RfA thanks

Hi, PPG. So, day three of getting round to thanking everyone for their support at my RfA. Great turnout and a humbling level of support. But now, I must honour my word and crack on with the backlog. No doubt we will meet down at the AIV! Thanks again for your confidence. :) Bubba hotep 09:28, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

• Congrats BH! Can't wait to see you knock some backlogs on AIV :)!¤~Persian Poet Gal 00:53, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Question

Hey, I have a question for you! If I were to test the water with an RfA for myself, what would be the likely outcome? - Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 11:05, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

• Answered on your talk page.¤~Persian Poet Gal 00:53, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Can you delete my picture for me?

Image:Seas first invention.jpg can you help me please delete this? They asked that this picture be removed from the internet for now. Thanks (:O) -Nima Baghaei (talk) 20:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

• Since you are the original uploader and the image is now orphaned, I'll take care of it for you.¤~Persian Poet Gal 00:53, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Persian Poet Gal

I saw your user name and just had to leave a note. I know of only one other Persian Poet Gal, Susan Atefat-Peckham. I can't image there are many of you about. She was an aquaintance of mine back in college. She wrote That Kind of Sleep (2001), and I give away a copy to every Persian woman I meet. While I can't actually give you a copy, I can at least point you to it. I realize this now reads like spam. Sorry about that. Her book made a big impression on me, and your user name jumped out at me in a very ghostly way. Rklawton 01:41, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• I don't see it as spam at all! Looking over the Amazon profile makes it seem very enticing, seeing as it is a poetic work...my favorite kind as you can see :). I'd definitely like to check that one out sometime in the near future.¤~Persian Poet Gal 01:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not exactly a peotry fan in general (though I like poetry a lot more than I like opera), but I really like reading about the middle east and Persia, and Susan was able to capture a lot of the flavor. The fact that she wrote it in English and had a good understanding of what Americans would or wouldn't understand really helped. Rklawton 02:16, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Email

Cheers for the support you gave me on my talk page, I'm going to email you tomorrow anyway (sorry its 02:20 in the UK so I'm going to bed now!), hope your OK, regards Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 02:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Talkpage warning removals?

I've had a run-in with MrDarcy (MrDarcy) over reverting warning removals on User talk:Liist. MrDarcy says users have a right to remove warnings as "acknowledgment that they have read them." I80and, JRSpriggs, and I all agree that warnings should stay, or at least be archived to a visible page. What's your take? — Tuvok 02:20, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• I think I know why he may be blanking the page. It seems that this editor is now indefinitely blocked according to the block log. In such cases I believe it ok to remove the warnings to deny the vandal/troll recognition. If the vandal were still active I would believe it to be very inappropriate to remove the warnings (especially when it is not the user themself) and I would recommend archiving.¤~Persian Poet Gal 02:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• Checking his talk page's history, he is the one who blanked the page in question, which is what I initially reverted. MrDarcy reverted that, twice. (continuing discussion on my talk page) — Tuvok 02:29, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• Hmmm I see. As I said before, if the vandal were still active I would generally be very concerned if the warnings were blanked. However, since the user was indefinitely blocked, I think that it does not hurt for them to be removed. Remember to not feed trolls attention. Reverting a blanking of their talk page numerous times even when they are indefinitely blocked is unnecessary. I do value your good intentions though. Allow that vandal/troll to stomp along now.¤~Persian Poet Gal 02:34, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• If I may be of any help here: users must not blank warnings from their talk pages, even if they've been indefinitely blocked. Users who have continually blanked their talk pages have had their talk pages fully protected. Acalamari 02:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I've copied your post to my talk page. Hope that's cool, — Tuvok 02:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I think blanking should be allowed in minor Circumstance such as the warning is atleast 6 months old and that the user was never blocked meaning that if the user had been blocked in the last six months he cannot blank his page but if he has recieved warnings for vandalising certain pages but no final ultimatum(only or last warning) then the user may blank the pages but all of these shouldnt apply to IP Addresses but only to logged in users..--Cometstyles 10:38, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick vandalism stoppage

I greatly thank you for reverting the vandalism on my main userpage. You were fast and took action before I even hit the undo button myself. MrMacMan 02:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• No problem ;). I'll watchlist your page for awhile.¤~Persian Poet Gal 17:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Revert.

Finally, I got to do something for you: I reverted vandalism from your userpage and updated your vandal count. Of course, I'm not advocating vandalism to you just so I can get my edit count up. :) Acalamari 18:09, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• Speaking of edit counts, because of those two edits I did, you appear here. Acalamari 18:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user page. I just had to revert that vandal on his own talk page again. I am monitoring your user page at the moment. Acalamari 19:20, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• No problem. If he continues to vandalize I will block. For now, just let the talk page be and revert only to place new warnings for new vandalism. Keep up the good work.¤~Persian Poet Gal 19:21, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• Trouble is, he's more than four days old: he got through the semi-protection on my user page. Oh well, some vandals are clever enough to last that long. Acalamari 19:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• Remember the longer they vandalize, the harder they fall :P...¤~Persian Poet Gal 19:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

For the talk page revert! Appreciate it :) - Alison 19:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• No problem!¤~Persian Poet Gal 19:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
• :) BTW, could I possibly steal appropriate "borrow" your status message code, please? It's cool! I've already got a userbox but would like to ditch that in favour of the icon placement scheme - Alison 20:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• Sure you may! If you want to have the scheme work with your current status changer then edit the User:Persian Poet Gal/Status portion with your own. If you do not have a status changer page, replace that portion with text of whether you are online or offline. If you want to create a status changer page manually do so by placing the online or offline text on a page called User:Ali-oops/Status or you can follow the directions here to implement an automatic status changer. Feel free to ask me any questions if you are having trouble!¤~Persian Poet Gal 20:11, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you so much for the help. I'm not lost anymore, and I made my first fried in Misplaced Pages!

-Justin Werden 20:09, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• Glad to hear that! Enjoy Misplaced Pages.¤~Persian Poet Gal 20:13, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Your predicted outcome of my hypothetical RfA

I know that predicting the outcome of an RfA is like predicting the weather, but could you give me a forecast ?  ~Steptrip 23:12, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Your online status thingy

Hi again, I was really impressed by that thing you have on the top-right of your userpage that displays your online status and I would like to have something similar on my userpage. Is there a page that explains how to do it? I tried to look and couldn't find one so I would appreciate your help. Please respond on my talk-page.

No hurry though, as you're on a wikibreak. Good luck with those scholarship applications anyway! :-) Ekantik 16:31, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Quebec

Hi Persian Poet Gal...

Could you please keep an eye on User_talk:Railer123. He has completely deleted the Quebec page 3-4 times already today alone.
