Re: AFCIt just sounded like an advert to me anyway. Including directions on how to get to location X isn't exactly encyclopedic. I'm sure we'll have an article on it eventually, as "places are notable" does (for better or, more often, worse) seem to be general consensus, but it's not getting created by me unless it's neutral. ;-) See you around AFC.

Teacher in SpacePlease STOP deleting my web page. Barbara Morgan IS featured in the documentary AND there are video clips of her on the web page. The film is a GOOD educational tool of the Teacher in Space program and has EVERYTHING to do with Barbara Morgan. Who are you and why does it bother you so much? Renee—Preceding unsigned comment added by RFS111 ( talk • contribs) 00:13, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Maybe you do not know that Christa McAuliffe was the first Teacher in Space and now as Barbara Morgan says, she is "the second." We are friends with Barbara and she is a big supporter of this documentary, so please stop this nonsense of removing our web link. Again, who are you to make this decision for the public? Renee —Preceding unsigned comment added by RFS111 ( talk • contribs) 00:38, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
ShameFor sure, you can cut the semantics. You're deleting my "web link" which is not nice. I guess you are one of those space folk who want to distant Barbara from Christa. What a shame. And shame on you for denying the relevance to Barbara with the Teacher in Space program and Christa. Apparently, you have endless time on your hands, so you win. But by not seeing the connection of the film, Christa McAuliffe: Reach for the Stars and Barbara Morgan is a slam to Christa's memory and the Challenger crew. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RFS111 ( talk • contribs) 01:06, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I have improved that page since then but I was wondering if you could help me with one detail. I have a picture of a church at the top of the page that is very tiny. I copied it from another Wikipedia page devoted to that church. I would like to make the picture bigger so it takes up most of the empty space at the top of the Archdiocese page. Can you tell me what to do? Thanks for all you past help. NancyHeise 12:31, 24 September 2007 (UTC) Thank you, thank you, thank you.......Thank you for your extremely valuable help. I am using all of the information you have given me to help make the Archdiocese of Miami page better. You are really an asset to Wikipedia. NancyHeise 16:52, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

policy on making templates?Hi. :) Since you are the queen of interesting templates (so far as I know), I wanted to ask what the protocol is for creating new ones. I'm gradually working out some standard responses to situations I encounter a lot (you can see the formulas I'm using at the moment over here), and it would be awfully helpful if I could turn some of them into templates. (The copyright policy advisement is for those editors who've been warned through Twinkle or not at all, since the Twinkle advisement is not specific about policy and policy notification is required for speedy deletion under GS#12.) I don't want to stumble into sacred ground. :) -- Moonriddengirl 16:42, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
(Resetting indent) As a relatively technologically clueless human being, I am finding the guidelines difficult to follow. I'd be very grateful if you could tell me this: what do you type on a user's page when you are trying to place your Last Warning? If you could <nowiki> it for me, I think I might be able to figure out how to turn a section into a template rather than the whole page. :) -- Moonriddengirl 18:56, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

