I left a very large response to your oppose. I hope it is able to clear the issues. I am not trying to convince you to change your mind or anything like that; I am just wanting to do some explanations. It should be helpful. :) Acalamari 16:47, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey Sarah :) Just wondering if Punk Boi's probation precludes him from participating in RfAs? He just took part in Mike B's, and although his comment was positive, I'm just wondering. Cheersy, – Riana ঋ 08:51, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey Sarah, i see you're on a wiki-break. Hope all is well. - Finnegans wake 16:04, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Considering how politely his request to VPP was phrased, I suspect he didn't know how better to request an unban. Might you add to your "wrong way" comment some hint about what would be the "right way"? -- Ben TALK/HIST 19:01, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
(Well, I've made an effort toward that in the meantime. Enjoy your wikibreak! -- Ben TALK/HIST 22:09, 24 March 2007 (UTC) )
I would like to thank you for your support in my recent RFA. As you may or may not be aware, it passed with approximately 99% support. I ensure you that I will use the tools well, and if I ever disappoint you, I am open to recall. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to leave me a note on my talkpage. Thanks again, ^demon[omg plz] 20:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
SatuSuro 14:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. Now I have to deal with the ten or twenty other (mainly anon) editors doing much the same sort of thing to similar articles... Still, it'll be a relief at least to have a breathing space from Charoog10. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 16:36, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for responding to my question regarding my talk page after reading the editor reviews. I appriciate the help very much. --Bfissa 19:04, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks Sarah for your quick response on the Mornington Peninsula! Cheers! --Chocolatemax 13:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I want to thank you for being completely honest in your oppose !vote. I also want to applaud you for having what I think is the best and most convincing oppose !vote ever! :) Acalamari 18:44, 28 March 2007 (UTC) |
Hey, on Corby, that wasn't me, I don't know what happened, probably my error, but I was RV'ing the rack edit edits by 71.76.201.6 but somehow just put them back in. Sorry 'bout that. Grye 18:51, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Replied. You're probably drafting a furious response right now... – Riana talk 00:12, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
The fifth meetup of Melbourne Wikipedians is being planned as a breakfast meeting in the city with Jimbo Wales (at a venue to be arranged) on Friday, 27 April 2007.
Jimbo has proposed breakfast as the one real window of opportunity during his tightly scheduled stay in Melbourne. Tbe precise time has to be sorted out with Jimbo, but the arrangements for the equivalent Adelaide meetup a few days before may give a good idea.
Feel free to edit the relevant page in any way that might be helpful. I feel like a bit of an interloper, not having attended previous meetups. If there's anything you can do to help, I'll be grateful. Please think about whether you'll be able to make it, assuming the arrangements are similar to those Adelaide is adopting (i.e. a block of time with people being fairly free to arrive when it suits them). Some indication on the page of your possible participation would be really helpful. Metamagician3000 06:28, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
I was never offended by your oppose, Sarah, and if I had been, that would have meant I was a biased user. I just said on Ryan's talk page that it was the longest oppose I'd ever seen before. :) As I mentioned above on your talk page, it was highly convincing. In fact, my RfA was even more "unique" (if that's an appropriate word to use) in the fact that it had three very long opposes. I've never seen that before. As for Rleve's oppose, (to me) you didn't seem impressed by it; but maybe I interpreted you incorrectly. Sorry about that. :) Acalamari 18:34, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Not at all, I think that your assessment of the situation at WP:RPP was perfectly appropriate (and probably more level-headed and impersonal than my initial action). It's not a big deal, if Qxz is no longer editing then there shouldn't even be an issue with the talk page. Thanks for the note ˉˉanetode╦╩ 06:42, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello , I'm not asking you to change your vote but I would like to explain that this is actually not meant as a bait: User:Anynobody#Perhaps not the best way to ask for personal information. I've kept his name off and the mention of an organization which I don't think he is a part of but could none the less identify him and expressly stated it isn't meant to be ridicule, but an example of what not to do. Please believe me when I say if I wanted to ridicule him, I would have left his name and the OSA reference in the quote. Also, and this is perhaps the most ironic part, he's actually trying to make sure people know it's his quote whereas I wasn't.
Again please don't consider this an effort to change your vote, but please do assume good faith on my part. Anynobody 08:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure if your comment on WP:ANI meant that you think I'm trying to teach Justanother a lesson, or the community in general? I was trying to teach other editors that a WP:PA is a good indicator of another editor becoming frustrated he/she can't argue with whatever point you (as the receiver of the PA) made just before.
