Hi Anna, Thanks for your work on this new article. As I said on the gastropod project talk page today, it looks as though it may have been started with a COI problem, however I have been trying to rescue it and make it into something worth keeping. So, did you find that the author restored text that you had deleted? Invertzoo ( talk) 20:57, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Oh, dear Anna. Or "Oh dear, Anna" - depends how personal you want to get. I've just trawled through List of Ror. Never before have I come across a situation such as this: not a single entry in the list survived the cut. I've left what I hope is a fairly decent explanation at Talk:List of Ror but this one may make List of Ezhavas look like chickenfeed.

hello Anna! it's my first time to write to u. i hope it wouldn't be disturbing. i don't know whether this message works, but i just wanna have a try.
when i logged in today, i felt very depressed. because the recent two articles of mine both met some troubles. i thought maybe u could help me or give me some suggestions.
i wrote an article about a famous kind of brocade from Nanjing. it is called Nanjing Yunjin. Yunjin is the Chinese name of brocade. i don't know why it has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. the reason is it does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant. i think it is so famous in Nanjing.
what's more. another article of mine is being discussed for deletion. i am confused why this cannot be included in Wikipedia.
i really hope u can help me.thank u! i am looking forward to receiving from u.

Hi, Sorry I have made some mistake in using wiki. This is a requirement from me teacher to add sth to one article.Also, it is my first time to use wiki as well. I have add something to the chinese cuisine again.Please feel free to share your opinion. In china, vegetable seasoning and so on is not considered as Staple food. Only the things made with rice wheat are considered is. I have revised several time,but someone has just revised it back. Should I revise it again?

Hi Anna, Because you really know how to use your very excellent brain (!), I am asking you this: I am currently working on improving and expanding expanding a National Lampoon template and I am creating articles for the red links where the things are notable. Do you know, is there there a way I can divide the template so that there is one major part of it for all the productions of National Lampoon (magazine) dating from 1970 to 1998, and then a separate part of it for National Lampoon, Incorporated a modern company dating from 2002? The first part would contain radio, theatre, books, recordings and films, the second part would contain radio, recordings, and films (including direct-to-video).
If there is not a good way of doing this then it may end up that there have to be two templates, but we want to try having it all in one template first. I also asked Ganesh this same question. Thanks Anna, Invertzoo ( talk) 22:46, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello Anna Nice to see you "hiking" in the Ribeira valley ;) You wrote an article about Jacupiranga State Park (around 150,000 hectares). If Jacupiranga State Park is a State Park, then I wonder why {{Protected areas of Brazil}} template lists it as a National Park. pt:Vale do Ribeira#Parque Estadual Intervales states that pt:Parque Estadual Intervales, pt:Parque Estadual Carlos Botelho, Estação Ecológica de Xitué, pt:Parque Estadual Turístico do Alto Ribeira (PETAR), pt:Parque Estadual de Jacupiranga and Zona de Vida Silvestre da APA da Serra do Mar form the Paranapiacaba ecological continuum of more than 120.000 hectares. What do you think? P.S.: I see it now, portuguese version states too that Jacupiranga State Park has around 150,000 hectares and IUCN categorises it as National Park.

I've done some digging, and I fear the situation is too messy for me to handle. Here's what I found:
I have reverted the IP's latest edit to Sahiwal, but the other two pages are more complicated. Sahiwal Division has been changed pretty signifcantly since the copy-paste. Do we still revert to the pre-copyvio version in these situations? Or are we supposed to try to revert and then insert any legitimate changes (groan)? I'm not sure whether the original insertion into Sahiwal District is a copyvio--Google wasn't very helpful, and that page has had even more changes. I think we should:
I have left a note on User talk:JunaydAnwar asking them not to copy-paste without attribution. As a sidenote, while digging through the history, I found that earlier versions of Sahiwal District were far cleaner and better-structured than the current version. :( Ah well. wctaiwan ( talk) 11:08, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
I removed huge chunks from division and district. Some, but not all could be proved copyvio. But, large blocks of well-written text with some verbatim copyvio is good reason to remove all.
Dug into JunaydAnwar and found more in other articles and removed.
Nothing further found from Drfighar.
Case closed as far as I'm concerned. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 03:13, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello Anna:

It's about putting pictures into the articles. I'm not sure about the source of the pictures because I just saw it online and downloaded it.

