WikiSex
I saw you deleted a page, so you must be a sysop! Please un-delete my WikiSex page. It was deleted without community consensus by Dori. She said it wasn't encyclopedic but I can't undestand how WikiChess is allowed and WikiSex isn't. There isn't any policy saying Wikipedians can't have virtual sex with one another. Please be consistent with your policies and either delete or allow both chess and sex on the wiki. Regards, I am sexy 21:21, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Did you miss the trolls are banned from this page message? Please don't troll me. I have no intention of wasting my time explaining why wikisex is not encyclopædic. Angela. 21:25, Apr 6, 2004 (UTC)
- Go away; didn't you read Angela's troll warning above? Dori, by the way, is a man. As with most communities, Wikipedia offers a certain amount of indulgence for MeatBall:VestedContributors, and you're not one. UninvitedCompany 21:27, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I'm Sorry about my mistake on Dori's gender. Angela: I am not a troll! I created Virtual sex to show you I want to be useful and contribute real articles. I just want to have sex online on the wiki, like other people play chess. Why chess is ok and sex isn't? I am sexy 21:28, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- If you want to make a point about chess, please state your point, don't prove it. Angela.
- Well, let's assume good faith and pretend the user is honest in their motivations; in that case, the rule does not apply, because she doesn't want to state a point, she wants to have cybersex. Legal concerns notwithstanding, the argument about wikichess is legitimate. Nor would I agree with deleting the userpage because it is offensive, because we've kept quite a few offensive userpages around (e.g. User:Paektu). I'd say start a VfD on the page and/or the chess subpages, do not instant-delete it.
Yes, I remember Erik was the person who tried to prevent people from playing chess. Lirath Q. Pynnor
Not understanding you
I added a log archive to Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit; I didn't remove any. Your revert removed it. So I'm not sure what the problem is. If there's something I don't understand, please let me know. --Michael Snow 22:50, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Apology appreciated, but not required. I probably should have included an edit summary in the other case; I tend to be lazy about them, because I rely more on diffs myself and don't always like to trust other people's edit summaries, since they may be self-serving. --Michael Snow 23:03, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Archiving the Village pump
I figured you might appreciate being appreciated for your hard work, so I just thought I'd drop by and say that I appreciate your hard work. "I appreciate your hard work." There, said it ;-). It's people like you that make sites like this usable! - IMSoP 00:49, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Mega dittos, er, me too, er, what IMSop said. :) --mav 00:57, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)
M-m-m-max ditto! For archiving many other pages, as well. Wikiwealth is flesh and blood -- yours, specifically. (: Great new photo up top, and thanks for the note- +sj+ 06:19, 2004 Apr 8 (UTC)
Jerusalem
Hi Angela. Thank you for your kind words and sound advice on my Talk page. I want to assure you that I do not hold a grudge against you or anyone else who voted against me on the quickpoll. I've followed some of your work here (specifically, on VfD), and I respect and admire your good work and dedication to the project.
The last couple of weeks have been quite stressful for me. I spent a lot of time and energy on the Jerusaelm issue, and I feel that I have achieved very little. This obviously led to a feeling of frustration. Even before reading your message, I decided to take some time (perhaps a few days) to cool off, see how things develop with Jerusalem, and make a decision on whether I want to continue working on Wikipedia, or take a longer break. (I'm not fishing for "please don't leave" here. Really.) If I decide to stay (and perhaps even if not), I'll probably follow your advice and create a summary of my position on the "Jerusalem as capital" issue, which I can then direct people to. I do not want to spend the rest of my life (or even the rest of my time on Wikipedia) arguing this issue. There are many other areas here badly needing attention.
Once again, thanks for you note, and goodbye for now -- uriber 08:49, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)
The medical staff
Hi Angela. Recently I've been contacting the several doctors on Wikipedia, and I'm trying to breathe some life into the medical Wikiproject. See also my WikiDoc page and the talk page fluff it generated.
In regard to the above, I've got some questions that you might be able to answer:
- How do I arrange for those nice "blue boxes" at the bottom of a collection of pages? They're {{msg boilerplate implements, but I'm not sure who's got control over these messages.
- Are you aware of any medically grounded sysops around Wikipedia?
- Might there be a case for one of us (not me!!!) achieving adminship for this effort?

- Hi again, thanks for your pointers in the right direction! I wasn't even aware of the List by fields of interest page! I'll try to involve the others mentioned there. JFW | T@lk 01:30, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
