Proposed deletion of Free culture forum


The article Free culture forum has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * non notable meeting

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Hey
I saw your WP request for donations. I checked out your user page, and thought it was cool you live in a zillion different countries. Do you get visas for all of them, or just a US citizen and citizen of 1 Europe country? I'd actually like to live in both US and Europe, that's why I ask. - Connelly (talk) 04:08, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Lilaroja, you're so pretty! I like seeing you at the top of every Wikipedia page.

Are you married? I am not. Coffee? --66.87.8.38 (talk) 06:48, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia biography?
Now that we are all getting to know you, Lilaroja, through your fund-raising page on the English WP, I wondered whether it would not be appropriate to write a short WP biography on you. I see you have written a number of books and articles here which is a good start. And you also have a short CV here with additions here. Maybe you could direct me to some third party sources (e.g. newspaper articles) reporting on your activities - or perhaps reviews of your books? BTW, I am surprised you are only on the English WP. Why not Spanish, Catalan and Italian - and all the others? - Ipigott (talk) 11:21, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

it looks like dating site when I view serious topics....
but I admit it's better than seeing that honky redhead man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.212.168.73 (talk) 16:01, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Jesus, I can't believe I'm going to add even more to all this nonsense, but, quite frankly, your face was what drew me in to donate. So, good on you, Lilaroja. Lexicon (talk) 22:43, 8 December 2010 (UTC)


 * You are lovely. Your heart, your goodness, your soul manifests itself in your photograph! I can't believe I'm flirting with you. But yes, you are nothing short of amazing! If you are attached, your significant other IS SO LUCKY! He or she should never leave you because you are the pinnacle, the zenith!!! I am not a creep. I am handsome. I am an admirer from a far. I also attended one of the institutions you mention in California so perhaps we have overlapped. I hope we can exchange e-mail addresses. XoXo! --Inetpuppy (talk) 10:11, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Fansite
Hey guys, WP has rules about creating fan pages, remember? And that's what you're talking about.

Red Lilac's contributions across all projects of WP come to, like, 50, principally on her own page, and her other pages are all ready for deletion due to lack of notability and lack of personal detachment.

So maybe you guys should get back to improving the page on the Peloponnesian War, eh?

 * You really hit the spot. --- Pichote (talk) 23:32, 10 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I disagree. Here we have an editor who undertook the difficult task of assisting the encyclopedia's fund-raising efforts. Notwithstanding the fawning comments of the IPs now she comes under friendly fire from fellow editors just because she became the object of admiration from a bunch of IPs. It is not her fault that a few IP editors came to express their admiration for her. She did not invite them. Neither did she invite fellow-editors to review her work and comment on her talkpage for no good reason. This line of commenting should cease. Furthermore the fansite tag is valid only for articles and it is invalid in userspace. In addition ad-hominem comments are covered under our NPA policy. Overall this section is completely without justification and of questionable taste. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 03:12, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi
First and foremost I want to say that I think it's great that you're helping to keep Wikipedia free with your very convincing letter to the people to donate to Wikipedia. Of course, I think it's your radiant beauty above all that really draws people in, but it's your well-written letter that makes them listen. You are a wonderful combination of beauty and brains, a perfect spokesperson for Wikipedia. Unfortunately, I had not heard of you beforehand, so I don't know what kinds of articles you focus on, but I know that by your writing style, you are most certainly a valued contributor. Please continue what you are doing, you are a very beautiful young woman both inside and out, and your friends and family are blessed to know someone like you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.72.207.234 (talk) 03:07, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Hola!
Sorry it tooks me a bit of time to answer. Connelly, answering your specific question, I have an Spanish passport, so I can travel freely though Europe, to research at USA I asked a VISA. Ipigott, I personally don't think I deserve a WP bibliography :-), but thank you anyway.

Thanks everyone for the beutiful words :-) Viva Wikipedia, Lilaroja

The Great American Wiknic
Hi there! In the past, you've expressed an interest in local meetups of Wikipedians. Well, here's your chance! On Saturday, June 25, we'll be joining Wikipedians in cities all over the country for the first annual Great American Wiknic -- the picnic that anyone can edit! We'll meet up at a park in SF -- hopefully in the sun -- all other details are still in deliberation!

If this sounds fun, please add your name to the list: Meetup/San Francisco/Wiknic and add that page to your watchlist. (And of course, feel free to edit that page with your ideas, questions, etc.) I look forward to wiknicking with you! -Pete (talk) 00:28, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Pete! I would love to come, but now I am based mostly in Barcelona, but keep me posted for future events. Enjoy the wikinicking! --Lilaroja (talk) 09:54, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Lilaroja. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Lilaroja~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:21, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Invitation to Local Wikimania Event in San Francisco this Friday
Hi!

Wikimania is happening and hopefully you're enjoying the sessions. While it's fairly last minute, you're warmly invited to participate in the local Wikimania-themed meetup in the Wikimedia Foundation office this Friday (tomorrow!). You will have to register in advance, but we would love to see more people from the WikiSalon community participate! For more information and registration, please check out Wikimania 2022/San Francisco Meetup.

The event will involve hacking, teaching, learning, and celebrating and we'll have snacks. We will have the opportunity to watch live sessions at Wikimania together in the afternoon. The rest of the day we'll have opportunity to participate in the hackathon, and we may have some on-demand workshops/learning sessions.

In case we run out of space, it's first-come-first-serve so let us know soon! Hope to see you there.

Cristina Carrasco moved to draftspace
Unfortunately, an article you recently created Cristina Carrasco, is not ready as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage with citations from reliable and independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. I've moved your article to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's WP:GNG guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the " " button at the top of the page. M.Ashraf333 (talk) 13:56, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Lilaroja. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Cristina Carrasco, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.
