Talk:Ann Coulter
Good work on deleting the guy's ravings. He made a point, however, that the ravings to which he was responding have NOT been removed. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Shouldn't they go? Lou Sander (talk) 13:29, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Possibly? Unfortunately I'm not sure which other ravings are present; this "JAGOFF" he mentioned doesn't seem to show up on the page, and reading the whole thing looking for them isn't quite my cup of tea. :) If you like, feel free to do something or other, yourself, or point it out to me if you'd rather not. – Luna Santin (talk) 20:27, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Vandalism - Attachment Theory
Dear Luna,
I am in a discussion on the following page and found it had been removed.
The point of this discussion is to get the bottom of the problems on this and other topics;-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2008-04-25_Attachment_theory
I have put notes on the page calling this vandalism amd stating I would contact an administrator.
I should be grateful for your urgent help.

- I could be missing it, but I don't see where discussion is being removed; could you provide a diff to that effect? Beyond that, I notice the MedCab case doesn't appear to have a mediator, yet. Probably the best thing all of you could do at this point is get more voices involved, either through MedCab or RFC. – Luna Santin (talk) 20:32, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

- We have had two 3PO's and a sources noticeboard view but Kingsley does not accept any of their views. There is absolutely no point going to the Psych Project as there is never any response from it. RfC's in obscure areas of psychology like attachment get little or no response. Fainites barley 21:24, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
WP:Lectures

Grawp sock puppet
Is there any way to stop this guy? Or are we going to have to spend the rest of our lives undoing his vandalism? Serendipodous 09:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- That's a question that might be best left to the checkusers. :) Our best move ("in the trenches") is an odd combination of WP:RBI and WP:DENY, in my opinion. The more exciting, interesting, or otherwise rewarding we make it for this person to continue, the longer they will do so. – Luna Santin (talk) 20:43, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Banned user
If "(rmv nonsense from banned user)" is banned, why aren't they blocked? — Rlevse • Talk • 10:00, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you mean. Zemzance (talk · contribs), Xeonecon (talk · contribs), Wollingwolorine (talk · contribs), and Vilecremence (talk · contribs) are all blocked as obvious sockpuppets of LaruaWA11 (talk · contribs). – Luna Santin (talk) 20:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes thank you
Sorry for abusing my powers. I appreciate you not being mean like that other guy who wanted to delete my article though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HappyGoAldar (talk • contribs) 20:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Help?
Thanks, the URL works perfectly. (The agreement you saw would have cleared and shown you the page you were clicking into had you accepted.) Is there some sort of list of all the escape sequences for typing special characters like that? Thanks again, Bob the Wikipedian, the Tree of Life WikiDragon (talk) 00:47, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- I happened to recall the encoding for [ and ] from prior experience, but googling "% encoding" or anything similar might be helpful. The Percent-encoding article links to this online tool which might (hopefully) be helpful, at least for single character lookup if not for a full fix. – Luna Santin (talk) 01:53, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Keep up the great work
Luna Santin. Your one of the users with a unique username that i will never forget, i have seen you around for a very long time here and there, its great you still have the motivation and the passion to help the project as time goes on. I have seen a fair bit of users who have given up for a variety of reasons, im not one of them. By the way are you really into the Moon or is it something you came up with. Im sorry, i know this question has probably been asked of you after all your years on wikipedia, im just curious thats all. Another thing when you first started you stated you dreamt of living in a van by the river eating govt cheese. Very strange indeed, how close is that dream to reality after nearly 2 years? Thanks Roadrunnerz45 (talk 2 me) 14:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, there. :) Wikipedia's something I've been able to enjoy, off-and-on, because it's something I can do to connect with some great, intelligent people, learn a bit about large web projects, and hopefully to help a large number of people find information they're looking for. Currently I'm on a wikibreak, but I suspect I'll be dropping back in, before too long. As far as the moon, I think I like the idea of looking up at it, wondering how many other people will be seeing the same thing at any given moment... and it made for a distinctive name. ;) The cheese bit was a reference to an old Saturday Night Live skit I'm rather a fan of (though I suppose I do live near a river, now). – Luna Santin (talk) 20:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
New Project
Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 17:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Interesting idea. I might add myself at a later date; been on a bit of a vacation, lately. :) – Luna Santin (talk) 20:33, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Advice needed regarding Fanities
Dear Luna Santin,
I have sought Fanities cooperation in the mediation process with no success (PLEASE SEE LINK
Can you tell me the next stage?
(Please can you also acknowledge receipt of this message)

