I will respond to all civil comments here, unless you specify that you would rather I respond at your talk page. If I've left a note for you to which I think you may respond, I'm watching your page. Typically, I do not watch pages where I've left simple policy clarifications. If you want to discuss a note with me further and aren't sure if I'm watching your page, please feel free to open a new discussion with me here. If you have a question about an album assessment I have made, please look first at the album assessment guidelines. It may answer your question. If it doesn't or if you'd like me to reassess, please let me know. If you have questions about a page I have deleted or a template warning I have left on your user page, let me know civilly, and I will respond to you in the same way. I will not respond to a personal attack, except perhaps with another warning. Personal attacks are against Wikipedia policy, and those who issue them may be blocked. Re:Deletion Why did you delete my page on atadrad.com? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pen lord2000 (talk • contribs) 22:02, 23 September 2007 (UTC) Undoing continued vandalism by moongirl Moongirl you are nothing but a pathetic fool. You serve no purpose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moongirl enemy (talk • contribs) 10 October 2007 (UTC) Thank you Thanks for voting to delete the wua, a group i co-founded ( wait i thought wikipedia wasn't a Democracy...how can we vote?!?!) any how I am admiting defeat and want the article to be removed so this attack...this nightmare can be done with. I feel everyone wants this stupid fight to be over with. i don't mean to be rude i am just very upset.--Greenwood1010 15:18, 22 October 2007 (UTC) I understand that you are upset. I have been through processes where my actions on Wikipedia have been scrutinized and questioned, and I know it isn't a comfortable feeling. It isn't, however, an attack. Part of working on Wikipedia is learning to presume good faith and understand that the opinions of others about organizing things aren't necessarily personal. Please see the Five pillars for more about this. Check out #3 and #4. As I indicated at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Wikipedia_Users.27_Alliance, I believe you are all operating in good faith in spite of my misgivings about this project. Many other editors have made similar comments. If you want to assist the project in handling vandalism, it may be best for you to join one of the existing groups that do so. As far as the MfD is concerned, I am not in a position to close that debate, because I have substantially participated in the discussion. (And it is a discussion, not a vote. Please see the relevant portion of guideline for clarification.) Another administrator may choose to close it prematurely or may allow the debate to continue, but either way, if you no longer intend to defend the page, you may want to simply leave it alone. Step #2 in the dispute resolution process is to disengage, and it's good advice whether dealing with edits to an article or more global issues like this. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:57, 22 October 2007 (UTC) New comment Thanks for the message on how to go about voting to reinstate the page on 'Rexist Equilibrium of Life'. I did as you said and I'm keeping my arms crossed to see the outcome. I think the article is a great benchmark in philosophy and needs to be re-instated. I hope you feel the same way I do. Thanks again for all your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rexeken (talk • contribs) 16:20, 22 October 2007 (UTC) I am happy if I was able to help you navigate the process. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:25, 22 October 2007 (UTC) Css, baby Edit that, add this: table.fundraiser-box {display:none} And if you want a pretty colored "new messages bar", go to User:ArielGold/monobook.css and just copy the whole thing I have in mine, into yours. Ariel♥Gold 23:29, 22 October 2007 (UTC) You know, you are totally my hero! Thank you! You've saved my brain! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:30, 22 October 2007 (UTC) Okay, now look at your PRETTY BOX you get for new messages! No more babypuke yellow! Ariel♥Gold 23:31, 22 October 2007 (UTC) P.S. Be sure you reload the page! Ariel♥Gold 23:32, 22 October 2007 (UTC) Yes, everything is beautiful. The world is not only good again, but better than ever! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:33, 22 October 2007 (UTC) And, if you don't like my own colors, just tell me what colors you like and I'll help you change them. I've tried a few color sets, but these are the most pleasing, and yet still jarringly obvious enough so as not to blend in, lol. I really love the colors I chose, for a while I had bright purple and blue, but it didn't really fit me, lol. Of course, anything is better than the BabyPukeYellow color the default is! Ariel♥Gold 23:35, 22 October 2007 (UTC) The green is beautiful. :) I haven't figured out yet how many other colors are impacted. