Blank page edit

I can't resist. It's pulling me in! 8-O —  $PЯINGrαgђ  01:59, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hehe, I feel the exact same way when I see other people's blank pages. Especially the people who archive their pages really frequently, I always have this evil desire to write something dumb on their page everytime they do it, just to annoy them :p ~ Riana 02:02, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
I know the feeling - last time my talk page was blank (a full archiving), it felt wrong somehow, and I was really glad when someone came to ask me to undelete something. :p Nihiltres(t.l) 16:46, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

RFPP and adminship edit

  • It's okay, I did know, but thanks for telling me! :) I prefer to type it out because it's easier, and I'm more used to it. If I'm not supposed to type them out, I'll stop.
  • As for adminship itself, I'm doing fine, though earlier when protecting a page, I decided to shorten the time and mistakenly made it longer. If you check my recent logs, it looks like I protected a page four times when actually I was trying to fix the expiry time. Acalamari 02:40, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
  • Well, I haven't salted any pages yet. I'll have to look up what to do. As for you saying I'm doing a great job, thanks for that. :) Acalamari 18:06, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Deletion of Section on Paul Sloane edit

Why did you delete the section on author Paul Sloane?

It did not assert the notability of its subject ~ Riana 07:45, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

How did you know i was new??? edit

Are you an admin? If so, was it you who processed my information, or are you just on here all the time and know about absolutely everyone on here. Muffin Man 23 21:40, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

You don't need to be an admin nor be on here all hours of the day to know who's new. This information is normally in user logs. // DecaimientoPoético 21:45, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hehe, no, I created your account :) ~ Riana 07:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, and by the way, I've been to Brisbane on holiday. lol. Muffin Man 23 17:09, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Would You Entertain a Question? edit

On pages such as this, am I prohibited from adding comments since I am not an administrator? Just wondering - some of the discussions on this noticeboard are most interesting. Cheers. Dust Filter 22:27, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hey, of course you're allowed to add comments. Go for it :) ~ Riana 07:44, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

D'oh edit

"Another note: I help out with the unblock mailing list sometimes, and create accounts for other people in the course of doing so. Here are my user creation logs. Don't worry, I'm not creating a sockpuppet army ;)" I was just getting over the embarassment of ignorantly accusing PeaceNT of creating a sockpuppet army... now I'm having flashbacks. :) MastCell Talk 02:32, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Heh, it was partly in response to a similar accusation ;) ~ Riana 07:45, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
At least I'm not the only one. It's dangerous work, requests for accounts... MastCell Talk 19:53, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Arbitation evidence being vandalised by Sarvagnya (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) edit

Thank you for your prompt response.I had posted my evidence before the arbitation closed which I did and it is being removed by a accused editor.Please help.It should now remain on record

I had given my evidence before the case was closed on July 10th [1].The case was closed on july 11th and my evidence cannot be edited by an accused editor on july 14th Adyarboy 13:17, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm not really very experienced with arbitration cases and how the evidence process works, but you could probably ask one of the ArbCom clerks, eg Newyorkbrad (talk · contribs), Penwhale (talk · contribs) or Cbrown1023 (talk · contribs). ~ Riana 13:19, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

vandalism edit

it's not vandalism, the user had deleted a page which i had spent an extremely long time making, calling it due to 'copyright infringment'. Im sorry, but displaying a national football team's results is not at all breaching any copyright acts!

sorry i know i was annoyed tho ill do that now thanks

Deletion template overdue edit

An image deletion template is overdue, see Alison's talk page for the image Chaza1000 13:56, 14 July 2007 (UTC) P.S. thanks for the helpReply

Alison cannot delete that image, it is hosted on Commons. I can, however, as I'm a Commons admin. (Reminder to self, keep a closer watch on Allie's tlalkpage) ~ Riana 13:57, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
lol i am ashamed, you should be watching it day in day out, tut tut lol joking Chaza1000 16:20, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

RfA edit

Can you give me any tips on how to be a succesful RfA candidate? Chaza93 19:51, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Have you considered requesting an editor review? ~ Riana 06:21, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
No, i hadnt, thanks for the advice 17:53, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not going to be very active over the next week or so, would you mind taking it to WP:ANI? This matter certainly merits some discussion. Sorry, ~ Riana 06:20, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

AfD premature close edit

Hi Riana. I'm here rather embarassed 'cos I just replied to an AfD you already closed. I think you closed it prematurely as discussion was still active and a couple of single-purpose account users gave the mistaken impression of a keep. I have changed my vote upon reflection of recent evidence also. Can you reopen the AfD or tell me how to proceed? ॐ Metta Bubble puff 03:29, 15 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I try not to dismiss the opinions of SPAs just because they are SPAs - they often make good points. I thought the close was OK, but please feel free to relist it as a new AfD. ~ Riana 02:10, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Okay will do, thanks for the help. ॐ Metta Bubble puff 09:38, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Terrible poetry. edit

