Jonas Vinther (talk) 13:18, 24 June 2014 (UTC) I do mine manually, but there's also automatic archiving available. There's instructions at User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo. MiszaBot is no longer active, and the actual archiving is now done by lowercase sigmabot III. You can also copy the mark-up for archiving from a user talk page that already has bot archiving (for example at User talk:Ninja Diannaa). The bot will automatically create the first archive for you. Let me know if you want me to help. -- Diannaa (talk) 13:54, 24 June 2014 (UTC) Thanks; I just did it manually, also. Jonas Vinther (talk) 15:48, 25 June 2014 (UTC) As you can see Special:Contributions/75.159.118.134 isn't going to stop. - Hoops gza (talk) 01:35, 25 June 2014 (UTC) Interesting, he is in Grande Prairie every Saturday. -- Diannaa (talk) 01:43, 25 June 2014 (UTC) Copy-vio on Hebbal Hi Diannaa. Arunodayaappu is repeatedly adding copy-vio material to Hebbal. Could you take a look? — LeoFrank  Talk 12:30, 26 June 2014 (UTC) Hopefully he will heed your warnings. I will watch-list the page and block the user if he re-adds the content. -- Diannaa (talk) 18:28, 26 June 2014 (UTC) The Ribbon International Thank you for your contributions and editing. The reason I was upset Tuesday night was due to just receiving one set of contributions Tuesday night that I spent 4 months trying to get from Marie Dennis Grassco, only to discover that the intro paragraph had been chopped in half, and deleted for which she had sent edits to apply. Numerous pages on Wiki have a description, an intro or a synopsis of the page. Anti-nuclear movement, Neuroglia, Subdural hematoma, Woodstock, March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, I was waiting for additional editing and copy to be emailed to add to the page, before I made additional edits. I also got turned off working on the page, due to all the negativity. I am also waiting on a professor in Mexico to finish her school year, to contribute information on the UNESCO event. I was keeping the page kind of wordy, to lengthen the copy, as I was hoping to add one or two additional photos with the additional copy, one being of a Noble Prize laureate with a ribbon panel from the UNESCO Mexico event. As you will notice, the Anti-nuclear movement page has 50 images and the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom has 12 images in the gallery. I would like to try and design a similar page like the Anti-nuclear movement to enable the addition of a few more photos. Marie is scanning a number of historical documents, hopefully to have some included on the page. "The Ribbon Route" map image is important, as it provides readers who have never been to the Washington, D.C. area, a visual display of "The Ribbon" route. There is also a paragraph that was deleted, concerning the cold war and the nuclear arms race that was prominent in world at the time and played a crucial role in the creation of panels for "The Ribbon", according to Mary Frances Jaster. The "Article" section was also deleted that needs to be restored. In the "Videos" the last video was deleted with Host Judy Lerner, "Speaking of Women". Information concerning the Smithsonian Museum was deleted and needs to be restored. An introductory sentence for Justine needs to be restored, saying she was a grand mother, activist and was from Denver, CO, as there is nothing to designated her age, background or location, other than just being a body. In addition, the sentence as to how Justine started "The Ribbon" with Christmas cards also needs to be included. The two times the word activist was used needs to be restored. The quotation marks around "The Ribbon" need to be restored, as it is the name of a piece of art work. Also there are minor technical errors on the page, and I got another email this week with additional edits for the page. The correct title for Pope John II, Pope Saint John Paul II needs to be restored, according to a priest with the Catholic church. I could continue, but it is time to work on other things. Susan Macafee (talk) 23:01, 26 June 2014 (UTC) Susan Macafee, content was deleted for a reason. [1], [2], [3]. The article doesn't have to list every place the movement is mentioned. --NeilN talk to me 23:16, 26 June 2014 (UTC) Hi Susan, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I can certainly understand why you find it upsetting to discover that people have removed content from the article. However, the people who have been working on it are experienced long-time Wikipedians who know how to create an article that meets our guidelines for content, style, sourcing, and formatting. Discussions about what content should or should not be included in the article need to take place at the article talk page, not here. A couple of quick general points: All content in Wikipedia articles needs to be sourced to reliable third-party sources, such as books, newspapers, and magazines (Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources). Personal letters and emails and inaccessible documents are not considered reliable sources. The article should not be over-loaded with photos; extra images should be hosted on the Commons. -- Diannaa (talk) 23:19, 26 June 2014 (UTC) I forgot to ask why you rewrote the page and did the edits, without first posting on the talk page or on my talk page, or giving me a chance to edit. I was waiting for additional edits and copy to be sent and added, before I did any more editing on the page. Also, there are numerous pages on Wikipedia that contain copy that is wordy for the page. What prompted you to rewrite the page? I was in the process of trying to find someone to help me with the layout, as there are a multitude of Wikipedia pages that have more images that what was on this page. Susan Macafee (talk) 22:52, 27 June 2014 (UTC) I visited the page after seeing a report on the admin notice board, Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#WP:IUC and WP:OWN by USER:Susan Macafee for The Ribbon International. Editors are not required to contact anyone or ask permission before editing articles on this wiki. -- Diannaa (talk) 22:57, 27 June 2014 (UTC) Diannaa - Thank you for restoring the map on the page and all the coding. As for the length of The Ribbon. I think originally I had 18 miles for the length of The Ribbon, I then calculated how many yards in a mile to estimate the mileage. 15 Miles = 26,400 Yards / 18 Miles = 31,680 Yards. The 18 miles is way over the number of panels @ 36"/1 yard that were used or even available, it was then changed to 15 miles. Since the change I have spoken to three of the planners who also said 15 miles. About 27,000 panels were actually used, out of 30,000 panels. Every source has a different estimate for the length of The Ribbon. "As for the paragraph you removed saying I had copied the paragraph, which I did not do, I paraphrased the paragraph. I can put the two paragraphs on your talk page so you can see the comparisons side by side. In Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing, under the section "when there are a limited number of ways to say the same thing". I would like to restore the paragraph. Susan Macafee (talk) 02:49, 29 June 2014 (UTC) Notability Would you say the Canadian actress Daiva Johnston is notable enough for a Wikipedia article? Jonas Vinther (talk) 18:32, 27 June 2014 (UTC) Nevermind; I found out myself. :) Jonas Vinther (talk) 19:41, 27 June 2014 (UTC) Thanks Thanks for Your last edit about Erich, the Field Marshal. I think the lead actually became better than before. Have a nice summer, You decerve it Boeing720 (talk) 19:52, 28 June 2014 (UTC) I am glad we were finally able to agree on a new wording. Regards, -- Diannaa (talk) 20:01, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
