Request for restoring User:Andries/Sathya Sai Baba

Anna Anderson
Riana I would like to draw your attention to what has been happening at the Anna Anderson discussion page. Trusilver has been valiantly trying to deal with Trolls there. You will note persistent vandals are ChatNoir24 and his sock puppets and now there is the return of the banned RevAntonio. Would you please assist Trusilver in dealing with them as it is getting out of hand? Thanks in advance. Finneganw 23:53, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

I meant to say that I believe the Anna Anderson page needs protected status. Please note Trusilver has previously placed a ban on editing for a month as the above mentioned vandals were persisting in an edit war. Please also note one of their tactics has been to use discredited inaccurate sources in their vandalism as well as altering sourced references. Finneganw 23:53, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

List of Doctor Who serials

As you can see that article has a long and intricate history of protection. The reason I'm notifying you is that Caulde, the most recent protecting admin, has left Wikipedia. I've decided to review the semiprotection to see if it's still necessary 18 months on. See talk:List of Doctor Who serials. --TS 17:04, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Protection of Template:Collab-arch
Hi Riana, you protected this template more than a year ago. since than the whole Wikiproject Architecture went sleeping... I am trying to revive the project, since there is soo much to be done to improve architecture articles on Wikipedia. Could you unprotect the template or just replace for now Johannes Itten with Comming soon. As it stands I think it deters many people from joining the project, since the portal looks abandoned. thanks Elekhh (talk) 06:25, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

deleted article request
Hello Rianna, I'm just trying to figure out what I have to do to NOT have this article deleted. I found you spontaneously, but hopefully you are able to help. This band is very significant to the worldwide hip hop scene right now, and you'll be able to see that people are requesting to view a wiki page for them if you begin to type "OCD Moosh & Twist" into the google search bar. I'm not a very big wiki contributor, and I've had articles deleted before, but I promise you that this article is necessary to keep. When I press, 'click here to contest speedy deletion,' I get an error message. If you're not the right person to ask, please refer me to another administrator. Thank you so much.

You restored this article based on a contested deletion. Can you point me to the discussion please (and the contested deletion). I can't locate any discussion at the Deletion Review. Thank you. --HighKing (talk) 12:51, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi HighKing, a user e-mailed me requesting the restoration. I may be mistaken as to current policy, but when I was last active (admittedly a fair while back), generally a request via any process was valid to overturn a prod / restore a deleted article. If I'm mistaken in this I'm very sorry! ~ Riana ⁂ 12:56, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It's pretty unusual to undelete an article because you've received an email. The policy to review a deletion has been around for 5 years.  Can you please re-delete the article and follow established procedure please - that way everything is above board.  Chances are, if the subject is deemed notable, the article will be undeleted in any case.  --HighKing (talk) 19:36, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Just spotted that the policy (at WP:DEL) states that Any editor who disagrees with a proposed deletion can simply remove the tag. Even after the page is deleted, any editor can have the page restored by any administrator simply by asking. In both cases the editor is encouraged to fix the perceived problem with the page, but in the interests of transparency, could you please ensure there is a record somewhere of the fact that you received a request to undelete the page and you complied. Thank you.  --HighKing (talk) 19:40, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * 17:32, 6 November 2009 Riana (talk | contribs | block) restored "Sean Wolfington" ‎ (232 revisions restored: request to undelete; WP:CONTESTED) - I believe this consitutes a "record of the fact that [I] received a request to undelete" - if you wish to take the article to AfD, you may make note of this conversation as well as the deletion log. Any more than this seems a bit like hoop-jumping to me. ~ Riana ⁂ 00:14, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Your honest is VERY refreshing, compared to my nemesis and his "sockpupet". You can you check out their comments on the Harmon Afd page. I also posted a request on the WP:RS noticeboard but they skipped my request and took care of everything else. I asked about it on their talk page; do you have any insight as to why it was ignored? Was it because it regarded pornography, or because it's dealing with an article that is in the Afd process?

