Hello stardust girl
Thanks for wellcoming, i'll ask you if i have anu problem. (Marc Spoddle (talk) 17:44, 2 June 2010 (UTC))

Welcome
Thanks for the welcome and if its not too much trouble, I have a couple of question to ask. I created the article Gustav Wachtmeister and I took my references from a book. What am I supposed to do in regards to proving that it is not fake as I cannot link it to a website so I'm a bit stuck. I am also having trouble linking it to various categories and i get confused very easily so any help would be appreciated. cheers Eaiere (talk) 17:54, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Request for Help
Greetings Stardust, I recently posted:

Greetings, My name is Tom McCarthy and I am a newly self-published author. My book "Get Naked: Stripping 101" was two years in the creation and contains observations of over nine years of work as a strip club DJ. The goal of the book is two-fold: 1) help newcomers to the world of exotic dancing understand what they are getting into before they take the plunge. And 2) Help strippers morph into professional exotic dancers. The book entered publication in May of 2010 and is in it's first printing. R.R. Bowker issued the official ISBN-9780615365855.

Unless I am mistaken, I then received what I think is a welcome message that I would take to be an invitation to create an article for Wikipedia on my book. However, I am somewhat unsure if my subject matter is acceptable and worthy of Wikipedia's roving editors. Miss Stardust, am I to believe you've given me a greenlight to proceed with my article? And if so, is this the place and forum I need to address editorial concerns by Wikipedia? I'm semi-literate in this manor of communication here in Wiki-Land, please advise.

Page deletion
Hi

I was trying to edit the I Am Number Four (novel) page today, I couldn't access the sandbox area and thus entered my additions [UK publication date and official website links] straight onto the to the live page, which I think might have caused the problems?

I didn't create this page, I just wanted to add in information for the UK, however I think it's been taken as spam, which wasn't intended.

Is there any way to get this page live again?

Thanks so much for your help.

Rubylaru (talk) 15:26, 3 June 2010 (UTC)rubylaru

Thanks for your response. As I didn't create the page originally, should I wait and see if the owner tries to revert it first? Rubylaru (talk) 15:52, 3 June 2010 (UTC)rubylaru

Thanks again, and this is my last question, promise! How do I find out the creator's name then? Rubylaru (talk) 16:29, 3 June 2010 (UTC)rubylaru

Problem with User page
The tabs that you have (the ones that say: About me, Barnstars, etc...) do not work anymore. There is now no button to click to show the information under them. I don't know if this is because of the new Firefox I downloaded but it might be. Winner 42 ( Talk to me! ) 19:30, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

The similar tabs don't work either. I have version 3.6. Winner 42 ( Talk to me! ) 21:17, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your welcome, and a request for help
Dear Stardust,

First and foremost, thank you for your warm welcome and generous offer to help!

I have just created my first Wikipedia article about Siddharth Kara, author and expert on modern slavery. Please could I trouble you to have a quick look at the article, and give me your advice and assistance on how to improve it before I move it to the article space today, so that it has the best chances of being accepted?

I did have one question about the author photo. I contacted the author about an author photo for this article, and he told me I could use the standard author photo that he provides to all websites or media that request it. Do I need the author to write to an authority at Wikipedia confirming his permission? Also, which tags do I use in the "summary" and which option do I select in the "licensing" menu when I am uploading the photo?

Thank you so very much for your time and insights, in advance!

And again, thank you for your warm welcome!

Question from Graham Thomson
I have recently read "The Complete Short Stories of Raffles" by E W Hornung and discovered when I looked up one of the short stories on Wikipedia: The Gift of the Emperor that it is factually incorrect on several points (where it was set, involvement of the British Foreign Office etc.). I would like to know if Hornung wrote two versions of this short story and if not how one goes about correcting the Wikipedia entry. I have posed my questions on the article's discussion page and wondered if this was the correct approach to get an answer? Thanks Gnthomson (talk) 13:04, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks so much!
Stardust,

Thank you so much for the recognition and the barnstar. I'm a regular Signpost reader, which is how I came across the Children's literature WikiProject and the backlog that needed attention. As I was reading the WikiProject Report, it looked like a fascinating project to spend some time with, and it was certainly time well spent! Thanks again.

Adopt-a-user reminder
Hello, I have completed a general cleanup of the adopter information page for the adopt-a-user project, located here. During my cleanup, I have removed several inactive and retired users. In order to provide interested adoptees with an easy location to find adopters, it is essential that the page be up-to-date with the latest information possible. Thus:


 * If you are no longer interested in being an adopter, please remove yourself from the list.
 * If you are still interested, please check the list to see if any information needs to be updated or added - especially your availability. Thank you.


 * You are receiving this message because you are listed as an adopter here.

An update from adopt a user
Hi there ! You may be wondering, what have I done to sound the alarm this time? Nothing. I'm messaging you in regards to the adopt-a-user program, which currently has a backlog of users wishing to be adopted. This doesn't make much sense, as we have a considerable list of users offer adoption, so there shouldn't be any backlog. I've begun to eliminate this backlog myself through a matching program, but I need your help to make it work. Of course, adoptees and adopters don't have to go through there, but I believe it helps eliminate the backlog because someone is actively matching pairs.

On the list of adopters, I have modified the middle column to say "Interests." It's easier working with other users that have similar interests, so if it's not too much to ask, could you add your interests in the middle column? For example, if I was interested in hurricanes, computers, business, and ... reptiles? I would place those in the middle column. Counter-vandalism and the like can also be included (maintenance should be used as the general term). The more interests, the better, since adoptees can learn more about you and choose the one they feel most comfortable working with. The information about when you're most active and other stuff can go into the "Notes" section to the right.

Finally, I've gone around and asked adoptees (and will in the future) to fill in a short survey so adopters can take the initiative and contact users they feel comfortable working with. We all know that most adoptees just place the adopt me template on their user page and leave it - so it's up to us to approach them and offer adoption. So, please take a look at the survey, adopt those that fit your interests, and maybe watchlist it so you can see the interests of adoptees and adopt one that fits your interests in the future.

Once again, thank you for participating in the adopt-a-user program! If you wish to respond to this post, please message me on my talk page.

Changed importance level
Just though I would let you know I changed the importance rating to the R. L. Stine article for the Children's literature project from high to top as R. L. Stine is considered the #1 bestselling children's author in history, beating J. k. Rowling and Dr. Seuss, so I figure he'd be of top importance to the project. If you disagree with this importance rating, let me know. Thanks. Fearstreetsaga (talk) 01:20, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi Stardust

I haven't always time to find citations, but have studied and taught across several subjects pertaining to Mesoamerica, early Africa, Aboriginal Australia etc. I am finding my contributions on many pages have been entirely undone (deleted) though it was meant to expand the often limited content of the said pages, and none of what I wrote was controversial. What can I do about this?

Hi Strdst grl!

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!

I apologize for bothering you but am seeking guidance about a page that was supported through an edit by you on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Nicole_van_Dam - the underlying article is now up for deletion - I wanted you to know because I've worked so hard to keep it up to date, and would be sad to see it deleted. I'm willing to make changes to save it, and since this started (Dec 28) I've added more links and cites to bolster the page, but the situation seems to remain and I am not sure how best to resolve it other than by continuing to add more cites.
