Hi Angela. I notice that you deleted a stub on this three years ago. It's not clear to me why. It's an immensely important book. Cooke (talk) 12:15, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, Just thought I'd drop you, and the other sydneysiders who came to the meetup, a line and mention that the first edition of the Dictionary of Sydney's online, peer-reviewed journal is now live.
The Sydney Journal is the first (and most academically rigorous) "product" of the Dictionary. It will be a quarterly publication with a variety of texts from upcoming Dictionary articles and is hosted by UTS E-press. This edition features 4 thematic articles, 6 ethnicities and 5 suburbs - all specifically related to Sydney.
I hope you find it useful and interesting - If nothing else it's essays are eminently referenceable for their corresponding articles here on WP.
Great to hear the news. It's a pretty ring, too. --Michael Snow (talk) 17:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello Angela,
I am zh:User:Wing on the chinese Wikipedia. In en-Wikipedia I use the user name user:Philopp because user:Wing here is already occupied. But this user has not been active since 2003, so can you rename my user name so that I can make it identical with my other accounts? Thanx.--Philopp (talk) 08:54, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi Angela
Hi, Angela. You may not remember me. I am user Davichito. I was seeing my talk page and I remembered you. I just wanted to say Hello, and I wanted to say that I have come back to edit articles. And your picture is really good, if that is really you. hehe. I hope to hear from you soon (if this message does not get deleted for being just nonsense). If you like it I will send you a chapter of a sci-fi tale of mine. Bye.
Me again. David (talk) 02:52, 28 March 2008 (UTC). Just testing this button. Bye.

Hi Angela, I'm Ken123 an administrator on nl.wiki. since a couple of days we have a new extension, as you know: MergeAccount. But Ken123 is already registered on en.wiki. User:Ken123 isn't active on this wikipedia, so, I hope you could help me out with this ;-) (Someone is using my name on another wiki, how can I get that account?).

G'day esteemed person who has expressed interest in Sydney based meetups at this page (I hope that's the correct wording for the formal greeting!!). You may have heard that Australia is to have its very own 'chapter' of the Wikimedia Foundation - and further, there's a meeting coming up to discuss / enact the chapter's incorporation (details here). I'm afraid that I don't know too much about the details of what this entails, other than having a private hope that we might get a secret handshake, and maybe cheap coffee at wikimania (this is a poor attempt at humour - I'm sure that the Chapter's do great work, and it's a good thing that Australia is to have one).
If you're interested in meeting up this weekend (the set date is the 20th) - or later, then please do head over here and sign up, or make a comment at the talk page... the drive to create the chapter has largely come from another town in Australia that I'm afraid I haven't actually heard much about.. and anything they can do.... right? - cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 11:11, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
I showed an official reference instead they made edits without references-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenshinhan reference number 30 is not official but it comes from a fan page which means they made unsourced editions several times.

G'day sydneysider - fancy a 'not quite a meetup but a few drinks' sort of thing? - We can chat about the new aussie chapter, the price of eggs and have our very own 2020 Wiki Summit! - or just sink a couple of cold ones and gass bag about the good 'ol days of wiki, when an editor could get some repsect (not a typo)! I've suggested something here so take a look and sign up if you're up for it... cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 02:29, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Why was this page deleted? Swami Sivanandha is one of the Gurus who is generating the importance of Hindusim.
Yesterday I tried to create my first Wikipedia entry, on the notable American poet Michael Lally. It was instantly deleted. There is nothing I can find to indicate why you deleted it. I have combed through the various Wikipedia pages on this subject, but still can't figure out where I went wrong. Please help. Thanks you.

