September 2007
I noticed the message you recently left to Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Udreams. Please remember to try not to bite the newcomers. If you see someone make a common mistake, try to politely point out what they did wrong and how to correct it. Thank you. ''I don't generally believe in templating the regulars, but your MFD of User:Udreams is a classic example of how we should not treat new users. Please try to give new users a chance to contribute to the project.'' After Midnight 0001 13:26, 2 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Please don't template the regulars - Thanks.  Mi r a n da   20:41, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * You were not templated. As you can see above, I gave you a customized message.  You should be able to see that I said that I don't normally use the templates, but that you deserved a special message.  In case it is not clear, the message is "your MFD of User:Udreams is a classic example of how we should not treat new users.  Please try to give new users a chance to contribute to the project."  --After Midnight 0001 20:49, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, well, please try to make contributions which help improve the project instead of templating regulars. Contribute to a WikiProject or something? I don't need someone watching over my edits. I have been/still am going? (me thinks) through that, and it is was hell.  Mi r a n da   20:53, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Contribute as in writing/correcting grammar in an article.  Mi r a n da   20:54, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It isn't considered watching over your edits when we are in the same IRC room and you start talking about the MFD that you posted. I don't think that you will find me anywhere near your other edits. --After Midnight 0001 20:56, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I have other people watching over me, which I am not at liberty to name. And, secondly, I am not going to be active on IRC anymore because it is a waste of time to me. But frankly, don't expand drama over a small incident. Okay, I was wrong, I apologize. Move on. Thank you.  Mi r a n da   20:59, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for apologizing. I will consider this done and remove your talk page from my watchlist. --After Midnight 0001 21:07, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

A certain MfD
Hi Miranda. I'm surprised that you haven't been messaged about this yet, so I'm going to take the leap and do it myself! I'm going to try to remind you about not biting the newbies. We were all once new here, and we need to try to remember that, and treat others as we would have liked to have been treated. Getting a message about how our user page is about to be deleted just two hours after joining the project is not going to make us want to stay, and I know that it would have made me leave. The damage seems to have been done in this case, and I suspect that we've lost another contributor to Wikipedia, before he's even made any contribs. Wikipedia has a bad enough reputation - we need to actively encourage people to join and help, not drive them away.

However, there may be a way to repair some of the damage. The user who was the target of the MfD has enabled email from other users. I would encourage you to go for this opportunity. Thanks, Martinp23 21:18, 2 September 2007 (UTC).
 * I did. See past history. I am archiving this now. This issue is done with me.  Mi r a n da   21:23, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you - I unfortunately don't read your peoples' talk page histories before commenting, hence why I feel that premature archival is a bad idea, especially for posts critical of oneself. That said, it is your talk page. Martinp23 21:26, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Marking accounts you've created
When you create an account at WP:ACC, please place a, not a takenote. This should mark it for the bot who helps maintain the page and its subpages. Od Mishehu 06:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I didn't know. Sorry. Will do that from now on. Cheers.  Mi r a n da   08:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

 Tr U cO 93 08  21:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)Thank You for the banner ad for WikiProject Reggaeton. Um are you interested in joining?

Commons Ad
Somehow when I was trying to update the overview template with your newest ad, it showed no image under the ad. That's weird...any clue what's causing it?¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk)  23:26, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I had to upload a new version.  Mi r a n da   23:29, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Administrative patrol trial
Hi Miranda. I was unaware of a sort of "administrative patrol trial" as you mentioned on the Betacommand 2 RfA. Could you provide any further information about that? I was unaware of such a trial, and am curious. Thanks, Iamunknown 02:12, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It's a suggested compromise. There is probably such a thing, but you need to ask the arbitration committee for more details.  Mi r a n da   08:25, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

m:Image:Commonsad-es.gif
Hi! The text in the image is wrong – it should be libre, not gratis. See Gratis versus Libre. This is quite a fundamental difference.