Are there generally boneheads in every Afd conversation that just say "doesn't mees GNG, and BLP, delete while the ones who say keep actually take the time to explain themselves? All this BS regarding porn Afd is driving me nuts. -Stillwaterising (talk) 01:45, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Still, I will say this only once and I will make it very clear. This is a collaborative project, and I will not tolerate attacks being made on other editors, regardless of their views. Calling Epbr123, however you may differ with his views, a "bonehead" and accusing him of abusive sockpuppetry without proof (the former a personal attack, the latter a very serious accusation) is an unwise course of action. I suggest that you keep these personal thoughts to yourself, unless you have a substantial amount of evidence; in which case, you should submit it to arbcom. I will not tolerate these unfounded accusations and attacks on a respected administrator so please stop, or a temporary block from the project might become an option. &mdash;Dark 10:02, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

re: Century of humiliation
Dear Riana, many thanks for your little note and the smiley star. It has cheered me up a bit. I have been getting a bit annoyed with wikipedia lately as almost everything I do seems to get attacked and I keep having to 'battle' to avoid things I have done being deleted. I must be doing something wrong. My latest problem being an article on Matthew Watson being deleted. The deleter kindly gave it back for me to work on but it is still annoying (User:Msrasnw/Matthew Watson) Anyway your act of deception was 'funny' - and made me smile. best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 12:26, 12 November 2009 (UTC))

 * Dear Riana, hope all is well - I guess you haven't had time - or you thought there was no problem to be addressed. But I am still bothered that the article User:Msrasnw/Matthew Watson that I have spent a bit of time (too much time) on is still not deemed OK. I do feel it was wrongly deleted. I have communicated with the deleting admin (User talk:Skomorokh) but had no joy yet. It might be I should wait a bit more fore response from Skomorokh but in the mean time I would welcome another "view". I don't know if I should just go down the official deletion review angle.

Sean Wolfington
Hi Riana. My name is Sean Wolfington and i was wondering what happened to the article about me that was deleted. I am not familiar with Wikipedia's rules and guidelines and wanted to know if i did something wrong. If you can help advise me i would appreciate it. Also, i read the discussion page requesting a speedy deletion and it said that there was not alot of information beyond the sale of the 2 companies i founded and the film i produced. As a business person and film producer i have done alot more than what the page describes but the information was not there.

Since i don't know alot about Wikipedia i asked a freind and they suggested i provide information to the people on the business page of Wikipedia to get their oppinion of wheter the article is noteworthy and i wanted to give you additional information that was not on the article you deleted to see if that may change whether the article is noteworthy.

Here is a summary of my background so you can evaluate whether it is noteworthy. All of this information is available through major news outlets, which i thought was the criteria for determining if something was noteworthy... but again i don't know alot about how this site works. Below is my background information, please tell me if any of this is noteworthy. Some of the information was not in the original article and the additional information may effect whether the article is noteworthy.

Here is my background: I am an Entreprenuer and a film maker. I founded and sold 2 technology companies by the age of 34. The first company, HAC Group which operated as Cyber Car and Automark, sold for $200 million (article with info can be viewed at: http://www.nytimes.com/2000/04/18/business/company-news-reynolds-reynolds-to-buy-hac-group-for-200-million.html) and the second for $125 million dollars of enterprise value (BZ Results article- http://www.dealerrefresh.com/adp-buys-bz-results/ - there are many articles about these companies but these are links i just found). My company was recognized as the "Innovative company of the year" from Auto Success Magazine along with SAP (http://www.autosuccessonline.com/leadership.aspx) and I was a finalist for the Ernst & Young "Entreprenuer of the Year" when i was 34 years old and a few months ago was recognized by Haute Living Magazine as one of the top 100 most influential leaders in the Haute 100 (view at:http://www.hauteliving.com/?s=sean+wolfington). After selling the second company, I started a film production company where i financed, produced and distributed the first film myself (Bella)and it was the #1 top grossing film in its category. (here is an article i wrote for the Huffington Post about it- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sean-wolfington/what-i-learned-about-maki_b_102704.html and LA Times wrote an article about it - articles.latimes.com/2007/dec/04/entertainment/et-bella4) It also was the #1 rated movie on Yahoo, NY Times, Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes while in theaters and it is currently one of the top 50 Rated Films of All Time on Yahoo and it was the #1 Rated movie of 2007 by the users of the largest film review site in the world, RottenTomatoes.com. After that i produced 2 other films including a new motion picture called Mighty Macks (you can view at IMDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034324/ and you can view my film history at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2055676/). In addition to the film production company i currently own 6 companies in the technology, real estate and entertainment industries. I know most people on Wikipedia are more interesting and i am not writing this to boast, i just want to give you an overview of who i am so you can determine if the article is noteworthy. I would really appreciate your help with this because i don't know how any of this works. Also, i left a message on the talk page of the other people who suggested the article be deleted. One of them said the new information was important to know and they suggested i create a new article but i don't know how to do that. Is it possible to undelete the old article and update that with the additional information and independent source references?