RE:Get WellThanks for that one Ariel. -- Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor 22:05, 27 September 2007 (UTC) National Civilian Community CorpsI would like to acknowledge your comment "I have a lot of time on my hands, so I hope that in the future, while I may not be memorable, I'll at least be remembered as having helped in small ways, to what I envision as a repository of knowledge for the future." In that spirit, do you have a comment about the removal of the majority of the contents from the NCCC page ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Civilian_Community_Corps)? Although the number of quotes listed is extensive, they are informative, authoritative, accurately referenced. They are in almost all cases (or in every case, given the vagueness of the definition of "fair use") excerpts that qualify under "fair use" in relation to the length of the originals. They are from reputable (at a minimum) sources, referenced so their authenticity can be verified. The content of the quotations provide useful information compatible with an Encyclopedia entry. The information in the sections "NCCC Work for People With Disabilities" and "NCCC and Veterans" [like the sections mentioned below, all now at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCCC_Accomplishments] is likewise sound. The Heading "Accolades" could be deleted and subsections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 (3.1 NCCC Disaster Mitigation, Emergency Preparedness, Disaster Relief and Recovery / 3.2 NCCC Fire Fighting and Fire Mitigation / 3.3 NCCC and Environmental Conservation / 3.4 NCCC and Education) could become Level 2 sections. There is much important - even valuable - information in those quotes that has been provided freely. Your advice about restoring the content in an acceptable fashion would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coterminous ( talk • contribs) 02:21, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Please NoteArielGold, here are my comments to the editor who moved content (and blocked restoration) and has taken up editing pen, (following that editor's original note). I have added a few lines that occurred to me too late. I am copying you since you did some work on the page and have been at this for some time. Reworking OK, someone made some spectacular additions, well researched and all spot-on. The problem is, almost all of it is in need of some serious re-writing and starts to make the article too long. See What_wikipedia_is_not. I'm going to start on this- it's going to involve some deletions. Please don't take them personally, however, Wikipedia isn't meant to be a legal brief in defense of NCCC nor an advertisement in favor of it. I'm also going to transfer much of this to a new but separate article on "NCCC Accolades" that will be linked in the main article heading. --LoverOfArt 23:44, 27 September 2007 (UTC) Hello, Lover of Art The additions you have moved off the National Civilian Community Corps page are/were mine. Thank you, I guess, for the compliment, but I ask you to carefully consider how to evaluate whether content is germane or extraneous. The "What Wikipedia is not" page you reference starts off: "Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia," which links to an internal definition: "a comprehensive written compendium." As I tried to indicate, NCCC is a complex organization. I am not (nor have I ever been) an NCCC employee or contractor, but I know that it works with a wide variety of organizations, has been involved in a wide variety of activities, is responsive to local, state, regional, national priorities, and assumes considerable responsibilities. Pulling together this information in an authoritative and verifiable manner takes space. To "streamline" too much would be like asking a blindfolded person to characterize the proverbial elephant based on a touch or two. I left the Criticisms section alone. Others are free to expand on that if they choose. If more authoritative and documented positive feedback exists, so be it. So, please consider the broader context of unilateral decision-making. Let the Wikipedia entry for NCCC be comprehensive. Seek advice, or pause, regarding how best to tone down any material you genuinely feel is in need of that, or that you think is superfluous. And I hope you will be receptive to some give and take. And then, in my informed opinion, the pages should be merged into a single, comprehensive entry. I am not sure how much more of my time to donate to this, since it seems like a decent chance this becomes a house of cards, eventually falling no matter how carefully done. Which is, when you think about, sort of a shame.Coterminous 03:41, 28 September 2007 (UTC) Coterminous 04:08, 28 September 2007 (UTC) I love the photograph on your user page!Ariel, I love the photograph of the STS-96 launch on your user page.

It is so beautiful. :-) -- Iamunknown 03:34, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Good job!Hi! I noticed your involvement with Elsayed Elsayed Wagih earlier, while I was trying out recent changes patrolling, and I liked the way you not only removed the repeated contribution, but went on to improve the article with important little additions too. I can see from your talk page that you hardly need the praise, but in line with the policy of promoting the positive that my secondary school instilled some years back, I thought I should at least say something, especially after seeing your username pop up somewhere else a little while back, and admiring your warning templates just now. So: nice work; you're a credit to Wikipedia. ObfuscatePenguin 06:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello m'dear!My pleasure. Music is the one area where I would dare claim advanced levels of expertise (20 years working in music, don'tcha know). Every once in a while I've gone behind an editor's back and created an article that had already been declined. In most cases I had to do a little extra work because references or content wasn't up to WP snuff (like today). I've been busy dealing with a sock whose user has been a thorn in my side for about a month now. It's my own fault for getting involved but it bums me out that I could've been doing actual helpful stuff around WP but instead spent most of the day dealing with nonsense. C'est la vie.