Isn't it all of our jobs to teach new editors by sharing experience? Please correct me if I'm wrong, Anynobody 08:00, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your support in my recent successful RfA. --Anthony.bradbury 17:39, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, as you voted oppose on my last RfA (back in November) due to the fact that I didn't have enough experience (which, with hindsight, you were right about), I wondered if you could advise me as to whether you now think I am ready for a second RfA. My editcount is now over 3700 (and I expect to reach 4000 by the end of the month), I am an active participant in XfDs and vandal-fighting (mainly RC patrol), and I've also done several substantial article rewrites, including Politics which is now listed as a GA. So would you be prepared to vote Support if I go to RfA later this month? Walton Vivat Regina! 19:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sarah. You deleted my article for copyright violation. Well i just wanted to say that I go to St. Clements and know the principal and she gave me permission to create an article. So can I create it? Also take note that I'm not so good at editing Wikipedia. James000 11:10, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for keeping an eye on that guy. I have no clue where the hell he's pulling those numbers from other than out of thin air.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 08:21, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
No prob, glad that I could help out. Thanks a lot for the Barnstar. Take care and have a great week! --Ann Stouter 18:22, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the tip. I am pretty new to this and I need all the help I can get. BTW how do I meet new members? I am finding it hard to get 'out there' :-) Thanks Harrison Bass - HB4026 04:48, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Greetings Sarah, having caught sight of the message you've just left for this user you should be aware that much of his editing is very problematic as it incessantly consists an anti-Islam/Muslim SOAPboxing reliant upon his own original research. As well he created an article entitled autosodomy that was entirely original research and proceeded to inappropriately link it to Yoga related articles (witness his latest similarly themed edits). The time is drawing near (if it hasn't already arrived) that this editor should be community banned due to his continue problematic editing on the project. Thanks for taking the initiative to curtail this users disruptive behavior. (→Netscott) 07:57, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I've been having problems with my computer as well, so I empathise. :) You're right about my editcount - I was only making a few edits a month till December, when I decided to become a more regular contributor, hence the vast majority of my edits have been in the last few months. Anyway, thanks for your advice and I look forward eagerly to further feedback. Happy Easter. Walton Vivat Regina! 14:26, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I would like to thank you for suggesting the 'adoption' idea, and wish you a Happy Easter yourself! It also seems that you are the first one to realise that I am a high school student:) I hope that we will be in contact well into the future. ThanksHarrison- HB4026 00:16, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I saw this award and I thought it was perfect for you and User:VirtualSteve and I would like to award both of you with it.
Happy Easter to you too Sarah. Thank you for your positive message and thoughts. I have responded at that part of my talk page. --VS talk 21:56, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks Sarah. I have had a great Easter - lot's of good healthy chocolate:-D Thanks for picking up on my WP:AIV work on the side - and yes I will post also to there to get the appropriate skills and composite recognition. I would be pleased if you let me know when you think I am ready - in fact when you do think that then please feel free to nominate solo or with Mr Longhair and I will be proud to accept formally. I am in absolutely no rush and I am enjoying my standard editing way enough to continue and continue and continue. Thank you again.--VS talk 10:38, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Good to know you've been watching me for some time. I'm flattered. You studied journalism? Cool. I did media and politics.
I think that in time, like most editors I've crossed, you'll find me to be generally reasonable beneath the brusque exterior. Happy editing. Joestella 04:45, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Looks like a comment from one of the people I've told to "calm down" when they were in fact calm. I agree, few things are more irritating. Suggestions for me, even from those who can't bring themselves to log in before making them, are always welcome at my talk page, a better forum than Sarah's. Joestella 13:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Maybe another extension with autoblock? He is really testing my patience.... --KZTalk• Contribs 11:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
User:Blandneutrality is another sock of David which needs to be blocked. (I have posted this on User:Orderinchaos's talk as well)
P.S. (User:Gnangarra detected the other David's sock User:Gifir2007 and indef-blocked it.) --Aminz 03:32, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Another possible sock of David. Account created only to revert to DavidYork's puppet versions. --Aminz 08:00, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Sarah.
Please take a look at the contribution of this user(3 contributions by the time I make this report) .
The first contribution says: Throw some of the appalling crime data and figures into the article.
Second contribution says: Van Helsing - Killed vampires and other creatures of the night while on tour
Third contribution says:by way of the sword, Muhammad had succeeded in bringing the Arabian peninsula under the banner of Islam.
