Hi, thanks for the advice on appealing for the overturn on the deletion decision. I've posted on the deletion review page, and as is asks am informing you. Cheers :)

Hi there, thanks for the welcome. I'm not sure exactly what help I can give, but I'll try. I don't know much about different skaters' biographies, but I can tell the different jumps apart on TV without needing the announcer's help. I guess primarily I can help copyedit. -- Tachikom a 03:15, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Please restore Ilia Kulik's bio to his page. I wrote that bio for both his website (I'm the webmaster and Wikipedia). It is my original work and I posted it. It has also been approved by Ilia himself. I know you didn't know this. You can email me at nancy@kuliks-krew.com.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with this talk lists. I am originator and author of Ilia's bio. I did it for his website (I am the webmaster)- his agents use it for program bios, I use it for Ilia's PR as I see fit. I can't see why it came down without a note to the originator (me) or the website from which you thought it was stolen (me). Now I have an entire process to negotiate and hours to redo it. Can you please put it back up. I can be reached at nancy@kuliks-krew.com.

Hi Erica, You've helped me before, so I thought I'd come to you with a question about a bit of a weird situation. While new article patrolling today, I came across a vanity bio that looked like it was appropriate for userfying. The article is Kevin Scott. So, I was bold and went ahead and userfied. After doing that, the author moved the text back to the main space article about himself, and then redirected his userpage to the main space article. That seemed to me quite inappropriate, so I left a note on his talk page suggesting that what he'd done was inappropriate vanity, and that he should move it back. My question for you is two-fold...one, I wanted to check with an admin to make sure I'd done things correctly. Second, assuming he doesn't respond, what's the next course of action? Re-userfy? AfD? Your guidance would be appreciated! Akradecki 03:53, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Fang
I am very interested in the Spoken Wikipedia Project. I have Windows XP and Office 2003. I can copy and paste an article into Office Word and using the language bar make the Text to Speech function read the article and in the same time record what the computer says using Audacity then save it ( ogg format) and export it to Wikipedia. Is this legal?
By the way, I can't find a program that plays ogg format. Can you tell me about one, please?

Why are you ignorantly screwing up so many articles? Don't you understand English grammar? A science-fiction writer writes science fiction. One has a hyphen, the other doesn't.

- Actually English is my first language. And as this is a wiki, you may go ahead and change things as you wish; I will not reverse my edits, but I won't edit war with you either. My opinion is that "science fiction" does not have to be hyphenated, and I also don't agree that this is a "black and white" rule of English grammar. (Why don't we see " military-fiction" and " crime-fiction" and the like?) Additionally there seemed to be a consensus towards non-hyphenation, as the instances of "science fiction" far outnumbered "science-fiction", even when used as modifiers. As I said to Hayford, I don't wish to argue about this, so this will be my last message. Cheers. -- Fang Aili talk 18:26, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Erica. Remember a few weeks ago I asked you to look at some "Chinese" characters someone wrote on my home page? You said they were Korean. They are. I found an on-line translator for Korean and it seems they mean "this man is not really a man at all". I find it more amusing than insulting that someone would choose to write that on my page in such a cryptic manner. Thanks for helping me out with the "North and South Warwick" vandalism too. -- Dave 15:51, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Since you haven't responded to good-faith efforts to correct your rampant ungrammatical error through Wikipedia, I'm providing a list so that perhaps you can send a bot to correct the error within these time-stamp parameters. Ignoring your self-created responsbility will not make it go away. If you want to take it further, I'm happy to go into mediation or arbitration. -- Tenebrae 19:23, 20 September 2006 (UTC) hide very long list
Hiya, Fang Aili (does anyone shorten that to anything?). Recently I was approached [1] by some person who wanted admin coaching. I accepted, but what exactly am I supposed to do with them? I was gonna ask Petros who co-ordinates the programme but your name just appeared at the top of my watchlist, so you're the lucky recipient of this message. -- Steel 21:09, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I don't recall saying anyone was actually "whitebred," I said that's an image they want the city to portray through an article. As far as racism, I'll stop accusing people of it when they stop asserting their race privlege (i.e. saying phrases used by Blacks in Milwaukee aren't "legit" enough to be considered colloquailisms).
But I've noticed that you seem to be awfully on edge whenever someone mentions the slightest possibility of a racial bias... if you have a guilty conscious or whatever personal issues, deal with them on your own. Don't put messages on my page telling me to stop telling the truth just because you don't want to see it. -- Illwauk 18:28, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Again, saying that the logic one's using is racist is much different than calling a person themself a racist. I have been as clear as I possibly can about that, so I will not apologize, nor will I make any adjustments to my stances. If you feel personally offended, then, as I've said, that's for you to deal with. I've said in no uncertain terms that I'm here to get the truth out there and I'm completely indifferent to what anyone's personal feelings are about me. Therefore, your threat of pulling "rank" means nothing to me I have done nothing outside of the standards of wikipedia (although if any of my dealings with the wikipedia staff in the past are any indication, I wouldn't exactly expect them to be objective either). But like I said, do whatever you want. I'm not gonna lose sleep over being put out of some online "clubhouse" (if it were to come to that) -- Illwauk 22:28, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, Fang Aili! :) Your 13K edits aren't looking too shabby, either. Keep up the great work! :) Firsfron of Ronchester 04:17, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Erica, I've worked with you on various issues in the recent past, plus I know you do coaching, so I thought I'd ask you to provide some critical feedback. Now that I've been editing for about 3 months, it's time for a checkup, and I've put myself up for peer review at Wikipedia:Editor review/Akradecki, and would appreciate pointers for improvement. Thanks! Akradecki 18:46, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
I like the new layout format, but I think we should retain the current format until a universal template is decided. Also, It is nice to retain the links to the different events, so the reader would know exactly what each event entails, etc. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geoboe84 ( talk • contribs)
Hi!! -- No, the proposed deletion of Paul Arcelin is not a hoax, but I am afraid I had some difficulties with the templates, and originally tried tor a regular deletion, but accidentally deleted the template,so I remembered the speedy deletion process, and I figured someone would decide which was the more appropriate form of deletion. NOT A HOAX.
I apologize for any inconvenience.