I did a template called {{HasSpoilers}}. As you are from Wikia.com too, you should know why we use them for. An admin deleted it here and called me a vandal! I am very sensitive and I am sending a copy to you of what I answered to him. Maybe you can explain me Wikipedia policy different from Wikia.com policy.
The vandalic template content was:
to be included in The Celestial Plot. I should have pasted there instead of creating a template, but I am lazy... I prefer templates. And he put this on the template:
This includes blatant and obvious misinformation, and redirects created during cleanup of page move vandalism.
Misinformation? It is a template to be included in articles, I am not claiming that Wikipedia is a spoiler or something as that admin seems to think... Strange, no? I did not understand the thing about cleanup of move, I understand Wikia policies, it seems that Wikipedia policies are harder for my poor brain.
And I paste here my answer to him:
>Sorry, I did not know about policies here. I come from Literature Wikia and >there we have a template {{spoiler}} to include the >warning. I don't think which is the case for deleting, explain to me, >because I will just include it in some short stories articles that contain >spoilers. > >*Isn't it the same than just pasting the whole sentence? >*Which is the policy? Please say the policy in words me to read a 100 >paragraphs article about wikipedia policy. I don't have much time. If you >won't then don't even bother to answer. >*Is creating a useful template being a vandal? Then we should not create >them? >*I was not "testing" but you said me to use the sandbox. It was to be >included in articles. >*Check http://literature.wikia.com and see that there it is not considered >spoiling. And don't answer me that wikia is wikia and that wikipedia is >wikipedia because I already know, I am not so idiot.
>If some of this sounded rude to you, I felt someone was rude by deleting it >so fast. You could have said that to me first then deleting it.
>And I am not a vandal, please stop harassing me. Being ignorant is not >vandalism. Vandalism is deleting articles and including nonsense. My >template was not nonsense, I think, it is useful.
>David (talk) 01:38, 4 May 2008 >(UTC)
My questions to you are: Am I right or not? Or that template was the devil itself in ways that I cannot imagine?
I am not right, I think I should go back to Wikia.com. At least there, I am not called a vandal for unknown reasons. I am not weeping, but I claim to be treated like a user; I am not a vandal for creating a simple template that everyone in Literature Wikia uses, am I?
I hope you could help me, I admire you since your first welcome to me here back in 2003...
Maybe I change the text to This article contains spoilers, but I do not dare to make it again without asking first... David (talk) 01:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Forget about it, I just read the idea behind not allowing the spoiler warning in Wikipedia, they say it has no sense for an encyclopedia. David (talk) 02:24, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. I suggest you link to a news about an earthquake in Colombia, 5.3 Richter in the Main page, in section news. If you please, link to Earthquake on Colombia 2008-05-24. I don't know the format of news here, so everybody can help with data. In Colombia, we do not have much data about the event; I took it from a US earthquake website. If you can help us by putting the news on the main page, we Colombian people would be grateful. Thanks...

I like to think I have a good idea of where to go for just about any question or discussion on en.wiki, but this one really does have me stumped. Over at Wikipedia talk:Text of the GNU Free Documentation License#Standards we're having a bash at playing a little (emphasis on little, don't worry :D) with this page. I've come to realise that there's absolutely no reason whatsoever why we need to have a local copy of this page at all: would it be a good idea to move the page, and presumably all its companions on every other wiki in every other language, to a central page, possibly foundation:Text of the GNU Free Documentation License. What do you think? Good idea? If so, how do we go about doing that (do you have an account at foundation:?)? I'll be watching here, or at that discussion - wherever's most convenient.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Obfuscated Perl Contest, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

G'day all - I'm dropping this note in to let you know that there's to be a Wiki Meetup the week after next, on Tuesday, 21st at 18:00 at The Paragon in Circular Quay. If you've ever thought about popping along to one of these, but haven't had the chance - now's the time! If you love the idea, but the time and / or place don't quite work for you, please do feel free to wiki edit away at the meetup page and I'm sure we can sort something out :-) Meetups are a great way to share wiki-thoughts, meet wiki-friends, and generally learn how to prefix all areas of your life with wiki- :-)
It's a very friendly bunch, and we're hoping to be able to formally collect membership fees and details for the Australian Chapter (did you know that we're the only current english speaking chapter? Join now for kudos and future bragging rights!) - as well as just generally have a good 'ol time. I look forward to seeing you there :-) best, Privatemusings (talk) 07:48, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I'm Kiril Simeonovski, administrator on Wikipedia on Macedonian language. I want to propose and ask for something which, for me is good to implement using wikia. My idea is to create a chess server, which can be used by the users on Wiki. For me there are good oportunities to introduce something like this. I think, this would be a big step for the wikia goals, and for me, the most important question now is how to make wiki remarkable in other non-encyclopedic fields as soon as possible?
But, actually, the most important thing is that wiki lives of Wikipedia.
Please, think about this, and answer to me. Regards.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 00:15, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Whilst it's quite likely you'll have heard this news on the grapevine, in your email inbox, or even in person - I thought that it was sufficiently exciting to warrant giving each of you a 'new messages' orange bar! This particular orange bar has been brought to you to let you know that Wikimedia Australia is now open for members!
I'm not on the committee or anything, and that's where the credit is due in getting everything to this point, but I think it would be absolutely fantastic for folks who wish to support the australian wiki community, to go ahead and sign up - we're quite likely to be the world's fatest growing chapter at the moment! Join Us :-)
Here's a little more about membership, and the mailing list in particular is well worth signing up to as well, and is a good forum to get answers to any questions answered, or to share any ideas. I've dropped these notes in under my own steam, and you've received one because you're on this list - feel free to ask me any questions, or anything - I can certainly point you in the right direction :-) cheers all, Privatemusings (talk) 04:03, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Come along to find out a bit more ;-) - you can sign up here - and do feel free to edit that page with any more ideas or suggestions too :-)

