Hi!
My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.
I'd very much like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project.
Thank you for your time,

Thanks for the kind words and support. I am glad the block was quickly reversed. I don't need the admin to apologize, but I am a bit disturbed by his arrogance -- a dozen or more editors/admins telling him he was mistaken, and his response is "no, you are all mistaken, and I'm done discussing this." Very discouraging. Still, I'm glad the matter was succesfully resolved (and, I did learn a bit more of the vandalism vs. BLP nuances for future reference.) JoelWhy ( talk) 12:27, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
[Humor this old man of 75 please.......
So I visit the wiki page, this one, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawanishi_N1K and I want to include my photo of the plane I uploaded yesterday. There are four images appearing along the right border under the traditional main photo and statistics. The last of the four images carries the comment "The 343 Kokutai's Sjiden-Kai on display in the museum on the island of Shikoku." Immediately below that thumbnail photo I'd like to place/insert my photo. I will include an inscription that tells the configuration N1K2-J and its present location in the National Museum of Naval Aviation, Pensacola, Florida.
How do I go about placing my image in the precise spot in the article. I see lots of edit points throughout bot none under the four existing images. It is not writing skills I lack here, nor is it html lauguage skills. I'm willing to learn new tricks as an old dog but I need some training. To simply say place the statement in the article where you would like your photo to appear doesn't give me clear directions.
Yes, to answer your question that is my image that you identified in your initial reply.
I'm sitting up, I'm alert, talk to me please. Smile
Dikjenkins1 ( talk) 18:51, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
It's a done deal, thanks so much. Now if a guy wanted to move both of these images up, but within the 343 Kokutai section so they don't get into the Variants section just below, where would he relocate both lines of code to do that and allow the text to wrap?
Well...OohBunnies I couldn't stand the suspense and took a shot at it. Does the page look okay to you now? Should I have taken that liberty?

Hi OB!
I've been working on AfC's, saw your post on Mdann52's accepts, and thought maybe you would be a good person to ask for advice on this situation. It's not current, really, except for the extant articles already created. (User has collected a nice little set of CSD warnings, then Gilderien left a note, and the user seems to have stopped.) The user's contributions page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Vlas2000
What he/she has been doing is copying content from a Grecian museums website. There is no copyvio, because the source gives a share alike licence. But all of these articles have just been coming out like sausages, copy text, copy pictures, same format (not necessarily a bad thing!), and a lot of them, while suitable WP content by their nature, probably don't meet GNG.
Why am I bothering you with a non-problem? Because I just started patrolling new pages and would like advice on a good course of action if I should stumble across something similar in future. I registered in 2008, but have only really been active on WP in the last couple of weeks, so have very little active experience. Learned a LOT in working through about 150 AfC's in the last week though! :]
And - I believe there's a tool to give the user stats on their votes on AfDs (saw that on some Admin's page) and I wondered if there was a similar one to give me stats on my Accept/Declines on AfCs?
Finally, I hope you don't mind my little edit on your home page.... David_FLXD (Talk) 08:27, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello there OohBunnies! You may remember quite recently that User:Tomica had a problem at the Rihanna article where he was claiming that WP:BOLD edits should always be discussed with regular edits of articles first. Whilst you, myself and others informed him otherwise, he doesn't seem to have got the message [2]. I've invited him to a discussion at Template talk:Rihanna singles about the specifics, but I was wondering if you could speak to him about his general expectation that all edits made to pages he contributes to should be run by him beforehand. I'm sure he's much more likely to listen to you than he is me. Thanks in advance :) SplashScreen ( talk) 00:01, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes, IBANS don't stop the affected parties from being able to comment on the same AfDs etc, although they wouldn't be allowed to directly talk to each other. It's a big step, and I dunno if this dispute quite at that level yet, not that I can ever see you guys getting along. It makes bunny sad. OohBunnies! (talk) 23:42, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
How am I not to take it personally when you seem to like nominating articles I am involved with? Do you not see how that could some across? Surely you aren't that naive. You have a problem with WP:BEFORE. Personal life and Bennifer were deleted, so? Have I requested them to be un-deleted because I was upset about it? No, I haven't. I've moved on and accepted it; as I've pointed out to you previously. "I've noticed that Status and Tomica are very young (and perhaps I would've been like that if I was editing Wikipedia at that age), but I just wish they'd realise that Wikipedia is not a war between JLo fans and Rihanna fans or Beyonce editors and Gaga editors or between anyone and anything." Really? Where's the fucking war? I don't even know what you are talking about. And young? You don't even know my age. Statυs ( talk) 00:02, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Shush. Just when I think it can't get any sillier. Normally I'd say, "can't you try voluntarily staying away from each other" before mentioning IBANS but I don't know if any of could do that. Could you? And the fact is, I could make a thread somewhere, laying out some context and proposing an interaction ban but there'd be no telling the outcome. People might just think it's easier to block. (Oh, and I'm not an admin...just a regular editor like all of you.) And Splash, you are erring on the wrong side of the civility line, so lets calm down now, please. OohBunnies! (talk) 00:43, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Dear OohBunnies, My submission have been rejected again as a result inadequate referencing. This is my 1st submission and I do not understand what the required standards are. My submission is about my high school, there is no research publication with the school as subject. The information is from the school website, school annuals and articles written by the historical association of the town as well as o book about the founder. I have reference the information to the website and to wikipedia. What do you want more. The wiki page of another school which i used as template have only the schools own website as reference and that is adequate.

