Talk page
Dear Drmies. I request to be unblocked as it is an unfair thing to do. The Slamdance FF Wikipedia page looked more like a publicity ad than the page of a professional film festival. I explained over and over what the issue was. No one has responded. Indeed Wikipedia is an encyclopedic source that I use for my own research. But it’s wrong to use it to publicize and aggrandize yourself without regard to truth. I am a truth seeker. Also I pointed out that the festival is used by its well-connected founders to promote their own films making it difficult for minority indie filmmakers to gain access. I don’t believe that Slamdance FF has ever had a minority filmmaker selected to it. Much less a minority woman. To be quiet is to be complicit. I still have wrist issues. Thank you.

El Super
OK, I see what you meant. I've restored El Super and built it into a useful article. No problem! Dlh-stablelights 22:31, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I thank you, sir or madam. Life is tough for women filmmakers because, for instance, all the things I've done for the guys have never been returned in kind -- on the contrary, they've tried to destroy me. But I get my rewards from other sources -- that's how Karmic Law works. Mig 15:16, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Orlando Jiménez-Leal
A tag has been placed on Orlando Jiménez-Leal, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

''I have expressed my views on the subject before to, please, keep the Cuban Americans page because at the very least, it helps with research -- which is what Wikipedia is all about.

 * Mig, Kfc1864 has nominated your userpage for deletion; please see here: Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Migdiachinea. Please comment if you wish. In the meanwhile, I have restored an earlier version of your page because of copyright concerns and because Wikipedia is not an archive service or a web hosting facility. Please review guidelines for userpages. Please understand that userpages still belong to Wikipedia and are only made available to editors to assist them in their work on the project and to facilitate communication with other editors, and it really is not appropriate to use Wikipedia as a free web-hosting and archiving facility. If you require a free web-hosting facility, we can recommend some free webspace providers where you would be free to archive all of this information, the letters and notes and such as you wish. If the material is related to your work on Wikipedia, you could place a link on your userpage to your webspace, but it is not appropriate to try to host it all on Wikipedia. I hope you understand this, so we can close the request to delete your userpage. Thanks, Sarah 16:45, 4 October 2007 (UTC

Okay, Sarah -- I wasn't using it as a host page. Just informational. I don't have any such pages. This is My Talk. This is okay, right?

The LAUSD comments
I linked to the article at WorldNet Daily :) WhisperToMe (talk) 00:22, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

By the way, here is a nice article about a teacher who taught at Berendo MS in LAUSD for awhile: - this was in the 1990s, but I doubt much has changed. Geib was never severely attacked, but he felt like a failure even with his efforts and eventually quit. WhisperToMe (talk) 09:23, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Spanish Wikipedia
Have you tried writing an article about yourself in the Spanish Wikipedia? No, I simply posted a letter in Spanish in my User's or Discussion Page. Oh, I missed your question -- should I write one? I don't have a Spanish-language program. For my published letter to our President, I had to make some creative incredible hulkess moves to get the appropriate accents on top of vowels. Mig 17:28, 2 December 2007 (UTC)Mig 04:44, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

You may want to try a magnet school or a school in an exclusive area such as Pacific Palisades HS, Sherman Oaks CES, Los Angeles CES, etc. WhisperToMe 20:12, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Your talk page
Anyone may edit any comments in the talk page, just like in an article talk page. Of course, you are free to revert messages in it too. Just make sure that nobody edits what you say, and you should be fine. Check out Talk pages and Talk page guidelines, which give guidelines on the use of talk pages :) WhisperToMe (talk) 04:05, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for responding so quickly. Mig 04:20, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, if you know Spanish, it would be nice to have an article written in Spanish :) - Regarding entering diacritics, you may use the Windows "Character Map" to input them - I know there are keyboard shortcuts, but I am not sure about how to use them. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:36, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanx, Whispertome, for the diacritic tips -- that's a $50.00 word, fer sure. I know most of the Spanish grammatical rules just from reading in Spanish and applying. I will try to handle the task when I'm feeling better. Regards on the first day of Chanukah Mig 16:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Happy New Year to All