Why aren't you interested in developing our own WikiMapia system? Wouldn't a WikiAtlas sister project be useful to wiki media? Dr. Blofeld White cat 15:57, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I did mention it at the Meta Wiki before but any discussion seems to get overidden with other discussions underneath and in the end it ends up being only two or three people commenting on it! I think that a WikiAtlas sister project would be a great idea and whereas with WikiMapia it is just a map with names, our own Atlas project could have the articles on wikipedia wiki linked on the atlas or at least a summary comes up when you hover over a place name etc so we take the maps a step further by actually providing information about these places by linking to wikipedia. Like WikiMini Atlas but obviously more professional looking maps and details, showing highways, towns and villages, evne landmarks like notable govenrment buildings and churches, airports etc with labels like wikimapia when you zoom in on them. It would also fit in with standard encyclopedias which always have a proper atlas for reference usually in the center. I just thinking that the information provided on maps should be part of our overall project goal to provide knowledge and the goal which WikiMapia is trying to achieve, "with the aim of describing the whole world" is pretty much our own philosophy within reason. I think the wiki project is large enough in scope to make it successful eventually. I know a great deal of people look for maps on the web of places for a reference but where we could differ from google and wikimapia in this respect we would have info summarised about these places too rather than just location. If given time to develop it might even help generate more traffic towards the site and project in the long term if more and more people use it for a reference when looking for maps too. I would very much like to help make something happen in this area, could you mention it to anybody on the board or suggest how we might start a fuller discussion on it? Thanks. Dr. Blofeld White cat 11:32, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi all, it's Meetup time again :-) - Hopefully you'll be up for meeting on April 22nd at about 6pm at The Paragon, a pub in Circular Quay. It'll be the usual round of drinks and chit chats, with no particular agenda, just some friendly faces, and a shared interest in Wiki stuff. If you've thought about coming along before, but haven't made it - we'd love to see you - it'll be a relaxed, social chin wag about all things wiki - bring anyone along you fancy, and I hope you can make it :-)
Please do sign up on the meetup page, and do also feel free to nominate an alternative time / date / location if for whatever reason the 21st doesn't work for you - we're an accommodating bunch :-) cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 04:11, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello Angela,
Pleased to meet you! I would like to request your assistance concerning a universal account. My (user)name is Atlantia, and I'm an active contributor to the greek wikipedia. I have recently created a SUL account, and everything went fine, but it seems to me that there is a user conflict in the english wikipedia. Using the "SUL username collisions detector" I have discovered that another user has a created an account with my username (earlier than me to be honest). However, it seems that he or she has not a user page nor discussion page nor contributions. If that's the case, would it be possible for me to use the username "Atlantia" in the english wikipedia as well?
Thanks in advance for your help. Please, feel free to contact me in my discussion page. 22 April 2009

I did not succeed in re-asking for manager on the adequate page.
Is it possible for you to provide me a definitive manager status (and ask it for me in the right place) ?
I did not succeed neither in recopying the set of special characters available under the page when changing it (as the "ahessåvès letes" in Walloon Wikipedia).
Also a general Model from Wiccionaire to Wikipedia (I invented some very simple ones Wikipedia, Wikipedia2, 3, and Wikipedia4 a little better). But they could be better !!!
Thank you if you can help me (the first manager on Walloon Wiki, Mr Sarachaga, has not leisure time for the moment to work with me on Wiktionary; he provide the most parts of the interface of Walloon Wikipedia. I am rather a provider of content.)
Thank you in advance
Lucyin (talk) 20:29, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
OK for 3 months. I will complete the models and try to have other walloon dictionarists working on Wiccionaire.