The banners are great though, and it would be cool if you could make one with Norwegian text as well – the text would be Frie bilder for alle. Jon Harald Søby 15:34, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I am quite busy right now. And, I just learned that the ads won't be shown universally on the Wikimedia Foundation websites, but rather is optional on blogs/website. Wikipedia is not my full-time job, and I have an avid life outside of Wikipedia. I will see what I can do, but I am not making any promises.  Mi r a n da   20:34, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

attribution readded
It got lost in a revert a while ago but I put it in back in June. I reinserted the attribution on the talk page. Thanks for the offer of making a military motif page, but I'll pass, I'm fond of the current version for the time being. When I get sick of it though, I'll probably ask you for a law related page (gavels, and scales of justice etc.) Thanks.... &rArr;  SWAT Jester   Denny Crane.  03:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

My editor review
Hi, I'm just curious why you are criticizing me because of the joke. I wasn't biting him or anything, it was all a joke. Wasn't in anyway serious, all in jest.  Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 18:33, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * If you run for RFA, people may see this as feeding the trolls.  Mi r a n da   20:46, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * How was the other guy trolling?  Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 22:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The edit was later removed by Durin. If someone vandalizes your page, you should revert and ignore.  Mi r a n da   02:12, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * But it wasn't vandalism. (or at least intentional vandalism). Just a joke. It was part of Giggy's australian cabal deal.  Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 03:22, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

(reduce indent) Okay. Well, you also might want to work on making edit summaries.  Mi r a n da   04:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Banner Ad
Hello, I noticed that you made a banner ad for the WikiProject Reggaeton and as I work heavily on the WikiProject Food and Drink and have wanted to create a similar promotional item, could you direct me to how one creates such a thing?--Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 19:15, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

ODMasia
There is no doubt this user was actively spamming Wikipedia, but I've seen no evidence of sockpuppetry. Can you expand on that? (Please leave me a note when you've answered.) - Mgm|(talk) 09:33, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The contributions are deleted.  Mi r a n da   09:34, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * MJ was also removing the same tags that ODMasia was removing in the same articles, too. Hence, the suspected sockpuppetry.  Mi r a n da   00:54, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

fair enough
i understand about the warnings, but my comments are mine to do with what i wish. donn't stop me removing unwanted comments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.14.220.47 (talk • contribs)
 * It's generally discouraged for an IP to remove warnings on a talk page. See userpage for more information.  Mi r a n da   21:00, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Generally with IP user removes his or her warnings, it's generally discouraged because the IP can be shared by many users of a school, educational facility, or company. You can archive your warnings, as seen on archive.  Mi r a n da   18:38, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

User:Cas't sleep clown will eat me
I haven't followed the Encyclopedist. Is it the AfD or the spoofing that leads you to believe this is a sock? -- Flyguy649 talk contribs 07:21, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * He has impersonated users before. See the sock list. However, I may be right or wrong. He has copied userpages before to impersonate users, and a first time user wouldn't know what AFD is. However, the person is blocked.  Mi r a n da   18:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Qxz ad question
Hey, Miranda. I was wondering if you'd be willing to make an ad for WikiProject External links. It's a small project that I'm trying to revive, and figured this would be a good way to get it some attention. Thanks,  A r k y  ¡Hablar!  19:54, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

129.96.234.65
Thanks for reverting the edit to my talk page. That IP is a sockpuppet of User:Nam3witha3init. There's a long term vandal who targets Craig Charles and associated articles using 58.84 prefixed IPs or IPs such as the one above registered to Flinders University, if you check the article history it goes back to about July 2006. One Night In Hackney 303  01:43, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay. I just noticed someone with a university IP editing your userpage. Thought something was wrong and reverted it. Glad that I could help.  Mi r a n da   04:34, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
I'm seriously thinking of protecting my page, at least for a day or so. He claims he has a life, although apparently its an off night for him tonight if he cannot find anything more fun than vandalizing my user page. KillerChihuahua?!? 02:03, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Miranda, I just wanted to thank you for the support you showed regarding the recent unpleasant experience with impersonation I had. I know we've not really talked yet, but I most certainly have bumped into you many times, and I respect you a lot, so it was such a delight to wake up to find you had left words of encouragement, thank you so much!

