Hey

I saw your WP request for donations. I checked out your user page, and thought it was cool you live in a zillion different countries. Do you get visas for all of them, or just a US citizen and citizen of 1 Europe country? I'd actually like to live in both US and Europe, that's why I ask. - Connelly (talk) 04:08, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Lilaroja, you're so pretty! I like seeing you at the top of every Wikipedia page.

Are you married? I am not. Coffee? --66.87.8.38 (talk) 06:48, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, no more Jimbo faces annoying users. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.78.243.29 (talk) 09:47, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia biography?

Now that we are all getting to know you, Lilaroja, through your fund-raising page on the English WP, I wondered whether it would not be appropriate to write a short WP biography on you. I see you have written a number of books and articles here which is a good start. And you also have a short CV here with additions here. Maybe you could direct me to some third party sources (e.g. newspaper articles) reporting on your activities - or perhaps reviews of your books? BTW, I am surprised you are only on the English WP. Why not Spanish, Catalan and Italian - and all the others? - Ipigott (talk) 11:21, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

it looks like dating site when I view serious topics....

but I admit it's better than seeing that honky redhead man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.212.168.73 (talk) 16:01, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Jesus, I can't believe I'm going to add even more to all this nonsense, but, quite frankly, your face was what drew me in to donate. So, good on you, Lilaroja. Lexicon (talk) 22:43, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

You are lovely. Your heart, your goodness, your soul manifests itself in your photograph! I can't believe I'm flirting with you. But yes, you are nothing short of amazing! If you are attached, your significant other IS SO LUCKY! He or she should never leave you because you are the pinnacle, the zenith!!! I am not a creep. I am handsome. I am an admirer from a far. I also attended one of the institutions you mention in California so perhaps we have overlapped. I hope we can exchange e-mail addresses. XoXo! --Inetpuppy (talk) 10:11, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Fansite

Hey guys, WP has rules about creating fan pages, remember? And that's what you're talking about.
Red Lilac's contributions across all projects of WP come to, like, 50, principally on her own page, and her other pages are all ready for deletion due to lack of notability and lack of personal detachment.
So maybe you guys should get back to improving the page on the Peloponnesian War, eh?
Varlaam (talk) 01:18, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

You really hit the spot. --- Pichote (talk) 23:32, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

I disagree. Here we have an editor who undertook the difficult task of assisting the encyclopedia's fund-raising efforts. Notwithstanding the fawning comments of the IPs now she comes under friendly fire from fellow editors just because she became the object of admiration from a bunch of IPs. It is not her fault that a few IP editors came to express their admiration for her. She did not invite them. Neither did she invite fellow-editors to review her work and comment on her talkpage for no good reason. This line of commenting should cease. Furthermore the fansite tag is valid only for articles and it is invalid in userspace. In addition ad-hominem comments are covered under our NPA policy. Overall this section is completely without justification and of questionable taste. Dr.K. ^{λogosπraxis} 03:12, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi

First and foremost I want to say that I think it's great that you're helping to keep Wikipedia free with your very convincing letter to the people to donate to Wikipedia. Of course, I think it's your radiant beauty above all that really draws people in, but it's your well-written letter that makes them listen. You are a wonderful combination of beauty and brains, a perfect spokesperson for Wikipedia. Unfortunately, I had not heard of you beforehand, so I don't know what kinds of articles you focus on, but I know that by your writing style, you are most certainly a valued contributor. Please continue what you are doing, you are a very beautiful young woman both inside and out, and your friends and family are blessed to know someone like you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.72.207.234 (talk) 03:07, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Hola!

Sorry it tooks me a bit of time to answer. Connelly, answering your specific question, I have an Spanish passport, so I can travel freely though Europe, to research at USA I asked a VISA. Ipigott, I personally don't think I deserve a WP bibliography :-), but thank you anyway.

Thanks everyone for the beutiful words :-) Viva Wikipedia, Lilaroja

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Lilaroja. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Lilaroja~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Bay Area WikiSalon series kickoff, April 27

Please join us in San Francisco!

Panel discussion at a recent Wikipedia & Journalism event.

The last Wednesday evening of every month, wiki enthusiasts in the San Francisco Bay Area will gather to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas. We have two brief presentations lined up for our kickoff event in downtown San Francisco:

• The Nueva Upper School recently hosted the first ever high school Wikipedia edit-a-thon. We will hear what interests them about Wikipedia, what they have learned so far, and what they hope to achieve.
• Photojournalist Kris Schreier Lyseggen, author of The Women of San Quentin: The Soul Murder of Transgender Women in Male Prisons, will tell us about her work and how she researched the topic.

We allow time for informal conversation and working on articles. Newcomers and experienced wiki users are encouraged to attend. We will have beverages and light snacks.

Please note: You must register here, and bring a photo ID that matches your registration name. The building policy is strict on this point.

For further details, see here: Wikipedia:Bay Area WikiSalon, April 2016

We hope to see you -- and until then, happy editing! - Pete, Ben & Wayne
