Roman Catholic Archdiocese of MiamiDear Arielgold, I am trying to add content and properly reference it. I am having trouble. When I add it and press save, it shows up in the edit page but not in the actual article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by NancyHeise (talk • contribs)
Fixing the headersAriel Gold, I am very happy you are going to fix the headers. However, the article is so messed up right now it doesnt have hardly any information. could you please take a look at what the article looked like before DomivsVobiscm deleted most of it and replaced it with his long and detailed article on sexual abuse scandals? If I could edit it right now, I would revert to that article and then add any new and non inflammatory language subsequently added by DominvsVobiscm, if any. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NancyHeise (talk • contribs)
Charities headerArielGold, just to let you know, CAtholic Charities is a separate organization within the Archdiocese. The items listed underneath it are not part of the organization Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami. the items underneath that are another branch of charities that are completely separate from Catholic Charities. Catholic Charities of the ARchdiocese of Miami is the name of the organization, not a subject heading. The money raised and spent by that organization is separate and does not include schools, smaller archdiocesan charities, ministries and retreats. I hope you are not getting tired of helping me because I sure appreciate your help. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nancy Heise (talk • contribs)
Roman Catholic Archdiocese of MiamiThank you for your last message, it was extremely helpful. I have saved my content on a microsoft word page and I am making the changes to my references on that. Right now, the actual article has a green tag that says we can't edit it. Can you tell me what is happening? I have complained about Dominvs using this site as a propaganda outlet for his group Christifidelis. He removes valid facts and replaces them with only information about Catholic Church sex scandals in the Archdiocese of Miami. While that is a valid topic and deserves a place in the article, it is not the only issue or fact that defines the Archdiocese of Miami. My facts have previously only cited the actual external links to these web sites but they are also referenced in third party newspapers and I would like to have the chance to add those references and include my information. Thanks. Nancy Heise NancyHeise 07:52, 16 August 2007 (UTC) HeadersAriel, the headers are perfect now. Thank you for fixing everything. There is still a green tag on the article, should I wait a few hours before I begin adding third party references to my additions?NancyHeise 07:55, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
AdministratorAriel, I would like the name of an administrator. I thank you for your very helpful advice and editing. This is the first time I have edited a Wikipedia article and I did so because I knew when I saw it for the first time a few days ago that it was seriously in need of content and was being used as a platform for propaganda by DominvsVobiscm who has vandalized other sites. It would be nice if it could actually be an unbiased and informative helpful encyclopedia entry. NancyHeise 08:11, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
LinksAriel, Thanks for sending me the links.. I studied one of the articles called "featured articles" to see what an acceptable article is supposed to look like. It has all been very helpful. I will go to work on this site tomorrow - wait, it is tomorrow already! NancyHeise 08:44, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Advice needed on content of sensitive subjectAriel, I am happy keeping the links on my talk page. Maybe the other editors of the article will use them too. I would like outside advice on how to address the sex scandals in the church in this article. There were over 400 priests in the Archdiocese until the priest sex abuse scandals happened several years ago. About 5-8 of these priests were accused of sex abuse and were removed from their posts. One accused priest died of a heart attack. The Archdiocese has been sued for all of these accusations and settled with almost all of them for about $5 million total. It also developed new policies for dealing with volunteers, employees and priests which required all to undergo fingerprinting and background checks every five years. If we were to include details of each case like Dominvsvobism is doing with the Neil Doherty scandal, the encyclopedia entry would be very lengthy on this subject. Not all the accused priests have been convicted and at least two I know are fighting the accusations saying they are innocent. (The others have acknowledged their guilt and apologized) One of them has had the State Attorney's office investigate and they officially found the accusation to not be credible. All criminal charges were dropped against him but he is still being sued by a civil lawyer. I am wondering if it is against Wikipedia policy to name accused living people before they have been convicted of a crime. I am wondering if it would be more proper to have an entry that states the facts without listing names of accused priests and have one paragraph explaining the entire subject without going into the details of each case. The priests names are on the referenced articles, I think that should be enough. I would like to know what you think on this serious subject.65.8.214.18 09:19, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
You made my day !Got to my computer, logged in and There it was ! once again Fairy Ariel has been using the wand! THANX and thanx again
New project WP:TRUEORIGDear Ariel, there is a project in which we could like to have people like you, it is a task which in spite of that the spirit of it is for helping, someone could feel injustified, so we need who knows what kindness is about, please give a look and see if the topic interests you WP:TRUEORIG , if it doesn't, no harm done, if it does, you will be very welcome and if you can help to make a nice workable Talk page, you will be double welcome
