User talk:Kyoko/Archive11

My talk page / ma page de discussion / 私 の 会話ページ I'm too busy with offline stuff to do much here. Welcome to my talk page! Archives January 2006 - July 2006 August 2006 - 18 September 2006 19 September 2006 - 15 October 2006 16 October 2006 - 29 October 2006 29 October 2006 - 4 November 2006 5 November 2006 - 14 November 2006 15 November 2006 - 2 December 2006 3 December 2006 - 20 December 2006 20 December 2006 - 18 January 2007 19 January 2007 - 3 March 2007 Please follow these guidelines for my talk page: 1. Please be civil and respect that this is my talk page. That means avoiding excessive images (barnstars and smileys are fine, within reason), not treating my talk page as your personal chat room, and not altering your comments post facto. 2. Please sign your messages by typing ~~~~ or by using the edit toolbar. The automated signature button is the one to the right of the crossed out "W". Please understand if I do not respond immediately. Also please be understanding if I do not answer your message in the order that it was received, or if I do not answer your message at all. I just don't have the time or energy to respond to everyone, so please accept my apologies if your message goes unanswered. I will ordinarily answer on your talk page, unless requested to do otherwise. Thank you! —Kyoko The Novels WikiProject Newsletter: Issue X - March 2007 The March 2007 issue of the Novels WikiProject newsletter has been published.

This is an automated delivery by grafikbot 20:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC) Subst'ing sig Hmm? My sig isn't copied or transcluded... Oh, unless you're referring to old ones. My sig was set up for a bit so it would just make a transclusion like so {{User:Editor at Large/sig}} when I signed ~~~~, which would show up as my signature; I wasn't adding the template intentionally. It doesn't do that anymore, never fear :-) — Editor at Large(speak) 22:33, 13 March 2007 (UTC) To my friend There are a thousand reasons I could leave this place A thousand things I need not in life A thousand stresses I must flee A thousand woes to make me quit this race You are one of the few that light up the gray Darkness of arguments and sorrow Lonely nights and lost friends A lovely ray of sunlight into my day You are braver than I could ever be in your shoes Defying pain, death, and loss Smiling gently in the face of God You are gentle poet, smiling friend, and brave muse I will always be there, my friend. Don't let your fire burn out. Defy everything. And know that I'm okay, that I am not alone, and that I will be in touch. *thousands of hugs* --ElaragirlTalk|Count 02:18, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Hello :) I got your email. And I'm following what you said. I hope you're doing relatively well. Will (Speak to Me/Breathe)(Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash) 08:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC) They're all intertwined, the four things on my talk. The not well part is more mental instead of physical. It doesn't help that the teachers are making the harassment worse by inciting it. Please, though, don't worry over me. Will (Speak to Me/Breathe)(Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash) 20:35, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Disambiguation pages When you create a disambiguation page, such as CFTR, please mark it with a {{disambig}} at the bottom. This will allow the Wikipedia software to recognize it as a disambiguation page. Eli Falk 14:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Account names Actually, it just transfers it over to your new name. See? :) – riana_dzasta 03:05, 15 March 2007 (UTC) No, the crats do everything automagically. Even your watchlist :) – riana_dzasta 03:12, 15 March 2007 (UTC) Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Happy St. Patrick's Day! May your blessings outnumber The shamrocks that grow, And may trouble avoid you Wherever you go. —an Irish blessing     —  $PЯINGrαgђ  William Oefelein Thanks so much for having a look and doing something about it. Gwen Gale 03:06, 18 March 2007 (UTC) Tam Lin (novel) Comment copied here from my talk page to make sure you see it: No apology necessary. Wikipedia is a co-operative enterprise. If that section is expanded, and it should be, then that link should definitely go in as part of a more specific discussion of particular quotations and allusions. :-) Random Passer-by 13:46, 18 March 2007 (UTC) Lanval You've been doing a great job by the way. The bulleted format is fine for (embedded) lists, in cases where those are appropriate, but generally prose is preferable. In this case I don't think the allusions are really a list, but rather a discussion of content, and as such prose works much better. Otherwise I think your format is working fine so far.