Hi there,
Thanks for the edit/comments. Here are my replies:
A. I am afraid, I would not agree about notability. See, in notability guidelines for Journals, a Journal is notable since it is indexed in a large number of Bibliometric Indices. This one is indexed by a large number of databases including Thomson Reuters Master List, who release the yearly JCR Impact factor. Once a journal is indexed, exactly one year from the indexing date, the journal is given an impact factor. B. The text was not meant to be promotional. Actually I copied-pasted the Journal scope from Springer's website introducing the Journal and give its original link. Can you kindly go to the site and verify yourself? Thanks. Here is the actual words from Notability guidelines: "The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the journal is included in the major indexing services in its field. Examples of such services are Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Scopus.". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academic_journals) As such, this journal is listed in the Science Citation Index. C. Incidentally, my source for the Journal infobox was another Journal article page that I had started earlier and was accepted. Please see Wiley-Blackwell's European Transactions on Telecommunications Page. :)
Thanks so much for the time anyways. Based on the above, I feel that the article is appropriate for Wikipedia as it is. (e.g. Thomson Reuters listing and Wikipedia notability guidelines for Academic Journals). As such, please let me know your thoughts and how should I proceed next. Thanks.

I wanted to let you know that some editors are discussing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of allergies whether the article List of allergies should be in Wikipedia. I encourage you to comment there if you think the article should be kept in the encyclopedia.
The deletion discussion doesn't mean you did something wrong. In fact, other editors may have useful suggestions on how you can continue editing and improving List of allergies, which I encourage you to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Help Desk.

An editor recently told me that responding by interjecting comments anywhere is wrong -- that all replies should come in a group at the bottom. I don't know if that's right, but it sounds wrong. From what I understand, if it's below a signature, it's fine. But, I know that splitting up others' posts by inserting comments within is a no-no. Melonbarmonster pointed that out to me ages ago. In this case I don't mind because: 1) it's helpful, and 2) we're friends. But, others may strongly object if you do it on their talk pages. If that happens, just plead insanity, vandalize the talk page of an article you created with "this article is tripe!", and trout your own page. The complainant will usually back off after that. :) Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 01:11, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Anna, I noticed that an IP-address editor a few days ago changed the seashell template by putting it into the class "plainlist" which removed the pale background. Any idea why that might have seemed like a good idea? To me it looks uglier now. Should that edit be rolled back, or what?
Also, since you know more about templates that I do, can I ask you about this template on National Lampoon stuff? A few weeks ago it much smaller, with maybe one third as many links, but in that time I have added about 40 new stubs that fall under this topic. There are a few more to add that I have not done yet. My main question: is this template way too big now? Does it needs splitting into two or more templates?
Very best wishes to you, Invertzoo ( talk) 15:36, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks Anna. I rolled back the seashell template. The National Lampoon template isn't exactly my baby. It was first created in a much shorter form by someone who was blocked after only 4 weeks on WP and who was using several sock puppets. I believe that person had been hired by the modern, post-2002 company to make their Wikipedia coverage more impressive. I tried to rescue the template by expanding it greatly to make it comprehensive. The original stuff from 1970 to 1985 was brilliant. Then the magazine was kept alive barely until 1998. When it was sold, for 15 years they just franchised the name out. And then in 2002 the modern company bought it and are making absolute drek. It's hard to know what to do with the template really, but I could not let it stand the way it was, even though I had to make 40 or 50 stubs to fix it. If you have any brilliant ideas let me know.

I'm not in the habit of verifying the reliability of sources used in lists like "list of fictional birds" or of verifying that the sources demonstrate notability. Frankly I have very little knowledge of which sources would be considered reliable in this context. Thank you for adding the ref, though. That's good enough for me.

Hello, being a new member here on wikipedia i was not very much aware of policies. In few of my work in did copy paste like in Government Post Graduate College Sahiwalbut it does not mean that every article i edited or wrote was copied. Sahiwal Division is one of those articles on which i have deep research and have read many books. i did not copy pasted anything these. and the information that i took from other sited i gave the reference for that. i don't know why you deleted all that part written by me. if you find any issue, you can label that article for discussion but please do not delete everything. it takes a lot of energy and time to write an article and when you delete it this way, it really discourages especially new users. thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by JunaydAnwar ( talk • contribs) 07:44, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
:To clarify: I reverted an entire string of edits you made to several articles. I did so because some or all was copy pasted in each article. I did not want to pick through it all. Some was references to books or sites I could not access. Once I saw that you had done this with several articles, I no longer felt that I should take the chance that some content in a large block with unaccesible sources was not copyright violation. I just removed the whole lot. You will find this with other editors too. When some of the content is copy pasted, the assumption is that the rest may also be, and the whole string is reverted. As you did this with several edits, I just went through your contributions, looked for copyvio, and when encountered, removed the whole block. The onus is on you to provide good content, not half good content. By the way, it took me most of an hour.