Mig 00:15, 31 December 2007 (UTC)Mig 02:56, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Dear WhisperToMe (talk): I consider my being on Wikipedia a privilege for which I'm honored. That being said, if I have something to say on any subject, I say so in an article somewhere and I sign my name to it. Whatever small edits I have done here and there, I also sign my name. I was, thus, wondering if within your high-tech level of WP knowledge, you may be able to tell which computer the LAUSD comments came from? I have never discussed my password with anyone at all, in fact, I have since the incident changed my password. I am, however, concerned that someone with a high level of computer sophistication may be watching me closely and hacking my password at whim. And that this spammer, in question, may use me as a tool to further his/her cause, whatever that may be. Please, let me know. In the meantime have a very Happy New First Day of 2008.Mig 21:21, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Figuring out where the LAUSD comments came from
Mrs. Chinea, you will have to ask a Developer that question - Regular users and sysops alone cannot determine the IP address of a registered user (including yourself and the person who pretended to be you).

Anyhow, I would suggest avoiding using your account while on public computers and checking your own computer for keyloggers. Wikipedia has a technique to disable "brute force" password crackers (The "repeat the words in this image" trick), so if someone repeatedly finds your passwords, it could be due to a keylogger. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanx, WhisperToMe for your response and I will take appropriate measures to see if I learn more about what happened and how to identify the hacker. I used my account here while I was working at LAUSD, but have never used a "public" computer. I wonder if the problem comes from LAUSD, given the rage I've seen and the subject matter. Oh, BTW, I'm "Ms." because Chinea is my dad's family name. Thanx for addressing me so respectfully, however. Mig 01:48, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 17:52, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Vandals
Ah, my school in HISD had some holiday thieves - they weren't as outrageous as the ones in the article, and they seemed pretty stupid. They stole a laptop for a handicapped girl and an older computer but they didn't take a newer computer. WhisperToMe (talk) 03:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Gee, a handicapped girl. But taking an old computer instead of the newer one tells me that they're totally illiterate, as well as dishonest, about these things. Figures. Mig 05:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, think of whether it's a legitimate phone message or some prankster who wants a laugh. From my understand I suspect the latter... I don't personally know you nor do I know your situation. Anyhow, if you feel that the warnings are legitimate, then I would contact a police agency - Which one, I don't know. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

It may sound odd, but that is the principal's counter-argument, as stated in the article. A legal court has not ruled on the matter yet. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:32, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, WhisperToMe I saw that. But since the case has not been decided, my benefit of the doubt would fall with the teacher. The district will "write teachers up" for calling security during a melee instead of containing the classroom themselmes, for example. It sucks. Beto seeems like such a creative teacher -- and there are precious few of those left around. Regards -- Mig 14:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)--Mig 14:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

White Hispanic, signature
"bad day". Yeah, I figured that ... As for your signature, make sure that you're using four tildes and not five; that might be it. Well, good luck. SamEV (talk) 02:34, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Wow, still having signature trouble? Click on "my preferences" and clear the Signature box if there's anything in it; also uncheck the "Raw signature" box, if it's currently checked of course. If that still doesn't do it, ask the experts here. Good luck again. SamEV (talk) 18:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I unchecked the "signature box." Thanx -- why is it always the small things? Mig 01:54, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Marking Castro's Stepping Down From Power - February 19, 2008
Castro steps down. After 50 years of communist dictatorship, I tend to think that the island will move to the future eventually and in that regard there's much to do. It's the glass half-full. Therefore, I feel bittersweet about the news. The practical Cuban infrastructure (streets, electrical, architecture, plumbing, etc., etc., etc.,), is mostly gone -- whereas a strong government-based legacy of repression and political infrastructure remains. Cuban-exiles, the least understood of all U.S. ethnic minorities, and their Cuban-American offspring everywhere in the world, would be right to respond cautiously to all the rhetoric that will surely follow. It's probably a good time to get some guava pastries at some local Cuban bakery and have a quiet private celebration -- I'm having half a glass of wine. Love to all -- Migdia Chinea --

I it is not possible for you to delete an image but I can do so because I am an administrator. Let me see about the image uploads and see if I can find any redundancies. :) WhisperToMe (talk) 20:42, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Blacklist
Users are not placed on blacklists - links are.

