edit]

Hey, can you tell me the template you use to welcome people :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cyberoidx (talk • contribs).

Hope you dont mind if i rip yours :) Cyb3r01dX 08:30, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just found a friend of mine because we both were on your talk page :0 anyways, can you tell me how i could use your theme for the userpage and then modify it :) Yeah, i know you want to abuse me, but i could really do with the help. Cyb3r01dX 07:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Its just shocking that you are ALWAYS online <insert giggle simley here> anyways, thanks a lot, i'll just use the wikipedia portal and helpme from now on Cyb3r01dX 08:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redesign[edit]

Sorry if I seem slow/not doing it at all. *points to by todo box*. Will ^{(is it can be time for messages now plz?)} 16:39, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh no, it's fine. I'm not fussed, really. – Riana_ऋ 17:15, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply[edit]

My next APs are on Tuesday. I'm taking a break and deflating a bit from today's AP US History exam. —²¹⁰physicq (c) 05:37, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Too quick[edit]

I was just tagging that before you deleted it! Thanks. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 14:06, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Silly troll. I'll keep an eye out. – Riana_ऋ 14:07, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't I edit I am only adding what is true I cant believe that this site allows people to support terrorism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by General Peabody (talk • contribs)

It's someone's sockpuppet based on the user talk pages he's canvassed for support on. Obviously for articles to be truly NPOV "terrorist" should be in every sentence at least once.... One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 14:18, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aye, there's always a few. – Riana_ऋ 14:20, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mail[edit]

Back at ya. I still have to reply to Phaedriel, and that will take much more time. She writes beautifully, and it doesn't seem right to reply with terse comments like "Yeah. I agree. That's true." Your message is longer than just "Yeah", if you were wondering. --Kyoko 14:54, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks hon! Gmail's on the fritz again, so I'll probably not have a look at it until tomorrow... – Riana_ऋ 15:01, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:AGK/Admin Actions[edit]

Hey ;) just to let you know, I loved your Admin statement so much, I used it at the above page. I hope you don't mind - I've attributed you both there and at my user page; if you're not fine with it, drop me a message and I'll ~~request it for speedy deletion~~ delete it (sorry - still not used to the mop ;-) and your user page - it's gone!

Anthony 19:27, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A rather late RfA thanks![edit]

Good evening (GMT time) Riana; I'd like to thank you for supporting, opposing, commenting, nominating, reading, editing, promoting and/or anything else that you may have done for my successful request for adminship. As a result of the discussion, I'm pleased to inform you that I'm now a Administrator! I've already been making use of my new tools, so if there's anything I can do, give me a shout!

Kindest regards,
Anthony 22:26, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikibreak[edit]

Hi Riana, sorry I have not been able to tell you sooner, but I am back from my Wikibreak. Gee I am thankful that most of the unpacking is already done :) Harrison-HB4026 23:30, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Why did you delete your userpage? I thought it was quite good. Harrison-HB4026 10:04, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ok. Right now I am just thanking Steve, Sarah and my adoptor for all of the help that they gave me. Harrison-HB4026 10:09, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotecting Naruto[edit]

I know that there was heavy vandalism when it was unprotected, but you protected it almost two months ago now. Do you believe that it is time to unprotect it? Please tell me what you think. Thank you!! - Hairchrm 04:35, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unprotected, let's give it a go :) – Riana_ऋ 05:16, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you![edit]

Thank you for the information. It is good to know. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cheeseofamerica (talk • contribs) 06:31, 13 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Gyroglad[edit]

I saw that you blocked this user as a sock-puppet. If you don't mind my asking, what is the story with this user?—Gaff ^ταλκ 09:14, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just came across that...what a strange cat!—Gaff ^ταλκ 09:19, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Resigning[edit]

It wasn't even me, so shut it. I am leaving and I won't be returning. All wikipedia is, is a battleground for deranged critics. I am leaving because I am not the account Molag Bal, nor mr Oompapa. Nor I caused that trouble under Retiono Virginian. You won't be seeing me again. Eaomatrix 10:21, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So you expect us to completely deny Checkuser evidence? I'm sorry, I don't see how that works. – Riana_ऋ 10:22, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can I have my article back pleeease :-)[edit]

My article was deleted on "Katy martin". However, I really need the contents of the article so if there is a way you could somehow pass this on to me by either restoring it or some other method that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ant Fattony88 17:41, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict at RFPP[edit]

See Wikipedia:Requests for page protection#Queens College, City University of New York .28edit.7Ctalk.7Chistory.7Clinks.7Cwatch.7Clogs.29...sorry about that, somehow my edit didn't conflict with yours. :\ --Iamunknown 04:04, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's OK, we said the same thing anyway :) – Riana_ऋ 04:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Question[edit]

Well I've lived in and loved Calcutta for almost five years, my mum's fluent in Bengali and I learnt the language as my third language in school while I was there. I love sandesh, mishti doi and believe bengali beauties can put any exotic supermodel to shame.

