Thanks!

Hello Keilana. Thanks for the reply. I am still a little confused! I will study about this and probably add a secret string. This topic is quite interesting. Anyway, thank you for the reply. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 03:02, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Happy New Year! I will be very happy if you help me with this. If I add secret string, can anyone break it? Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 03:24, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I will certainly not add "My middle name is Foo" or similar string. I will add far more complex. Let's say, my secret string has 50 letters and numbers. Can anyone break it? Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 03:34, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the information. This is something that I never thought about. If I face any problem about this, I will contact you. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 03:45, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind message. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 03:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of International Worship in English

First, you wrote at User talk:Keeper76:

No problem, I'll undelete it and take it to AFD for a procedural nom if you want. Happy 2008! Keilanatalk(recall) 22:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

And then, fifteen minutes later, at User talk:Davidabram:

Mr. Abram, I must concur with Keeper. S/He said it perfectly, so I don't need to. The article was deleted because it did not assert the subject's notability in the article. If it is a notable subject, the article may be recreated, but you need to show why it should be included in Wikipedia, and reference it with reliable sources. I hope that I am a help to you, and please don't hesitate to contact me if you need help or have any questions. Cheers! Keilanatalk(recall) 22:47, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

The sources were there and unquestionably alive and reliable. I'll assert the notability by tying IWE to the minitsterial efforts of Templeton Prize winner Kyung-Chik Han and Bill Majors, Honorary Citizen of Seoul--but you have to carry out the undelete as you indicated to Keeper76. I'm in the process of writing an article for Young Nak Church, the direct effort of Kyung-Chik Han, and ultimately, International Worship in English might be merged with Young Nak Church, with a redirect from International Worship in English--but you should carry through with the undelete to allow me a chance to prove the notability of International Worship in English and give International Worship in English its fair day in the AfD sun.

From a newbie

Hi Keilana, I 'think' I recognize you. I was really sad when I checked (what I believe to be) your previous username and found you had vanished. The only way I spotted you was that I see you still enjoy playing mediator :-) (If you fear that this might identify you, delete this last sentence). Now that you're part of the all-powerful cabal, you can start pulling your weight - but I, for one, admire you more as a mediator than an administrator. I was going to complain that I couldn't find your RFA, but I see that you passed under your last name. Gimme a quick reply if you can spare the time - and keep up the good work.

The Boot

Thanks for the response! I am still a little confused though because I cited several Hampton Roads newspapers. Are they not considered independent, reliable sources? I think there are a few more that I could add if that would make the article more substantial. I just want this article to be used as a reference for the Hampton Roads community so that they can see what new types of things are happening in our area and then be able to explore the local food movement, along with supporting the local artists and bands that are featured at the boot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Megan.fro (talk • contribs) 21:54, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Extraordinary rendtion

Swatjester's refusal to engage in a mediation is perplexing since I believe he is an adminstrator and has thumbed his nose at yet another avenue for resolving edit conflicts. What would be the next step I can pursue to bring some type of finality to the issue? Thanks for volunteering to offer your expertise.--Ccson (talk) 04:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

See RFC for Extrordinary rendition--Ccson (talk) 21:29, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Swatjester has posted his opinion on the RFC. I thought this and all other avenues were to invite neutral third parties not interested in the dispute to post their opinion. His opinion and mind shouldn't count and that's why the RFC indicates the posting party should enter a neutral statement. I don't thinks his statement as an interested party is neutral.--Ccson (talk) 20:58, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Your close of True Blue

Hi... I'm not sure I totally follow your close on this one. In reading through the AfD it seems that just about everyone agreed that the musician currently written about at True Blue (producer) fails WP:MUSIC pretty handily. (whether evaluated as a musician, a re-mixer, a DJ, a sampler, or whatever), except for Mr. Blue himself. It seems to me that the article itself should have been deleted outright and the mention of it removed from the dab page. Did you intend for the article to remain in existance at the end of your close? Thanks! (you can answer here, I'll watch) ++Lar: t/c 06:13, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

