Sorry but I don't understand what you're trying to say :-S Anna Lincoln 08:55, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

It would appear, then, that we have reached an impasse, a failure to communicate. I think you're coming on to me, but I can't be sure. You seem like a strong silent type, but I'm a libra and I like loud, ebullient, outgoing types. I'm not sure this romance is going to work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.168.234 (talk) 09:01, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey, how did you notice that in fact I was coming on to you? Wow, a romance made up by two one-line messages! You're a real Casanova. Anna Lincoln 09:08, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm not Spanish lol. Also, subtext: thou must comprehend it.

Quick question: do you know anything about the Occupation of the Ruhr? I've wanted my Ruhr end occupied for a while now but can't find any information on how others have don it in the past. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.168.234 (talk) 09:10, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Take a look at Occupation of the Ruhr. I know nothing about it. Anna Lincoln 09:15, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Of course I'm re... System error: file not found. Anna Lincoln 09:59, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Well played, Anna Lincoln. Or should I call you T-900? I understand where we are. This round belongs to you and your perfectly manicured language and your inability to emote and express yourself beyond terse, 1-2 lines bursts. Where oh where are the multi-lined salvos rife with emotion and the deep, often perverse depths of the human spirit? Where are the lies we tell ourselves daily in an attempt to dilute the stench of decay that wafts about our every move and minute? Where are the sweet attempts to ward of the darkness for just a moment longer? How shall I find you if I need you??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.168.234 (talk) 10:03, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

And yes, the depths are indeed deep. Not too be confused with Depp. But sometimes in their perversity the deep depths are Depp as well. Isn't that adept? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.168.234 (talk) 10:09, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Oh, how poetic :-O It's difficult for me to write long paragraphs with rich vocabulary because my English is far from perfect, and I must examine each sentence I write.

BTW, Mr. Shakespeare, why don't you create an account here? It's free and requires no personal information, and it helps others identify you and have your messages and contributions grouped. C'mon do it ya! Anna Lincoln 10:11, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

You really are quite the nice person though, your kindness in an internet age of complete savagery and in spite of my shenanigans is quite admirable. Stay saintly, Anna Lincoln. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.168.234 (talk) 10:14, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

		You've been giving me the runaround at AIV this morning and I see you had a userpage vandal earlier so you must be doing something right! Keep it up, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 09:18, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Btw, if you want your userpage protected, I can do that for you. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 09:18, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the star :-) Yes, I am fighting vandalism today. Well, I think my user page does not get vandalized very often, so I guess I don't need semiprotection, but thanks anyway... Anna Lincoln 09:21, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Well keep up the good work. I just blocked another vandal you'd warned earlier! Let me know if you need anything. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 09:40, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Why was that inappropriate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ykhogaly (talk • contribs) 09:57, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

In general, YouTube links are not appropriate for this encyclopedia. For more information read WP:SPAM and WP:YOUTUBE. Anna Lincoln 10:04, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello Anna,

Would you please care to explain why did you consider the link to Al turabi's interview on which he confirmed Sudan’s involvement in the assignation attempt as inappropriate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ykhogaly (talk • contribs) 10:04, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

I have reviewed my removals and, well, altough a written source would be better because it can better be verified, the video you are linking does not, in my opinion, violate policy, therefore I will not remove its inclusion again if you add it to the article. But beware that other editors may remove it and you would have to discuss with them. Can't you find a reliable written source instead? Regards, Anna Lincoln 10:09, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you Anna and I appreciate your understanding. I do acknowledge that the interview is in Arabic but I assure you 100% that it is exactly what I say. It is the only place where anyone acknowledged or admitted to Sudan’s involvement in the assassination attempt on Mubarak.

Al Turabi attempted to disassociate himself “in his typical cowardly fashion” and implicated various other members of the government of Sudan. What is so critical is that he confirmed that the planning, funding, training all took place in Sudan. I am not aware that such a statement was made publically available before. Sudan’s position to this day remains that of complete denial of any involvement.

As Arabic is one of eight languages I am fluent in, I will work in the near future and produce an English transcript of the interview.

