removing the entry[edit]Ayman Ahmed El-Difrawi (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) The entry that is currently up was posted merely as a substitute for the previous entries and is not meant to be a comprehensive biography. The original entry demostrated considerable bias on the part of the author and contained unreliable references, as noted by RandomHumanoid, among others. Another user suggested removing the entry on the grounds that Mr. Difrawi is not an independently notable person. I agree. In fact, I have contacted Wikipedia on Mr. Difrawi's behalf to request that the entry be removed, but as yet there has been no response to the message. Riana, do you agree that the entry should be removed? If so, can you advise me on the best way to go about doing that? I appreciate any advice you can offer in this matter.

Please consider protecting another version...[edit]Ayman Ahmed El-Difrawi (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) At least revert to a version not identified as vandalism if you're going to keep protected, e.g. 139907092. The version you protected has been identified as vandalism and accused of being an ad for the individual and company, etc... unbirthday?[edit]Did i detect an celebration? if so cheers SatuSuro 23:53, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Actually her unbirthday was when Carmen wished her Happy Birthday on the 11th. ;) — $PЯINGrαgђ 02:23, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Belated congrats![edit]Happy birthday Riana! Yeah I know I'm a bit late now, but I prefer to congratulate you now rather than not congratulating at all. So, I hope you had a nice day with lots of joy, surrounded by your loved ones. Here's a little treat for you. :-) Festive regards, Húsönd 23:56, 21 June 2007 (UTC) Me too - belated but I had a good excuse (BIG dentist appointment of two days!) - I still send you a wiki birthday kiss anyway.--VS talk 10:13, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Sorry...[edit]![]() ...I'm late. I was trying to bake a cake in my new nuclear oven, but it didn't go over so well. Happy belated birthday! ~ Wikihermit 01:32, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

I apologize[edit]Sorry, Riana. I've already emailed to you about this. These are my first few hours of using this tool, therefore I thought the page was blanked. I'll be more careful in the future. Zondi 05:03, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Rationales[edit]Certainly - I try to, but I will pay more attention in future. Thanks! ck lostsword • T • C 11:59, 22 June 2007 (UTC) Question regarding vandalism[edit]First of all happy belated birthday! Secondly, the article First World Problems was created, sent to AfD and later deleted this week as a hoax. During the AfD, the was evidence of an internet forum behind the hoax, and a large number of forum members creaking sockpuppets to continue the hoax and vandalize the page. The forum now is plotting ANOTHER vandal attack and is explaining how to get around Wikipedia blocks that were placed on the accounts. I honestly wanted to give you a heads up as an admin user, as I get the feeling there might be a heavy vandal/sockpuppet attack in the near future from this group, and wanted to know what, if anything should be done to prevent this.

Copyright[edit]Hi Riana, On copyright tags, I normally use GFDL, which seems to give other people the right to use my shot. Is there a licence that doesn't give people this right? I'm having trouble understanding all this copyright stuff.Thanks for your time. Sardaka 13:05, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
re: complaint[edit]Run for your life! I said, RUN! Mr Saxon 15:22, 22 June 2007 (UTC) WNAZ-FM[edit]Hi yet again, Riana—tired of me yet? :) Listen, I did a cursory check of the WNAZ-FM article against the station's official website and our article appears to be an almost complete copyvio. Unless the station website copied from WP (highly unlikely, but can be checked through Wayback Machine), I think the article should be speedily deleted and stubified. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 15:24, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks...[edit]...for the reversion on my Userpage. And for blocking the perp. Oh, and happy belated birthday. Cheers! Flyguy649talkcontribs 16:15, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
List of films by gory death scene (NOT a reverse request)[edit]Hello, I had this page on my bookmarks, just realized it had been deleted. I was wondering if it could be "brought back" (for lack of a better term) so that I may copy it to my harddrive. I am not asking for the delete decision to be reversed, just want a copy of the page (links and all). If you could help me or if this is possible (in some way), I would appericate it.