(refactored from my talk per my policy) I'm not quite sure what happened there. Should I change the AfD outcome? Keilana^talk_(recall) 19:13, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I think the outcome as stated is ok, but the implementation isn't quite what the outcome says... If I understand how things were before the AfD started, way long ago we had a normal dab page at True Blue, then hiphop98 copy/paste moved his True Blue article on top of it, and moved the redirect to some other name... making a right mess of things as per usual when copy/paste moves are involved. Is that history right? After the AfD you put the redirect back to the primary True Blue page (satisfying the "revert back to dab" part), but didn't actually delete True Blue (producer) (not satisfying the many voices pointing out the article fails WP:N badly ). What I THINK should happen is that True Blue (producer) also goes away completely (deleted) and the dab page doesn't mention it at all any more (since it's a deleted page, why mention it?). That seems the "right" thing to me and in line with what I think consensus was saying in the AfD. Perhaps we need a DRV to be doubly sure, but if you're comfortable with that, I'd say go for it. Or if you want to do a DRV as a double check anyway (you can open a DRV on yourself if you want to, it's not a faux pas or anything) I'll be happy to chime in. I don't think this is an issue of fault, the DRV would just be to double check, mind you... there was quite the mess with these pages made before the AfD started. What do you think? (you can answer here, I'll watch, but if you answer on my talk, I'll continue there instead of here... ) ++Lar: t/c 20:41, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Vandal Question

Hi. I have a question about vandalism, but I'm not sure how to proceed. I have an issue with the user UpDown. This disagreement is minor, but they seem to have a history of disregarding the input of others and the accepted conventions of Wikipedia in favor of his own ideas. I have no desire to get into an edit war with them or report them, but they seem unreceptive to resolving the matter by debate or vote. It strikes me that users like this are corrosive to the ideas at the heart of Wikipedia. What should I do? Thanks in advance. --Dr Fell (talk) 13:12, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Silly as I know it sounds, I don't know that I know enough to ask any specific questions at this point. I've always kind of ruled myself out of consideration, so I haven't actually learned enough about a lot of things to generally even be able to ask reasonable questions. I've seen the virtual classroom page, and I guess will review that before I give any ill-informed answers to you. Probably will be able to come back with something more intelligible on Monday or Tuesday. John Carter (talk) 20:45, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Adminship

Hi, I was just wondering if you became an admin after changing your username or before? (I can't find any RfA under this name). I'm struggling to comprehend how folks can have a right to vanish and a right to retain the sysop bit... --kingboyk (talk) 23:28, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

It is allowed because it has been policy for some time in WP:ADMIN. 1 != 2 16:06, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

If RTV was under non-controversial circumstances, as this case, the user hase every right to it. Please respect that right here. — Rlevse • Talk • 04:40, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Advice

I would like to recommend that you do not re-run for adminship as you offered. It will prove little and most likely result in pointed(unreasonable) opposition. Even very good admins with their reputation laid out before them can fail RfA for nonsense reasons.

I came back as an admin under a new name after nasty harassment and several nosy parkers started asking me who I was and demanding that I re-ran for admin. I did not accept these demands as these are not reasonable requests as it is long standing policy that it is allowed for admins to come back under a new name for privacy reasons. If people wish to challenge this they can go to WP:ADMIN and propose the removal or change of the rule. 1 != 2 16:05, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

The policy is the issue as far as I am concerned; it doesn't follow that because there is such a policy any objections to it are automatically unreasonable.

I kind of wish I hadn't mentioned it now (sorry about that), as it's certainly nothing personal against Keilana. I agree she has no obligation to restand under the current rules and would therefore also advise against it. --kingboyk (talk) 17:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Keilana, I don't think anyone suggested you should undergo RfA again, and I believe it would be a waste of your time and the community's time to do so (you would easily pass). The thread here is more about people who abandoned their old account and got a new one, complete with admin privileges, which you did not do--thus your name should not have been mentioned; I think that bit on your user page about the "right to vanish" confused the OP--and myself as well. By contrast, I am far less comfortable with admins with completely inaccessible RfAs.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (talk) 17:30, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Keilana

Hello Keilana. I repect you a lot but I really really want you to reconsider your reconfirmation RfA you are about to go through. There's a number of issues here, firstly, it's pointless - I know your old username and am fully aware of the circumstances that you had to leave your old account. You are here in good standing and there's no reason to change that here. Secondally, we haven't got a full knowledge of contributions to guage how you deal with problems with this username - yeah, of course your admin logs talk for themselves, but we don't have much to go on with repsect to your pre admin actions. No user can be expected to fully evaluate your candidacy without knowing exactly your past movements, and for obvious reasons, this isn't possible in this case. All in all, you really don't need to do this, and it seems like a waste of resources given that you clearly left your old account in good standing and there's no reason to suggest that you shouldn't be an administrator - people could be doing more constructive things. Please reconsider and take care, Ryan Postlethwaite 03:23, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Ryan. It is pointless to stand for reconfirmation when you haven't done anything wrong. — DarkFalls ^talk 03:25, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I was asked by a community member in good standing to be reconfirmed, and I will honor that request. Keilana^talk_(recall) 03:27, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