I'm redirecting the SPI case to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Zealking and adding the socks there. You just stumbled upon a very persistent and vicious vandal there :) –MuZemike 15:43, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey, thanks. I suspected he might have created other accounts previous to these two I reported. Regards :-) Anna Lincoln 15:54, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Anna, I got a message on my talk page from you regarding my edit to Safe injection site. Cluebot has been picking up my recent edits to the article by accident (I believe). There is a lot of talk between me and a few other editors about this page, and we seeking to resolve it through a few channels. including Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts#Consensus.2C_Cooperation_.26_Civility. I've reverted the most recent changes by Minphie because they have not included any justification for their reverts. If you feel the need to revert the article further, please contact me so we can work out how do work this out. --Figs Might Ply (talk) 14:40, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, I was unaware of that. Best wishes, Anna Lincoln 14:42, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

No worries, keep the dream alive! --Figs Might Ply (talk) 14:55, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

:-) Anna Lincoln 14:56, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

As I already stated in my response to the cluebot, the edit I made was constructive. The quote by which paul pierce got his nickname "the truth" does include profanity and in its now reverted form it is innacurrate. This isn't vandalism. My experience on wikipedia is that in general it appears that profanity is not censored unless it has no relevancy. Since this is a direct quote regarding the well known nickname of a well known athlete I believe that an accurate quote is relevant.

Sourcing (which I included in my edit):http://www.huffingtonpost.com/miles-mogulescu/paul-pierce-is-the-best-b_b_107852.html

Other sources which quote differently do so because of policies they have regarding profanity (i.e. major news outlets that avoid/censor its use) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.180.10.50 (talk) 17:15, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I'm sorry, I gazed the expletive and quickly reverted your edit, I see now its use was legitimate. All the best, Anna Lincoln 14:43, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Though page blanking is usually vandalism which needs to be reverted, it is worth looking first at the page history, because quite often the author has blanked his own page, as with Steve Shaw (Film & Post-Production) just now. In those cases it should be tagged {{db-author}} or {{db-g7}}. It can be confusing for an author who realises his page is inappropriate and blanks it, if it is at once restored and he is accused of vandalism for the blanking and told it was unconstructive. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:54, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey, ignore the above, browsing your fascinating talk page I see you're aware of the problem, so I'm sure it was an accident. Did you get any response to your request for a bot to tag author-blankings? It would certainly be useful, though it would have to be quite an intelligent bot if it was going to cope with cases where other editors had made non-substantial edits. The commonest case, I guess, is author makes several edits, someone else adds a db tag, author blanks. A bot should be able to recognise that. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:09, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder, it's clear that an editor should not be warned for removing an article he created. I was too quick hitting the Huggle revert button.

I asked for a bot to tag page blankings by creator at the BON, and they told me that one bot was already doing that job, User:SDPatrolBot. The problem is that sometimes the bot is down and that it is not very fast, so it takes some time between the page blanking and the bot tagging. See you, Anna Lincoln 14:44, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Ah! Maybe that explains an annoying fact that I had wondered about. Sometimes if I try to revert a page blanking using Huggle, it gives me a warning that the user was the creator of the page, and asks me if I want to tag it for speedy deletion instead, but very often it just does the reversion and warns the user. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:39, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I don't often run SDPatrolBot these days (bandwidth, slows down computer, don't like having my precious netbook running 24/7 etc etc ;D), but I should note that it only tags for g7 if the page was also tagged for some kind of speedy deletion (prior to the blanking). There are a couple of other bots which tag for G7 if the author has blanked and is the only editor, but again, these don't run very often. As for the problem with Huggle not always warning about the "blanker" being the creator, that's simply a problem with Huggle, I recall having the same issue a number of times. - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 21:09, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Plutonium27 (talk) has given you a kitten! Kittens promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Kittens must be fed three times a day and will be your faithful companion forever! Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a kitten, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.

Spread the goodness of kittens by adding {{subst:Kitten}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message!

You and your good work are appreciated.

Thanks very much for the present, I love kittens so much! I'll care for it :-) In real life I don't have any pets, but I would like to. It's very kind that you appreciate my work here. Best wishes, Anna Lincoln 07:29, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

You are simply ignorant of the historical reality as documented. The text you have up presently is pure myth, unsupported by fact. See exhibits and supporting documents filed with americancivilwar.com and Who wrote the Lost Order? Not Chilton.

Ok, I will not revert you any more in relation to this, but please fill in the edit summary when removing content for articles, otherwise it might seem vandalism. Cheers, Anna Lincoln 16:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

i gave you something very constucustive

No, you didn't Anna Lincoln 16:19, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Oatcakes are so cool they do not need an article. P.s You shout change your name to Anna Oatcakes!

Nope, he's a cool guy! Anna Lincoln 16:34, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Have you met him yet? Also asking can I change a bit of the article cheese? I have noticed some big mistakes.