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:36, 22 October 2007 (UTC) This impacts nothing. However, you'll notice the same colors on pages like AD's, because he uses the "Class= messagebox" as a design for one of his talk page boxes. If anything, it is just kinda cool to see, but it won't change or impact anything. Ariel♥Gold 23:39, 22 October 2007 (UTC) <reset indent>I meant impact more in the "what it changes" sense. I see that it changes the + and - characters on recent changes. :) I really love the green of the new message. Very vibrant! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:43, 22 October 2007 (UTC) Ohhhhhh yeah I forgot that I'd changed the colors on my watchlist. Those are the only two items, I guarantee it, and if you want to change them back just let me know and I'll tell you what to remove from the .css. But yeah, the only two changes I've made are the new message box, and the color of the + - chars on watchlist. Ariel♥Gold 23:46, 22 October 2007 (UTC) I made my - red just to make it show up more. Other than that, I think I can manage. I really, really like the new message box. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:47, 22 October 2007 (UTC) Hey, look at you! Editing code stuff, figuring out colors! See? Pretty soon you'll be showing me how to do stuff! Ariel♥Gold 23:51, 22 October 2007 (UTC) LOL! Not hardly. :) With technology, I usually figure out how to do one thing and stick with it doggedly--which is why I thought I knew what I was doing with that .js thing. .css? It's different? :D For the most part, I'm a random button pusher. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:52, 22 October 2007 (UTC) Hee hee. .js is "javascript", and .css is "cascading style sheet", and it is like, the file that tells your browser how to display content, basically. You can actually customize a whole ton of things via your .css files, but I've really only found the need to do my banner and the + - numbers. Anyway, if you think of something else you want different, holler at me. ~*Hugs*~ Ariel♥Gold 23:54, 22 October 2007 (UTC) Thank you. I do appreciate it. :) In case you haven't noticed, you are totally my go-to girl. If you get sick of it, you're going to have to give notice. ;) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:56, 22 October 2007 (UTC) ROFL As long as I come with a disclaimer stating "Ariel reserves the right to be completely wrong, and to refer any issues she's unable to handle to another editor." ~*Giggle*~ (In all seriousness, you're one of my favorite girl-wiki-friends here, and you can come to me with anything, anytime, and feel free to email me if you ever just want a shoulder for non-wiki stuff, as well.) Ariel♥Gold 00:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC) I almost missed this one! Ditto. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:16, 23 October 2007 (UTC) P.S. What is your favorite color, and once you tell me, can I please have permission to add a little something to this talk page? (If you hate it, you can always revert it lol) Ariel♥Gold 00:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC) Change away! My favorite color is orange, particularly dark shades. I like most autumnal colors. :) (I had even considered asking you what I might do to make this page prettier. I like a fairly straightforward front page, since I get a lot of newbies & vandals showing up, but that one seems like fair game. :)) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:06, 23 October 2007 (UTC) Okay what do you think of this? Ariel♥Gold 00:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC) Wow! Very nice! It's not all institutional looking anymore! Thank you! <hugs> --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC) Sorry I just want to say sorry for the comment I made yesterday...I am no longer upset with those who "opposed" the Wikipedia Users' Alliance. I have since called for it's deletion and admited defeat. Thnak you and again sorry--Greenwood1010 12:20, 23 October 2007 (UTC) I'm glad that you're feeling better, and I do understand that it's disappointing. I hope you saw my reply above. This kind of tension is very common in working on Wikipedia, and reading over those guidelines may help you develop ways to cope with it. Good luck. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:28, 23 October 2007 (UTC) Wikipedia Users' Alliance Please note: this message is being sent out to all involved parties. Dear Friend, the Wikipedia Users’ Alliance has been deleted. I am sure that perhaps you already knew this. I myself just found out. Anyhow during the debate many mean and rude things where said. I am not innocent myself; I too contributed to the unpleasantness. But now Wikipedia Users’ Alliance is dead, gone forever. But we all must move on, for me and my friends, we have to deal with this loss. However it is important that all of us work together to fight vandalism and not argue with one another. There are many things that I want to say, but I know that they would only add to the mean sprit that fills the “air”. As a Buddhist (Risshō Kōsei Kai) I was reading the Holy Dhammapada yesterday. I came across this line, “Holding onto anger is like holding on to a hot coal with the intent to throw it at someone, in the end you are the one who gets burned,” how true! Lets us progress forward. WUA Founder User: King of Nepal has expressed similar views such as these to me via e-mail. His majesty said, “We have to move on, move forward. It is in the best interest of Wikipedia and us all.” I agree and hope that you do to. Thanks. --Greenwood1010 12:53, 23 October 2007 (UTC) Co-founder of the WUA. If you feel that you recived this message in error please let me know. Feel free to responed on my page if you wish. Could you take a look at...? Thanks for deleting Carl Farmer, created by User:Alex+levi. I've nominated the two images he uploaded for use in that attack article, Image:Carl 2.jpg‎ and Image:Carl.jpg, for speedy deletion as in the past I've seen an admin speedily deleting images that had been uploaded and used purely for vandalism. Care to take a look and see whether you agree with my tagging? Regards, BencherliteTalk 01:07, 24 October 2007 (UTC) I agree with your tagging. Done. Thanks for pointing it out. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:10, 24 October 2007 (UTC) Ta. Nice work. See you next time! BencherliteTalk 01:15, 24 October 2007 (UTC) Ridley Road Market Hi. As a long standing member of the Hackney community I am deeply distressed to find out this evening that the entire articles on Ridley Road Market and Chatsworth Road Markets have been deleted. I spent hours on these. Perhaps a note at the top of the page with alteration advice might have been more appropriate rather than total demolition and a smug little "please feel free to make further comtributions". I'm finding it rather difficult not to be angry with you. The market is a vital part of my community and information was taken from various sources, how can I plaigarise facts on when its open and what it sells. I would appreciate uyour comments on your destruction of my labours and i want them back so i can redraft them. Don't mess with people in this way, you're exploiting your position of power. I've good reason to be angry at you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drfinn (talk • contribs) 23 October 2007 (UTC) I'm sorry for your frustration, but Wikipedia has a legal imperative to immediately remove material that is taken verbatim from other sources. Using such material is contrary to the laws of the United States and Florida, where Wikipedia exists as a legal entity. Sentences must not be copied from other sources unless they are legally in public domain. You may wish to review Wikipedia:Copyrights. If you disagree with my interpretation of policy with regards to the deletion of this article, you may request a deletion review, where other administrators can review the article and determine if they agree with the closure. If you choose to do so and have any problems with the process, please let me know and I will try to assist you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:12, 24 October 2007 (UTC) Deletion review Re: your comments at User_talk:Geo_Swan#Deletion_review.2FContent_review, thanks. You deserve a barnstar. Now, if I can find one in my bag.... :-) Bearian 17:54, 24 October 2007 (UTC) Wow! You're the one who deserves the barnstar! I had no idea there was so much going on in the background of that content review request. (I had to research to find out why this one was of interest. :D) Truly impressive peacemaking efforts. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC) Wow, thanks, I have to prevent my students from seeing me cry. Bearian 18:24, 24 October 2007 (UTC) Disputed fair use rationale for Image:TheBlantonWebsterBand.jpg Thanks for uploading Image:TheBlantonWebsterBand.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 18:37, 24 October 2007 (UTC) Sherrod E.

Sorry to bother you. Pen of bushido 18:53, 24 October 2007 (UTC) No bother. I'm glad it worked out. :D --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:58, 24 October 2007 (UTC) Thanks Thanks for the userification.

