Desperate plea DxeditTalk to me please, I'm so alone! :'( Beating up DHMO further...editYes, but note that I didn't say when I'd find out how desysop him... don't hold your breath [Riana]. Then again, don't start breathing [H2O]. ;) By the way [Riana], what's with the cheesy "Talk to me please, I'm so alone. :'(" I see up there? :P · AndonicO Talk 01:48, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
ThankspameditThank you...
...for your participation, criticism, and support in my recent RfA, which succeeded with a final count of 90/1/1. I appreciate all of your kind words, criticism, and suggestions. I extend a special thanks to Acalamari for his nomination, and Dihydrogen Monoxide and Husond for their coaching and nominations. If you need help in any administrative matters, please contact me. Neranei This RfA thanks inspired by VanTucky's which was in turn inspired by LaraLove's which was inspired by The Random Editor's, which was inspired by Phaedriel's original thanks. bollyblogeditHi there, sorry.. but I have more concerns. Thanks. Sarvagnya 04:08, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Noooooo, you ruined your own user page....editIt used to be so purty.
BollywoodeditI'm just wondering Riana how if this website is invalid that they have an abundance of bang up to date images the very day the event happened? Regularly tens of images of events that happened earlier in the day are uploaded to the site with many different angles of people and events. Now if they didn't own such images and they were all copywrighted, I seriously doubt they would have been able to get hold of them so quickly and to have many different images of an event or people rather than just one or two -sometimes they have at least twenty and is it quite feasible. Is it so impossible that they do employ photographers in Mumbai who attend these events and they only use certain promo photos or screenshots to support it? It would be an incredible shame to black list the license because of the wrongly uploaded screenshots or promo photos when the majority , yes the majority appear to be amateur shots of a lower quality. All I can suggest is that it is strictly written into the agreement not to upload screenshots or promo photos under the license but it is clear that you've made up your mind, perhaps because you are as tired as I am of having to defend it. Now you never fully know who you are dealing with online but did Devendra honestly appear like some sort of mastermind criminal to you? I spent weeks trying to help wikipedia with this it is ridiculous how this has turned out. I seriously have doubts that we would ever get any images of these people if this is how licences are going to be cynically treated. Best of luck with your exams anyway you also must have had a gutful ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 12:36, 14 November 2007 (UTC) Riana I know you are busy but I really would appreciate you emailing me on this.

A good reason to ask for your tools back...editTwo words: Bathrobe cabal. Lara❤Love 15:22, 30 November 2007 (UTC) why you should be an admineditHi Riana, regarding this edit to your userpage, here are some reasons why you should become an admin again, starting with serious and becoming ludicrous as the list goes on: 1. You can block vandals, POV-pushers, etc. Seriously, I think you did a good job as an admin, and I would support you if you ever put yourself up to another RfA, but I think you understand why I'm not interested in the position myself. Hope all is well. Love, --Kyoko 17:03, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Heyyaedit![]()
I read it, and I feel sorry about myself. My grandparents wouldn't care about wikipedia if I showed them, the rest of my family dumps it and reaches for the nearest "Idiot's Guide to Life" (okay, maybe not, but they think "ah, the old fellow is wasting his life on that website again. Maybe he should get a job with Britannica instead."), and pretty much everyone in this town is more likely to vandalize than contribute. I'd feel fortunate if I were you Riana (makes me wonder where the world is headed... :/). · AndonicO Talk 01:36, 8 December 2007 (UTC) On RFPPeditYou were right, even for a featured article, the vandalism was heavy. The same old boring jokes are used all the time on that article, even when it's not on the main page. Some IPs were requesting semi-protection on the talk page too. First time I've protected the featured article as well I think. Acalamari 18:58, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Uranus EditProtecteditSorry about forcing that tag on the page, it's just that the pages' vanadlism being 2 a minute isn't much of an exaggeration. Thanks for being nice about it though. =) --199.227.86.10 (talk) 20:11, 7 December 2007 (UTC) Please restore this page. The user is using it as an excuse to ask for unblock again, after abusing it in the first place. If I could venture an opinion, you might want to consider not deleting user talk pages, but, if they have the tag, then moving it to the user page.

Could you check something?editHi Riana, is this of any concern (link)? I looked at the contributions so far and nothing raises any red flags at the moment. But if John Batiste is editing his own article, should we know that? If he's not actually General Batiste, should we know that too? Or should I just ignore, unless the edits prove to be problematic? If you don't have time to look into this, could you tell me where to make inquiries (if any need to be made). R. Baley (talk) 04:28, 11 December 2007 (UTC) Edited to add: I went ahead and left a note on his user talk page (diff or just User talk:Jbatiste). R. Baley (talk) 05:45, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

OTRS questioneditRiana, I recently corresponded with the user Laser braids (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), who has uploaded quite a few high-quality photos. Some people expressed concern that these photos were possibly copyright violations due to their quality, but I've confirmed via e-mail that the uploader is, in fact, the photographer & copyright holder Sarah Brannen. I'd like to place this confirmation on file with OTRS, but I don't want to have to add a ticket number to every single upload by this user (she intends to continue contributing photos, though I'm trying to point her toward the Commons). Would it better to leave a note on her (currently redlinked) userpage with an OTRS ticket number confirming her identity? Your wisdom would be appreciated. Videmus Omnia Talk 17:45, 12 December 2007 (UTC) Hi Riana, you've got mail. So do I... stuff piling up... eep! :)--Kyoko 15:39, 13 December 2007 (UTC) BRCeditWhat. Have. You. Done?!! Dfrg_msc 10:32, 14 December 2007 (UTC) You deleted my db-bio tag without notifying me. I tagged this guy as being non-notable because there is NO assertion of notability. Just being a politician does NOT make you notable. Otherwise, there would be a million articles on these people alone. To be notable, you have to DO something. If you disagreed with the db-bio tag, the proper thing to do is to put your own hangon tag. I'm going to tag this guy on afd. As far as I can tell from the article, all he has done is:
Who is this guy? Why would anyone want to know about him? This is what you have to put in the article. Otherwise, Wikipedia becomes a who's-who. As I understand it, that's NOT the idea. Cbdorsett (talk) 12:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Another OTRS questioneditHi, Riana! Please see [4]...could you please look up the details on that permission? What license was granted, and was it a blanket permission for images from that site, or limited to specific pictures? Thanks! Videmus Omnia Talk 17:30, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Image questioneditHi Riana, I have a quick question: If the copyright holder of an image wanted to restrict the availability of his email so that it wasn't on the image page, but could be obtained by anyone interested through OTRS, is that possible?