Therefore, although I am not a born bengali, I think I could very well qualify as one :) Are you?

Hope your keeping well,

Regards, xC | ☎ 06:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, an Aussie Bong - I like the combination :)

Just wondering, how'd you find out my Bengali connection? Detective in the making? ;)

Regards, xC | ☎ 07:02, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You've got mail! xC | ☎ 07:04, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick reply! Lol, actually I'm interested in Bollywood all round, have you seen the state of some of the bollywood biopages? Scary, they are... just doing my little bit to help improve our project :) xC | ☎ 07:18, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

Thanks for your comments. I was happy to note that you enjoyed reading it. Regards. - P.K.Niyogi 06:10, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Hey[edit]

Yes indeed! And now it is :p Let me know how things are going, I'm around to talk if you're up for it or have something to say. Feel free to poke me if you're on and I don't notice ^_^ LOVE! — Editor at Large ^(speak) 07:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You know me too well! :p Sorry if I wasn't answering right away, I was afk for a bit. — Editor at Large ^(speak) 08:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there[edit]

Hi!

We've met earlier once before, when I stole the links from your userpage :)

I'm Xcentaur (talk · contribs), a Wikipedia editor for almost two years now although I only signed up for an account around March last year. I have a keen interest in Bollywood and Electronics, and the majority of my contributions are there. A lot of my edits are also devoted towards maintainence related tasks, such as merging, tagging articles for deletion, vandal watch, etc. A short selection of some contribs I'm proud of can be found at my braglist. Although editcountitis should be considered a fatal disease, still here is my edit count.

I would like to formally request you to be my admin coach. You are truly one of the most caring admins I've met, and I am truly amazed that you continue to contribute inspite of your personal troubles. This is honestly what I have noticed from your edits, please don't believe it to be flattery :)

If you would become my coach, I would truly be grateful. If not, I understand that you are busy. Perhaps you would allow me to pester you at some other time? :)

Much appreciated,

Best regards,

xC | ☎ 09:11, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so so much! Take your time, absolutely no problem :) I'll be looking forward to your posts. Again, thank you! xC | ☎ 12:00, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism from 220.239.186.48[edit]

Hi Riana, problem at the mill I am afraid! Could you please review the above users' last bunch of edits [1] and consider blocking him. He is now following me around and either reverting my edits or adding daft material. You previously 'counselled' this user over Kep Enderby. Much appreciated. Gillyweed 10:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously my counselling did no good - blocked for a week, please read what I've written on his talkpage and tell me if it's reasonable, would you? Cheers mate, – Riana_ऋ 11:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Polite and assertive as always. Thank you. I perhaps may have mentioned that 'stalking' my edits and putting in rubbish, wasn't in the spirit of WP. But maybe a block is quite enough to cool his/her heels. Thanks. Hope things are improving for you. Gillyweed 12:12, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey gurl![edit]

Hey, Riana, MAYBE you shouldn't tell me what I should be doing. IF I WANT TO WRITE IN ALL CAPS THEN I WILL WRITE IN ALL CAPS WHENEVER I FUCKING FEEL LIKE IT. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.29.227.4 (talk) 17:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

For being such a beautiful person and great Wikipedian,

A record of your Day will always be kept here.

My sweet dear Riana, here's my modest attempt to cheer you up and saying a loud "thank you" for being there when I needed you. You rock, gurl! ;) Love you, Phaedriel - 00:28, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your sig[edit]

Oh, thanks, I didn't know that! I'll add that, thanks again and happy day to you! --Endo(Exo) ^{01:27, 15 May 2007 (UTC)}[reply]

Wow, I just saw User:Xcentaur/Admin_coaching. Thank you so much, I appreciate all the time and energy you've put into this, and I promise I won't disappoint you :)

I'm reading the questions right now, and I'll answer them as best I can.

Again, thank you

Vote tally on RfA[edit]

Hi. I noticed you changed the vote tally on my RfA to 5-5-4 from 5-8-4, but, the latter (unfortunately) seems to be the correct count. Do you usually wait to change the numbers until a certain time, meaning someone jumped the gun on updating my tally, or did my tally get mixed up with someone else's? --Dynaflow babble 07:46, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