Thanks for the fixing, my fingers run amok and many times a write how I sound Third party review of Nancy Heise contributionAriel, thank you, I will request a third party to review and include my information. If you will notice, the material about Christifidelis and my information both have the same references. If you remove my material, you should remove the material about Christifidelis since they are both different sides of the same story published on the same referenced source.NancyHeise 12:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Ariel, you are an extremely helpful person, I saw how you fixed my reference and I am now using the proper format thanks to your example. I am currently going through the page and adding third party references to what is already there. Thanks, NancyHeise 12:33, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Touched by a WikiFairyI wonder if there is any userbox that says "This user has been visited by a WikiFairy. Thank You!" and other like "This article (or this page) has been touched by a WikiFairy. Thank You!" I would love to have those to put in my userpage and the projects page and I know many people would like to add them too in thanks to the WikiFaerie who helped them. If doesn't exist, can I propose it somewhere? Daoken 12:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Loved the smile. About the two boxes for thanking Wikifaeries, can you add (small) "show your appreciation to your helping Wikifaerie with this banner" ? or something like that? Nothing urgent, when you have the time and disposition will be just great, in the meaning time keep making your good actions everywhere SchoolsAriel, Do I need third party references for the information about the Archdiocesan schools. There are something like 38 different schools. Is it enough that this fact is taken from the Archdiocese website? I saw in the guidelines that if something is a fact, it does not need a third party reference. Please let me know what you think. NancyHeise 12:42, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
helpAriel, DominvsVobiscm has deleted all my entries twice this morning.NancyHeise 18:33, 16 August 2007 (UTC) Need your opinion pleaseCould you give a look in my sandbox and see what you think of those banners before I present them to the Kindness project ? I just worked on your model with my poor skills, but are banners I intend to propagate. Thanks Daoken 16:06, 16 August 2007 (UTC) Vandalism continuesAriel, I have spent hours adding third party references and external links to this page. DominvsVobiscm is repeatedly eliminating all my work and reverting to an earlier very incomplete and very biased version.NancyHeise 18:33, 16 August 2007 (UTC) Hello!I got your message! Have not chatted in a while whats up? I see you are doing great here, making wiki friends! Hope all is well on wiki and IRL. Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 17:35, 16 August 2007 (UTC) Roman Catholic Archdiocese of MiamiDear Ariel, I just saw you response to my previous email. I am removing the three items from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami article that deal with sexual abuse allegations and homosexuality and replacing them with a reference to the Wikipedia article on that subject. Thanks for your unbiased advice.NancyHeise 18:38, 16 August 2007 (UTC) I have done everything that can be done to the site Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami. I think I am finished editing. Could you please take a look and see if there is anything else to be done? If the tags could be removed and the article rated and protected from vandalism I would be most grateful. NancyHeise 19:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC) Edit on my user page (sebleblanc)I'm sorry I got you confused, but the anonymous contributor that edited my sandbox was really no other than myself. I did not notice I was not logged in, although I could have used a more appropriate summary than the random crap I wrote. Yes, I did have butterflies in my house. I even had one on my monitor! Have a nice day! :) --Sébastien Leblanc ( Talk | E-mail ) 20:26, 16 August 2007 (UTC) ![]()
WikiFairy boxHi Ariel. Thank you for the WikiFairy box. Do you mind if instead of "this user's page" says simply "this page" in case is a talk page or so ? and can I add in italics "Thank you!" ? If you are ok with that I can make the changes, if you think is not OK then we leave it like that. I just wanted to show thanks and not only say that a WikiFairy was there, perhaps both cases can happen ? I don't know, let me know. About the banners in my sandbox, are not for templates like officially or so, just kind of boxes or messages for kindness use, I noticed that there are not truce messages like that available, only an old proposal of sending a dove, I just wanted to contribute to resolve situations, in my real life I am often called to mediate in nasty crisis. I will present those as proposal to the WikiProject Kindness if you think is ok. About the email, that is fine, sorry to have send it and apologies if you took it perhaps felt as an invasion of privacy, the mpeg was just a short one with the most hilarious Levis advertisement I have seen, so just wanted to send you a laugh after you have send me so many reaasons to smile, sorry if was out of etiquette. About you wonderful boxes at ArielGold/Boxes2 , can be used by others ? (is there a template or so). Are very nice tools for a soft approach and informative enough for getting the attention needed, well done! One last question, at the Project you were invited, we have a bit of a problem with the templates because they don't cause that the categories appear automatically in the pages where placed (neither the "histref" nor the "participant" one. Also the pics in the participant in some browsers as Neoplanet appear with white background looking messy. If and when you have the time, could you give a look at those, I cannot figure it out. The most important is the matter of making the categories appear automatically. As always, loooots of thanks.