--Cúchullain t/c 21:42, 18 March 2007 (UTC) Double dashes Yeah I didn't know that about the sig button until someone told me after I posted that. Still, two-word usernames, empty userpages, same bolding pattern, overlapping contribution histories, all three with the same PoV at Lisa Nowak/Oefelein and all using the signature button, taken together tends to mean something. Meanwhile, thanks for your thoughts on the article, I agree with your reasoning (at least, I strongly agree that's one way to get there under WP policy and a bit of heed). Gwen Gale 14:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC) Hey and thanks again for your so thoughtful and helpful look at "however." :) Gwen Gale 18:57, 19 March 2007 (UTC) Re: cat-0 changes Thanks for the barnstar. Mike Dillon 03:56, 22 March 2007 (UTC) No Problem Thank you for sending me a note! You're wonderful! R&J is on my watchlist and I hate when the vandals strike. v/r Peter Rimar Chitrapa 02:35, 24 March 2007 (UTC) Orlando Hi. I hope you didn't mind me editing away your plot summary on Orlando furioso. I just thought I'd provide a simple outline of the main plot threads first. It can be expanded later, although recording every incident in the poem would be a nightmare and no doubt counterproductive. Cheers. --Folantin 16:47, 24 March 2007 (UTC) Edit Summary. To address your concern, that summary was not meant as a way of showing discouragement or displeasure; I was simply stating that I was surprised I was still getting supports and neutrals when a load of opposes had just come through not long beforehand. :) I hope that clears why I left that summary. Acalamari 22:44, 25 March 2007 (UTC) As for learning from the opposes, I did put at the top of the RfA that I would treat the entire thing as a large-scale editor review if it was unsuccessful. I believe that treating it as a large-scale editor review is better than considering the RfA a "loss and a waste", as my RfA is not a loss or a waste. Acalamari 22:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC) I responded with: I thank you for understanding. :) Acalamari 16:24, 26 March 2007 (UTC) I would also like to add that the summary was also meant to be humorous. I try to be a little creative with my edit summaries...within limits of course: I make sure they at least say what I've done in an edit. :) Acalamari 17:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC) I should probably point out that humour in edit summaries doesn't always come through, as I've told another person recently. I'm not singling you out, but how effective humour is depends on a lot of factors, including how awake the reader is. Since I'm here, I also want to say that it's a sign of maturity on your part to treat your RfA as a large scale editor review of sorts. If this RfA doesn't end up succeeding, please address the various concerns and consider running again in the future. --Kyoko Indeed; it's best to use neutral edit summaries. As for the issues on my RfA; instead of waiting until the RfA ends to begin addressing them; I'm working on them now. I think it's best to deal with them the moment they are brought up on the RfA as opposed to waiting until the end. Acalamari 19:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC) I don't know what to say >_> I did send you an email, but it's probably going to cause you distress, and I'm really sorry for it (as I've already said in a second email). Good luck, Will 01:22, 27 March 2007 (UTC) As I said, I'm really really sorry. Get better soon. Will 19:16, 27 March 2007 (UTC) Username change problems. Hey, I noticed you're having problems with your username change (that is, your user and talk pages being redirected to Kyoko (usurped) (talk · contribs). I think you should ask an admin to move your pages over and merge histories. Will 15:47, 31 March 2007 (UTC) Seems fixed! :) – Riana talk 16:22, 31 March 2007 (UTC) Btw, you have mail. Cheers, – Riana talk 16:40, 31 March 2007 (UTC) No need to put a rush on the reply, I'm off to bed :) Take care, – Riana talk 16:56, 31 March 2007 (UTC) It's only