Hi Angela. I am wondering if you can kindly point me in the direction of the discussions that brought about the usage of fair-use images here on enWP? I'm really interested in the rationale that was used to permit the upload and usage of non-free images here as there have been some efforts to get it going over at simpleWP. I understand that a lot was discussed on mailing lists initially but I don't know which or when. Thanks in advance and thanks for helping to get Simple English Wikipedia going in the first place; feel free to drop by any time!! :) Yours, fr33kman -simpleWP- 21:49, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I have nominated Simple English Wikipedia, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Simple English Wikipedia. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Dear Angela, I've been told by the portuguese wikipedia bureaucrats that I should ask all the other wikipedia bureaucrats to change my account name in their wikipedias so I can unify my acount all over. My acount name here is "Saracsoares" and in pt.wikipedia.org is "Sara©SF". I have searched for the way to apply for this but I haven't found so I'm comming directly to you for help, if you may give it. I picked your name because it was said in the list of bureaucrats that you where active and online through out the day. Thank you for your trouble. Sara©SF (talk) 13:38, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

There is a ideological censorship about porn in the Hebrew Wikipedia, this is the current policy: here translated to English. You cannot create an article about a porn star unless she or he became famous for something else (like Traci Lords because she is a singer/actor or Ilona Staller because she is a politician). "Character's life there is another aspect to meet the criteria of encyclopedic value. Action porn is not enough to win about Hebrew Wikipedia." "Not displayed pictures of her body except the portrait of the character, even if the figure wearing a Catholic nun.", "There will be no external links to sex sites." and etc.
You can talk to User:Yonatan or User:Amire80 to confirm this.
I think it's a strong violation of the global Wikipedia (The Free Encyclopedia)/Wikimedia rules and of WP:NOTCENSORED policy.
I think you should force them to change this policy.
Sorry for my bad English.
Thanks.

Hi all,
It's meetup time again in Sydney - hopefully you'll be able to come along for friendly chat and drinks about all things wiki - topics will no doubt include the Chapter - perhaps with planning for the upcoming AGM, the general state of wiki-play, and the traditional candle lighting to encourage the mythical flagged-revisions extension to make its way on to the wiki. At this point, I usually mention that sitting wiki arbitrators are compelled to buy everyone a drink, but one of our number has taken a rather extreme route in avoiding this duty - if you have no idea what I'm talking about then you're probably busy writing and maintaining articles - but come along anyways on the 21st October, from 18.30 til late, to find out :-) cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 21:32, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Any chance you could contact some language schools and colleges to help practice their language skills by translating from Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki? For this to be a success we need numbers. Publicizing that we need translators in any language I think is an important step to make. Have you browsed French, Spanish and Italian and German wikis for instance. There are several million articles which we could benefit from having them translated into english... Himalayan 09:13, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
OK thanks for letting me know. Do you not think though that wikia has a responsibility to try to meet its goals, one of them "producing an encyclopedia of the highest standard". Given that well over half of our existing encyclopedia and million of missing articles need instant improvement by translating from a different language whether it is Italian municipalities which have remained one liners for years or German castles or whatever don't you think we need to be doing something to publicize this need for translators? I think we should be doing more to publicize the need for this sort of work on wikipedia and we are missing thousands of potential contributors who are unaware of this demand for translators. I think that if the people who run this site are serious about improving quality we should be doing a lot more to contact schools and universities and any other potential contributors to raise awareness. I mean I know that wikipedia is one of the most popular sites on the web and used by millions of people, the problem is that it is not edited widely by a similar number.. For instance see Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki/German. At present we have just 4 German-English translators. How many people in the world speak German and English and how many quality articles are there on German wikipedia which are in urgent need of translation..? How do we attract the mass of people needed to translate if we don't do anything to make potential translators in schools or whatever aware of it?. Himalayan 13:24, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
There appears to be a group of individuals who consistently impede any constructive additions to the article in question. Undoing and blocking all editions pertaining to users outside their nest of selections.
The editing recently done to this article has been referenced to credible sources, some already available on other related articles, regardless of the fact of the neutrality displayed in the additions manifested in the facts and phraseology in use.
It would be detrimental to Wikipedia if a consensus is not reached on this question pertaining to all articles not only this one. If the material being added is not significant it would be understandable, yet where the facts could be correct and the community interested in the subject at hand are in conflict with the manner of its publication, the rational and professional solution would be to offer an alternative to the edition being proposed. Simply deleting and blocking any attempt to contribute to this and any other article in a constructive manner can only be viewed as autocratic in the least and a hypocrisy of what the globally renowned Wikipedia stands for.Wsa1 (talk) 22:22, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Can you please do something about this? There are a small group of editors that keep harassing me by constantly insulting me and then requesting that I be banned. It has gotten well out of hand and I feel that the bureaucrats as a whole need to step and tell them to stop it. Here is an attempt by them to get me banned Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Wiki Greek Basketball. I am 100% confident that there must be some kind of site policy that is against trying to wrongly get people banned and doing it simply out of some sort of hatred or personal issues. I don't know what exactly to do about this other than to report it directly to a general group of people. That is why I am telling you and all the others directly about it. Because reporting it on the noticeboard is not working and does not work. As long as only a small group of people are involved they are able to harass you and get away with it. Please kindly tell these editors to stop harassing me and to not bring any false abuse reports against me again and please tell them to not attempt to wrongly ban me again. I thank you very, very much if you will help me with this. Thank you sincerely for any help as it will be greatly appreciated.Wiki Greek Basketball (talk) 09:46, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello Angela! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 939 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