Hi Erica- I noticed the LOTR synopsis disappear as well, and then come back. I assume it's because the article is getting alot of action right now. I'm new at editing and made a small change to the first section a little while ago. I've noticed that articles large enough to have sections and tocs, such as the LOTR one, often don't have a heading naming the top (intro/synopsis) section, and seem to never have a section edit link. Do you know if that's how things are supposed to be? I've been tempted a couple times to add a top section heading to articles, but wasn't sure if I should. - Eric (talk) 17:25, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
I would like to raise with you the issue of you recent deletion of my article on [J&P]. I summarize my argument below:
J&P is a household name in the Middle East having build most of the infrastructure in several countries, information which I started outlining in my article. For a country the size of Cyprus, it has had an impact similar, if not greater, to what Nokia has for Finland. Or Royal Dutch Shell to Holland. To put this in perspective for you, the figure of 14,000 employees translates to roughly 5% of the total employed population. It has a turnover of more than £1 billion. That’s greater than 10% of the GDP of Cyprus. If companies such as Crest Nicholson, McCarthy & Stone and Crosby Homes some of which are miniscule in comparison (definitely in real terms, more so in relative terms) are listed in Wikipedia I don’t see why larger companies that have had a more significant global impact (albeit in other regions of the world) should not be featured. One could interpret this as a double standards policy favoring companies such as those I site above on the grounds that they based in more influential countries.
Please note this was not an attempt to advertise J&P as I have no affiliations to this company whatsoever and in fact I morally agree that wikipedia should not be used as a platform for company advertising. The information I included was very similar to what's posted on the construction companies I site above. In fact I went a step further and used the infobox template to present this. As you might notice from my other articles too, I put quite a lot of effort to source independent references (one of which I included in the article) on the figures stated and the company’s international ranking.

You deleted the page I contributed, the "Sociological Research Association". A valid and important organization. Why? 01:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)October 2153EDT