because I have your user page on watchlist. Otherwise, I would've not noticed :) Will 17:05, 31 March 2007 (UTC) Re:Usurpation question The problem was that your userpage was being redirected to User:Kyoko (usurped). This happened because Kyoko was already pointing to your name before the usurp. So after the usurp move it inherited the redirect. I have made the necessary deletes and moves so that your userpage has the full (almost) history. =Nichalp «Talk»= 16:26, 31 March 2007 (UTC) No, A double redirect would be something like this: A → B → C. Your case was different. Something like A → C and B → C, where you were looking at page B instead of A. =Nichalp «Talk»= 16:37, 31 March 2007 (UTC) Talkpage history Hi, I notice half your talkpage history seems to be at User talk:Tachikoma. If you like I can perform a history merge so all the revisions are here and then redirect that page to this one. Alternatively I guess you could just move that page to an archive page. Just let me know on your talkpage if you'd like the history merge. WjBscribe 18:43, 31 March 2007 (UTC) Done. WjBscribe 21:15, 31 March 2007 (UTC) re: deletion request Heya, done. Which bits of your page did you redesign? I can't remember, but the overall effect is still very nice :) I've read your e-mail, sorry the reply is taking so long, I've been a bit busy with assignments and haven't had much time online lately. You should have a reply by the end of tomorrow. Take care, – Riana ऋ 02:35, 3 April 2007 (UTC) Yep, deleted (er, that's what the 'done' meant, but it got overshadowed by the rest :p) I want my userpage to be a little more fancy than it is now, but I haven't got the time or the skill to redo it, and I don't really like talking about myself on-wiki so I wouldn't know what to put in it! The content I have there now is probably enough to identify me in real life, which doesn't freak me out really, but why encourage stupidity... Anyway, I just hopped on in between classes to print some notes out and couldn't help coming here, but I should get going now - take care :) – Riana ऋ 02:45, 3 April 2007 (UTC) RfA Process Would you be willing to help me go about proposing changes to the RfA process? I would really hate to see potenital admins be denied because they don't agree with the EU or don't like cats, you know ;). How would I propose this? Kntrabssi 05:56, 3 April 2007 (UTC) I see what you are saying. I was pretty upset last night, as I think I was unfairly misjudged, and I think some people forgot about assuming good faith. My reasons for relisting Rev was that the only material that got him voted down last time was removed from his user page. Many peopl said that offensive userboxes disparaged the appearance of neutrality. Well, he removed the material, so he has shown the willingness to change. He also is extremely interested in working with the backlog, which is something we desperately need. As far as the critreria for opposing, well we disagree there. I think a vote of "I can't trust Germans" or "I don't trust people who read treble clef instruments" is kind of a ridiculous reason to oppose someone. Anyways, thanks for your replies, I will voice my concerns on the talk page. :) Kntrabssi 14:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC) Name Change. I see your name change was successful! Sorry about what happened on that RfA when I gave support to that user referred to both of your names. Acalamari 20:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC) Thanks for the revert. :) Acalamari 16:21, 5 April 2007 (UTC) Template:PAH rx I've been thinking, and IMHO there's really no problem in adding ambrisentan and tadalafil to the template; thanks for your boldness :) And while we're at it, thanks for expanding tadalafil as well. Nice work, and surprisingly fast. Fvasconcellos 21:29, 6 April 2007 (UTC) You're welcome! By the way, the tadalafil article is currently under translation at the Portuguese WP, so your additions will soon be available there as well :) Fvasconcellos 16:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC) Yes, it's mostly me, although the article was created by another user. Fvasconcellos 16:52, 9 April 2007 (UTC) RfA thanks from Akhilleus Akhilleus gets new weapons. Archive11, thanks for your support in my successful RfA. As the picture shows, the goddesses have already bestowed my new weapons, which I hope to use to good effect. If you ever need assistance, or want to give me feedback on my use of