These all follow the pattern of David's previous edits. --Aminz 08:52, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Sarah,
David is gaming the system. He has made 7 (detected) socks so far and 3 (detected) IPs. He seems to be playing with us and has shown zero respect for wikipedia policies. I think it is appropriate to indef-block him at this moment. He was given warnings of this for a couple of times before. Cheers, --Aminz 09:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Sarah. You can delete the other account(James000). I don't want it. Coz I don't like saying my real name on the internet. So I used my nickname. Cheers. P.S.-How did you no that was my old account??? Chicken7 12:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Lol. You can do what ever you want with the other account, i dont care really. I changed everything in my new account though. Chicken7 12:41, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. It's good what you did. Chicken7 12:48, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sarah,
Thanks --Aminz 20:01, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Sarah. Thanks for the barnstar. It's nice of you to notice me, as I don't think we've had much interaction. I did notice your kindness and your attempts to be fair to GordonWatts some time ago, and I was very impressed. Sorry I haven't answered you sooner, but I've been busy. I'm actually on holidays at the moment, with internet access in the hotel room, and I had quite a lot to do before leaving. It's really nice to have two editors thinking I'd be suitable as an administrator. I definitely would like to try, but I think I'd prefer to wait until May. I feel I have quite a good understanding of policy by now, but there's a lot to learn about tagging images, closing AfDs, etc., and I'd like to be sure I know how to do things properly. Thanks again. ElinorD (talk) 23:46, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
I just dont understand why all this has been dredged up again! I think I have a right to ask why all this has been dredged up again, because I've been a productive member of wikipedia since all that happened back several months ago. Why is it all coming up again? can you please tell me why I'm being accused of all these things again? obviously you're keeping a very close eye on me... may i ask how watched i am? also, can you please stop bringing up the past, not just you but that other editor as well. Please can't we just leave the past as the past. Can you please tell this other user to stop dredging up the past, obviously I'm the most hated person on wikipedia. --Paaerduag 03:29, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sarah,
Please take a look at . This IP is based in Sydney Australia and is interested in the "Islam and slavery" and "Islam and children" articles. --Aminz 08:48, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Sarah,
It is again most probably David. This user has only two edits which are basically personal attacks: , . --Aminz 10:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't know why all this has happened, I'm just as confused as the next person. I didn't mean any personal offense, and I think I have a right to be left in peace and not harassed about the past, which NOT you, but that other editor, is guilty of. I'm not accusing you of anything. By the way, I have repeatedly asked that other editor who started this whole thing why he was doing it, and I have not received a proper response as of yet. --Paaerduag 10:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
I just wanted to see if you or another administrator could Update the progress for Wikiproject Melbourne. Because its's annoying how it's not up to date. So if you could please do that if possible. Chicken7 13:21, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I hope it gets updated soon. And by the way I'm happy with my taste in football teams. GO PIES!! Chicken7 06:46, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Can I please come to you with a direct request? I've been trying to clear up one (a little more unusual) speedy delete which refers to these two articles User:Verisimilus/Ediacara and Ediacaran biota. The original author Verisimilus used the first page as a sandbox and each time he adjusted he transferred material over to the actual article. The sandbox article needs a history merge and then deletion I believe. I have spoken to him and he has deleted content at the sandbox version and placed a request on that page for history merge to occur.--VS talk 22:40, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I am just wondering whether I'll be targetted if I try to reach a new consensus for the placement of the sexual abuse section further towards the top of the bgs page. It is a historical event, and I think it belongs in history, but I also know that just about everyone on the bgs page hates me and wants me to be blocked. I guess I just want to know whether I should even bother trying, and whether you'll take action because i may edit on the page again. My main focus is not that article, but I still find it slightly ridiculous that the sexual abuse section is at the very bottom. rather blatant... anyway, just tell me whether i'll be targetted and blocked. that's all I want to know. --Paaerduag 11:17, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Sarah why did you revert my edit of Melbourne! A simple check of the web or wikipedia will confirm that mercedes college was established in 1846 making the statement incorrect. Unless you can provide evidence other than a link to the school website then I will remove it again.
It seems that all schools like to claim being the oldest something. I have found some ten schools that claim to be the oldest in Australia in some way often with great contradictions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cmurphy au (talk • contribs) 11:51, 22 April 2007 (UTC).