Semi-prot[edit]Oh - just noticed now as I was replying to a comment. Thanks for doing that & for looking out. Silly trolls :) - Alison ☺ 22:09, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
My talk[edit]Thanks for protecting it! :-) (Just noticed... protection doesn't give me the yellow bar...) --Evilclown93(talk) 00:16, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
RE:Miranda[edit]Hmm... Have you been on IRC lately? Miranda seems to like to harass me and my Russian friends. Saying that I thought she was trolling because of the bitterness between us, does not constitute a personal attack. Having her going around flipping out on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Crazytales telling users that they ARE trolls (notice how she said they were trolls, I said I THOUGHT she was trolling). She then goes to "remove" another "personal attack" and completely change my wording. Well, I don't mean to seem mean (hehe), but I think the situation is a little un-fair here, and I have informed another administrator that tried to mediate us on IRC (something that I agreed to, she refused to even talk to anyone about it). Have a super day, and I hope I have no pissed you off to bad! =) =) --trey 04:48, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
changing all the my comments, pisses me off. I didn't name her name, although, she is doing a fine job attacking everyone on that RfA. Wikipedia is not fucking censored if anyone forgot, so I can say Holy Shit support if I want to. Miranda doesn't have any right to remove that. That is refactoring comments. I am trying to let her go, but she follows my contribs around. --trey 05:01, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

ANyways, thank you for semi protecting my page. Well, I started a Request for checkuser and a Case of sockpuppetry, as I believe the assault on my userpage is related to an incident at the Lamborghini Diablo page. Since you are an admin, I am wondering if you can help me out. Thanks! Karrmann 05:38, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
block[edit]Look at AIV history - I think a range block is needed. Tvoz |talk 07:54, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
An award for Riana....[edit]
--SunStar Net talk 11:42, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
I undid a revision on the said article after you protected it, since reversions of the same were reverted by Miranda and others. Now, I regret that I didn't investigate the warring more thoroughly, because a lot of people are demanding reversions to their own versions. Can you help me look for a revision that will help me escape all these claims of libelous statements? bibliomaniac15 BUY NOW! 19:39, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Stop rubbing salt into their wounds! ;) --Steve (Stephen) talk 23:54, 23 June 2007 (UTC) Unwarranted protection of British National Front[edit]Your total protection of the British National Front article, under the false pretense of "edit warring" is totally unwarranted, as the edit history clearly shows. There is absolutely no evidence of an edit war in that article.Spylab 02:54, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Will (talk) 03:13, 24 June 2007 (UTC) Deleted for being MySpacey[edit]Hi Riana I attempted to make my User:garryegan entry as non My-Spacey as possible. I think I need a new picture (not the wedding picture). I may have underestimated the intended theme of Wikipedia. I am a search engine engineer and Internet consultant and am similar to another successful Wiki entry http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Bruce_Clay I had intended to get a Wiki entry like this one. But you cannot submit yourself and even though me and Bruce are competitors, he gets a Wiki and I don't. :( http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-US&q=internet+business+consulting
Thanks Garry Helen Zille[edit]Thank you Riana for fixing the image. I knocked off without managing to fix it, and this morning it was fixed. I see you have created an organized environment on Wikipedia. Gregorydavid 07:36, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Ras Tanura Middle School[edit]Hi. I noticed you removed the prod from this article, stating that schools were "inherently notable." If you have time, would you kindly point me to the policy page that says this? I checked the notability guidelines for organizations and couldn't find such an exception for middle schools. Thanks.

oh dear[edit]![]() ![]() Noes! Birthday? I missed?? How did I manage that?!?! I am officially the worst friend ever and I am obviously not worthy of being held in favour with the likes of Kyoko and $pringeragh and others. I hereby hang my head in shame and meekly offer you as a token of my love and friendship a choice of the following:
I hope everything goes well in life and with exams and health and friends and family, and I hope you know that if you ever need a listening ear I am just a click or a poke away :) All my love times several squillion, -- Editor at Large • talk 08:04, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

