First post![edit]Woo, I beat the rush! >_> Ah, yes. I've answered your questions at my editor review, so I'm ready for the abuse that will no doubt be forthcoming. Thanks! :) Daveydweeb (chat/review!) 10:38, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Damnit! Now that we actually have that feature, does this mean I lose those points on the Wikipediholic test? Daveydweeb (chat/review!) 12:32, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
^ beat me to it :([edit]Regarding Portal:Chemistry... I meant to write this earlier, but totally forgot! Ack! Anywho, have you considered using the hiding navframes to keep the portal more concise? I was thinking for things at the bottom, like the list of chemical elements and the categories. It will help shorten the page a touch ... see my page (bottom, the Awards section) for an example. And re:discussion about green on grey above, I like it. Maybe it's just a girl thing ;-) — Editor at Large(speak) 12:22, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Non-something nominations[edit]Hi, rd. I admit my portal "nominations" invitations are poorly worded. What I impled but didn't say was that a "featured something" doesn't need to be nominated, just add it. The nominations sections were meant to offer opportunities for "non-obvious" items to be added. I'll have to go back and clarify what I wrote at the other portals. Thanks for confirming my ambiguity! :-) Rfrisbietalk 17:25, 20 November 2006 (UTC) You've got some. I think you'll like this. Moreschi 21:43, 20 November 2006 (UTC) a barn star[edit]Hey Riana, I was going through the vandalized page of urs....just forget it sorry. It looks like people are sometimes not so happy with you having a barnstar or some thing like that. Comming to the topic I wanted to know how I could get or earn a barnstar. Would really appreciate your help in this.Good luck an India. May be..so.I am really sorry that I could not log in. This is rencin24 OK OK OK I accepect it but I just did not realise or in other words did not see it. I though Admin means a wikipedia user. OK. So now I get what you say thanks a lot for that. Will suerly do that. Keep in touch. Hope you will never mind like these kinds of small questions that I ask you.Thanks.rencin24 NPWatcher[edit]You've been approved to use NPWatcher. When you log into the program, wait a few seconds while it queries wikipedia before screaming at your PC for crashing (unless you see an error, of course). Please give me any feature requests, bugs, etc. The watchlist feature does not work. Before you run the program, please check the changelog on the application page to see if I've made a new release. Finally, enjoy! Martinp23
Improvements to the Education portal[edit]Hi, here's another one! I'm working on the Education Portal to get it up to featured status. As always, I look forward to your tips at its talk page. :-) Rfrisbietalk 06:45, 22 November 2006 (UTC) Vandalism for Dummies[edit]Hey , thank you for reverting the vandalism to my page. That guy could benefit from Vandalism: For Dummies, a book Husond and I are writing. Once again, thank you. Dfrg.msc 1 . 2 . 3 08:45, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Chemistry portal[edit]Check the display at 1024X768. The periodic table is "crashing" into the other column. Rfrisbietalk 15:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Why don't you try something like this at the bottom 100% width section of the portal. I set it to work at 800X600 displays as well. :-) Rfrisbietalk 03:02, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
An Award for you :p[edit]
re:Mayford Football Club[edit]Having searched around I found the following which might help: Wikipedia:Notability (organizations) (which is still in the making) and Ways to verify notability. Pretty much what is needed is external sources, a news report or article from a local magazine. The internet doesn't have much (16 Google hits [1]) but that's not the only source. I suppose it doesn't help if you don't live in the area but paper, books, magazines can be used as sources aswell. I found the team website (I think it is) [2] which can't be used for notability because it's self published but for a football club it's quite a comprehensive site so they might get away with it. Hope that helps. James086 Talk | Contribs 23:40, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks[edit]Happy Thanksgiving![edit]![]() Hi there Riana dzasta. Have a happy Thanksgiving and a great day. :) ↔ ANAS - Talk 12:23, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Friend or vandal?[edit]This edit of yours came up as vandalism [3]. I have lost all respect I held for you. haha, :P James086 Talk | Contribs 12:55, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, RC Patrollers are nothing but bad news. Making the wiki-world a miserable place, undoing "quality" edits, blocking "good" editors and just generally messing things up. James086 Talk | Contribs 13:44, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Warning! This user is a crazed vandal and must be stopped!
This box really shows up with your background I use the lupin tool and I get user page vandalism and policy aswell so I let it pick things up outside mainspace. James086 Talk | Contribs 14:14, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Happy Thanksgiving[edit]Even though you are Australian I am going to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving...Nice to see that your exams are over, I hope your stress has been released! Well have a nice day! Please don't spam me with turkeys :p I have a whole collection and I'm a vegetarian. Cheers!__Seadog ♪ 16:13, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Editor review[edit]Riana, can you please give me a review at Wikipedia:Editor review/SunStar Net. Thanks, --SunStar Net 20:35, 23 November 2006 (UTC) Periodic table[edit]That's a pretty nice periodic table you made there. You've also got a pretty nice talk page!