But how do you honestly expect the community to fully evaluate you? You don't want your previous account name know (which I fully understnad) - but you're asking for a position of trust that contributors should have full access of information to. This really isn't going to work, especially when a lot of users will vouch for you. Ryan Postlethwaite 03:36, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

It's all in my contribs. Keilana^talk_(recall) 03:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

True, but not many people know your old account - if they did, there would be no need for the RfA. Please please don't identify yourself, but this RfA simply won't work when most users don't know the full story. Ryan Postlethwaite 03:40, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Anyone who wants to can find out if they need to. Keilana^talk_(recall) 03:42, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm in total agrement with Ryan...I hate to see you going through this. I highly recommend that you tighten up your recall criteria...for all our sakes...voting can be exhausting...;) Dreadstar † 03:44, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

• I think your RfA is unnecessary, and it bothers me that its existence makes the discovery of your previous identity inevitable. I hope that you don't view my comments as an attempt to out you, as has been suggested. They were intended to argue that the RfA is unnecessary and that you enjoyed extreme support in your successful RfA and have done nothing to warrant a different result since. ^Avruchtalk 03:49, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't casting doubt on your past conduct or current right to be an admin, I'm sure you do a fine job and, as you know, I didn't ask you to go through this RfA. I'm sure the overwhelming support you've generated will be heartening anyway.

Vpmi Article - Fourth Request for a Reply

Keilana, if you are going to delete an article, you owe it to the author to provide a response to my challenge of your assessment. Otherwise you are not acting in good faith as an administrator on this site and are abusing your rights. If you are going to take on this responsibility you must account for your decisions. I have been requesting this reply from you for almost a month so my patience and tone are in a downward spiral. This is my fourth attempt to get a reply from you on your decision to delete the article for Vpmi. I am writing to request that the article for Vpmi be restored. You identified it as blatant advertising. I am concerned that administrators on Wikipedia are more focused on deleting content than on working with content providers to make the content valuable and appropriate for this online encyclopedia. If you feel the article has blatant advertising, please give me the opportunity to revise it so that it meets Wikipedia standards. This article was built using the Microsoft Project template as an example. I believe the software is notable as defined in the Wikipedia:Notability section where it says, "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Should you disagree, I think it would be reasonable to ask why the sources listed do not qualify for notability. Furthermore, I think it would be prudent to do the same critical review of all software solutions listed on the page List of project management software. I read through many of these and would argue that based on your justification, none of these should be included. The language used in writing the article was taken primarily from 3rd party articles in relevant technology publications about the Vpmi solution (see reference section of article). In addition, the software is referenced and talked about at length in two books that are currently used by classrooms across the country for educating graduate students on project and portfolio management (also included as links in the reference section of the article). In light of this, your feedback regarding exactly what needs to be changed is greatly appreciated. Please reply as soon as possible.--Tilleyg (talk) 04:42, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Keilana, I am going to add Vpmi back to Wikipedia in a format that mirrors that of an approved project management software solution AtTask, Inc.. Although microsoft project includes a gallery of screenshots, I have opted to not include these in an effort to remove any impression of advertising. This is simply a listing of a notable software solution. I appreciate your feedback and comments.--Tilleyg (talk) 22:37, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:Virtual Classroom

Hello Transhumanist! I was wondering if there's anything I can do to help in the Virtual Classroom. Thanks! Keilana^talk_(recall) 20:55, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes!

See the VC Lessons info box (posted near the top of the page above). It includes links to the coaching pages of the current students. Please look over as many of their contributions as you can find time to do so, and post your advice on how each of them can improve their performance as editors. Try to keep it in theme with any plans provided on their pages so far (some are being assigned editing tasks, others have progress to administrative tasks, for example).

LaraLove is working on a new lesson called User:The Transhumanist/Virtual classroom/LaraLove, on Good Article development (and mentioned she will try to complete it this week). We need proofreaders/copy-editors to go over it and polish it.

To monitor for new edits and vandalism, etc., please watchlist the Virtual Classroom and all of its subpages. (I'd appreciate it if you'd watchlist the User Page Design Center as well).

Thank you for offering to help. I look forward to working with you.