The history of this article and your contributions are visible in logs—this includes not only your creation of the article, with its misleading references, but also your contribution to the deletion discussion on the article requesting that the article be deleted because the material is libelous. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:28, 25 October 2007 (UTC) section I am fucked in the head. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.118.17 (talk) 07:32, 26 October 2007 (UTC) Parser (CGI language) Hi, Parser (CGI language) was prodded and deleted. I wrote it, but i somehow missed the prodding and didn't get a chance to contest. The prodder agreed to undeletion: User talk:Quuxplusone#Parser (CGI language). I am an admin myself, but to avoid any possible conflicts of interest i ask you to undelete it. Thanks in advance. --Amir E. Aharoni 07:44, 26 October 2007 (UTC) No problem. It's back, sans the PROD notice. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:25, 26 October 2007 (UTC) Thanks Thanks for the barnstar.

Quaginc 14:44, 26 October 2007 (UTC) I reported my personal conclusions at Wikipedia:Drawing_board#NYCmetroProject_on_Wikipedia_.28appeal.2Fforum.2Fconversation_thread.2Fetc..29 on October 11th. Beyond that, I'm afraid my best suggestion would be to open the conversation with people experienced in articles related to the subject—perhaps at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Photography. Good luck. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:47, 26 October 2007 (UTC) WP:ER I thank you for your contributions to my editor review, I have read it, and will stop being so trigger happy with the minor edit button. :) Dreamy § 19:26, 27 October 2007 (UTC) You're welcome. :) I hope that it will be helpful to you. I always worry that those things come off sounding overly negative, since of course you can put a lot more time into saying "this is how you might improve" as opposed to "this is what you're doing right". :D --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:28, 27 October 2007 (UTC) Vinea (soft drink) page deletion Can you explain your reason for deleting the page as you've set the chain reaction for others to delete the other pages changes and it took me a time to trace various user/admins so now there are up to 3 people involved in deletion of one simple article describing a soft drink. How about instead of deleting you actually improve article/s. If you are not familiar with the drink its still does not justify the action. Stonufka 12:15, 28 October 2007 (UTC) (duplicating response) The article above was tagged on 18 October 2007 with a {{prod}} template suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor who tagged this article felt it might not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion because he or she believed it was a "Non-notable soft drink". Prod deletions are supposed to be non-controversial; the prod template can be removed by any editor who disagrees, including the article's creator. While editors who propose deletion are encouraged to notify article creators, you were evidently not notified. I'm sorry that I did not notice this and contact you about it at the time I processed the expired prod. However, while the article was deleted, articles deleted through this process of Wikipedia's deletion policy may be restored at any time on request. Since obviously you protest the deletion, I have restored the article. Note that it might still be sent for review at Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. You may wish to review the notability guidelines for companies and products to see the criteria by which such articles are assessed. The article will need verification through reliable, secondary sources. Thank you for contacting me, and, again, I apologize for not realizing that you had not been notified at the time. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:09, 28 October 2007 (UTC) Thank you for the speedy reply , I have included several external links to the article. I would also like to point to the list of soft drinks on Wikipedia List_of_soft_drinks_by_country where the drink is mentioned. I'm curious, what makes a soft drink brand notable? World wide sales or marketing perhaps? I did not include manufacturer as that is in my view irrelevant and considering that originally the Vinea article pointed to a fictional space object I concluded that it would only be right to correct it and include what is in my view notable product.BTW its lovely drink I miss it greatly in my part of the world. Stonufka 13:24, 28 October 2007 (UTC) Generally notability is established for products by demonstrating that other people are talking about it, by including references to reliable sources where the product is being discussed. As the guideline says, "The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability". Personally, I find this to be one of the more slippery areas of Wikipedia. In order for an article to exist, you have to establish notability. If you claim notability, people will often interpret the article as overly promotional. Generally what I would do is find a good article on a similar product and use it as a kind of template. For example, Pepsi. It includes information on the history and the marketing of the product as well as its ingredients. It's also got good references. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:34, 28 October 2007 (UTC) Gangsta M.D. Hi Moonriddengirl - Thanks for your note. You are right, I was not aware that the article was deleted. While I would have liked to know about the proposed deletion when it was posted, I think at this point it is better to leave things as they are. If the film moves further in production perhaps we can revisit the development of an article at that time.