The blacklist notice should state which link is offending - You can remove it, comment it out (Surround it with on the second), or put nowiki on it. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Do you have a screenshot of the error message? WhisperToMe (talk) 22:40, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

The page said that lulu. com was blacklisted. There was no blacklist attempt against you. What happened is that a previous post had lulu.com and that was added to the spam filter. In other words, an edit would not pass UNLESS the edit included a nowiki, a comment out, or removal of the lulu link. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:10, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

You didn't do anything wrong. You weren't intending to spam - See, it just happens that the URL was blacklisted long after you posted it - The thing is that nobody would be able to post on that talk page until the blacklist URL was dealt with. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:44, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Someone added it to a URL blacklist. I forget where it is but I know Wikipedia keeps a list of URLs to blacklist. Regarding small text, I'll have to see. - it's probably due to a without a corresponding WhisperToMe (talk) 18:12, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Lemme see if I can fix the section - In the meantime it's not a good idea to post large chunks of newspaper articles like that, as they are copyrighted. Also, we can only report on the tort letter thing once it becomes a legal case documented in the media. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:03, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay. Can you post a link to the article? My letter is not yet in the media, so you're right. I posted it out of anger at their denial, for example, "teaching" Mandarin when the students cannot even write English. Everyone already knows that a huge percentage of students are not graduating at all and will probably rely on criminality and welfare to survive -- all according to news reports world wide.

WhisperToMe (talk) 21:52, 2 April 2008 (UTC) Yes. I know the article and the man himself. That's the school where I was assulted. I warned the District and it ignored me -- like they do everyone.

Hi Rob -- where are the languages? Mig (talk) 23:23, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Look in the left-hand column under the Wikipedia globe. When an article has a counterpart on another Wikipedia, it will appear at the bottom of the column under the heading "languages."
 * This is done by adding code at the end of the article. For Migdia Chinea Varela I added Migdia Chinea-Varela, and the French article has Migdia Chinea Varela . -- ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 18:03, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Editing the article
I don't expect the biographical info you added to be removed, but if it is, it will probably be because it is not "reliably sourced." That is, it has to be published somewhere reliable. There’s more about it at WP:RS.

Hope you are doing OK these days. — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 19:23, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

It's about my grandfather. There's not much known here about that stuff behind the sugar cane curtain. I'll see if I can get a separate source. So much to do, though. Have been accepted into the UCLA Theater, Film and TV for my Masters. Thanx so much for asking -- regards and forgiveness. M --

The Cuban government never responded to my query. I have a picture of my grandfather in full military regalia, which attests to his charge. But unless I do the research in Miami, I don't believe the Cuban government will be very helpful in this case. How do you post a picture here? --Mig (talk) 16:23, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Josie's eye.png
Thanks for uploading File:Josie's eye.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Survey
Hi Migdiachinea!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

Dear Orange Mike -- although it is my film, I think it's a subject that is timely with humanistic values. The quality of the film is excellent and it's been selected to 24 film festivals worldwide. Of note, is the fact that no one at UCLA had been able to accomplish this while a student at UCLA -- hence their Bruin article. So it attests as to the value of the production and the subject-matter. This is not publicity because all of what has already been accomplished has been accomplished without Wikipedia. I'm being interviewed for the HP this morning. Thank you for your comments and support. Mig (talk) 16:50, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

ANONYMOUS (STREET MEAT)
THIS PAGE IS LEGITIMATE. Why is it being taken down bit bit? I have contacted the California International Film Festival for verification by email from them directly. Where can this email be submitted? It's possible that something went wrong with their page. My film is in their archives. Mig (talk) 21:13, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Please have a look at Identifying reliable sources. Information in Wikipedia articles must already have been published in sources such as books, newspapers and respected online news sources. If the information can only be verified by emailing someone, then it cannot be posted in an article; there is no system here for submission of facts by email.
 * You can help to improve the Anonymous (Street Meat) article by finding news coverage about the film. Did any news media report on the "Honorable Mention"? If they did, please post it on the article talk page - publication name, date, page number, URL if available. -- John of Reading (talk) 21:29, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Comments like this one won't win you any friends here. Please refer to No personal attacks.
 * Why are you so keen to have Saturday Night Special (film) cleaned up? I doubt if the editors working on Anonymous (Street Meat) have even noticed that article - there are over 3.7 million articles at Wikipedia to work on, after all. -- John of Reading (talk) 21:49, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