Looking at this troll's history, it might be a good idea to report him to his ISP as well. If I'm not mistaken, a lot of what he's done would violate his ISP's TOS as well. I could be wrong here--most American ISPs require you to abide by the policies of third-party sites as well. Anything to pull the thread from his socks ...Blueboy96 03:11, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
ok... i just brought it up with you because I do feel like a lot of editors don't like me (maybe rightly so back then, but I have changed). Anyway, I appreciate your honest and thoughtful answer. --Paaerduag 07:17, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Sarah thankyou for your response - I apologise for not noticing the distinction between girls primary and secondary - it clearly does belong there in that case. I also apologise for my oversight in not signing my comment. Cmurphy au 09:00, 23 April 2007 (UTC) PS: one reason that I missed your reference to be the oldest girls Primary school was because the school website (and indeed your earlier edit) that you link to as evidence for your statement falsely claims that Ormiston is the oldest girls school on the mainland. This highlights why school websites should be used with care. I have found many schools that make claims like this on their websites which are incorrect. For example: The Kings School often claims to be the oldest school in Australia - it isn't. Launceston Church Grammar School claims to be the oldest continuously operating school - it isnt. Cmurphy au 09:23, 23 April 2007 (UTC) PPS: thanks for your message! I know what night shift nursing can do to a person! My partner is a former DON and is a nurse educator :-). May I ask what your interest in education is - or were your changes just because you were administrating. I only became involved because the article on Scotch College (and yes its website too!) claims its the oldest school in victoria and I knew that was wrong because my children went to St Mary's and its started on its present site 10 years before Scotch was founded. I have since found multitude of similar claims and mistakes not just on wikipedia but on school websites. I even visited a school in NSW that has a big plaque out the front saying its the oldest catholic school in australia the only problem being that three other schools started 10 years before it. Cmurphy au 09:32, 23 April 2007 (UTC) I'll leave it in - I think it fits ok and having the oldest irls primary school reinforces the message of mebourne having a long tradition in education. I agree with you about the bullying thing by the way my daughter has just moved schools crossing the road from the actual oldest school in victoria to the heritage listed one that claims to be the oldest school in Williamstown. But not because of their false claims but because they introduced ani-bullying programs that have been taken up across the naion like buddy bears and their "Willy kids are friendly kids" program.

Hey Sarah, I'm having some problems monitoring my Wikipedia Page.
SSohioboy or whoever that is, and many others are still posting PRO pedophilia links and attacking me.
This is unacceptable.
I apriciate the help.

Happy Anzac Day Sarah!! Chicken7 05:45, 25 April 2007 (UTC) PS:Collingwood is playing Essendon today and last time I checked they were winning.
Wow! I was just about to message you to say the same thing! Weird. Thanx. By the way, how do you make infoboxes? Chicken7 07:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Sarah, sorry just came back online. Thanks for the prompt on categories showing - I found them (part of a message earlier on that I have delinked to remove the listing). In terms of your prompt on Barricade Books. My opinions include (1) Notability is only just (but hardly if at all) established by the second paragraph which refers to the "Neo-Nazis" - the first bit about the police charging an employee for selling obscene material is nothing at all in its present format - BUT that said there is no direct citation to allow for verification of the material - other than the general reference link here which whilst mentioning the act seems far too close to the source, (2) The last link in the body content is spam, (3) The second link under References is exactly the same link and is not a reference per se`. All in all it does not belong on Wikipedia in its present form because it does not pass WP:NN and it appears to be a possible speedy under db:spam or advert. At the very least a <prod>. In fact I would have dealt with the article at the same time as answering your question but not sure if you have another plan?--VS talk 10:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
hey, where do u get those box things for ur user page? like "this user is a native speaker of english" etc etc. oh, and for the record, lions >> hawks. Just thought id let you know :) Kiran90 00:13, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Dear Sarah, you rv someting on POV grounds and lost the baby with the bathwater - i.e. a whole load of factual stuff, important to contextualising this important controversy, was undone. It can only be the Humphries stuff that's bordering on POV, and then, only because I haven't referenced it yet - please, don't do this. If the Humphries stuff annoys you so much, then just delete that. the other stuff is not POV. The only kind of person who would argue that Government policy is 'POV' and irrelevant is someone who deeply engaged in the local resistance with a specific perspective related to a vested interest, however genuine and heartfelt that is.

Hey again, I've uploaded some photos of Bulleen Plaza and I'm going to upload more photos of Sovereign Hill now. I've just cut my finger with a bottletop accidentally and blood's everywhere. It'll heal though. I hope you have a good weekend too. Cheers! :D Chicken7 08:49, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Sarah, I noticed that User: Chicken7 knew both Steve and you and that he is only a little younger than me. I am trying to make some more Wikifriends and I left him a message. It would be nice to know some other people :) Harrison-HB4026 09:08, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sarah. You have to hear this (it is better if you actually play it). Harrison-HB4026 12:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your message regarding daddy kindsoul. HE/SHE has been vandalizing MY bands wikipedia page...which, by the way, I didn't create. Daddy Kindsoul has been stating facts regarding our upcoming record release that are POV, subjective and/or not correct. I suspect he/she has some kind of grudge against my band or thinks something else is going on, but I would just like him/her to stop.
Thanks again for your wonderful site and much luck in the future.
Always, Realsynical
Sarah,
Thanks for your assistance and for the links. They were greatly appreciated.