Teacher in SpacePlease STOP deleting my web page. Barbara Morgan IS featured in the documentary AND there are video clips of her on the web page. The film is a GOOD educational tool of the Teacher in Space program and has EVERYTHING to do with Barbara Morgan. Who are you and why does it bother you so much? Renee—Preceding unsigned comment added by RFS111 ( talk • contribs) 00:13, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Maybe you do not know that Christa McAuliffe was the first Teacher in Space and now as Barbara Morgan says, she is "the second." We are friends with Barbara and she is a big supporter of this documentary, so please stop this nonsense of removing our web link. Again, who are you to make this decision for the public? Renee —Preceding unsigned comment added by RFS111 ( talk • contribs) 00:38, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
ShameFor sure, you can cut the semantics. You're deleting my "web link" which is not nice. I guess you are one of those space folk who want to distant Barbara from Christa. What a shame. And shame on you for denying the relevance to Barbara with the Teacher in Space program and Christa. Apparently, you have endless time on your hands, so you win. But by not seeing the connection of the film, Christa McAuliffe: Reach for the Stars and Barbara Morgan is a slam to Christa's memory and the Challenger crew. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RFS111 ( talk • contribs) 01:06, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Hope it gets implemented! :) ~ Eliz 81 (C) 08:25, 24 September 2007 (UTC) Requesting help on image sizeDear ArielGold, You helped me significantly when I was a new editor trying to add material to the page Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami. I have improved that page since then but I was wondering if you could help me with one detail. I have a picture of a church at the top of the page that is very tiny. I copied it from another Wikipedia page devoted to that church. I would like to make the picture bigger so it takes up most of the empty space at the top of the Archdiocese page. Can you tell me what to do? Thanks for all you past help. NancyHeise 12:31, 24 September 2007 (UTC) Thank you, thank you, thank you.......Thank you for your extremely valuable help. I am using all of the information you have given me to help make the Archdiocese of Miami page better. You are really an asset to Wikipedia. NancyHeise 16:52, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Couple of thingsWho the heck was it I saw with a big ol' table of all their Wikimedia site accounts? I know you'll know. Also, looks like we've got three youngsters who cause a little bit of trouble between themselves when they first arrived, but it looks like their bad ways were youthful exuberance rather than wilful destruction. Want to help coach them a bit? — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 06:25, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your messageSorry I didn't spot your message straight away, but I looked at the offending page and it looked like a straightforward speedy deletion to me, so I deleted it! Deb 16:50, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

policy on making templates?Hi. :) Since you are the queen of interesting templates (so far as I know), I wanted to ask what the protocol is for creating new ones. I'm gradually working out some standard responses to situations I encounter a lot (you can see the formulas I'm using at the moment over here), and it would be awfully helpful if I could turn some of them into templates. (The copyright policy advisement is for those editors who've been warned through Twinkle or not at all, since the Twinkle advisement is not specific about policy and policy notification is required for speedy deletion under GS#12.) I don't want to stumble into sacred ground. :) -- Moonriddengirl 16:42, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
(Resetting indent) As a relatively technologically clueless human being, I am finding the guidelines difficult to follow. I'd be very grateful if you could tell me this: what do you type on a user's page when you are trying to place your Last Warning? If you could <nowiki> it for me, I think I might be able to figure out how to turn a section into a template rather than the whole page. :) -- Moonriddengirl 18:56, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
It is no problem at all, and no trouble! I'm not a template guru by any means, but things like this, I can do, and I enjoy doing them, so hey! I'm doing your A7 notice first. Ariel ♥ Gold 19:16, 26 September 2007 (UTC) New section so Ariel doesn't have to scrollWhoot! Thank you! :D I will now try my hand at it. It'll be a good thing if I know how to do it and fix it so I can do more. I'll probably be back with more questions if I run into trouble. :) -- Moonriddengirl 19:29, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Thank you.Thanks for the revert on my userpage. I think that anonymous user is speeding quickly towards a block. Most of his/her edits have been vandalism. At any rate, thanks again. --- RepublicanJacobite The'FortyFive' 18:45, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Spanish-language keyboardsHello, dear Ariel. A while back (when I changed my username) I told you that Spanish-language keyboards were different than American keyboards.

