Phaedriel last signed in on September 28, 2007 and is on an extended WikiBreak. If you would still like to leave her a message, you are more than welcome. If you are seeking help in designing your userpages please consult WP:UPH and this page during her absence.
This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.
I normally will respond on your own talk page, not here. I don't want to deprive you of the pleasure of watching a beautiful orange bar cheering your sight up :)
I usually archive discussions when this page exceeds 40 topics. Of course, at some moments of laziness, this page may contain way more than that. But please, don't panic - I'm too good at that without your help!
Needless to say, I have one golden rule I like to be observed at my Talk page: be nice, be nice, and after that, be nice. If after reading this, you still feel the urge to squeeze my neck for any reason, please visit this page, take a deep breath, and come back - I'll be waiting here! :)
You may of course post here regarding admin-related matters or requests for administrative help. Such messages have my absolute priority when replying. In extremely urgent cases, you may also wish to email me here. I'll address your concerns as fast as my human capacities permit.
Sometimes it may take me long to reply to you, but I invariably will try. If a few days pass without reply, please forgive me - I'll get back to you as soon as I possibly can, I swear!
Modest boost in assessed articles during September
WikiProject Oklahoma's massive list of unassessed articles got smaller over the month of September, as 45 articles were assessed by bots and editors. Assessments made on August 31 bring the total to 62 assessed articles over the 31-day period. On September 15, BetacommandBot assessed 40 articles from no-class to stub and start class. This bot automatically updates the talk pages of articles included in more than one WikiProject if at least one WikiProject has already assessed the material, bringing each interested WikiProject's ratings into compliance with the assessment. No B-class or higher quality assessments were given out over September, and only a small handful of importance assessments were granted. On August 31, one Low, Mid, and High importance rating was given to three separate articles. Leroy McGuirk was given the lone high-importance rating.
Oklahoma categories receive help from Texan
TexasAndroid, an administrator, assisted WikiProject Oklahoma by categorizing nearly 100 Oklahoma-related pages on September 24. The additions were made mainly to Tulsa-related pages.
"I've done the major cities in Texas in the past, and was thinking about what to do next, and decided to stay relatively close to home for now. Thus OK's big cities got done," TexasAndroid wrote on his user page.
Taskforce Tulsa, a collaboration of editors operating under WikiProject Oklahoma, has been created to increase the scope of Wikipedia's coverage of Tulsa and its surrounding areas. Taskforce Tulsa is many things, but most importantly, it is a way for editors to have a place to put Tulsa-related requests (pictures, article, expansion, collaboration) for other editors interested in Tulsa. News, guidelines, and category trees related to Tulsa articles can easily be accessed and added through the task force's project page. The taskforce is not its own WikiProject. Instead, it works in conjunction with WikiProject Oklahoma to increase the quality and scope of Tulsa-related material. Because of the increased clutter and unnecessary waste of space that would be created with a new WikiProject, editors have opted for a taskforce, or workgroup project. Rather than having a Wikiproject Oklahoma banner as well as a Wikiproject Tulsa banner on most Tulsa-related pages, editors can simply add the Tulsa Taskforce note onto the existing Wikiproject Oklahoma banner. Cleaner, clearer, and more efficient. In edit mode, such a banner would appear as this: "{{WikiProject Oklahoma|class=FA|importance=Top|tulsa-task-force=yes}}". In other words, simply adding "tulsa-task-force=yes}}" to the existing Wikiproject Oklahoma banner on an article's talk page would include that article into the Tulsa Task Force. According to an explanation on the taskforce's project page, "The Tulsa Task Force is a 'sub-wikiproject' operating 'beneath' Wikiproject Oklahoma, and is designed to assist it by focusing specifically on Tulsa-related material. Editors who are interested in expanding knowledge of Tulsa on Wikipedia may wish to consider themselves part of Taskforce Tulsa as well as Wikiproject Oklahoma." Interested parties can sign up much like a stand-alone WikiProject.
The WikiProject Oklahoma newsletter is a work in progress so please share your ideas about how the newsletter can be improved. If you no longer wish to receive this newsletter, please remove your name from the sign-up list.
This newsletter was delivered to you by Okiefromokla. This is a one-time delivery as to all Wikiproject Oklahoma members to boost interest in the newsletter. In the future, if you would like to receive this newsletter in your talk page, please insert your name in the sign-up list. Thanks!

On your main page, you say "yes, I do have a Comanche name. But please, even if you're curious, I'd prefer not to be requested to say it. Some things, especially very intimate ones, are better left unsaid." Ok, I can respect that -- but I do have a question for you about it, if you do not mind my asking. (I will ask forgiveness in advance if I am overstepping any boundaries just by asking my meta question -- it is not my intent to challenge or insult your position, only to understand better.) My question is: is it common for Comanche (or all American-Indian) to treat their Indian name as intimate knowledge, or is this just your personal preference? That is, if I were to meet a different Comanche person, would it be forward of me to ask their Comanche name? If so, would that further extend to Cherokee, Hopi, etc., or is this mostly limited to Comanche mores?
Phaedriel, your contribution The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran at Wikisource was recently found to be copyrighted in the U.S. through the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database. It is in the public domain in Lebanon and the U.K. however. What I expect will happen is that your contribution will be moved to the Wikilivres website, whose server is also probably in a country where The Prophet is in the public domain. The proposed removal is being discussed at s:WS:COPYVIO#The Prophet (Gibran). Discussions there can moved fairly quickly, so if the preceding link fails, you would need to check the archives for the discussion.
I regret your contribution isn't likely to remain at Wikisource. I've encountered your contributions there and have visited your user page there and here before, so allow me take the liberty of adding that since I had noticed (I'm not sure where) you had expressed an interest in the poet Lascelles Abercrombie while I was recently adding a text by him, s:An Essay Towards a Theory of Art, I wanted to suggest that you might enjoy that essay. 216.165.199.50 (talk) 06:40, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