Hi thanks for the message,
I would actually like some help thanks for asking. I am wishing to make a wikipedia page for a body builder who is prestigious in Australia and wish to include a photo in that wiki page. Therefore I will need to do 10 edits, and have been a member for 4 days in that correct.
I have made like three edits so far, can you somehow check to see if these edits are correct and only need 7 more then I can become a proper member who can upload pics.
Is this possible to be done by 25 december as this is when i wished to have the wiki site live, or is there other things I will need to consider?

i wrote an article about a famous kind of brocade from Nanjing. it is called Nanjing Yunjin. Yunjin is the Chinese name of brocade. i don't know why it has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. the reason is it does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant. i think it is so famous in Nanjing.

Hi Anna, Because you really know how to use your very excellent brain (!), I am asking you this: I am currently working on improving and expanding expanding a National Lampoon template and I am creating articles for the red links where the things are notable. Do you know, is there there a way I can divide the template so that there is one major part of it for all the productions of National Lampoon (magazine) dating from 1970 to 1998, and then a separate part of it for National Lampoon, Incorporated a modern company dating from 2002? The first part would contain radio, theatre, books, recordings and films, the second part would contain radio, recordings, and films (including direct-to-video).
If there is not a good way of doing this then it may end up that there have to be two templates, but we want to try having it all in one template first. I also asked Ganesh this same question. Thanks Anna, Invertzoo ( talk) 22:46, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

I've done some digging, and I fear the situation is too messy for me to handle. Here's what I found:
I have reverted the IP's latest edit to Sahiwal, but the other two pages are more complicated. Sahiwal Division has been changed pretty signifcantly since the copy-paste. Do we still revert to the pre-copyvio version in these situations? Or are we supposed to try to revert and then insert any legitimate changes (groan)? I'm not sure whether the original insertion into Sahiwal District is a copyvio--Google wasn't very helpful, and that page has had even more changes. I think we should:
I have left a note on User talk:JunaydAnwar asking them not to copy-paste without attribution. As a sidenote, while digging through the history, I found that earlier versions of Sahiwal District were far cleaner and better-structured than the current version. :( Ah well. wctaiwan ( talk) 11:08, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
I removed huge chunks from division and district. Some, but not all could be proved copyvio. But, large blocks of well-written text with some verbatim copyvio is good reason to remove all.

Hello Anna:
I'm Tracy from a Chinese class. I appreciate all that you have done for us. And I hope that we can help each other to improve in the future. Here I've got a question to consult you. It's about putting pictures into the articles. I'm not sure about the source of the pictures because I just saw it online and downloaded it. I know that pictures that are put into the articles should have clear sources. So I can't add it to my article, right? So how can I ensure my pictures can be legally added?
Thank you very much. And I hope to receive your answer soon.
Best regards, Tracy — Preceding unsigned comment added by NNU-02-05100129 ( talk • contribs) 15:49, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi there,
Thanks for the edit/comments. Here are my replies:
A. I am afraid, I would not agree about notability. See, in notability guidelines for Journals, a Journal is notable since it is indexed in a large number of Bibliometric Indices. This one is indexed by a large number of databases including Thomson Reuters Master List, who release the yearly JCR Impact factor. Once a journal is indexed, exactly one year from the indexing date, the journal is given an impact factor. B. The text was not meant to be promotional. Actually I copied-pasted the Journal scope from Springer's website introducing the Journal and give its original link. Can you kindly go to the site and verify yourself? Thanks. Here is the actual words from Notability guidelines: "The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the journal is included in the major indexing services in its field. Examples of such services are Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Scopus.". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academic_journals) As such, this journal is listed in the Science Citation Index. C. Incidentally, my source for the Journal infobox was another Journal article page that I had started earlier and was accepted. Please see Wiley-Blackwell's European Transactions on Telecommunications Page. :)
Thanks so much for the time anyways. Based on the above, I feel that the article is appropriate for Wikipedia as it is. (e.g. Thomson Reuters listing and Wikipedia notability guidelines for Academic Journals). As such, please let me know your thoughts and how should I proceed next. Thanks.