The Transhumanist 11:49, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello! i want to know that what is going to happen now about this case, Aren't you or any other administrator is going to take action against the Vandal?Sarmad (talk) 20:59, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I was asking because the case has been moved to the archive, giving an impression that no one wants to act upon the findings of the checkuser. --Sarmad (talk) 18:34, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Well i have already posted there but still no action! So should i post a new message there with more details! Thanx for your kind help! --Sarmad (talk) 15:00, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Why RfA again?

Hello Keilana. How are you? Your user name is quite sweet. Can I ask you a question: Why RfA again? You are already an admin. Anyway, I supported you. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 13:29, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

You are a trustworthy person. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 13:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Just popping in...

Hi,

I'm sorry for whatever trouble that necessitated the username change -- You're a kind person, and a good admin, and shouldn't have been subjected to any difficulty in your work.

I'm about to go support your RfA (although the support is hardly crucial!), but I did want to mention that I'm a bit concerned about some of the speedy deletions brought up by W. Marsh. My qualms don't rise to level that I'd bring the matter up at the RfA, but I would ask you to please be more careful in applying CSD A7. There's never any harm in bringing close cases up for discussion. Almost every day, I see an article that I thought was hopeless redeemed by clever sourcing at AfD.

Bearing that in mind, I know you'll be very helpful to the project, and I'm glad to see you with the mop firmly in hand. :) Best wishes, Xoloz (talk) 14:09, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your kind words, Xoloz. Keilana^talk_(recall) 22:12, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Your comment on Administrators' noticeboard

Hello Keilana. How are you? You wrote on the Administrators' noticeboard that "Pseudoscience is a delicate matter, and we should tread carefully to achieve our end—a fair, unbiased encyclopedia." Well, pseudoscience is false. And, that's not POV. That's a fact. We cannot afford to be 'nice' to pseudoscientific theories. I would like to know your views on this subject. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 03:14, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I agree with you. I should be a little careful regarding these issues. Anyway, thank you for the reply. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 03:24, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

CIDO-FM Deletion

Hi, Keilana. You speedily deleted the CIDO-FM, Creston Community Radio article, and I would like to have the opportunity to prove notability of same, if you are willing to reconsider your decision. Also, I understand it was a speedy deletion, and notification is not required, but I do feel that I deserved at least a message from you saying you were deleting the article, just as common courtesy. I am not trying to give you any grief; I'm sure your deletion was well intentioned; but it gave me no time or opportunity to improve the article (which I would have attempted to do had I known it was sub-par.) Thus, I think it was rash and heavy-handed on your part. I include this PP re: deletions, which I feel would apply in this case: "Deletion is not required if a page meets these criteria. Before nominating an article for speedy deletion, consider whether it could be improved, reduced to a stub, merged or redirected elsewhere or be handled with some other action short of deletion. If this is possible, speedy deletion is probably inappropriate." I look forward to hearing your reply, and thank you for your time. Kootenayvolcano (talk) 17:17, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply- I don't want to request undeletion, it seems disrespectful to you, you obviously felt it had problems, but would like to work with the original article and improve it. Is there a way to access the original article I wrote?- I do not have a copy of it.Kootenayvolcano (talk) 00:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi again, Keilana, I have worked on the CIDO-FM article which you deleted earlier in January, due to lack of notability. I believe I have made a better case for the notability of the topic and hope you will agree with me. Thanks for your time. Kootenayvolcano (talk) 07:22, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Complaint about a stalker

I have felt that a stalker, Use Charles, who has written to you some while ago (above), has stalked me occasionally several times.

As example of stalking, when I had been on 2 January 2008 reading material about White Rajahs of Sarawak, and participated about some discussion there: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Talk:James_Brooke then User Charles on 3 January 2008 had seemingly followed my edits and left his mark on talk page of one of those White Rajahs, Edit history

I have felt already earlier on many occasuons that User Charles has apparently stalked me.

Stalking made by User Charles has got also more serious firms, as he has, however mistakenly, tried to get to know my identity, or to trace me through an assumed contact. In the following diffs User Charles is asking for identity:

tries to get to know my identity

and another time

I hereby make this complaint of the said stalker. Henq (talk) 12:26, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Keilana, funny this should show up in my watch list (clear out user talk pages every so often). You can very clearly see in the White Rajahs edit history that I edited *before* Henq even showed up at the page. Note this exchange: [1]. It's actually proof that he has been following my edits. As for the mention of Saxe-Altenburg, etc, in that exchange, I don't suffer from memory loss, so of course I am able to recall which users have been trying to engage me in a dispute. As for the message board postings, it was called into question linking to a very new post in an inactive discussion regarding the very subject. If it wasn't Henq, that is fine, but to have a discussion directly linked, when it is new and aligns with the users few, it does call into question WP:OR and admitting one's own "research" for the purposes of inserting one's point of view into an article. Sorry, but I am not a stalker. I didn't go out looking for anyone's name and the evidence shows that you have been following my edits. Just so I don't get accused of looking up Henq's contribution history to stalk him, here is what showed up in my watchlist:

• (diff) (hist) . . Wikipedia talk:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR; 07:41 . . (+642) . . Slakr (Talk | contribs) (→Archiving Redux - ++ comment)
• (diff) (hist) . . User talk:Unschool; 07:39 . . (+1,248) . . Dorftrottel (Talk | contribs) (→Recombinant text - cmt)

• (diff) (hist) . . Anne, Princess Royal; 06:23 . . (+13) . . Joeldipops (Talk | contribs) (→Kidnap attempt)

I'd have to be comatose to think it wasn't about me. That Henq is pushing this matter where the fault is clearly evident (not me) is slightly disturbing. Charles 13:50, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

(This will be posted to both talk pages.) I must say first of all, that as I'm looking through the evidence, Henq does seem to be following Charles around. At the talk page of Charles Vyner Brooke, User:Charles edits the page before Henq does, first at 4:55 UTC on December 27. He later edits the page again on January 3rd (at 22:06). About 45 minutes later (22:50), Henq shows up at the talk page for the first time. That looks really suspicious to me, seeing as (A)Neither Henq nor Charles has actually edited the article in question, and (B)Henq had never touched the discussion before Charles showed up there, and Charles had contributed to discussion before. Therefore, it is likely that Henq followed Charles to the page. (By the way, the comment about the identity was meant to be sarcastic, if I read it correctly.) As I look through the contribs, some encounters may be coincidental—people with the same interests sometimes show up in the same place. Nevertheless, though, it's clear that Charles is sometimes being followed by Henq. Best, Keilana^talk 14:52, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

This again shows that User Charles is stalking me. He keeps this user page in watchlist - and appears here less than two hours after I posted my complaint. If I had been stalking Charles in the start of this, I would have seen that he had approached Keilana with an accusation against me (and I would have had some possibility to answer before that questionable blocking made by Keilana). However, I do not stalk User Charles, contrary to what he is doing. I have been reading several times about White Rajahs of Sarawak - there is my edit in discussion about another White rajah, before User Charles appeared to that page. Generally, I have some same interest fields, which is why I occasionally edit same articles and participate same discussions. However, in this thing, Keilana, very unbecomingly to anything which is needed to be impartial, seems to have chosen her party. (And surely User Charles appears soon to stalk me and stalk my comments.) Henq (talk) 15:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Many people keep others' pages watchlisted, and comment on issues that may affect them. I do it, many other editors and admins do it, and apparently Charles does it. If I see a comment on someone's talk that may affect me, I go look at it. It's a common practice, not stalking at all. Yes, in some places it has to have been coincidence because I know that the two of you have a common interest in royalty. However, in several instances, you (Henq) appeared behind Charles at a place that you had never edited before, sometimes within an hour of his edit, to express a contrary opinion. What exactly do you feel is wring with your block? If you felt it was unjustified, you should've posted an unblock request, and another admin would have taken care of it. I do appreciate that you came to me with your concerns, but in any case, I think the block was justified. Best, Keilana^talk 16:28, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Rudget!

Dear Keilana, my sincere thanks for your support in my second request for adminship, which ended with 113 supports, 11 opposes, and 4 neutral. I would especially like to thank my admin coach and nominator, Rlevse and Ryan Postlethwaite who in addition to Ioeth all inspired me to run for a second candidacy. I would also like to make a special mention to Phoenix-wiki, Dihyrdogen Monoxide and OhanaUnited who all offered to do co-nominations, but I unfortunately had to decline. I had all these funny ideas that it would fail again, and I was prepared for the worst, but at least it showed that the community really does have something other places don't. Who would have though Gmail would have been so effective? 32 emails in one week! (Even if it does classify some as junk :P) I'm glad that I've been appointed after a nail biting and some might call, decision changing RFA, but if you ever need anything, just get in touch. The very best of luck for 2008 and beyond, Rudget. 15:10, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

support you

you are good user. i saw this when looking to ur edits closely. that is why i think you should become an admin, really. i hope you get the position and you have my strongest support! Shojaijekhi (talk) 18:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
