Vandalism (Bald Eagle)
Thanks for your words of encouragement, but I would like to encourage you to start a dialog with your fellow page-protection admins to seriously re-evaluate your standards for page protection. For context, see: Talk:Bald Eagle. There is real confusion among the editors there, now that there has been so much vandalism that the real content is in question. The high level of reverts mixed in with the occasional update makes it extremely tedious to find the correct content. This is a good example of how allowing IP edits actually causes more harm than good.

I believe that once a page has been flagged as a popular target for anonymous edits, it should be semi-protected permanently. At that point, the value of the occasional helpful IP edit no longer outweighs the constant barrage of nonsense or deliberate misinformation. The possibility that this will be missed and allowed to stay in the article far outweighs the helpful information that might be missed. The WP standard is that it is better to have no information, rather than wrong information. Dhaluza 10:42, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Chesster
Hi Natalya,

Thanks! I happened to see your edit to his page when I just now looked at recent changes. There has been a barrage of sockpuppet attacks on Metros's talk page, and this one just seems to fit the pattern: pasting in something really huge and disruptive, and then whining "politely" to be unblocked. It's probably this one: Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Viva_La_France. Compare Chesster's edits, for example, with the most recent other sockpuppet:. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 04:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Cotton
Just wanted to say thanks for looking into the Cotton article for me for protection. The problem is, every time its a new IP vandalising it, so reporting to AIV isn't going to help. As it happens, I don't actually have any interest in the article, its just on my watch list from previous vandalism. Thanks again Ryan Postlethwaite See the mess I've created or let's have banter 16:46, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Re:Template
Thanks, it was exactly what i was looking for!! But i didnt know how to put it on the left, so it's in the center, above the title... if you know how to change it, tell me! -Sucrine ( &gt;&lt;&gt; talk) 17:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Re. Beat me to it again!
Well, you've also edit conflicted me on declining Robert Hooke and semi-protecting John Amaechi, so I guess we're even. :-) Best regards, Hús  ö  nd  19:55, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Me too. By the way, it seems that we both like to pick requests starting from the bottom. :-) Regards, Hús  ö  nd  19:59, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Weird...
That's something you don't see every day :-P. By the way, I had already protected Whitney Houston a minute before you declined. You can unprotect it if you want.  Nish kid 64  22:51, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Heh, I just noticed you messaged me. Sure, go ahead an unprotect.  Nish kid 64  22:52, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

thanks for the message
re disambiguation. what can be done in (say) that situation, where the disambiguation is imaginary? Later update: This Intravenous_drug_use was the page that I thought you referring to.... I do understand your original message now. But still raise this other question as long as you're there. Martin | talk • contribs 04:34, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

What I mean is, when someone says "I am an IV drug user", do you think that that is ambiguous, and needs disambiguation? Martin | talk • contribs 00:19, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think I was being clear. Thanks again for replying. I added a comment to the Intravenous_drug_use disambiguation talk page, where I believe it is more appropriately placed. Martin | talk • contribs 07:07, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Skyline Chili
The user has already been warned on numerous different IP addresses, therefore warning is completely pointless. These are repeated bad faith edits. The article really needs a cycle of semiprotection so that the anon vandal can find other things to do with his or her life.  young  american (ahoy hoy) 15:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * See what I mean? [ [[User:Youngamerican|  young  american ]] (ahoy hoy) 16:16, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. You are probably correct. I just got burnt out on reverting and being called various names :). If its not too much of a problem, would you mind adding the article to your watchlist for a couple of weeks? I would gladly owe you one wikifavor, to be cashed whenever and for whatever Wikipedia project that you may undertake in the future.

Son Of A... Banned User
I saw that you once banned the user Son of a Peach. I was following this user's activity leading up to the ban, as well as afterwards. Two sockpuppet accounts fruited from the ban: Flameviper12, and Wiki Duct Tape. I believe I have found another sock puppet account: Son Of A Biscuit!. The user's M.O. has changed, but they should be watched closely by someone with admin capabilities. Somnabot 19:50, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Advice
Hey its been a while since we exchanged a few messages. I've run into a little problem actually and am quite unsure about what to do next. Its actually an edit-war. We'll, obviously I feel that I'm quite reasonable and thats what the other fellow must be feeling as well. So can you check out the discussion on Orkut. And please check out the history too. The user is like reverting so many edits and re-adding content. He's like adamant about his data and does not seem to want to wait till the matter is decided to add it back. Tell me what I could do to not further aggravate the situation. &mdash; 16:33, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Concerning your Admin Coaching assignments
Your name is still listed at Admin coaching/Volunteers. The department is heavily backlogged with student's requests for coaches, and we need your help!

Note that the instructions may have changed since the last time you checked, and the department now follows a self-help process...

If you don't currently have a student, or if you believe you can handle another one, please select a student from the request list at Admin coaching/Requests and contact them. See the instructions on Admin coaching. Good luck.

If you are no longer available to coach,, please remove yourself from the volunteers list.

Thank you.