Not personally, but I've read his conversations at User talk:Jimbo Wales. To change the article on cheese, first reach an agreement with other users at Talk:Cheese. All the best, Anna Lincoln 16:38, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Do you have an opinion on cheese? I do. I also think that all newspapers and cheese should be free to Over 70's. I am 79!

Not really any opinion. Then you are up to date using new technologies such as internet despite your age. Great. Anna Lincoln 16:43, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

of semi-protecting your user page. The amount of vandalism that thing attracts from IP's is unbelievable. Just let me know if you'd rather not have the semi-protection in place. (And, of course, this talk page remains open to all. While we don't semi-protect talk pages much, I think it is even more important to leave them open in a Huggle user.) Courcelles (talk) 17:32, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for that. I considered doing so when HJ Mitchell first suggested it but I didn't take the decision. After a second suggestion by you I now believe it's the right thing to do. I agree with you that the talk page should remain open to everybody. Kind regards, Anna Lincoln 07:46, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Dear Anna Lincoln, These are real true facts. I would like it if you would stop vandalizing this good websites page. Sincerely Barak Obama

Sorry Mr. President, but what you have done is called vandalism. Sir, may I suggest you to donate some money to the Wikimedia Foundation? Pleased to meet you, Sir. Anna Lincoln 08:31, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Well, Anna May Lincoln, the fact of the matter is that America is in debt and we don't have the money to donate to sources not accepted by Sara V. Olds. This government isn't run by politicians, but by charter school faculty - specifically those with red-blond hair. Now, I'd like you to leave my edits because as President, I need to keep the peace and order among sites and articles. Speaking of articles, that job of mine listed there is in Article 2 Section 7 Sentence 4. Check it out.

Hello, Anna. I see you have reverted and warned at User talk:182.156.100.133, using Huggle. The same user has been vandalising the same article from several IP addresses, so I suggest if you see another example of it you should manually report to WP:AIV and request a range block. Unfortunately Huggle will just give a string of level 1 warnings to a string of different IP addresses as the user moves from one to another. I would keep an eye on the article for more vandalism myself, but I have to go now. (By the way, I like your handling of the presidential disruptive editing.) JamesBWatson (talk) 08:53, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I have requested temporary semi-protection, pointing out that a range block should be considered . I'll report to AIV if this continues. Lol, Anna Lincoln 09:07, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

It has now been semi-protected. I was more inclined to a range block, but either way it's done for now. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:19, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, that's it. All the best, Anna Lincoln 11:20, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Chef Daniel Kay is an alias for Chef Daniel Kaufman who is currently on Probation and awaiting further legal charges for stealing and conning numerous restaurants in the Boston and New York Area. He is a liar and con man and is currently charged with stealing more than $25,000.00 from credit cards from guests who patronized his establishments. Please check for accuracy and I hope this was helpful.

Adding the word "Bullshit" to the article won't help you build your case. You need to provide reliable sources that back your claims and then you can modify the article. Regards, Anna Lincoln 14:43, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Lggkfjh was spamming a YouTube link about Reel Bad Arabs on many sites related to the subject matter of the documentary, and I agree those were bad, but you removed the link to the documentary on the actual page for the documentary. Was this intentional? Blue Rasberry 15:05, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

No, it wasn't. I reverted myself. Thanks for the notice. Anna Lincoln 16:50, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello Anna. You are right of course. It was extremely juvenile and not at all constructive. I had a 13 year old moment and acted like a child. That being said, it gave me a momentary satisfaction, but I apologize for wasting your time. What I said about Him is true, and it is unfortunate that he is still out there stealing money from people, but I do not have the time to build a case or waste any resources on this awful person. You will not hear from me again. Sorry for the lash out. I'm sorry to have cause you the disturbance. Take care.

Hey, don't be so harsh with yourself, cheer up :-) We all have childish moments. You didn't really wasted my time, it took me a second to fix that. I do would like to hear more from you, I'd love to see you improve some article here. Do you know that some outstanding editors here made unconstructive edits in their beginnings? Anna Lincoln 16:58, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

How was my edit "unconstructive"? I was adding balance to a sub-section of an article, and used sources correctly and so on. Duckelf (talk) 19:43, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

The fact was not asserted directly by the source you cited, which instead refers to some publication by Philip Jenkins. You must cite exactly where did Jenkins say that. Anna Lincoln 19:52, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