This is a hegemony Anna-a white male supremacy. Machismo boisterousness. Jimmy invented Wikipedia no one can take that away from him, but they should put some Africans in, or Chinese, as you say. They see white & it's a host of terrifying reactions. I wish you could see white people thru black eyes-these are the children of those that have made them slaves, people that call them n****gers or worse. They live with racism constantly!!! I don't trust whites & I'm white myself!!!How much worse for 'blacks.'

Hello, Anna Frodesiak, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!
I wanted to let you know that some editors are discussing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of allergies whether the article List of allergies should be in Wikipedia. I encourage you to comment there if you think the article should be kept in the encyclopedia.
The deletion discussion doesn't mean you did something wrong. In fact, other editors may have useful suggestions on how you can continue editing and improving List of allergies, which I encourage you to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Help Desk.

An editor recently told me that responding by interjecting comments anywhere is wrong -- that all replies should come in a group at the bottom. I don't know if that's right, but it sounds wrong. From what I understand, if it's below a signature, it's fine. But, I know that splitting up others' posts by inserting comments within is a no-no. Melonbarmonster pointed that out to me ages ago. In this case I don't mind because: 1) it's helpful, and 2) we're friends. But, others may strongly object if you do it on their talk pages. If that happens, just plead insanity, vandalize the talk page of an article you created with "this article is tripe!", and trout your own page. The complainant will usually back off after that. :) Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 01:11, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Anna, I noticed that an IP-address editor a few days ago changed the seashell template by putting it into the class "plainlist" which removed the pale background. Any idea why that might have seemed like a good idea? To me it looks uglier now. Should that edit be rolled back, or what?
Also, since you know more about templates that I do, can I ask you about this template on National Lampoon stuff? A few weeks ago it much smaller, with maybe one third as many links, but in that time I have added about 40 new stubs that fall under this topic. There are a few more to add that I have not done yet. My main question: is this template way too big now? Does it needs splitting into two or more templates?
Very best wishes to you, Invertzoo ( talk) 15:36, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks Anna. I rolled back the seashell template. The National Lampoon template isn't exactly my baby. It was first created in a much shorter form by someone who was blocked after only 4 weeks on WP and who was using several sock puppets. I believe that person had been hired by the modern, post-2002 company to make their Wikipedia coverage more impressive. I tried to rescue the template by expanding it greatly to make it comprehensive. The original stuff from 1970 to 1985 was brilliant. Then the magazine was kept alive barely until 1998. When it was sold, for 15 years they just franchised the name out. And then in 2002 the modern company bought it and are making absolute drek. It's hard to know what to do with the template really, but I could not let it stand the way it was, even though I had to make 40 or 50 stubs to fix it. If you have any brilliant ideas let me know. Best, Invertzoo ( talk) 13:06, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
P.S. I took out your little bit of markup around the nowiki segment because for some reason it had prevented word-wrap on your answer and my answer.

Hello, being a new member here on wikipedia i was not very much aware of policies. In few of my work in did copy paste like in Government Post Graduate College Sahiwalbut it does not mean that every article i edited or wrote was copied. Sahiwal Division is one of those articles on which i have deep research and have read many books. i did not copy pasted anything these. and the information that i took from other sited i gave the reference for that. i don't know why you deleted all that part written by me. if you find any issue, you can label that article for discussion but please do not delete everything. it takes a lot of energy and time to write an article and when you delete it this way, it really discourages especially new users. thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by JunaydAnwar ( talk • contribs) 07:44, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
:To clarify: I reverted an entire string of edits you made to several articles. I did so because some or all was copy pasted in each article. I did not want to pick through it all. Some was references to books or sites I could not access. Once I saw that you had done this with several articles, I no longer felt that I should take the chance that some content in a large block with unaccesible sources was not copyright violation. I just removed the whole lot. You will find this with other editors too. When some of the content is copy pasted, the assumption is that the rest may also be, and the whole string is reverted. As you did this with several edits, I just went through your contributions, looked for copyvio, and when encountered, removed the whole block. The onus is on you to provide good content, not half good content. By the way, it took me most of an hour.

Hi thanks for the message,
I would actually like some help thanks for asking. I am wishing to make a wikipedia page for a body builder who is prestigious in Australia and wish to include a photo in that wiki page. Therefore I will need to do 10 edits, and have been a member for 4 days in that correct.
I have made like three edits so far, can you somehow check to see if these edits are correct and only need 7 more then I can become a proper member who can upload pics.
Is this possible to be done by 25 december as this is when i wished to have the wiki site live, or is there other things I will need to consider?