There once was a girl called Riana Who liked to eat peach and banana

But then came the wiki
And her keys got all sticky

From all of the vandals she ban-ners! Enjoy :). Will (talk) 15:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Riana's so cool, you just want to hug her.
At nineteen years old, we all like to bug her! :P
At all hours of night
Putting vandals to flight,
And keeps them from wanting to mug her!
Have a nice day. :) —  $PЯIПGrαgђ  21:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Oh, so true, we all want to hug her - and that's not because she loves the Python. Will (talk) 22:27, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Ah, terrible terrible poetry, but I love you guys :) ~ Riana 04:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
At least mine was better than Will's. :P —  $PЯIПGrαgђ  04:55, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Unprotection of Vladimir Putin edit

Hi, I just unprotected the Vladimir Putin article. Since you're the protecting admin, I figured I'd let you know. I unprotected it because a request on WP:RPP noted that there hadn't been much activity on the talk page (which there hasn't), so I thought it was reasonable to unprotect - it was full-protected nearly a week. If there's any problem with this, please feel free to revert my action and let me know. :) Nihiltres(t.l) 16:46, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Nope, no problems at all :) ~ Riana 04:45, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Copyvios? edit

Is it me or do I suspect the guy who is oftern mistaken for me is uploaded random pictures tagged as free...I doubt he has contacts with some guy in Korea to be honest. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:57, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Is he mistaken for you or are you mistaken for him? :p Most of them seem to be deleted, I'll take a look at some of the others... ~ Riana 04:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply


Whoa! edit

Man Riana, what is up tonight? I have come across two IPs in the last 3 minutes of people who are upset with you! I like it! Shows that you don't take too kindly to the vandals doing their thing around here. I'd say keep up the good work, but hey, you do that anyway. :) Jmlk17 05:05, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Wait where? lol ~ Riana 05:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
The one I kept reverting was an entertaining gentleman who appeared to have some past unresolved issue with you...or at least that's what I believed when I got past the 1:1 word to profanity ratio. Trusilver 05:08, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Oh, yeah, they have love for me in Modesto, California. I'm not sure what I did, but it feels warm and fuzzy. ~ Riana 05:10, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Ah, good times for all! Jmlk17 05:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Admin Coach edit

Hi, Riana. If you are not busy, can you please be my admin coach? If not, can you refer to me a person who is willing to help? Thanks. Miranda 22:24, 18 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well, I will be kind of easy to train. I have made some evaluations. I know that adminship is not a big deal. But I may run in the near future to see where I stand within the community. Thanks. Miranda 06:18, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

You're in bad standing! edit

You scored 0.5. YellowAssessmentMonkey 04:00, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hi Riana. I reduced the size of this picture. It was taking a lot of space on your talk page and the size of the picture was too exaggerating. Cheers. King Lopez Contribs 07:56, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Hey, Riana. I am wondering where are your awards? I can't find them. King Lopez Contribs 09:12, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Reggie Jackson edit

you should not have unprotected the Reggie Jackson page - massive edit wars. He played the most years with the A's, put up the highest aggregate statistics with the A's, won his only Most Valuable Player Award with the A's, and won more World Series with the A's, but spammers continue to change his info box to Yankees colors. It should be green and orange, that is most representative of his career. 192.234.99.1 14:38, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Reggie Jackson should be shown with green and orange A's colors. User mghabmw and IP 208.169.94.8 (who are one and the same) are constantly reverting. PLease help. Pascack 17:41, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I believe the resolution was to show A's colors with a Yankee photo, but mghabmw/208.169.94.8 continues to violate 3RR. Please advise. Hoosier95 17:49, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

What in the world were you thinking? The Evil Spartan 22:34, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
It had been protected for 2 weeks. If people cannot reach consensus on the talkpage, that lies somewhat outside my problem field. ~ Riana 02:25, 20 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thank you edit

Thanks for the quick and speedy enactment of semi-protection on my userpage. Vayne 07:11, 20 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

No problem! :) ~ Riana 07:12, 20 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thank You edit

When Nirav left, I almost gave up on it. But it was back when you said, Don't worry, we'll get it through. Thanks for your contribution in Bengali Language Movement. I hope I'll have the pleasure of working with you again. Thanks again and don't worry about the result. You'll do good, mate :) Tarif from Bangladesh 09:45, 21 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

My RfA edit

Thank you for participating in My RfA which closed successfully. I am honored and truly more than a little humbled by the support of so many members of the community. It's more than a bit of a lift to see comments on my behalf by so many people that I respect. I'll do my best to not disappoint you or the community.

On a personal note, I want to thank you for your very kind words of support. - Philippe | Talk 02:48, 22 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Userpage edit

Hey Riana, I have designed you a new userpage if you are bored with your current one. The colors are different and the picture as well. I am not as smart as Phaedriel so don't laugh at me. But I am trying my best at this. You can see the new design in my Sandbox If you like it you can copy it to your userpage and talk page. If you are not sadisfied with the change I can just blank my sandbox. What do you think? Do you like it? King Lopez Contribs 09:28, 22 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh hey, very pretty! I might use a slightly lighter shade of purple - I'm not really into very bright colours :) - but it's very nice! Thank you, it must have taken you some time to complete. Good one! ~ Riana 17:23, 22 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