You got it wrong, I just admired your work and was wondering if in a given situation was better than the standard issue, I don't go around like a lone ranger, what gave you that thought? I am very often called to be a crisis mediator in my job never an avenger crusader. Shame you left that message because it may look as if I have been going around on a private raid :( Daoken 20:18, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
No need to apologize, I know you don't do things for bad, I didn't get bad about what you said, just looked bad in my talk page to the occasional reader who didn't know why you urged me to take it slowly, that's all. Do not worry about, no harm done, you are still the best in my wikiheart
Thanks for the editing, we can add Fairness to all the other great things about you Daoken 21:00, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Before you start dropping unverified messages on pages other people are in the process of writing, I suggest you actually check the history to determine whether or no the author has been working on the article for longer than 10 minutes. Please try to show a greater degree of ettiquette to those who are trying to make Wikipedia a richer resource, in future.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Thelad101 (talk • contribs)
Reliable sources???If an article is about a famous author and manuscript collector who donated a significant collection to McGill University and the article contains an external link to the website of McGill University confirming the same, how can you possibly state that the page cites no reliable sources? There is one article that I had deleted. If you look at the history of the thing, you will see that I had it deleted after rewriting it, but thank you for your grace and presumption of good faith.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Thelad101 (talk • contribs)
ThanksThanks, yeah, sorry -- I was going to leave you a note about your comments but I'm really busy at the moment -- I was just worried about tiding over the mediation so it won't spin out of control while I'm gone for a few days. I didn't mean to imply by moving them that your comments weren't useful. I'll leave a more responsive message in the next couple of days. Andre (talk) 23:30, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
MediationAriel, I sent this same note to Andrew Fader. He is moving from home to college for the next few days so I am asking you also to do this if he can not. I object to the page Roman Catholic Archdiocese being locked as it is with DominvsVobiscm's version. There are changes he made that are inflammatory and incorrect. As the page stands right now, it is a propaganda tool of the catholic and homosexual hate group of Christifidelis. I request that the version be reverted back to my non inflammatory version until the dispute is resolved. I thank you for your efforts to resolve our little spat. NancyHeise 01:13, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
FlnclanThanks for asking me about this user's actions. Please look at User talk:Flnclan for some background about the ongoing problems this user has been causing. I believe that this user has edited under Zim2007 (talk · contribs), Thehalo1noob (talk · contribs), Angrygamer (talk · contribs), and Flnclan (talk · contribs). After I first asked this user this question, the Zim2007 account started vandalizing. Another admin blocked Zim2007. Ever since that time, this individual creates account after account. It seems like every time a question about this is posted on the newest account's talk page, that account goes into hibernation and the individual creates another brand new account. This individual has been repeatedly asked about this situation, but he never verifies or denies this suspected sockpuppetry. Instead, he totally denies mine and other's questions. The newest account name, Flnclan, has now been making all sorts of inappropriate changes to the user pages and talk pages of the earlier accounts. This includes removing the sockpuppet templates like you mentioned in your comment to me. I would encourage you to look into this. My latest message on Flnclan's talk page warns him that if he continues to make edits to the user pages and talk pages of the older accounts (like removing the suspected sockpuppet templates) he will be blocked from editing. As a brand new admin, I would certainly welcome some help/advice in this matter. --MatthewUND(talk) 02:00, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

A regular google search does not pick up most news articles, and a normal google news search only picks up news stories from the past month. Try the google news archive search, it will pick up articles back into the 1800's. Many require payment, but there is usually at least an abstract, and enough information to build a proper citation in most cases. - Dean Wormer 03:24, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Omani cuisineThank you for the heads-up, but I did not copy it from any website, I simply-cut-and-pasted it from the Oman article, after cleaning up some vandalism from it. Whoever put that section in the Oman article was the one who copy-viod it. That would explain why it looked like it existed previously, based on text in the core article. Do what you need to with it.

