Hi there!
I'm a fellow LBD fan (a Seahorse, even), so please understand that I mean this in the most sympathetic possible sense: What you're doing to the LBD Wikipedia page really is vandalism, and is going to keep being treated as such by Wikipedia's editors. Tumblr is a great place for posting cute fandom-based references to Gigi shipping Dizzie. So do it there. Wikipedia really isn't such a place, and shouldn't be treated as such. By repeatedly making those changes to the page, you're just taking editors' time away from more productive work they could be doing to improve other parts of Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is in effect a different kind of fandom, one that pre-dates LBD (and Tumblr, for that matter) by quite a bit. It has its own traditions, it's own evolved social norms. I'm sure you'd be able to make many wonderful contributions to the LBD page (and others), and I encourage you to do that. The first step in that process is for you to get a better understanding of what the goals of Wikipedia are, and what kind of edits of Wikipedia pages are appropriate. The links above (that go on your user page by default when you register) are a great place to start learning about that.

It's kind of ironic, given some of the stuff that went on in the LBD tags on Tumblr just in the past few days. When someone attempts to take an online community and hijack it to further their own goals, when those goals run counter to those of the majority of the community itself, the members of that community (rightly) resent it, and push back against it. People trying to tell the LBD creators that they shouldn't be participating on Tumblr (for example) provoked a lot of disagreement there. But what you've been attempting to do here, by repeatedly making inappropriate edits to the LBD page, is pretty much the same sort of thing: barging into an online community and trying to hijack it for your own purposes. It's not like anyone's going to jail or anything; on the relative scale of Internet vandalism what you've been doing here is way down the list. And again, I get where you're coming from, and appreciate how, from your perspective, it's just a continuation of the cute, harmless, enjoyable fan behavior that most of us LBD fans have been engaging in online in other forums.

But it's not appropriate here. -- John Callender (talk) 20:09, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Rachel kiley
Hello Ameliahannah,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Rachel kiley for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, → Σ σ  ς. (Sigma) 22:17, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Wendy Davis (politician)
Thank you for your edit to this article, but it has been reverted. If you can find a quote and a citation of an editorial about what Davis did and said, that would be appropriate. Bearian (talk) 15:47, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * For example, you could cite DailyKos or The New York Times. Bearian (talk) 15:52, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