That other short is the example I've seen and it's so blatant. That's why. No there are no articles that I recall about the California International Film Festival because there was little or no publicity that I recall. I've asked its director to verify. I have the "Honorable Mention" logo, which they sent to me from their email address and I've selected, copied and pasted here with so-so results. I am unable AND disinterested in manipulating stuff. If there are 3.7 million articles, as you've pointed out, why are you being so nitpicky about this one item that I've tried to verify in several different ways? I mean, I have sent emails to Wikipedia commons and attachments -- I don't know what you want from me that you apparently do not expect from others. So is this ABOUT ME? Can you tell me why you're dismantling "anonymous (street meat)" bit by bit? I think it's unfair that I'm called to defend personal attacks when people are ganging up on me and calling me a liar just as I'm trying -- with limited expertise -- to comply with a request. I'm a real human being with feelings and you're singling me out. Mig (talk) 21:58, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

I thank you for your help. The Huffington Post article about "anonymous (street meat)" and the banks will be published around Nov. 1st. If any of this is still up, I'll link it. Meanwhile, my stomach hurts. My intentions are honorable. It's a good film and it's going to be exposed to more publicity once the Huffington Post article comes out and the film is selected to various cause festivals. I thank you for your trouble as I move on. Kind regards, Mig (talk) 22:51, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

KEEP anonymous (street meat)
Dear friends -- the image of the eye was restored (gun image was not) -- all images are available in "anonymous (street meat)" Google images, please, take a look. https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox/132e812637a7fb8e However, the file was truncated. Here's an example of different treatment -- the short "Saturday Evening Special" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Special_(film). Meranwhile, I was interviewed by someone from the Huffington Post yesterday. The interview centered on my inspiration for "anonymous (street meat)" -- a 2-year ordeal with Bank of America. With demonstrations and movements like "Occupy Wall Street" going on against Wall Street and the too-big-to-fail banks, thet script for "anonymous (street meat)" was ahead of time by having a plot that dealt with bank abuse with harrowing images. That's why the film has been well received at festivals abroad -- in Seoul Korea, for one, it was screened in over 14,000 monitors throughout the city. The HP article will link up to "anonymous (street meat)" and it's schedule for publication on November 1st, or earlier.

The articles on the Daily Bruin and the upcoming one on the Huffington Post are of relevancy socio-politically, so it's not without importance. The Bruin article itself is not quoted, but if anyone reads it, they can see that the short has social significance because its conception came out of issues that are being in the country's political sphere right now -- events that occurred to me. But it appears that people delete without first reading or considering. The fact that I'm a Hispanic woman is alone of some note because I'm part of a tiny minority of filmmakers. That I'm a female professional screenwriter of Hispanic background who returned to UCLA for a Master's after working as a professional for years may also be interesting to some historians. I, personally, would be interested in reading a Wikipedia page about a notable Eskimo female filmmaker with a short in 24 film festivals and in some similar circumstances, for example. If there are any.

Here's one instance used as an example of editorial bias: The Saturday Night Special Wikipedia page, for one, doesn't have any references -- it is instead laudatory of that film to the point that when I happened upon it, I was surprised to see that and tried to flag it for an edit, not a deletion, an edit. Some people here have defended that film and reinstate it. Additionally, that page quotes from articles that are not linked. And even if they were linked, why quote stuff that reads like a publicity page.

"anonymous (street meat)" is important and should be maintained for the reference of other Latino and/or women filmmakers, as well as the general public at large. Thank you for your support in this endeavor -- Kind regards, Mig (talk) 16:24, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Have you read through [] I think it might help you to understand the problems you are having keeping the article. You might also be interested to see that Saturday Night Special (film) has been nominated for deletion. All good wishesTheroadislong (talk) 16:41, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Understood
Dear theroadislong:

I think that when the Huffington Post article comes out, it will give it further historical context -- already discussed in the Bruin piece. Please, note that nothing from the Bruin article was quoted on the Wikipedia page. That all I tried to do was clarify the text in an objective -- not editorial -- manner. That nothing was submitted prior to the film being selected to numerous festivals. That I have not benefitted in any way from the film being here. But if anyone out there looks up Hispanic filmmakers, it would be nice that they could see there's a woman laboring in the filed and that her film had socio-political relevance. "Saturday Night Special" with all due respect and in my humble opinion, has no social relevancy -- it doesn't break any ground. It's a commercial venture with a Wikipedia page written for the purpose of publicizing its fimmaker. For that purpose, there are other venues.