Rescue Mission -- wrong number?Hi ArielGold, http://de.wiki.x.io/wiki/STS-118#Rettungsmission_.28STS-320.29 lists STS-320 as the rescue mission for STS-118, as it would be STS-120 with the launch date moved forward. In "en" however, it is listed as STS-322. Which one is correct? 91.89.84.198 13:07, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi, seems someone else also picked up on the apparent discrepancy, but fixed the wrong end: 15:14, 21 August 2007 84.173.131.112 (Talk) (60,412 bytes) (STS-320, not STS-322 (cf. STS-3xx article, cf. German version)) Maybe you should change it back to 322 and add an explanation, to avoid further back-and-forth editing. 91.89.84.198 15:35, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Re: AFC request for Wisconsin Alumni AssociationI'm wondering why you declined this as unverifiable. I was actually about to approve it, lol. I found the following while doing a quick search: Official site, this article in the Green Bay Gazette 3 hours ago, and archived articles from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Wisconsin State Journal, Capital Times, and many others, which certainly seem to verify the association's existance. I'm just curious as to your thinking when you stated it was unverifiable. While I would question the notability, at first glance it would indeed be verifiable. Don't take this as me challenging you, because please know, I'm not, I'm just curious what I missed. Thanks, Ariel♥Gold 13:30, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Re: whitespace in headers - my edits to STS-118Thanks for the message. The reason I did this [removed header whitespace] was because I was making a few other minor edits, and for some reason I thought the manual of style preferred to have no spaces between the == - I once saw another editor who had made a minor edit solely to remove the extra space from headers and cited the Manual of Style for the reason for doing so in the edit summary. Since, I have always thought it was best practice to avoid extra space in headers, (even though I know it makes no difference). I'm gonna stop removing whitespace from now on. What a great mission STS-118 has been! (I've been part of WikiProject Space Exploration for a while now, making most edits on the topic to Apollo program. I hope to contribute to Shuttle-related topics, and I'm looking forward to watching the landing on NASA TV at 12:32 EDT/17:32 BST). Have a great day, and I'm sure we'll run into each other again on other Space exploration contributions. --J. Atkins (talk | contribs) 14:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
LandingUmm actually you wrote :25 (the start time) so I changed it to :28 end time, it's not that important anyway but i'm watching on the edge of my seat like you i guess so i thought i' d fix it :). Let's hope landing goes A-OK for the guys :). Cheers! - Badseed 16:09, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

- Heh, it has been mentioned to me before, and while I've been around for 2+ years, I didn't do any edits for nearly 2 years, because I wanted to "lurk" and learn about policies and guidelines before jumping into it (and other RL stuff, too). So if one were to look at my count, I'd really only have 2 months of "experience", so eh, no big deal. I'm fortunate to have made some very good friends who are administrators, and normally if I really need something, can find someone to ask. I do, however, appreciate your vote of confidence!