Admin coaching
Hi, Natalya. Well, sorry if I'm a little blunt and direct and impolite...but if I'm not mistaken, the coaching request system is now different, is it not? You have to go contact a coach yourself....so...can you be my coach? You've been helping me so much since I came here..I believe I could work better with you...that is, if you're not too busy. If you already have too much on your hand, never mind then, I can wait. Bye, and cheers! Zachary crimsonwol  f  13:14, 14 November 2006 (UTC) 05:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

hi!
Hi Natalya, how have you been? This is User:Gflores from many months ago. I have returned. :) As you can see, I changed my name to get a fresh start. I probably won't be editing as much as I used to back in the day, but I'll be fairly active, so drop me a message whenever you want. Lastly, I want to say thank you for your heartfelt message that June 13. I'm sorry I waited so long to tell you that, but thank you. :) MahangaTalk to me 02:59, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Re:Admin coaching

University of Wisconsin
Hi there. If you are still one of the disambig gurus, would you take a quick look at University of Wisconsin (disambiguation)? It's nothing I have any stake in, but it just seems like a very large and complex dab-page, and perhaps you and the dab-crew might have some suggestions or existing examples to help them. There is commentary on the Talk page. - David Oberst 18:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Question
Wondering if I could request your help with removing personally identifying information on a discussion page -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/User:Egwiki. The "sockpuppets" referenced are supporters who thought they were helping in a debate without understanding Wiki protocol. They had no ill intent. I was hoping you might let me know how to remove names listed on this page so they will not continue to be picked up by Google keyword search. Many thanks! Egwiki 04:03, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

User:ColScott
Because of private correspondence with the Foundation, I have asked an admin to unblock this user. I do not anticipate any involvement by him with you in the future. Other people are watching his page and contributions. He has admitted to acting up in the past, and has assured me that he will endeavor to contribute in a positive manner in the future. If you have any concerns about this in the future, feel free to bring them to me. Cary Bass demandez 12:43, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Re:Edit counters
Hi Natalya. I am nearing my 400th edit now, and wanted to check it out, but there doesn't seem to be any edit counters that could help me. They're either cancelled or ones that count the number of edits made to a page, not the number of edits a user has. So, I was wondering if you knew of any other edit counters. Thanks and cheers!!

silly question
Dear Natalya. Should I create a disambiguation page for just two homonymous artists? Or just add the remark on the header of the article which already exists for one of them? The other doesn't have an article yet. Have you finished your disambiguation tutorial? :) Regards, Courage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Courage Dog (talk • contribs)

RE: Hello, Friend!
Hello right back atcha! If you ever want to chat, I'm on Skype nearly all the time. Just give me a bell :). Regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 21:22, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm about. I use Wikipedia all the time for reading, so any messages I tend to get pretty sharpish. As for how Wikipedia is going for me, as you might have guessed by my editing patterns, not very. The bottom fell out of Wikipedia for me when Esperanza was deleted. Wikipedia stopped being fun, so I stopped editing regularly.
 * I just find it sad really that people were so offended by the concept of Esperanza. While it obviously had its faults, it really didn't deserve the hammering it got. In essence, it was just there to make Wikipedia a nicer place to be. Is that such a bad thing? I did edit the encyclopedia in addition to using Esperanza, but clearly my editing was depedent on Esperanza being there. So, by deleting Esperanza, they lost me. Ho hum.
 * Anyway, in real life, I've just started my second year of A level (12th grade) and am studying Spanish, German, Music and Philosophy. I've only started German last year. Eek.
 * So, yes, how are you keeping? Kind regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 21:40, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm definitely with you on the fearing talking openly front, and that was exactly how I felt. I was in the council practically from its conception, and we always "got it", if I remember. We recognised that Esperanza != Wikipedia, but did want to continue it because it was good fun and a good chance to get talking to other people. "A happier Wikipedian = a more productive editor" was always my motto.
 * Warmest regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 21:57, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The epitomy of what was wrong in the attitudes to Esperanza is this (from the new Esperanza essay): "This essay serves as a warning to all editors that existing projects must be open and transparent to all editors at all times, not to be overly hierarchical lest they are to meet a fate similar to Esperanza's." People just didn't get it. At all. Regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 22:00, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Good to see you in my watchlist, by the way. :) Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 21:37, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Is that to me, or Natalya? If it's to me, why thank you kind Sir! Nice to see you again too :). Regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 21:40, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Heh, it's to both. Wiki has been treating me well (not as many edits as I used to, but that's because real life has picked up its pace), and real life has been treating me well as well (third year of college, dealing with the horrible subjects of aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, stress, strain, sensors and Salsa)... how about you? Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 23:14, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, they're going well right now, and hopefully they'll stay that way. I hope I had more time to use for Wiki, though, because I won't be researching or doing major edits to articles for a while... but I'm still here trying to help out the best I can. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 03:02, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm dealing with Bach chorales, the reunification of Germany, poverty in Spain, serialism, religious experience and Immanuel Kant's deontological ethics, amongst other things :). It's going quite well, but we have far more work than last year :S. Regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 18:38, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Re:Hope all is well
Hello! Everything is going great here. Mostly caught up in work, but life in general is pretty good too. I edit when I can, mostly little things that I notice when I'm reading. To get the full scope of my contributions, you have to also look at the account I use on public computers, but admittedly that doesn't really make it any more impressive. Alas, I doubt I'll ever have 300-800 edits in a month again, but every once in a while I'm sure I'll get the urge to go on recent changes patrol or clear out the speedy deletions queue.