I reach out to you, in part, because of a speculative thread you initiated in 2003 at meta:Wikipedia needs editors -- here. In the months since I created Teachable moment, the topic has taken on an unanticipated personal relevance. I wonder if you might consider joining other co-mentors in a mentorship committee for me?
Perhaps you might consider taking a look at an old edit at Wikipedia:Mentorship#Unintended consequences? In the search for a mentor deemed acceptable by ArbCom, I cite this as a plausible context for discussing what I have in mind.
I am sending you an e-mail as well. Please contact me by e-mail or on my talk page. --Tenmei (talk) 04:57, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Angela! I need to help, as User:Doremo keep at edit war in the article of prekmurian dialect. Doremo constantly constrain to the names Prekmurje dialect, Prekmurje language, and Slovenian language, Slovenian dialects, Hungarian Slovenians. In the english wikipedia Slovene language, Slovene dialects, Hungarian Slovenes articles is legibles, accordingly the Slovenes the received name. I know account for the prekmurian language, prekmurian dialect also received, grammatically convenient names. Doremo allude to the tractate of the american linguist Marc L. Greenberg, where Greenberg use to the Prekmurje language name. But yet Greenberg and the dean of University of Maribor, Marko Jesenšek also accept to the prekmurian norm. See also: STYLISTICS IN ADVERTISING TEXTS IN PREKMURJE. My mother tongue is the prekmurian, and few speakers be for to the name prekmurian language, prekmurian dialect. Besides i care to shortly presentate to the prekmurian in SIL international, that enrol this language with name prekmurian. Doncsecztalk 16:50, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Angela I am writing to you because you were one of the first in the list of bureaucrats. My user name is Lilit Gabyan. I used to be an admin in Armenian language wiki in 2005 as user Lilith. Then I stopped being active because of some personal problems. Quite recently I decided to return back and was astonished to see that for Four years so little has been done in the site as compared to other language sites. So I felt somewhat excited and responsible for doing something. I am an educated adult and hope I do not sound as capable for indecent and offensive behaviour, violating Wikipedia ethics because these were exactly the charges for banning my IP for three days. I had dared to ask the admin HOW MANY OPINIONS ARE MAKING THE VOICE OF COMMUNITY and something like WHO IS THE CLEVER GUY that has broken the links in all articles to other language wikis without cleaning up so as the word is blue but linking to nowhere. Whatever I want to regain adminship because I see I have a lot to do in the Armenian wiki but I feel that the current admins are very prone to abusing their power and I am afraid that there is some sort of admin brotherhood conspiracy so they will resist by all means the entry of a new admin through community voting, as long as they are the most active participants pushing away all newcomers with different viewpoints. I understand the adminship acquiring and regaining processes in each wiki are internal affairs. But in this particular case there is no bureaucrat in the Armenian wiki and 6 young male admins are going astray without a balancing voice. The community is not active and there is a danger of continuous collective power abuse. The statistics of the Armenian wiki are quite eloquent. Would you please be so kind as to advice me what can I do to regain adminship. I had more than 1500 edits in the course of the first two weeks of April. And my IP closure came like a bucket of ice water in the middle of saving an article that I had worked on for several hours. First I was so disappointed that I had decided not to return. I have had enormous emotional stress in the course of these three days. Now I am determined to stay and work for regaining adminship as long and as much as it takes. I will highly appreciate your advice --Lilit Gabyan (talk) 20:04, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