It appears the user who is doing this is an Ip rolling troll. Who is attacking userpages of many different editors (Now including me). Francisco Tevez 09:47, 24 June 2007 (UTC) Back again as 222.153.70.210 Francisco Tevez 09:49, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Awww god, Have you seen what's happening to my userpage? Is there any chance you can protect it? Francisco Tevez 10:03, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Page protect[edit]Hi, I noticed you blocked an IP that i reported. I also think it may be wise to protect the page and revert to my revision. I also suspect that this user has another two ips that he vandalises with, one of the others is User:222.153.78.138 (Wonder-Contributor)(<S>)
Actually there was nothing wrong with what you said, its one of the other comments below it, thanks for the reply User:Mindys12345 Thanks[edit]No it wasn't - it was 'caused by a bug with Firefox. PMA 12:57, 24 June 2007 (UTC) Hi there![edit]Thanks. I hope you didn't take that as rudeness. I think I had an account a long time ago but forgot the name. :) SparkleMan 13:58, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Irish slur[edit]Did you read what I posted here fully before removing it? It points out that the name contains a racial slur, see the definition. This has nothing to do with "reproductive functions", it is just that the part of the policy that mentions slurs also mentions "reproductive functions". Until(1 == 2) 14:53, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Friends, Wikipedians, lend me your ears, and please drop it, right now. Stop wasting time here. Either try WP:RFCN, or leave it. Or else. Thank you. Moreschi Talk 15:16, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
User[edit]Thanks, someday i hope to be able to do that lol Chaza93 15:53, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Cheers Ri, do you think i would have a succesful RfA? Chaza93 19:10, 24 June 2007 (UTC) Ok Thanks Chaza93 19:13, 24 June 2007 (UTC) I am just wondering... How come you only blocked 222.153.70.210 for 24 hrs when he was vandalizing, swearing, personal attacking, and making death threats? SparkleMan 16:33, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Re. A request[edit]Done! :-) Hmm, gummy bears! So much for my healthy teeth! :-) Best regards, Húsönd 16:37, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the reversion...[edit]The kid messaged me about a week ago, saying that he liked tall women and that he hoped I was between the ages of 10 and thirteen. I figured it was best to ignore it, but now I've informed him that I'm likely old enough to be his mother. That should kill it, I think. Cheers! -- Merope 16:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC) Hello[edit]I'm a blocked user and i'd like to know why the users Jayjg and Crum375 have declared that i'm "banned" from the project. I only created a bunch of Canadian villages some time ago and they have deleted them because "trolling". What can i do about this?

Karrmann 19:47, 24 June 2007 (UTC) Extending protection on Ayman Ahmed El-Difrawi[edit]Hi Riana, can you extend full protection on this article until the Mediation Committee chair provides advice on how to proceed? Otherwise, edit wars will start immediately tomorrow when it expires. Thanks. --RandomHumanoid(⇒) 20:06, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
You just won't let me have any fun[edit]First you disagree with me about userboxes in general, and now you're saying I can't promote Willy on Wheels if I become a 'crat? Geez, next thing I know, you'll probably tell me that I shouldn't delete Main Page. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:54, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I am being hunted![edit]Why did you block me? I did not do any vandalism in the Afro-Brazilian article. User João Felipe C.S is the one who is doing vandalism there. He is changing the real number of Afro-Brazilians (45 million, according to IBGE census) to a mere 11 million, which does not make any sense. I reverted his vandalism and you blocked me. João Felipe C.S is the one who deserved to be blocked, not me. I am being hunted by him. All my contributions are being reverted by João Felipe C.S in the Afro-Brazilian article and in the Brazil article, with no justification. I think you should talk to him. Opinoso 20:58, 25 June 2007 (UTC) please write me[edit]Hi Riana, could you please send me a talk page message? I'm trying out a different colour for my new messages bar, and I can't tell how it will look until I get a message. Thanks! --Kyoko 21:43, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Please, help me.[edit]User João Felipe C.S is reverting my edits in the Afro-Brazilian page with no justifications. Please, you have to do something. Opinoso 22:27, 25 June 2007 (UTC) My dearest Riana[edit]
Stress[edit]Thanks :) Most of it is caused by the 95 degree heat, I think, but taking on a bold proposal is also a major part of it (the mailing list isn't very helpful). — Deckiller 23:17, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