Threats
You have no right to make any threats against me for violating WP:3RR when you are just as guilty. If you revert any of the "Incorporated" changes, you will be blocked as well. Please keep that in mind, and also try some civility. It will get you much further than this current attitude does. Justinm1978 04:01, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * How interesting that you accuse me of personal attack, but when you issue a [|very similar warning to me], it's somehow not personal. I sense a distint lact of good faith here, and I really hope this is not the case because I respect a lot of what you contribute.  That said, I think you are taking this too personal because your org is one of the ones in question here. Feel free to remove this, and we'll take it from here to the mediation page. Justinm1978 04:20, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Like pot, like kettle :-D. Add evidence to the mediation page, instead of disrupting to make a point further by reverting my userpage (which I can do under this), sorority pages, or you will get a block for violating 3RR. :-D  M. (er) 04:28, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * As long as you are aware of the fact that you are not innocent of what you accuse me, I'm fine :) See you on the mediation page! :) Justinm1978 04:32, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Imagine this, you and others work on an article, research, etc., then all of a sudden a person who doesn't know a thing about the history of the sorority and title in order to prove a point without discussing the matter on the talk page. You have done this before with other articles with the NPHC with Alpha Phi Alpha. I don't care if you contact Ccson with this matter, because he has done a majority of the work on the Alpha Phi Alpha article. He would probably agree with me, since he is in the fraternity. Because of your "all of the sudden 'I am right' revert war edits" without backing them up, which is considered original research, is irritating me. Here's a suggestion, why don't you research, add to, and improve articles, instead of making a battleground as well as personal attacks, reverting my edits on my discussion page, when I explicitly did not want them to be there. I don't have time for a debate. Please have respect for other editors who are working a hell of a lot harder to improve this site, or be blocked for disruption.  M. (er) 06:52, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * By the way, I am not part of any organization. Please don't associate me being a member with any NPHC organization, okay?  M. (er) 07:14, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Admin
I've noticed in the history of pages you revert edits and identify them as vandalism a lot, even though sometimes they are just good faith. That's why you won't be an admin either, because you think you can boss other users around and say things are vandalism even when they aren't(sometimes). See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Melina_Perez&diff=159084390&oldid=159082790 .... you identify that as vandalism? That is good faith and even if it isn't it certainly isn't vandalism. Administrators can correctly identify vandalism, and since it would seem you can't that's why you won't be one. Wwefan980 18:22, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

By the way I'm not an admin hopeful which is why I don't care if I am one. Wwefan980 18:22, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * First, assume good faith when bringing up a new topic on my talk page. Comments such as "you can boss other users around" and "administrators can correctly identify vandalism...and since it seem you can't" is kind of assuming bad faith about my contributions to the project. Second, in order to edit the encyclopedia, you have to follow the rules and guidelines of the project, mainly outlined in the five pillars. Second, the subject of the topic is a living person. Living persons fall into the category of biographies of living persons, which states something to the effect of libelous and poorly sourced materials should be removed. Since the IP inserted the fact, I identified it as vandalism, because the fact was unsourced at the point and IMHO, considered to be original research. The IP, then noted that the source said the fact to be true according to the source. I have read the source of the article, and the fact of her "attention" is sourced in the article.  M.

Curtis Willkie
A template has been added to the article Curtis Willkie, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with db-author. KenWalker | Talk 15:43, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Can you create an ad for me?
Hi again. Sorry to keep bothering you but I have been trying all morning to create an ad banner but GIMP is very hard to use for me as I am not an experienced graphical software user. Since you seem to be very experienced with using the programme, could you possibly create one for WikiProject Engineering. If you can create one then I would like a dark blue background and the folowing images included, Image:Nuvola apps kcmsystem.svg, Image:Nuvola apps kig.png, Image:Nuvola apps kmplot.png and Image:Nuvola apps kcalc.png as suggested on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Engineering. Your help will be greatly appreciated by the wikiproject as we need more members but I will understand if you can't make the ad for whatever reason. I would once again like to apologise for taking your time. Thanks. Tbo 157  (talk)    (review)  12:35, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I will make an ad with one of the images, probably with the main project image. I am quite busy, so please understand if your banner is not in a timely manner. Also, please note that I quit the project a long time ago (seen by this revelation), and gave it to PPG.  Mirand  argh  20:37, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, next time that you want an ad made for your project, go to the banner project, see who is available to make banners for that project. This takes a lot out of my free time, and I would appreciate if you would have taken those avenues beforehand instead of asked me to create a banner for your project at the last minute, when I am trying to take a break from Wikipedia as a whole, out of respect for me, because I am not being paid to do these banners.