You know, the people who break ground for others are worthy of note. I could name a few that come to mind -- and these have often been people who were not in and of themselves famous or accomplished. These are ordinary people who do things before anyone else and against the tide of indifference or discrimination -- usually both -- and facilitate the efforts of others who will follow. They are called trail blazers for that reason.

Thank you and have a great day -- Mig (talk) 17:14, 11 October 2011 (UTC)


 * FYI, Saturday Night Special (film) was deleted. It went through the AfD process a few years ago and was deleted. It was recreated afterward with no substantial change, so it was deleted again. For your film, please see WP:GNG. There needs to be significant coverage from numerous reliable sources about the film. The Bruin piece is not enough. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 03:39, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I know what you're saying Erik. There will be an article on the Huffinton Post in a couple of weeks, which may trigger more articles and I don't know what's out there from the festivals because they're all different countries in various languages. I thank you for your contribution. I'm making a film "Ninth Floor" which takes on where "anonymous (street meat)" left off. I need to put a lot of my effort in that -- even if sleep is coming as a luxury these days and I'm rarely able to get any rest. Kind regards -- Mig (talk) 04:43, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Blocking
Unfairness and racism.

I write and write and I’m ignored. Please respond on point. You have an advantage as I’m not coding literate and have an issue with my left wrist. Mig (talk) 04:00, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * No. You are not "writing and writing", and you are not being ignored. There is no justification for your edits, which constitute an attempt to abuse Wikipedia for activism. Whether your cause is justified or not is beside the point: we are an encyclopedia, not Facebook. You've been doing this on the Slamdance article for about two weeks now, without complaining about your wrist or about "coding", so all this rings very hollow, I'm afraid. Look, I'm very sorry if you were slighted or mistreated by whoever is involved in that organization, but Wikipedia is NOT the place to air that out. Drmies (talk) 16:13, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Please, unblock me. I’m sorry and suffering from this lockdown. Mig (talk) 05:52, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Dear Drmies. I request to be unblocked as it is an unfair thing to do. The Slamdance FF Wikipedia page looked more like a publicity ad than the page of a professional film festival. I explained over and over what the issue was. No one has responded. Indeed Wikipedia is an encyclopedic source that I use fir my own research. But it’s wrong to use it to publicize and aggrandize yourself without regard to truth. I am a truth seeker. Also I pointed out that the festival is used by its well-connected founders to promote their own films making it difficult for minority indie filmmakers to gain access. I don’t believe that Slamdance FF has ever had a minority filmmaker selected to it. Much less a minority woman. To be quiet is to be complicit. I still have wrist issues. Thank you.

I had responded but I don’t get a response to my response.

Constructive for me means the truth. No embellishment. This is punishment for trying to get someone’s attention to something that I thought was self serving.

I see incorrect or slanted things that I have never corrected. The objective should be information. Not self advertising. Why is everyone sucking to to entertainment. Many People are not nice not practice what they preach. My own page doesn’t contain all my credits. It’s frustrating because I Have worked hard to attain them. I don’t know anyone who can code so they can’t be changed. It seems Capricious you’re punish me for doing once what others are doing regularly. I do apologize but I don’t know what to say. I was trying to get attention to something wrong. I tried several times. That was not the way to do it. I wrote to jimmy twice but got no response. I have responded but for some reason I don’t get your emails.

I wish I could appeal to your sense of humanity. Don’t know. Deep fried okra take me at face value. Super honest and above board. Mig (talk) 22:08, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

I apologize for grammatical errors. My phone is old and got a new battery. However, that has not been a solution. I wish I had a magic wand to wave away all the frustrations I feel at numerous things at this time. I See enormous hatred out there. I look forward to normalcy. I do.