Dear Bunnie,
I would like to know what i should have to change on Octopus Music API article to make it approved. Yes, it is important to many music performance researchers - ask that to ICCMR(UK) LOL! - and many other universities using it across the globe.
I'm waiting for you advice.
Carrots and carrots to you.

Mike — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maiccof ( talk • contribs) 00:46, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Dear Ooh, Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I do not know when a reviewer will find the article acceptable. I wrote the article with my personal knowledge, I checked ( and reference) it with the website of the school that is independent from me. The fact are then cross checked and referenced to articles by the Historical association of the town. Other items are linked to other wiki pages and websites. The article is then still found to be unacceptable. As far as I know there are no researched documents or books about this little school in a small town in Africa. This is also not any deep scientific or controversial article neither will I gain anything from the publication, this is a just attempt to record the known history/background of the school. What must I do to get the article published? Pduplessis1 ( talk) 10:14, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Ooh Bunnies, thanks for taking the time to respond. I have submitted a personal photo on my wiki and was rejected on account I did not have the copyright information. I selected "edit" and then put in some verbiage that said it was a personal photo and that all rights were held by two individuals. It still did not pass. Can you give me insight into what I need to write to get the photo/image approved?

Just for the brilliant and wise advice : "The world is not going to end because someone told you to fuck off, or reverted your edits a couple of times. Look at some pictures of baby animals for a while instead of making that ANI thread and things might turn out better in the long run." I liked it so much, I made an essay out of it.

Dear OohBunnies!
There is another war break-out on the RacingThePlanet page. I've tried to act within the wiki guidelines - not deleting other people's content, going to the talk page to start discussions etc etc, but there is some blatant vanadlism going on - particularly from someone called Diligaf. There is a mass of subjective content being put on the page, and balancing content which I have put on the page has been outright deleted. The main content is about The Kimberley Ultramarathon inquiry and it's basically taken over the page. Because there are obviously some strong feelings out there I have suggested that it gets it's own wiki page. What do you think? I would also like to suggest a block on editing the page until other contributors come back and discuss properly on the Talk page. Please let me know what you think or what can be done to get people to discuss on the Talk page rather than this battle of deleting and reposting content.

I submitted a page but it was rejected because of bad references. I used the company's own website and US Department of Education approved catalog for the info. I've done this in the past without issue.
Can you tell me what other reference would have been better?

