December sees the end of a period with a very full schedule;
I will still try to check in but will probably be making lesser changes than usual until then.

Nataly8

Just to let you know, Nataly8 has been blocked on the Greek Wikipedia. Just a note..Razor flame 07:13, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to google translate, it is for "Harassing / aggressive behavior". Hazard-SJ^Talk 04:50, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can read a very small amount of Greek, but either way that wasn't a particularly helpful comment. Even if I hadn't checked it out I could have easily put it into babelfish myself. sonia ♫ 05:07, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much!

Sonia, I really appreciate the welcome. I'm still dealing with that lunatic on some other sites, but I have more than enough information to shut him down for good. In the meantime, it'll be a pleasure working with you on this site. Again, sincerest thanks and God bless. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 04:49, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You did very good jog with anonymous users! Nataly8 (talk) 10:55, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think you have to block the last anonymous user :( Nataly8 (talk) 04:45, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done, please report to VIP next time. sonia ♫ 05:07, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Flood flag

As I requested on AN, I'd like to get the flood flag please (unless its possible to flood my bot account). Hazard-SJ^Talk 04:56, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What are you going to be doing, and which account do you actually want flagged? sonia ♫ 04:59, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you flag my bot and give it access to AWB? I have some cats to add. Hazard-SJ^Talk 05:00, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There has been objections to that in the past from more than one administrator- if you want to operate a bot account or gain access to AWB under either account, you will need to put a formal request up on AN. sonia ♫ 05:02, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I had recently added to WT:BOTS and got no reply. Hazard-SJ^Talk 05:04, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't change the fact that I can't override consensus, sorry. Put it up on AN as it's more than a bot issue, it's about you/flood/AWB in general. sonia ♫ 05:07, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I'll ad it there as well. Hazard-SJ^Talk 05:09, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
Done In that case, could you add it to this account please? Hazard-SJ^Talk 05:20, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If he, really, need to put categories in many pages, why you refuse? Nataly8 (talk) 05:28, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think she refused; she didn't reply. Maybe she is offline. Hazard-SJ^Talk 05:30, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(change conflict) × 2 Please be patient! I see Fr33k's given it to you now, but in the future don't ask around for requests like this. I was away from the keyboard for not more than five minutes. sonia ♫ 05:34, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gift

Somebody has baked you some cake! Enjoy the taste!

My new gift! Nataly8 (talk) 05:37, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. sonia ♫ 07:29, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for removal of rights

Hello. I have completed for now. Could you please remove my flood flag? Also, I'm sure The Three Headed Knight has completed a long time now. Please remove his as well. Hazard-SJ^Talk 08:22, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

oops- didn't see his note. Thanks and removed. sonia ♫ 08:24, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; you're welcome. That was a lot of work! Hazard-SJ^Talk 08:25, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aye, that it was. The only thing I would say for next time is, be careful not to use redirected categories or a bot will have to come and fix them, like here. Other than that, a good job done. sonia ♫ 08:29, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Should I fix them for that category? I could do it now. If so, please grant me the flag (I'll know if I got it via NC). Hazard-SJ^Talk 08:32, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The bot's fixed them all, so just remember that for next time. sonia ♫ 08:32, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed (Category:Food is empty). I'll check for the soft redirects next time. Hazard-SJ^Talk 08:34, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Busy/Help?

Are you busy? Could you lend a hand? --Rotzil (talk) 11:14, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Um, all right. What would you like help with? sonia ♫ 11:15, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My two entries. --Rotzil (talk) 11:16, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. Well... I am not sure if they should be articles on their own. Maybe you could help add information to Pokemon or one of the related articles instead? One of the rules we have for articles is notability, this means that things have to be important to have their own article. I don't think that every single Pokemon is important enough, unfortunately. sonia ♫ 11:22, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Purplebackpack Challenge Cup

Three weeks into the Purplebackpack Challenge Cup, and several editors are off to a good start. Barras has a commanding lead in the Plum Division with 135.5 points, Yottie leads the Royal Division with 68.5 points, and PiRSquared17 and Kansan are also off to good starts. However, several editors have yet to claim any points at all! In addition, none of you have claimed a GA, VGA or the Edison bonus, bonuses that could break this competition wide. Hope that changes in the next two weeks! Purple backpack89 15:10, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to get at least two articles in, that's utterly pathetic of me. :( sonia ♫ 07:44, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, good luck. I aslo take part :) Nataly8 (talk) 08:51, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rename at eswikibooks

Done. Left you some notes there. Regards, --Dferg (talk) 10:31, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. sonia ♫ 07:44, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:This flag once was red

Hi Sonia - about time I dropped by and said "hi" here!

Thanks for blocking this impersonator - I confirm it is not mine, nothing to do with me at all.

This one is mine - I've explained how this came about over at en.wiki, but basically that was my username, I changed it at en.wiki (to "TFOWR") and then did SUL on the new username. I'd forgotten all about the old username here, but it's no longer used, I have now redirected the userpage and talkpage to my new userpage and talkpage, and the old username can - if you want - be blocked.

Thanks for spotting this - I guess my usernames old and new lend themselves to impersonation. TFOWR (talk) 07:39, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No probs :) sonia ♫ 07:44, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just making sure...

I assume you're okay today? Kansan (talk) 20:56, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Have I done something to suggest otherwise? sonia ♫ 20:58, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, not at all. I'll message you somewhere else; sorry for the confusion. Kansan (talk) 21:43, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cup of Purple

Hey, because I am taking part, I wrote something in my "cup" page (see my user page). I wrote it right? Nataly8 (talk) 07:08, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you're asking... sonia ♫ 11:00, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage

Hi Sonia! I've created my userpage here and on a couple of other projects based on yours. I changed the image and the placing of stuff, and put in userboxes for the languages I speak instead of the verse, but the code is still very similar. I put credit to you at the bottom of the userpage. I hope you don't mind, and if you do, please tell me and I'll be happy to remove everything I copied off you. Happy editing! - EdoDodo ^talk 10:48, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem- I'm somewhat flattered, actually. On an unrelated note- your sig linking directly to enwiki may confuse some newer editors. Would it be possible to do something which allows us to contact you here? (Like Edo Dodo ^enwp, for example?) sonia ♫ 11:00, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, I'd done that when I wasn't very active here, so wasn't watching my talk here. Since I'm fairly active now, and will be watching my talk, I'll link it directly to the one here. Thanks for pointing it out! - EdoDodo ^talk 11:16, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Purplebackpack Challenge Cup

Well, the first round is now closed, and the knockout round has begun. A congratulations to Nataly8, who made enough edits on the last day to squeak into the semifinals, joining Barras, Yottie and Kansan. For people playing in the Uniondale semifinal, enter under User:Purplebackpack89/Purplebackpack Challenge Cup/Uniondale, and for the Kansas City semifinal.

Fun

Hehe, you welcomed me to the simple Wikipedia, when you had already been involved in the discussion at w:WP:ANI#User:Protector of Wiki.

Happy editing! Heymid (talk) 13:00, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Funny vandalism

Please look at television. --Chemicalinterest (talk) 13:12, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi :)

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		Thanks for helping me out with the Image Policy, I truly am hopeless keep up the good work! :) —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 03:33, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I really wouldn't have known about the policy on images weren't it for you, thanks so much! Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 03:33, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, you're not hopeless, we're just... well, so similar to enwiki in some ways that people popping over let down their guard a little, I guess. I know I uploaded an image here once- it was not only not allowed, but was also a copyvio! o_O I've come a good way since, obviously, and you're doing well yourself. Thank you for the barnstar- I've had (if you saw my reply to 220.101 at enwiki) a rather interesting week, and that was just what I needed. sonia ♫ 05:54, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, heh we all start out like that, but I'm more... uhhh... slow in some ways. But when I learn something it stays lodged in my thick cranium. —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? 06:56, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Admin Barnstar.png The Admin's Barnstar For showing me all about what and what not to put on this wikipedia! Thanks so much!!! Happy editing, 202.154.144.239 (talk) 07:34, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the welcome!!

Hi Sonia, Thank you very much for the welcome and links to Simple English help guides, very much appreciated. Simple English Wikipedia is a new discovery to me and I think that I will enjoy it here. Thank you very much for contributing to the Gisborne, New Zealand article too :-) See you around in *Wikispace!* Jakingsbeer (talk) 08:21, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Very glad to help. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Cheers. sonia ♫ 08:23, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

History of the United States

Glad to see somebody's giving it its due. Little FYI...I just added a couple sentences in the Constitution/Federal Period section, so you may have to look those over again

Purple backpack89 05:45, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm collecting my comments as I go- unfortunately I've got a full schedule until Sunday, when I'll do a full copyedit and collate everything. If that's all right by you. sonia ♫ 06:11, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion query

This, Midnight sun:edward's side of twilight is OR, unsourced, poorly written (Lack Of Captalisation) etc. Opinion puhlease? {{ec}} works, but no {{tps}}! :-( – 220.101.28.25 (talk) 04:13, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(Devoted TPS for the win! This is why I like writing out it out manually. ;) We usually try to fix up poorly written articles than just speedy delete them here, but I think this one meets A4 for not establishing notability, especially since it's still unpublished. I'll leave this for Sonia to take care of, though. Lazy? Who, me? :D Alternatively, 220.101, you could start a request for deletion for it or redirect it to Twilight. Hope this helps! :) Love, —Clementina talk 05:48, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done After a quick discussion with Sonia, I've deleted it. I guess I'm not so lazy after all. ;) —Clementina talk 06:00, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did say 'opinion' >:-{ <grumble>. I was going to RfD it, but wasn't sure of the procedure, only done a little of that sort of thing at en:WP. More CsD I think (don't need to create pages etc.) Meant to come back but I was chasing vandals and such at en:WP (and doing the washing etc. in RL). Oh well! </grumble>. - 220.101 ^(talk) 08:44, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

<hugs> I was attempting out a messy legal problem irl, so I got Clem to take action as she saw fit. XfD is, like everything else, consolidated here into one page: WP:AFD, and instructions are fairly simple. If you got an account you could use Twinkle, which would make your job a lot easier- I can't give an IP rollback either! </hugs> Stopped grumbling yet? ;) sonia ♫ 09:04, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh alright (though I never really stop grumbling, thats just me :-/ ) - 220.101 ^(talk) 16:01, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can't, but I'm certain a developer can! However, there's probably more chance of gravity failing than a IP getting rollback!

Also, Template:Tps and Template:Blue pencil are now fully armed and ready to go!