Child Psychology
Luna ,
I have left many notes on your discussion page regarding this matter.
Can you tell me what the next stage after referring the case for dispute resolution to a CABAL maybe?
Many thanks,
KingsleyMiller (talk) 11:34, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps you could even get Fainites to share his or her objections?

- Unfortunately I'm on a bit of a "vacation" from Wikipedia, at the moment; might have more time to look into this at a later time, if it's still needed. – Luna Santin (talk) 20:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
'Hello' article vandalisim
This internet IP address (165.21.155.8) is from a ISP and is shared and used by many people.
Apparently the freaking ISP is used by a great many 12-year-old twits. (No offense to any sane 12-year-olds.)
Evidence: Edits to Maplestory... and various other crap.
The talk page for this IP is vaguely disturbing.
Just a thought.
- Hopes that my computer has not been hijacked.*
165.21.155.13 (talk) 17:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Curse of editing from a shared IP. :) You could register an account if this bothers you any. If not, you can at least be secure in the knowledge that this wasn't you causing the trouble. – Luna Santin (talk) 20:04, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Refresh my memory
Not sure if you remember me from the Village pump debate on updating WP:USER to make it explicitly clear that anonymous editors are permitted to remove messages from their own talk pages, however I was one of the (loud, outspoken) folks who started out on the "nay" side but was eventually swayed by your persuasive logic. During that discussion, there was some debate as to the types of things that IPs could not remove from their talk pages. My recollection was that there were three items that anonymous editors were not permitted to remove: sock notices, unblock requests while the block was still active, and IP headers ({{ISP}}, {{SharedIP}}, and {{SharedIPedu}}). However looking at WP:USER, I only see references to the first two items, and nothing on the headers. Refresh my memory ... were the headers excluded by accident or was it intentional? Thanks, Kralizec! (talk) 03:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Lectures time
Yeah, we're posting on time for once (40 minutes early). Todays lecture is by Vassyana (an expert mediator), who will be talking about how to deal with conflicts, whether you are a mediator or not. Hope to see you there! --Kim Bruning (talk) 14:15, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Media/image merge
I'm a little unsure here, I guess I followed a helpful link someone gave me and ended up at a superceded help desk. I've gone back to check at Help:Contents/Images_and_media and I see links to both of Wikipedia:Media copyright questions and Wikipedia:Image copyright help desk. Should the latter now be shown on that master page as deprecated? The Ichd has had more activity since your change to the merge notice, so maybe the notice needs to be more bigger and more redder? :) Neway, I'll try my current question at Mcq. Cheers!

Template:Songs
Hi, I posted a request on Template talk:Songs and was wondering if you could help. Basically the List and Category class are still appearing as unassessed with this template and I was wondering if you could edit the template so these articles would no longer appear unassessed. Any help you can provide is appreciated. Orfen T • C 02:58, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

If it's the right thing to do...
Why not do it? – Luna Santin (talk) 20:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- You and I believe that it's the right thing to do, but others disagree. That's why there was an edit war that led to the page's protection. Utilizing one's sysop bit to continue engaging in said edit war while the page is protected most definitely is not the right thing to do. —David Levy 21:02, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

- Feelings haven't much changed on the subject, but I find it hard to argue with David. – Luna Santin (talk) 23:15, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
A bit late, probably, but wanted to commend you on your handling of this. From what I could see, you were quite fair to both sides of the dispute and managed to be utterly and intelligently persuasive while doing so. I'm impressed. – Luna Santin (talk) 08:46, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you! I sincerely appreciate your kind words. :-) —David Levy 23:34, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