Thanks for the kind words and support. I am glad the block was quickly reversed. I don't need the admin to apologize, but I am a bit disturbed by his arrogance -- a dozen or more editors/admins telling him he was mistaken, and his response is "no, you are all mistaken, and I'm done discussing this." Very discouraging. Still, I'm glad the matter was succesfully resolved (and, I did learn a bit more of the vandalism vs. BLP nuances for future reference.) JoelWhy ( talk) 12:27, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
[Humor this old man of 75 please.......
So I visit the wiki page, this one, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawanishi_N1K and I want to include my photo of the plane I uploaded yesterday. There are four images appearing along the right border under the traditional main photo and statistics. The last of the four images carries the comment "The 343 Kokutai's Sjiden-Kai on display in the museum on the island of Shikoku." Immediately below that thumbnail photo I'd like to place/insert my photo. I will include an inscription that tells the configuration N1K2-J and its present location in the National Museum of Naval Aviation, Pensacola, Florida.
How do I go about placing my image in the precise spot in the article. I see lots of edit points throughout bot none under the four existing images. It is not writing skills I lack here, nor is it html lauguage skills. I'm willing to learn new tricks as an old dog but I need some training. To simply say place the statement in the article where you would like your photo to appear doesn't give me clear directions.
Yes, to answer your question that is my image that you identified in your initial reply.
I'm sitting up, I'm alert, talk to me please. Smile
Dikjenkins1 ( talk) 18:51, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
It's a done deal, thanks so much. Now if a guy wanted to move both of these images up, but within the 343 Kokutai section so they don't get into the Variants section just below, where would he relocate both lines of code to do that and allow the text to wrap?
Well...OohBunnies I couldn't stand the suspense and took a shot at it. Does the page look okay to you now? Should I have taken that liberty?

I removed your comment because I do not want a "resolved" issue ressurected again, aka my edit being reverted as Vandalism, this was sorted out with another user. OK, I've self-reverted, even though I was "right" /: the user who reverted me quoted a different guideline to the one that should be used.

Hi OB!
I've been working on AfC's, saw your post on Mdann52's accepts, and thought maybe you would be a good person to ask for advice on this situation. It's not current, really, except for the extant articles already created. (User has collected a nice little set of CSD warnings, then Gilderien left a note, and the user seems to have stopped.) The user's contributions page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Vlas2000
What he/she has been doing is copying content from a Grecian museums website. There is no copyvio, because the source gives a share alike licence. But all of these articles have just been coming out like sausages, copy text, copy pictures, same format (not necessarily a bad thing!), and a lot of them, while suitable WP content by their nature, probably don't meet GNG.
Why am I bothering you with a non-problem? Because I just started patrolling new pages and would like advice on a good course of action if I should stumble across something similar in future. I registered in 2008, but have only really been active on WP in the last couple of weeks, so have very little active experience. Learned a LOT in working through about 150 AfC's in the last week though! :]
And - I believe there's a tool to give the user stats on their votes on AfDs (saw that on some Admin's page) and I wondered if there was a similar one to give me stats on my Accept/Declines on AfCs?
Finally, I hope you don't mind my little edit on your home page.... David_FLXD (Talk) 08:27, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello there OohBunnies! You may remember quite recently that User:Tomica had a problem at the Rihanna article where he was claiming that WP:BOLD edits should always be discussed with regular edits of articles first. Whilst you, myself and others informed him otherwise, he doesn't seem to have got the message [2]. I've invited him to a discussion at Template talk:Rihanna singles about the specifics, but I was wondering if you could speak to him about his general expectation that all edits made to pages he contributes to should be run by him beforehand. I'm sure he's much more likely to listen to you than he is me. Thanks in advance :) SplashScreen ( talk) 00:01, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes, IBANS don't stop the affected parties from being able to comment on the same AfDs etc, although they wouldn't be allowed to directly talk to each other. It's a big step, and I dunno if this dispute quite at that level yet, not that I can ever see you guys getting along. It makes bunny sad. OohBunnies! (talk) 23:42, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
How am I not to take it personally when you seem to like nominating articles I am involved with? Do you not see how that could some across? Surely you aren't that naive. You have a problem with WP:BEFORE. Personal life and Bennifer were deleted, so? Have I requested them to be un-deleted because I was upset about it? No, I haven't. I've moved on and accepted it; as I've pointed out to you previously. "I've noticed that Status and Tomica are very young (and perhaps I would've been like that if I was editing Wikipedia at that age), but I just wish they'd realise that Wikipedia is not a war between JLo fans and Rihanna fans or Beyonce editors and Gaga editors or between anyone and anything." Really? Where's the fucking war? I don't even know what you are talking about. And young? You don't even know my age. Statυs ( talk) 00:02, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Shush. Just when I think it can't get any sillier. Normally I'd say, "can't you try voluntarily staying away from each other" before mentioning IBANS but I don't know if any of could do that. Could you? And the fact is, I could make a thread somewhere, laying out some context and proposing an interaction ban but there'd be no telling the outcome. People might just think it's easier to block. (Oh, and I'm not an admin...just a regular editor like all of you.) And Splash, you are erring on the wrong side of the civility line, so lets calm down now, please. OohBunnies! (talk) 00:43, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Dear OohBunnies, My submission have been rejected again as a result inadequate referencing. This is my 1st submission and I do not understand what the required standards are. My submission is about my high school, there is no research publication with the school as subject. The information is from the school website, school annuals and articles written by the historical association of the town as well as o book about the founder. I have reference the information to the website and to wikipedia. What do you want more. The wiki page of another school which i used as template have only the schools own website as reference and that is adequate. Please help — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pduplessis1 ( talk • contribs) 07:48, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Dear Bunnie,
I would like to know what i should have to change on Octopus Music API article to make it approved. Yes, it is important to many music performance researchers - ask that to ICCMR(UK) LOL! - and many other universities using it across the globe.
I'm waiting for you advice.
Carrots and carrots to you.