RE:Get WellThanks for that one Ariel. -- Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor 22:05, 27 September 2007 (UTC) National Civilian Community CorpsI would like to acknowledge your comment "I have a lot of time on my hands, so I hope that in the future, while I may not be memorable, I'll at least be remembered as having helped in small ways, to what I envision as a repository of knowledge for the future." In that spirit, do you have a comment about the removal of the majority of the contents from the NCCC page ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Civilian_Community_Corps)? Although the number of quotes listed is extensive, they are informative, authoritative, accurately referenced. They are in almost all cases (or in every case, given the vagueness of the definition of "fair use") excerpts that qualify under "fair use" in relation to the length of the originals. They are from reputable (at a minimum) sources, referenced so their authenticity can be verified. The content of the quotations provide useful information compatible with an Encyclopedia entry. The information in the sections "NCCC Work for People With Disabilities" and "NCCC and Veterans" [like the sections mentioned below, all now at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCCC_Accomplishments] is likewise sound. The Heading "Accolades" could be deleted and subsections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 (3.1 NCCC Disaster Mitigation, Emergency Preparedness, Disaster Relief and Recovery / 3.2 NCCC Fire Fighting and Fire Mitigation / 3.3 NCCC and Environmental Conservation / 3.4 NCCC and Education) could become Level 2 sections. There is much important - even valuable - information in those quotes that has been provided freely. Your advice about restoring the content in an acceptable fashion would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coterminous ( talk • contribs) 02:21, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Please NoteArielGold, here are my comments to the editor who moved content (and blocked restoration) and has taken up editing pen, (following that editor's original note). I have added a few lines that occurred to me too late. I am copying you since you did some work on the page and have been at this for some time. Reworking OK, someone made some spectacular additions, well researched and all spot-on. The problem is, almost all of it is in need of some serious re-writing and starts to make the article too long. See What_wikipedia_is_not. I'm going to start on this- it's going to involve some deletions. Please don't take them personally, however, Wikipedia isn't meant to be a legal brief in defense of NCCC nor an advertisement in favor of it. I'm also going to transfer much of this to a new but separate article on "NCCC Accolades" that will be linked in the main article heading. --LoverOfArt 23:44, 27 September 2007 (UTC) Hello, Lover of Art The additions you have moved off the National Civilian Community Corps page are/were mine. Thank you, I guess, for the compliment, but I ask you to carefully consider how to evaluate whether content is germane or extraneous. The "What Wikipedia is not" page you reference starts off: "Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia," which links to an internal definition: "a comprehensive written compendium." As I tried to indicate, NCCC is a complex organization. I am not (nor have I ever been) an NCCC employee or contractor, but I know that it works with a wide variety of organizations, has been involved in a wide variety of activities, is responsive to local, state, regional, national priorities, and assumes considerable responsibilities. Pulling together this information in an authoritative and verifiable manner takes space. To "streamline" too much would be like asking a blindfolded person to characterize the proverbial elephant based on a touch or two. I left the Criticisms section alone. Others are free to expand on that if they choose. If more authoritative and documented positive feedback exists, so be it. So, please consider the broader context of unilateral decision-making. Let the Wikipedia entry for NCCC be comprehensive. Seek advice, or pause, regarding how best to tone down any material you genuinely feel is in need of that, or that you think is superfluous. And I hope you will be receptive to some give and take. And then, in my informed opinion, the pages should be merged into a single, comprehensive entry. I am not sure how much more of my time to donate to this, since it seems like a decent chance this becomes a house of cards, eventually falling no matter how carefully done. Which is, when you think about, sort of a shame.Coterminous 03:41, 28 September 2007 (UTC) Coterminous 04:08, 28 September 2007 (UTC) I love the photograph on your user page!Ariel, I love the photograph of the STS-96 launch on your user page. It is amazing! I wish we had a higher resolution version of it... I tried looking on NASA web sites, but found nothing. Could you try looking (seeing as how you are a space enthusiast! ;-)). It is so beautiful. :-) -- Iamunknown 03:34, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Good job!Hi! I noticed your involvement with Elsayed Elsayed Wagih earlier, while I was trying out recent changes patrolling, and I liked the way you not only removed the repeated contribution, but went on to improve the article with important little additions too. I can see from your talk page that you hardly need the praise, but in line with the policy of promoting the positive that my secondary school instilled some years back, I thought I should at least say something, especially after seeing your username pop up somewhere else a little while back, and admiring your warning templates just now. So: nice work; you're a credit to Wikipedia. ObfuscatePenguin 06:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
KISHi Ariel. I moved the project banner down because I really don't like how the page looks with it, I would prefer without or at least as footer. Do you have any particular reason for having it or for having it at top? ℒibrarian 2 07:39, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello Ariel, I've expanded this section a little bit. If you have five minutes of time, could you please check if there are major mistakes (esp. I'm unsure about commas and word choice). If not that would also be fine for me. Cheers -- Oxymoron 83 15:06, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Hello m'dear!My pleasure. Music is the one area where I would dare claim advanced levels of expertise (20 years working in music, don'tcha know). Every once in a while I've gone behind an editor's back and created an article that had already been declined. In most cases I had to do a little extra work because references or content wasn't up to WP snuff (like today). I've been busy dealing with a sock whose user has been a thorn in my side for about a month now. It's my own fault for getting involved but it bums me out that I could've been doing actual helpful stuff around WP but instead spent most of the day dealing with nonsense. C'est la vie.