the admin tools, please leave me a message on my talkpage. --Akhilleus (talk) 17:17, 7 April 2007 (UTC) e-mail Thanks Kyoko, read and replied. – Riana ऋ 18:06, 8 April 2007 (UTC) Lam Tin Actually, I meant to have someone not just reword, but rewrite the whole intro. The current intro is too short to sum up the article. I hope somebody would skim through the details below and write a summary... It's simply too difficult that nobody would like to do it. By the way, nice wording; and nice to hear the existence of the novel Tam Lin. --Deryck C. 12:46, 9 April 2007 (UTC) P.S. It's nice to have a Japanese review a China-related article. It ensures neutrality (kaka...) --Deryck C. 12:47, 9 April 2007 (UTC) About Spyware. No problem :). I too keep getting "database is locked for maintenance" error. Keep on pressing submit it may work or wait for a while. Have fun. Cheers --SkyWalker 17:10, 9 April 2007 (UTC) Thanks Thanks Kyoko! Wow it's been a while since we've talked. Just a recent deletion discussing and another one before it make me kind of feel like I'm making the wrong impression on people. I dunno. I do like to consider myself a deletionist but not in the negative sense. Adding rampant to it makes it clear that that's not how I want to come across. But anyway, it's good to know you're still here. Do you have my page watchlisted? If so, wow. Thanks. On this note, how are you? Everything good? DoomsDay349 17:31, 9 April 2007 (UTC) Oy vey, you've no need to tell me of Esperanza. It might sound bad, but I'm through with it. Hands washed and dried. It caused me to become something I don't want to be and I am not getting involved with it again. Hopefully everybody can work it out. I'm also tired of seeing how hard it is for everyone to agree on something. In any case, I'm not going back, I'm sure you remember how it messes with me. Just not a good place for me to be. DoomsDay349 18:35, 9 April 2007 (UTC) Arigato! Thanks so much for fixing my Franglais! I'm usually pretty sensitive to it, but I think I blew a circuit board doing a 45-kilobyte translation and now I sound like I play for the Habs. :) I think we need a special barnstar for that. How about this: "Le Barnstar du Molson Memorial Antifranglaisication?"  :) Cheers. HausTalk 20:46, 9 April 2007 (UTC) Vandal I can't believe he ignored such pretty warnings :p – Riana ऋ 13:31, 10 April 2007 (UTC) Talk:Vardenafil Hi Kyoko. I've found the link to the article and I'll have a read as soon as possible, but IMHO we should take this up with WP:CLINMED—second and third opinions rarely ever hurt anyone :) Maybe the WikiDocs will have some insight on whether or not this is worth mentioning. Best, Fvasconcellos 19:35, 10 April 2007 (UTC) You're welcome! I wasn't able to find the longer version of the article with references (that's only a brief report), but apparently PMID 15464333 is the trial they mention. It should get some input at WP:CLINMED. Hope you're doing well, Fvasconcellos 20:12, 10 April 2007 (UTC) Kind of swamped and kind of worn out, but I can't complain :) Fvasconcellos 21:05, 10 April 2007 (UTC) An Invite to join Novels WikiProject Hi, you are cordially invited to join the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often referred to as "Novels". We make no length distinction so all narrative prose fiction is of interest. This includes Novels, novellas, novelettes and short stories. Articles about the works themselves and the forms and genres. As you have shown an interest in Moonheart we thought you might like to take an interest in this well established WikiProject. We look forward to welcoming you to the project! :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:25, 11 April 2007 (UTC) Novels "If you aren't bothered by the fact that I won't dedicate myself solely to writing about novels, I would be happy to rejoin the project" No not at all - I do most of my work here. But I move about a bit as well - so if I can do it so can all of us LOL. You would be most welcome - of course! :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 12:48, 11 April 2007 (UTC) Hello I saw how well you redid that article. I was wondering if you could look this over, http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Crigler-Najjar_syndrome and see if I what put in was necassary or not. It's at the top. User:Bunny-chan 16:25, 11 April 2007 (UTC) Oh....right Sorry about that. It was the pulmonary hypertension article. User:Bunny-chan —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bunny-chan (talk • contribs) 18:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC). Moonheart I love Moonheart so, when I saw you'd made the page, I hoped you wouldn't mind if I added to it. I couldn't find a picture of the first edition cover though. I also remember you did nice things to Tam Lin (novel). :-) Random Passer-by (talk) 21:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC) I have read Spiritwalk but not for years. My favourite de Lint novel is definitely Moonheart although I think Memory and Dream is probably his best so far. Random Passer-by (talk) 22:22, 12 April 2007 (UTC) I don't read every de Lint book but some of his more recent stories are a little too similar to each other to satisfy me. I agree with you that Moonheart is his most magical book. I wasn't too disappointed in Spiritwalk because I didn't expect the sequel to please me as much as the original did. For me, Moonheart is one of the most perfectly escapist novels I've ever read (and I tend to re-read it when I need a dose of magical escapism). It successfully takes me somewhere else for a while. :-) Random Passer-by (talk) 00:01, 14 April 2007 (UTC) Phaedriel. I only noticed her contributions by chance; I saw that she had done some editing so I thought I'd give her a welcome back. November 3rd, 2006 was when she did her last edit before now...only a handful of users knew I existed back then. :) Acalamari 23:48, 12 April 2007 (UTC) I'm glad to see her back as well; from what I've heard, she is very, very nice (more than very, very nice, actually). Acalamari 02:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC Apology Hey. I know I may have done this before, but I want to repeat myself - I'm sorry for that email a couple of weeks ago. I'm feeling guilty for sending it. I hope you are doing okay. Will (I hope they cannot see, I AM THE GREAT DESTROYER!) 00:41, 13 April 2007 (UTC) Oh, and thanks for (inadvertently, but still...) alerting me of Sharon's return (I have your talk on my watchlist). I see you're glad she's back too, and I am - she was very friendly to me, Halo, and Snopake after what happened last August. Will (I hope they cannot see, I AM THE GREAT DESTROYER!) 00:43, 13 April 2007 (UTC) Mail Ughhhh. Sorry about that. I'll check my mail now. – Riana ऋ 06:41, 13 April 2007 (UTC) Replied. – Riana ऋ 06:59, 13 April 2007 (UTC) Yeah... Kyoko, that's fine with me. I actually read that part off of a web medical dictionary. But yeah, thanks for letting me know. Your version's actually better than mine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bunny-chan (talk • contribs) 20:28, 14 April 2007 (UTC) Dear Kyoko Dear Kyoko, I cannot say in words how much your warm wishes and your concern for me has touched me, but I'll try anyway... so go and check your mailbox! ;) Thank you, my dear Kyoko! Phaedriel IP Not at all! I appreciated it, an immediate(ish) response was better than my belated reply, given that the IP seemed to be static. It's fine, honestly, I don't mind! – Riana ऋ 00:25, 18 April 2007 (UTC) You helped choose Ludwig van Beethoven as this week's WP:ACID winner — Pious7TalkContribs 10:25, 18 April 2007 (UTC) A question Would it be OK with you for me to remove myself from your "Some thoughts" section? I'm doing better now and it makes me seem rather down-and-out. ;) If you prefer it to not be removed, though, I understand. —  $PЯINGrαgђ  23:07, 18 April 2007 (UTC) Note If you want some light entertainment, you could join in the merry fun and games we're having compiling some sort of vaguely exhaustive List of opera librettists. Hope you're feeling okayish, at least, these days. Cheers, Moreschi Talk 13:25, 19 April 2007 (UTC) re:Friend page Thanks for mentioning that! I read your e-mail, working on a response to that and the next. Thank you :) — Editor at Large(speak) 23:04, 21 April 2007 (UTC) Email alerts I love email alerts! My real email keeps getting lost in mailing lists :) I don't mind, seriously, and thanks for the heads-up. I'll have to hunt through my messages now :) – Riana ऋ 01:49, 23 April 2007 (UTC) My message bars are white, actually, I hated the orange! ^^ – Riana ऋ 01:56, 23 April 2007 (UTC) I don't find it offensive at all. A touching response to a terrible tragedy. And the defcon is... yes, stolen from you :) I'll reply to your email as soon as I can. I completely agree with what you've written, and I'm having some trouble with that person also.