Mike — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maiccof ( talk • contribs) 00:46, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Dear Ooh, Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I do not know when a reviewer will find the article acceptable. I wrote the article with my personal knowledge, I checked ( and reference) it with the website of the school that is independent from me. The fact are then cross checked and referenced to articles by the Historical association of the town. Other items are linked to other wiki pages and websites. The article is then still found to be unacceptable. As far as I know there are no researched documents or books about this little school in a small town in Africa. This is also not any deep scientific or controversial article neither will I gain anything from the publication, this is a just attempt to record the known history/background of the school. What must I do to get the article published? Pduplessis1 ( talk) 10:14, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Ooh Bunnies, thanks for taking the time to respond. I have submitted a personal photo on my wiki and was rejected on account I did not have the copyright information. I selected "edit" and then put in some verbiage that said it was a personal photo and that all rights were held by two individuals. It still did not pass. Can you give me insight into what I need to write to get the photo/image approved?

Just for the brilliant and wise advice : "The world is not going to end because someone told you to fuck off, or reverted your edits a couple of times. Look at some pictures of baby animals for a while instead of making that ANI thread and things might turn out better in the long run." I liked it so much, I made an essay out of it.

Look at the sources, the news sources, the news interviews (posted by the news channel on their own Youtube page), and see if deleting them just because one doesn't like Sister Roma and what she represents is supported by common sense.

Hi there, in response to your message - I should have clarified that as well as correcting spelling mistakes, I was removing some of my own content that I decided wasn't appropriate to be on the page.

Dear OohBunnies!
There is another war break-out on the RacingThePlanet page. I've tried to act within the wiki guidelines - not deleting other people's content, going to the talk page to start discussions etc etc, but there is some blatant vanadlism going on - particularly from someone called Diligaf. There is a mass of subjective content being put on the page, and balancing content which I have put on the page has been outright deleted. The main content is about The Kimberley Ultramarathon inquiry and it's basically taken over the page. Because there are obviously some strong feelings out there I have suggested that it gets it's own wiki page. What do you think? I would also like to suggest a block on editing the page until other contributors come back and discuss properly on the Talk page. Please let me know what you think or what can be done to get people to discuss on the Talk page rather than this battle of deleting and reposting content.
Thanks for your help. Halojones88 ( talk) 05:39, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