I already have! ~*Looks up*~ Ariel♥Gold 07:17, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

G'day Ariel
I just wanted to ask you if you have time to help WP:TORIG with the historical sources of an article about Space race ? You find it in the list of open tasks. If you have the time, could be great, we have no one on that area. Also we have a new category for editors who have no time to be full members but can help now and then, see Supporters. Thanks and have a charlie good day Daoken 17:34, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
The project changed to WP:TIMETRACE. Daoken 09:05, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello
Saw you tinkering with space articles while I was quietly correcting a misplaced comma. You know you really should RfA if you haven't already. Make sure to let me know if you do! Hope you are well SGGH speak! 18:04, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- Well when you feel ready let one of us know, and he or she will let the others know. Otherwise you get accused of canvassing, which I find daft. If you don't let people who know you know that you have an RfA then people who know how you work won't be lending their opinions! You check all the RfAs? Did you see mine?! :P And I'm very well thankyou, Terminator 2 is on, I havdn't seen either until a couple of days ago. SGGH speak! 21:52, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Omg my head is spinning reading that "you know they know you knew that I know that she knew that you know, you know?" LOL~ . But trust me, I've seen enough people get accused of canvassing that I would definitely not want to do that. In fact I'd hesitate to even let anyone know I was up for it, much less ask a whole ton of people. Of course, I don't know a whole ton of people, so that's not a real big problem! lol. I actually think I did read your RfA a while back, before we'd really talked much. I should go read it again! lol. Terminator 2 is awesome, that's my favorite of the trilogy. What channel? I'll turn it on, lol. Ariel♥Gold 22:11, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- It is sky something or other, it has finished now any. 130? 131? Yeah I'm around for a bit what do you need input on? SGGH speak! 23:08, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- I think you handled it fine. You have another user or two voicing concerns or thoughts on your actions, and you responded appropriately, and other users agreed with you on both counts. I especially agree with your points in the last paragraph of the NASA POV section, the comment about up-to-date information-vs-clarity and relevance. You responded well and commented on the content rather than the user, which is not what many people do when you are negative about their work. You handled everything fine, though to be honest as wikipedia-social-issues go this isn't going to be among the most difficult you'll come across :P
- I thought you were going to nick my msn and give me a long complicated thing for the next half hour! What you gave me was relatively simple: you did fine, nothing that strikes me as anything other than acceptable discussion. SGGH speak! 23:28, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- I applaud your efforts, but I also think you may possibly be heading towards working too hard to avoid conflict. Be wary of striving for comprimise at the expense of your own beliefs and ideas about the way things may work. No body is conflict free, and if you enjoy working on wikipedia enough and work hard enough you are going to come into conflict. Passionate debate sparks new ideas, and you can't have passionate debate if you comprimise instantly. My advice would be to strike a balance between your own ideas and avoiding conflict, let that be your compromise :) SGGH speak! 23:49, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- If you see the reasoning behind it then its fine to state so, even if you disagree. Even if you disagree and think they are talking a croc of sh*t you can still see "I understand the reasoning" just because it takes the sting out of your future comments. I do honestly worry that you may be over analysing your responses a bit, everything seems fine from here. I'm sure everyone appreciates your efforts to be 100% neutral. PS: I did email my msn address for you. SGGH speak! 00:01, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Well that is what smilies are for! Hence why msn is such a useful way to communicate, lol. That's why I was so intrigued originally when I saw you leaving smilies. SGGH speak! 00:17, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Ill know who it is, no one else is planning to add me this evening SGGH speak! 00:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

User label
Sorry, I don't understand. What is wrong? It looks fine to me. Jakew 19:06, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- Hee hee, that's not the right link, check the diff I gave you, and I clarified my question on your talk page, you have to forgive me for not understanding all this programming stuff, so feel free to talk "down" to me, lol. Ariel♥Gold 19:11, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- Ah! That is part of the theming plan. It means that the user can control the appearance of a label.
- {{user label top}}{{user label WPMed}}{{user label bottom}} produces:
- and {{user label top |theme=lilacbox}}{{user label WPMedicine |theme=pink}}{{user label bottom}} produces:
- Jakew 19:16, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- Looks awesome, Jake, seriously! Ariel♥Gold 19:21, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

What can I say...
...except thank you. You've made an amazing difference: my user page looks really really good! I hate to repeat myself, but you have my sincere thanks. Jakew 16:42, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