Sleep well! :) Phaedriel - 07:52, 23 April 2007 (UTC) Poetry As I currently understand it, you can add a wikisource box thing to the poems, and also some external links to other translations. It's how I see it done in places. I am not brilliant at poetry (I quit the project some time ago because I didn't have enough time to devote to it) and the articles I saw was not brilliant, but some FAs I sought out for you are Alliterative verse, The Cantos, and, interestingly, Poetry. I hope they can help you. Good luck with the poetry, and I hope you can give WP:POETRY a good kicking, they don't seem to do much. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 14:12, 23 April 2007 (UTC) Your French page I just read your French page—it's beautiful. :) (Never mind that I can't understand hardly any French…I still like it.) —  $PЯINGrαgђ  16:06, 24 April 2007 (UTC) Welcome! Hi, Kyoko, welcome to WikiProject LGBT Studies! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles of interest to the LGBT community. Some points that may be helpful: Our main aim is to help improve LGBT-related articles, so if someone asks for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able. Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it. The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as article quality assessment, peer review and a project-wide article collaboration, all of which you are welcome to take part in. We also have a unique program to improve our lower quality articles, Jumpaclass, so please consider signing up there. If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign LGBT topics. If you're planning to stay, have a square in our quilt! You can put anything you want in it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you. And once again - Welcome! Good to see you. :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:35, 25 April 2007 (UTC) If you're interested in helping out on a casual basis, we have a list of people who need to be added to our LGBT people lists - they're fairly simple to do, and shouldn't take up much time, but it would be very helpful. And I appreciate your gesture. I face little discrimination offline, but the amount levelled at me online is astonishing. Why is it the people exhorted to love God and love thy neighbour are most nasty to people they perceive to be different? Even were I not a minority, my religion compels me to be as kind and non-judgemental towards everyone as possible, not try and stir up hatred against them like Ed so obviously tried to do. I find it to be a sad state of affairs. So your little candle of light in a world of darkness is received with the spirit in which it was intended. Thank you. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC) I'm sorry Kyoko, but I do not accept it is ageist to point out that Ed acts like the excitable fourteen year old boy that he is. After my experiences when I was thirteen, I judge people by their maturity online, not their age, and Ed is obviously a fourteen year old boy, and as such I have little respect for his attempts to keep switching what he's arguing about. I may not know Ed offline, but I do know fourteen year old boys, and I know they can't bear to be proven wrong and will say anything in order to "win". I do not find it ageist to treat children like children. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 06:50, 26 April 2007 (UTC) I got your message while previewing my endorsement :) Cheers, Moreschi Talk 13:23, 26 April 2007 (UTC) As I understand it, a work shouldn't be tagged because its author was gay - there is nothing, after all, gay about 4′33″, Mrs. Dalloway, or The Second Coming. But if the works themselves are gay-themed, then they should be tagged, so The Line of Beauty, Trembling before G-d, Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other etc. Hope that helps. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 15:26, 26 April 2007 (UTC) Userpage suggestion My dear Kyoko, talking to you is all it takes to lift my spirit ;) Thanks so much for your suggestion, which is a very god idea - in fact, I'll add links right away! By the way, I was thinking about adding a few more people who chose to move on, even if I wasn't blessed to meet them, and I thought of Elara. Since you are close to her, would you like to write a short sentence to add there? Hugs, Phaedriel - 01:20, 26 April 2007 (UTC) I think you're right, dear Kyoko; I'm sure she'd prefer to see the words of a dear friend of hers, like you or Dev, instead of her own. But hey, it's not a memorial, and from what I've observed reading her, she'd hate that we treated her like she was dead! ;) Just a little something to express she's missed, and that we would like to see her around again would be best. The subpage is here; feel free to add your words for her there, and don't worry about the format, I can arrange that later ;) Phaedriel - 12:59, 26 April 2007 (UTC) That's perfect! :) Short and sweet, and denoting those important virtues that make her missed right now. I hope Elara likes it, and that she knows she'll have friends waiting for her should she ever decide to return. Thanks so much for your beautiful input, dear Kyoko! Phaedriel - 13:55, 26 April 2007 (UTC) Re: Please look at this That sounds good... not sure about the reason though. Perhaps "She cared deeply about the project and worked hard at improving things, not hesitating to voice her concerns. She decided to leave Wikipedia when she felt problems and issues were not being addressed or changed and felt she no longer had a reason to stay." Yours is good but she never said the reason was that her voice wasn't being heard; more that problems that weren't being fixed and didn't have time or feel any reason to contribute any longer. I'm not sure what the best wording would be, though, and yours is more to-the-point (but then I do tend to ramble :p ). P.S. working on a reply to the e-mail, might take me a bit to become coherent but it's getting written at least. — Editor at Large(speak) 15:06, 26 April 2007 (UTC) My suggestion was actually to avoid the suggestion that she left because people were disagreeing with her specifically or because of conflicts, etc. as the sentence "She decided to leave Wikipedia when she felt her concerns were no longer being addressed." seems to indicate. It wasn't personal or selfish reasons as much as large-scale issues and her just feeling there was no reason to edit here any more (life had a part in that, with her job etc. she was busy). — Editor at Large(speak) 17:59, 26 April 2007 (UTC) It's perfect :) And I wish you all the muchly best of luck I possibly can m'dear; though I don't said a specific date? E-mail will work but if I know I can make sure to reply before then. Much much much love, — Editor at Large(speak) 00:04, 28 April 2007 (UTC) Excellent work, my friends, I love your beautiful words for Elara, even tho I didn't was blessed to meet her. Your touching words will remain at my userpage... hopefully temporarily until she decides to join us again. Hugs to the both of you! Phaedriel - 06:47, 28 April 2007 (UTC) WikiProject France Hello! We are a group of editors working to improve the quality of France related articles. You look like someone who might be interested in joining us in the France WikiProject and so I thought I'd drop you a line and invite you! We'd love to have you in our project :-) STTW (talk) 20:11, 26 April 2007 (UTC) A thought about you :) Hi there Kyoko. Various links have put me on your talk page many times, as have links to Ayelie's. Saw the message and just thought I would drop by, say hello, and hopefully make your day. :) --Ali K 08:29, 27 April 2007 (UTC) Kind Ok, sorry about that. >Radiant< 13:43, 27 April 2007 (UTC) Well-wishes This is similar to what I put on Ayelie's talk, but it still applies: I hope you feel better soon (if your wikibreak is stress-induced). Will (I hope they cannot see, I AM THE GREAT DESTROYER!) 14:21, 28 April 2007 (UTC) Before I forget to ask, do you want me to unhide your name on my friends page? I hid it after you posted on my talk about the email I sent you, and that's the reason why I've been avoiding you recently - I thought that you don't consider me a friend any more. Will (I hope they cannot see, I AM THE GREAT DESTROYER!) 16:02, 28 April 2007 (UTC) Email alert! Email for you, sweet K :) Please, dearie, relax - I'll be around for several more hours if you need me. Love, and see you at your mailbox, Phaedriel - 22:15, 28 April 2007 (UTC) Soundtrack I noticed we have some similar tastes in music; namely, Evanescence and Rush. Speaking of Rush, their new album is out this week. I got a copy "early", and I must say, they're back to form. — Deckiller 07:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC) E-mail As do you :) – Riana ऋ 00:20, 30 April 2007 (UTC) You may enjoy uncyclopedia:Russian reversal, then :) Logging out now. Enjoy the rest of your day (night?) :) – Riana ऋ 00:41, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
