A barnstar for you!

The Admin's Barnstar
Thank you very much for your help and patience regarding my friend. Diannaa (Talk) 18:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Huh, I was certainly not expecting that. Appreciated! Amalthea 19:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Please participate

Please participate and leave your opinion in a thread I opened on MSGJ's talkpage. User_talk:MSGJ#Ambox_and_categories Debresser (talk) 20:21, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be resolved. Amalthea 10:21, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

And while we're at it, please tell me your opinion about a small issue on Template_talk:Cv-unsure#Who. Debresser (talk) 01:34, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have no opinion. Except that it should probably be discussed at Template talk:ambox. Amalthea 10:21, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
I came here to inform you that the last issue has unexpectedly been commented upon by many editors, and that your input is not necessary any more for consensus forming. May it be that your two comments should be swapped? Debresser (talk) 15:58, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, you're right, yes. Amalthea 16:18, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Do you have a solution for the last question on Template talk:Copypaste? Debresser (talk) 23:36, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be resolved. Amalthea 10:21, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

he Last Username I Could Think Of

Hello Amalthea, in your opinion, should this guy's RFA be speedied as G3 or treated as a "true" RFA? Salvio Let's talk about it! 19:21, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

G3 sounds right, was only meant for disruption I'd say. Amalthea 19:29, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks!

I agree, it was definitely disruptive. It's now been mentioned on his talk page, though, so I'll leave it be for the moment; if you wish to delete it, however, I'll have no objections. Salvio Let's talk about it! 19:35, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Hi, Amalthea. Could you consider protecting [[Donna Martin] and Erin Silver from being constantly recreated, as you did with Annie Wilson? Left4Deadseries FAN is ignoring multiple requests to not recreate these non-notable articles, and has made their latest edit just recently. Simply thought I'd ask. Thanks. -- James26 (talk) 00:26, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Erin Silver since it was part of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ethan Ward, and the current article didn't address any of the issues mentioned there. Not so sure about Donna Martin though: The old AfD was specifically on 90210 characters, and Donna Martin was part of Beverly Hills, 90210 as well. I agree that as it was, the article was not a viable encyclopedic article, and it was correct to redirect it. But it may be problematic to extend the 90210 AfD to cover Donna Martin when there is precedence of an acceptable Beverly Hills, 90210 article with Kelly Taylor (90210).
I'll keep it watchlisted, but think it needs an explicit consensus before the redirect can be protected.
Amalthea 11:56, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your efforts. -- James26 (talk) 12:40, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for not bringing Silver (90210) to your attention before. Just remembered it; don't mean to sound pesky. It's basically a variant of the Erin Silver page. -- James26 (talk) 05:36, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, that's what I'm here for. That redirect doesn't appear to be contested though? Pages are typically only protected if there was recent disruption (except for some high-risk ones). I've watchlisted it though. Amalthea 13:01, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Edit summary about "overzealous warnings"

Just curious, how is uw-unsourced1 an "overzealous warning" when it concerns introducing unsourced content into a page about a school band's "critically acclaimed tour" that "entertained the masses"? Not trying to be confrontational or argumentative, I just really don't know, and if its a legitimate evaluation, I'd just like to know why so that it can be avoided in the future. Thank you. - SudoGhost™ 09:50, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
sorry, I should have been clearer. Your warning was quite appropriate, but I think the escalation by other editors up to a block for adding an iTunes shop link to one song article went way overboard. The user made mistakes, but he's a good-faithed newbie, not a vandal. I thought that removing all warnings and leaving him an informal message instead would be the best way forward.
Again, nothing wrong with your warning.
Thanks & Cheers, Amalthea 09:59, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Ah, okay. Sorry, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything incorrectly. Thank you for your clearing that up with me. - SudoGhost™ 10:06, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And now for something completely different: I like your style. If you're considering an RfA down the line and want someone to pre-vet you, ping me. Amalthea 11:30, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Thank you very much, that's very kind of you. What does pre-vet mean? - SudoGhost™ 12:37, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I found WP:VETTING, but I'm not sure what pre-vetting is. - SudoGhost™ 13:12, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Someone spending time looking at your contributions before an RfA, trying to identify issues that would otherwise surface during, and hopefully writing a nomination at the end. Like, if I did that now, I would notice that you've only been active for four months, and that RfA folks usually like to see at least six months of activity which would earn you opposes, so I would recommend to wait at least that long. :)
Anyway, just think about it, and don't be shy if this is something that would interest you.
Amalthea 13:15, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Thank you, I'll certainly keep it in mind. - SudoGhost™ 21:28, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Miss Asia Pacific World 2011