Edit summary[edit]Hi there; I am asking you this question here, and not on my RfA page, because I really do not want to appear combative or argumentative, which I am not being, but I do need to know. Is it usual, or expected, to affix an edit summary to a user:talk edit? Because I have just not been doing that - as a person to person communication (I know it's public) it just did not seem necessary. The RfA is going to fail anyway, but I really need to know for next time. I have come to you because your position is clear, and I cannot therefore be thought to be canvassing. Thank you.--Anthony.bradbury 14:38, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Userpage[edit]Thanks, but you don't have to thank me for stating what's true :D Thanks for the smile :P I'll be back to editing in no time (but not now, I have a large project on yellow fever)! Fredil 14:21, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
thanks[edit]Hi Riana, and thanks. It's especially annoying because there are some nice cashmere sweaters at Macy's (I suppose you don't have this store in Australia) that I've been eyeing, and now they're on sale, and I could use some more shoes too, and anyway I'm rambling. Thanks again!--Kyoko 18:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC) Aryl hydrocarbon receptor[edit]Back in September you marked the Aryl hydrocarbon receptor article as too technical. Can you elaborate further about your reasoning? Are you familiar with transcription factors? I guess I wanted to know what ideas/concepts/sections of the article were too technical. What brought you to the article? I am quite familiar with this transcription factor and am hoping to improve the article. Thanks. Biomedeng 21:48, 25 November 2006 (UTC) RfA thanks[edit]
Australian Collaboration of the fortnight[edit]Hi. You voted for Australian Broadcasting Corporation as Australian Collaboration. It has been selected, so please help to improve it in any way you can. Scott Davis Talk 14:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC) Science portal[edit]Okay, here's a big one! Please offer any feedback you have at its talk page on how to improve this portal to featured status. Thanks. Rfrisbietalk 14:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC) By the way, would you be willing to help add images to the currently all-text sections, like at the Chemistry Portal? :-) Rfrisbietalk 16:09, 26 November 2006 (UTC) I added some wiki-icons, but if you can find some nice "science" images that would be cool too. :-) Rfrisbietalk 21:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC) Davey dweeb RfA:[edit]What's a co-nomination? Of course it's not alright anyway... ;) Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to be wikifriends? My list is kinda low & yours is so long.

For Tawker and the rest of the Wikipedia Weekly crew -- Tawkerbot 23:48, 27 November 2006 (UTC) You are recieving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject WikipediaWeekly/delivery - if you do not wish to recieve such notifications please remove yourself from the list. Your RfA:[edit]I have no doubt that you'll make it & do your job well. You deserve it. Please accept, & don't worry about me nominating 2 people so quickly. i've done it before & both got elected easily. :) Just be yourself & you should have no problems... :) Spawn Man 01:23, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Cross-post from the RfA - At this point in time, I decline. I don't believe I'm quite ready yet - I'd really prefer to have a few more months' experience. Perhaps I'm just underconfident, seeing as I've been offered nominations 3-4 months ago and refused for the same reasons, but the problems then still more or less stand. Profuse thanks to my nominators - your support means so much! I hope to see you here again in March/April of next year! :) riana_dzasta 03:02, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello Riana[edit]Hello, thanks for your concern...but I do not know why everybody thinks I am sick or ill. I have just been busy, very, very busy. But I will be busy on Wikipedia this weekend ;). I will review the portal when I get the chance, cheers! Oh and I had to drop the cool sig since an admin asked me to.__Seadog ♪ 14:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC) RfA[edit]No problem. I'll support you in anything you attempt :D You're a great person, don't give up on adminship! Fredil 21:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Dance portal[edit]Hi, if you haven't already, you might want to contact the portal creator, Roland2, and a currently busy contributor, Fang Aili. Off we go! :-) Rfrisbietalk 23:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC) Oh, I'm sorry. I somehow missed that there are 2 of you interested in updating the portal. Well, I'm all for it! I love the changes so far. Thanks! --Fang Aili talk 15:39, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I'm about out of layout ideas. Now you can do some of that picture adding you were bragging about! ;-) Rfrisbietalk 20:51, 1 December 2006 (UTC) Thanks x 73[edit]I wasn't going to send thank-you cards, but the emotional impact of hitting WP:100 (and doing so unanimously!) changed my mind. So I appreciate your confidence in me at RFA (even if it seemed redundant to you), and hope you'll let me know if I can do anything for you in the future.

But you're not enabled! If you e-mail me, I will send you the link.

For exam-related reasons, too... just thought I'd point it out as I figured you'd forgotten. And you know, just because Seadog starts with the "C" sound doesn't mean he goes second alphabetically :-P — Editor at Large(speak) 03:16, 30 November 2006 (UTC) Nooo!! You did the unsign![edit]I hit an edit conflict on that AfD where you added an unsigned template. Now my n00bness is complete. :( — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elaragirl (talk • contribs) Witch?[edit]I wish. I seem to have acquired a magic touch at XFD/RFA. Everyone agrees with me these days - which after ArbCom is definitely comforting. Once upon a time...urggh!!! See you round. Cheers, Moreschi 10:44, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
BLOCK THIS IP FROM EDITING (not reading)[edit]This is the IP of a school and despite the countless 'last warnings' wikipedia doesen't seem to get it, you will get nothing but vandalism from this IP, anyone seriously trying to contribute to an article would do It from their home computer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.93.154.151 (talk • contribs). Banned users[edit]My appologies; I thought anybody was allowed to do this, and I also believe I had good reason. However I don't make the rules here, and now that I understand them more clearly, will abide by them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.216.188.161 (talk • contribs) Banning / last change[edit]Well I can appreciate that, and thanks for setting me straight. In the case of vandalism, however, it's not so much the damaging of an article I thought merited an outright ban - it's the fact that three people were listed by name ( first and last ) and described in very inflamatory ways. That would be humiliating for the people named, maybe libel, and brings criticism to Wikipedia. I reverted the edit, but how should extreme cases like that be handled? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.216.188.161 (talk • contribs) Admin coaching...[edit]Okay, locked and loaded! The ball's rolling :) Glen 23:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC) INCOTW[edit]You voted for Sarod, this week's Indian Collaboration of the Week.