I hope you can advise me on this. Thank you.Seanwolfington (talk) 05:29, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 * There is no specific number, but many frequent contributors to RfA will automatically oppose someone with less than a couple of thousand edits. As you can see from the graph, the average number of edits for the successful candidates are much higher. I personally think that the substance of the edits are more important than their number (quality over quantity), but again, the graph indicates that suitability for adminship as perceived by the RfA participants is correlated to a high edit count.

My neologism deleted
Hi. I'm new to Wikipedia, and I've created an article about Mobiosis. I guess I didn't put enough explicitly there that it's a neologism, and it was taken as a Blatant Hoax and deleted in next few hours before I realized what's happening. Could you possibly help me resolve that? I can refine the description and add necessary information to make it stay on Wikipedia. Thanks! Kriksu (talk) 19:42, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Question
Hello Riana, I am writing to you on behalf of the University of Alberta. We are investigating the boredom topic you are administrator of. We were wondering if you could help us out on a couple questions? 1) Can you tell us who is contributing the most/more often to the boredom topic? 2) Who entered some of the original material; 3) Who is contributing most recently; 3a) Are they academics on the topic or people from the general public? Contextualizing these question: By "entered" we are looking for those entries of original material, not grammar, or spelling editing. By "most recently" we mean those who have entered significant content most recently. If you could help us out on these questions it would be greatly appreciated. If we need to contact other administrators, just let us know. Feel free to contact me on my talk page. Thank you for your time--Redcdr (talk) 17:10, 28 January 2010 (UTC) Christopher —Preceding unsigned comment added by Redcdr (talk • contribs) 23:13, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Quote on your userpage
Hi Riana, On your userpage, you have a quote, "Bread feeds the body, indeed, but flowers feed also the soul" which you attribute to the Qur'an. While I find a number of google hits for this phrase, there is no such verse in the Qur'an. You can verify this for yourself by searching these three renowned English translations for "flower" and "flowers."' While I understand this is your userpage, I still feel that we risk misinforming Wikipedia's readers about this very serious and important subject. Might you consider removing this fake verse?24.22.141.61 (talk) 07:13, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * This isn't mainspace. Riana could even put a picture of a dog, and label it a kitten if she so wishes :) &mdash;Dark 11:29, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * An excellent argument for deleting userspace. Still, my guess is that Riana didn't bother to check whether this actually was in the Qur'an, and probably wouldn't knowingly post a fake quote.24.22.141.61 (talk) 10:08, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * But this discussion is frivolous. If Riana decides to remove the quote, it's her choice. &mdash;Dark 11:05, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

OTRS Check
Please review the OTRS ticket 1178257. It has come under scrutiny recently, please review the following related discussions (here, here, here and here). The e-mail address apparently was a yahoo e-mail address which is very atypical for a public library to be using, that compounded with another photograph by Kay Tobin Lahusen (File:BarbaraGittings_in_Phaldelphia_1969.jpg) has another dubious OTRS ticket from another library claiming copyright. It's very likely that these pictures are all owned by Kay Tobin Lahusen, and not any of these libraries or papers. Unless the OTRS ticket is from a verifiable official e-mail of the library (likely on their domain) and it includes clear indication they have the explicit copyright release from the photographer, then it should be deleted as a copyright violation. — raeky  T  02:46, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest
Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

Orphaned non-free media (File:San Francisco Giants logo 2000.png)
Thanks for uploading File:San Francisco Giants logo 2000.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:07, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Administrators&oldid=526254016#Restoration_of_the_tools_.28proposal.29 recent change] to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