Hi, Amalthea, I need your help. Please help me to stop Arielle Leira, she always threaten me by telling me she will block me from editing if I made a disruptive edit. Actually, I didn't made any disruptive edits, the edit that I have made was FACT, just because I don't have any sources, she threaten me like that, please stop her. Also, please tell her not to change my edit in Miss Asia Pacific World 2011, because I'm tired of repairing the edit back, sorry for bothering. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hosokawa (talk • contribs) 16:43, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Arielle Leira (talk · contribs) hasn't edited during the last three weeks. This edit? Arielle Leira is correct that the article is unsourced. Truth is not enough, information mus be verifiable, see WP:VERIFIABILITY. Add WP:Inline citations to WP:reliable sources for every fact. If you disagree with an edit, talk to her. We all want the article to be as good as possible. But it needs to follow Wikipedia policies. Amalthea 10:08, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Yes I know that making an articles must have sources, but the thinks that I want to tell you is, if Arielle Leira active again, please tell her not to change any of my edit in Miss Asia Pacific World 2011, because I don't like my edit was removed without reasons (except for the unsources edits), thanks. Oh, and one more thing, the page Miss Supranational 2009 wasn't my page, I never created that page before, so it wasn't my page.

If I look at Ariella Leira's last edits of Miss Asia Pacific World 2011, they all seem good to me. She gave a reason for every big change she made. Can you give me a link to a change you didn't like?
Everybody is allowed and encouraged to improve a page. Nobody owns any article here. If you cannot agree on changes, discuss them! Don't just undo each other. And, just like it says every time when you save an edit: "If you do not want your writing to be edited, used, and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here". Other editors changing your text is a very important part of Wikipedia. If Arielle Leira is editing in good faith, I cannot (and don't want to) make her stop.
Kind regards, Amalthea 11:24, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

I am puzzled

Hello Amalthea,
The last two revisions: User talk:Peter Horn#TCV and other places & User talk:Peter Horn#Proposed template deletion What was this all about? Peter Horn User talk 21:06, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know. Bot gone wild? Seems to have stopped, so I didn't look any farther. Amalthea 00:45, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Amalthea, could you help me something ? Please help me to give this image [[1]] a copyright or sources, because I don't know how to give it, hurry before 14 July, because it will be delete after 14 July 2011, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hosokawa (talk • contribs) 15:43, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Did you take the image, or find it somewhere on the internet? If the latter, do you have a link? Amalthea 15:45, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
I took the image in google image, here is the link => http://www.businessbhutan.bt/wp-content/uploads/2002/01/Miss_Bhutan.jpg, please help me to give it a copyright or sources, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hosokawa (talk • contribs) 00:58, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I'm afraid I can't help here. All images you find on the Internet are copyrighted (with few exceptions), and cannot be used in Wikipedia.
Think of it this way: imagine you would earn money by selling photographs. You wouldn't like it if someone just took your pictures without paying (not even asking). Copyright is important since it protects people's creations, and we must respect that. Amalthea 18:01, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Well if you can't help me with this, its okay. I know how to give it a source now.

Well, ok, but listing the source is not enough (even though the warning said so): We cannot use a non-free image in this article. There really is no way around this. If you want to read up on image licenses, there is WP:File copyright tags, but it's a bit complicated. Amalthea 09:06, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Oh Amalthea, I need your help ! Arielle Leira want to delete my page Miss Asia Pacific World 2011, just open this link User talk:JRheic, she want to remove my page because my page have some reliable sources, please help me to stop Arielle Leira ! The sources that I given to my page were reliable, but she said the sources that I given was unreliable, please help me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hosokawa (talk • contribs) 10:03, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Again, you shouldn't think about "stopping" people. Think about whether she is right. Wikipedia has many rules about its pages. One of them is that topics must be notable (WP:NOTABLE). A topic is notable if reliable sources (WP:RS) discuss it in-depth, like a newspaper article about it. If there are such sources, it will not be deleted. If there are no such sources, then Wikipedia should probably not have a page on it.
But don't panic! Like I said, we all want to make Wikipedia better. And if it comes to a deletion discussion, we still have one week to discuss and decide what is best for your articles. Amalthea 18:01, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Hmm...but I'm afraid that she will delete my page, and I'm very worried, what should I do ? I can't sleep last night because I always thinking about this, and I even doesn't have any mood to play computer last night because I was very mad about this, please help me how to stop worrying about this, thanks.

Block of User:Fatcud

Are you sure the user is a sock? The sock was renamed, and this is a new user (or at least that's what I, and the renaming 'crat, thought at the time of the usurpation). demize (t · c) 22:04, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing it out, but I'm afraid that yes, both the old blocked account and the new one belong to the same person. That person has a tendency to try and usurp all their account names that were blocked. Amalthea 17:43, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

User:Malingsial

Amalthea, please block User:Malingsial, his username "Malingsial" mean "Damn Thief". Actually, "Malingsial" is a nickname from Indonesian people to the Malaysian. Some of the Indonesian people called them "Malingsial", because Malaysia like to copy Indonesian cuisine, culture, include ethnic groups. Please don't block me because I just explained the truth, I don't have any mean to attack the Malaysian. Hosokawa talk 18:49, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I agree that this account was only used for vandalism, and I have taken care of it. Amalthea 14:52, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for block him. Oh, I found another user again, his username was very impolite, he is User talk:FuckMainstreamShit, please block him, thanks. Hosokawa (talk) 14:25, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