I don't understand why took it upon yourself to delete. The SRA may be small (actually 245 members), but so is the US Senate or the Royal Society. In each case, these are elite organizations. The SRA is where the most elite sociologists in North America meet to network and to exchange ideas. It has had a long existence since the 1930s and at times of stress, has served as an alternative professional organization to the dominant American Sociological Association. I am past president, and will be happy to tell you my name privately.
As I entered the "Sociological Research Association" directly into Wikipedia, and it is now deleted, is there any way that I (or you) can undelete this entry and modify it as per your suggestions to show its importance? Bellagio99 17:30, 7 October 2006 (UTC).
Ms Aili, thanks for restoring SRA post, in principle. I went to edit to add the importance of SRA, as you suggested, but the entry wasn't in Wikipedia. I hope that I can just wait a few hours and do it later. But if not, I would appreciate your checking your reposting. (And yes, I did hit F5 and Ctrl-F5: possibly I don't understand Wikipedia fully, and these things take time). 21:20, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry to see you added yourself to the list. I went and made you some cinnamon buns... eat with tea, coffee, or hot chocolate; your choice. Take a break and let me know if I can help with anything. Feel un-stressed soon! — E ditor at Large (speak) 17:48, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi Erica, I'm sorry to hear that you're under stress right now. If you need to take a break off the Wiki, that's OK. Take care of yourself first. Hopefully the cloud that you are under will pass quickly, and you'll feel better soon.
P.S. I really do want to contribute more to your Figure Skating WikiProject, but I'm currently preoccupied with health-related subjects right now. I'll contribute more when I can. I figured out one way that I can contribute: translating content from French language sites for addition to English Wikipedia.

I assume you're referring to the little green plus, similar to the star that appears of Featured Articles? That was deleted a long time ago, actually, there are some editors who really don't like any type of "metadata", which is apparantly what is used to put the star on any article that is in the "featured article" catagory. The consensus in the GA project after the GA star was deleted was that the reason that the FA star wasn't deleted was because the FA project is large and well entrenched in Wikipedia, so they would just wait until GA was larger and more "legitimate" before trying again. -- PresN 18:50, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Although not exactly aesthetically pleasing, I think it would be nice to use the color-coding corresponding to the different disciplines as used by the ISU in their result tables, i.e. blue for mens, pink for ladies, green for pairs, and yellow for ice dancing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geoboe84 ( talk • contribs)

But I've noticed that you seem to be awfully on edge whenever someone mentions the slightest possibility of a racial bias... if you have a guilty conscious or whatever personal issues, deal with them on your own. Don't put messages on my page telling me to stop telling the truth just because you don't want to see it. -- Illwauk 18:28, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Again, saying that the logic one's using is racist is much different than calling a person themself a racist. I have been as clear as I possibly can about that, so I will not apologize, nor will I make any adjustments to my stances. If you feel personally offended, then, as I've said, that's for you to deal with. I've said in no uncertain terms that I'm here to get the truth out there and I'm completely indifferent to what anyone's personal feelings are about me. Therefore, your threat of pulling "rank" means nothing to me I have done nothing outside of the standards of wikipedia (although if any of my dealings with the wikipedia staff in the past are any indication, I wouldn't exactly expect them to be objective either). But like I said, do whatever you want. I'm not gonna lose sleep over being put out of some online "clubhouse" (if it were to come to that) -- Illwauk 22:28, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, Fang Aili! :) Your 13K edits aren't looking too shabby, either. Keep up the great work! :) Firsfron of Ronchester 04:17, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Erica, I've worked with you on various issues in the recent past, plus I know you do coaching, so I thought I'd ask you to provide some critical feedback. Now that I've been editing for about 3 months, it's time for a checkup, and I've put myself up for peer review at Wikipedia:Editor review/Akradecki, and would appreciate pointers for improvement. Thanks! Akradecki 18:46, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
I like the new layout format, but I think we should retain the current format until a universal template is decided. Also, It is nice to retain the links to the different events, so the reader would know exactly what each event entails, etc. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geoboe84 ( talk • contribs)
Hi!! -- No, the proposed deletion of Paul Arcelin is not a hoax, but I am afraid I had some difficulties with the templates, and originally tried tor a regular deletion, but accidentally deleted the template,so I remembered the speedy deletion process, and I figured someone would decide which was the more appropriate form of deletion. NOT A HOAX.
I apologize for any inconvenience.
Thanks! HOT L Baltimore 17:35, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
Can you tell me why the Cricketers Club page was deleted. There are many such private clubs listed under the private clubs category... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dazwest ( talk • contribs)
The idea to only put COTW tag on the talk page is inconsistant with many other COTWs. See:

Hi Erica- I noticed the LOTR synopsis disappear as well, and then come back. I assume it's because the article is getting alot of action right now. I'm new at editing and made a small change to the first section a little while ago. I've noticed that articles large enough to have sections and tocs, such as the LOTR one, often don't have a heading naming the top (intro/synopsis) section, and seem to never have a section edit link. Do you know if that's how things are supposed to be? I've been tempted a couple times to add a top section heading to articles, but wasn't sure if I should. - Eric (talk) 17:25, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
I would like to raise with you the issue of you recent deletion of my article on [J&P]. I summarize my argument below:
J&P is a household name in the Middle East having build most of the infrastructure in several countries, information which I started outlining in my article. For a country the size of Cyprus, it has had an impact similar, if not greater, to what Nokia has for Finland. Or Royal Dutch Shell to Holland. To put this in perspective for you, the figure of 14,000 employees translates to roughly 5% of the total employed population. It has a turnover of more than £1 billion. That’s greater than 10% of the GDP of Cyprus. If companies such as Crest Nicholson, McCarthy & Stone and Crosby Homes some of which are miniscule in comparison (definitely in real terms, more so in relative terms) are listed in Wikipedia I don’t see why larger companies that have had a more significant global impact (albeit in other regions of the world) should not be featured. One could interpret this as a double standards policy favoring companies such as those I site above on the grounds that they based in more influential countries.
Please note this was not an attempt to advertise J&P as I have no affiliations to this company whatsoever and in fact I morally agree that wikipedia should not be used as a platform for company advertising. The information I included was very similar to what's posted on the construction companies I site above. In fact I went a step further and used the infobox template to present this. As you might notice from my other articles too, I put quite a lot of effort to source independent references (one of which I included in the article) on the figures stated and the company’s international ranking.

You deleted the page I contributed, the "Sociological Research Association". A valid and important organization. Why? 01:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)October 2153EDT

I don't understand why took it upon yourself to delete. The SRA may be small (actually 245 members), but so is the US Senate or the Royal Society. In each case, these are elite organizations. The SRA is where the most elite sociologists in North America meet to network and to exchange ideas. It has had a long existence since the 1930s and at times of stress, has served as an alternative professional organization to the dominant American Sociological Association. I am past president, and will be happy to tell you my name privately.
As I entered the "Sociological Research Association" directly into Wikipedia, and it is now deleted, is there any way that I (or you) can undelete this entry and modify it as per your suggestions to show its importance? Bellagio99 17:30, 7 October 2006 (UTC).
Ms Aili, thanks for restoring SRA post, in principle. I went to edit to add the importance of SRA, as you suggested, but the entry wasn't in Wikipedia. I hope that I can just wait a few hours and do it later. But if not, I would appreciate your checking your reposting. (And yes, I did hit F5 and Ctrl-F5: possibly I don't understand Wikipedia fully, and these things take time). 21:20, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry to see you added yourself to the list. I went and made you some cinnamon buns... eat with tea, coffee, or hot chocolate; your choice. Take a break and let me know if I can help with anything. Feel un-stressed soon! — E ditor at Large (speak) 17:48, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi Erica, I'm sorry to hear that you're under stress right now. If you need to take a break off the Wiki, that's OK. Take care of yourself first. Hopefully the cloud that you are under will pass quickly, and you'll feel better soon.
P.S. I really do want to contribute more to your Figure Skating WikiProject, but I'm currently preoccupied with health-related subjects right now. I'll contribute more when I can. I figured out one way that I can contribute: translating content from French language sites for addition to English Wikipedia.

I assume you're referring to the little green plus, similar to the star that appears of Featured Articles? That was deleted a long time ago, actually, there are some editors who really don't like any type of "metadata", which is apparantly what is used to put the star on any article that is in the "featured article" catagory. The consensus in the GA project after the GA star was deleted was that the reason that the FA star wasn't deleted was because the FA project is large and well entrenched in Wikipedia, so they would just wait until GA was larger and more "legitimate" before trying again. -- PresN 18:50, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Why did you delete this page. Do you know who Simon Green is, do you understand why I put his page up. What's the story mate?
Sorry mate didn't leave contact details send me an email to sleeth@optusnet.com.au

Hi. You just speedy deleted Snowbooks. I was reviewing the article for possible speedy at the same time you were. I did find some information that could potentially bring the article up to stub. See this on printing A.A. Milne book. Do you have any objections to me restoring it? — ERcheck ( talk) 13:22, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Although not exactly aesthetically pleasing, I think it would be nice to use the color-coding corresponding to the different disciplines as used by the ISU in their result tables, i.e. blue for mens, pink for ladies, green for pairs, and yellow for ice dancing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geoboe84 ( talk • contribs)
