== Thank You ==
Thank you for taking care of the Safalra User page so quickly. I was not sure how to go about it, since reporting the IP did not work. I know that editing someone else's user page is a big no-no, so I did not wish to do that, even if it was to remove that icky vandalism. If there is an easier way for me to report things like that (i.e. items that I'd prefer to not edit (user pages) or locked articles) please let me know!
Have a great day Alison! :) [[User:ArielGold|ArielGold<font color="FF0000">♥</font>]] [[User_talk:ArielGold|(talk)]]
Hello admin. Please take a look at Iranian peoples (which is a FA) where User:Babakexorramdin is destroying the quality of this Featured Article by inserting pseudo-scientific and unsourced POV, such as the claim that Uzbek people are an "Iranian people" (Uzbeks are a Turkic people as one can see in the respective article). I inserted an "accuracy is disputed" tag into the section, but he removed the tag and added more POV. If he continues his bias, the article will lose its FA status.
Well, it looks like he has been making constructive edits over there. I don't really have the expertise to determine, though. It's been a week since the article has been updated by this editor. I'll keep it on my watchlist and see what happens - Alison☺22:14, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You did a good thing by blocking that "sick, racist, WWE/Bratz hating shrew", "(mockingly) WWE owns "51%" of Bratz, Mims was the theme song of WrestleMania 23". Ban that racist user, before he/she evades another block.--68.44.84.18503:32, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nasibi article
I wrote to you that User:Woneders_land keeps reversing edits in Nasibi article without discussing my points in the disscusion page , and you asked me to bring the matter to his talk page first but he did not respond and he reversed the edits again. THANK YOU . Dy yol08:46, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there! Have very little on-line time here. In Cork city right now, public terminal. Weather is crap & wish I was back in sunny Cali. Wedding on Saturday, should be fun! Catch yiz later & miss you all :) - Alison☺13:32, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Alison! I'm a new user. I joined with the intention of making considerable contributions, but I find that most of the articles in my areas of interest are already in pretty good state, and I don't have much to add contentwise. So what I want to do now is stuff like reverting vandalism, helping maintain NPOV, mediating disputes, welcoming new users etc. You seem to have got a plethora of awards for this kind of work; can u please help me start out ?

Monthly Challenge: Submit an article to our Jumpaclass competition! Languishing unloved, it is a great way to improving that article you always meant to improve but never got round to. Challenge someone else to go head to head and see who can improve their article most!
Our Deputy Coordinators have been doing a fabulous job so far. Well done!
The portal is now looking very snazzy, well done to Fireplace for all his hard work.
The list of LGBT people to be sorted has now beed reduced by 20%. Please help us with it, all of us adding just one person a day would have a dramatic effect!
The Core Topics is now largely complete. The original aim of getting some kind of publication out of it is extremely long term - any short term uses we can make of it are welcome on the project talkpage.
A suggestion was made this month that we start our own wiki. Although the conclusion was that we felt we were a part of Wikipedia rather than a stand alone organisation, it seems there is an LGBT wiki already, at http://lgbt.wikia.com/wiki/Main_page . Members may be interested in getting involved there.
The Collaboration is now getting rather short on suggestions. Article nominations for August through December would be welcome on the talkpage.
There is now a list of Missing LGBT Topics. Help is needed to work out which topics can be made redirects or need to be created. Please contribute is you can.
An LGBT banner that was created for Wikipedia's internal ads system has now been adapted so it can be placed on blogs and websites. The html is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:LGBT"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Qxz-ad48.gif" height="53" width="445"></a> Please credit Miranda and link to her userpage: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Miranda">Miranda</a>. The banner can be seen in action here. If you have a blog or a website, please consider adding the banner, either in a post or as part of your profile.

The above named arbitration case has closed. All involved parties are granted an amnesty over the edit-warring that had been ongoing but has given the administrators the ability to sanction anyone who begins disruptive editing again.
You may view the full case decision at the case page.
Sorry for the delay in replying. The editor above isn't socking but has created a redirect to another page in talk space. It's a bit unorthodox, but I don't think there's anything in the rules against it. If they don't like their username, they could change it. But their is only one account at work here. Have you tried discussing it with them? - Alison☺00:21, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks :) I have a handful of my amateurish pics to upload, mostly of towns and buildings. The weather was abyssmal, though, and the whole place wasn't really photogenic, though. Ah well, I should be somewhere more interesting in a month or so and will bring the camera along - Alison☺04:30, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome back, Allie! :) I have no words to tell you how much I've missed you, girl! Can't wait to talk to you soon... Love ya! Phaedriel - 13:07, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Allie!!! *pounces* Glad to have you back.. you wouldn't believe all the "fun" I had while you were away *laughs*. Tell you more when I get to work :) SirFozzie13:18, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, everyone. Glad to see I was missed :) Just getting back into the swing of it all here, slowly but surely - Alison☺23:18, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Unprotected - reduced to semi-prot. If the revert-war starts up again, it'll go back on. I note that there has been no updates on the talk page in 6 weeks since my last message - Alison☺23:16, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nice to see you there. It was backlogged the other day. However, I know you have a great reputation at RFPP, so we won't have to worry about a backlog at that page anymore. :) Acalamari23:04, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's my favourite haunt :) Thanks for the welcome-back, BTW. Missed you guys. And hey - I see my pre-emptive congrats were not in vain. Belated welcome to the team! - Alison☺23:10, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, so you've seen my logs? I had some trouble with protection timers at first, but Ryan helped me with that. RFPP and CAT:TEMP are the places I'm most active at with the administrator tools. I'm doing fine, no problems at all. :) Thanks for everything. Acalamari23:15, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. Believe it or not, I protected them as a result of that AIV report and noticed that the editor had just been moving IP addresses to repeatedly post their BLP stuff. It's set at two weeks right now but get back to me if you need it extended or if there are any further problems - Alison☺23:12, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
New toy
So, when you get your crappy new bit of plastic which is supposed to be a phone, please let me know so you can send it to me absolutely immediately without hesitation and I'll tell you how I get on with it. Please?! The Rambling Man23:16, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Heh!! Still waiting on the crappy plastic but we're told it'll be in our hot li'l hands in about two weeks. One of the guys at work has one and is flashing it around. Had some bits of one on my desk here for months but, sadly, it never actually did anything! - Alison☺23:32, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
