Rollback
After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback may be removed at any time.
If you do not want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can viewthis page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 23:35, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
Pirates
Hi,
I promise when I say I'm not trying to be cause "disruptive editing". I'm only trying to keep the truth true. As I written in my original edit summary:
- Neither the film nor the cast and crew(including Gemma) say anything about Tamara being the mermaid queen; therefore, she is only a mermaid
- I understand completely of Wikipedia's tendency to take only what news articles state. However, films are a source too; so the way they are set up matters as well. No official film material states that Tamara was a mermaid...they say "Gemma Ward portrayed a mermaid named Tamara", but not "Gemma Ward portrayed a mermaid queen named Tamara". No such thing was stated in the film's original script, books, etc state that she's a queen: not even the cast and crew, including Gemma Ward herself.
- But back to what I took out stuff, even though one was sourced. As you can see in my edit, I took out all the "mermaid queen" nonsense because nothing related to that is stated inyour so-called source. The only thing that's stated is that Gemma Ward played a mermaid. That's it. Nothing else. Nothing saying "Oh, she's playing a queen!". So take that as a source that all of this mermaid queen business is just nonsense and gibberish made by the press.
- Thank you for your time. 75.90.114.161 (talk) 03:21, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
- I'm on the Pirates Wikia right now, and she wasn't Queen of the Mermaids nor was she an "antagonistic" mermaid. She was just one of them that searched for the Fountain of Youth. In other words, we're both wrong; she's just a minor character in the movie.-Abigail was here :D (Need Some Help? Click Me!) 03:26, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
- Ok, I didn't really think of "antagonistic mermaid". I kinda took that from someone else who stated this problem. But either way, I'm glad we could reach an agreement over this "mermaid queen" business.
- Thank you for listening to my complaint and I'm sorry if I caused any trouble in this "setting right of things". :) 75.90.114.161 (talk) 04:11, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Reverting constructive edits
Hi.
You recently reverted some constructive edits of mine. I was attempting to give that user a more descriptive user page. Does Wikipedia not encourage users to jump in and give it ago?

Luke Evans Edits
Can you please tell me what part of my edits constitutes vandalism? Luke Evans has admitted to being an openly gay man, some woman claimed to be in a relationship with evans, a rumor which evans never confirmed. your current posting is misleading at best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmendez4 (talk • contribs) 21:46, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
- On Luke Evan's page, it clearly already says that he's gay, so there's no real reason to write it again or delete any information about his sexuality on his page. --Abigail was here :D (Need Some Help? Click Me!) 21:49, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
There is reason to restate as the final statement is false and misleading. Ending the article with a rumored relationship with a woman is an attempt to coverup his previous admission to being gay as a youthful indiscretion. In reality some woman claimed to be in a relationship with an openly gay mean, this constitutes a rumor not a truth and should be documented as such. The man who is openly homosexual never confirmed the rumor which leads the reader to the truth, that it is likely just that a rumor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmendez4 (talk • contribs) 21:54, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

- I believe the subject on the Cure for a Fetish could be highly opinionated because a Fetish is very broad. There are many fetishes so there are many "cures," or none at all.

Undesirable reverting of a correction on the "Satires (Juvenal)" page
Madam,
I have very limited knowledge of the inner workings of Wikipedia, but since I have twice tried to correct a mistake only to see it erased, and have been notified you are somehow connected with the matter, I felt compelled to contact you. The mistake I caught is in the "Satires (Juvenal)" page under the subheading "Satire III: There is no Room in Rome for a Roman". Here, much of the first line of the Latin text was left untranslated in the accompanying English translation. The Latin is: "quid Romae faciam? mentiri nescio;" I attempted to add "What could I do at Rome? I don't know how to cheat;" as the first line of the English translation and trouble ensued. I hope you will be able to resolve this matter and improve the article.
Respectfully yours, An Amateur Classicist
- I only reverted seeing that Cluebot NG reverted your previous edit, so I basically assumed. I know that's totally wrong but ClueBot is rarely wrong in His reversions.

Abigail - it's game on at the Teahouse!
WOW! Ever since it was announced on the Wikimedia blog, the Teahouse has been blowin' up. Calling all hosts! :) We've got new editor's lookin' for answers! Sarah (talk) 19:48, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Non-free images
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Teahouse/Hosts&diff=480587046&oldid=479984527 – Can you please find a different image to use? Non-free images shouldn't be used without a fair use rationale. Wikipedia isn't a forum with avatars.--Michaeldsuarez (talk) 01:17, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
- If it's a non-free image, then why is it on the Rukia Kuchiki page? --Abigail was here :D Talk to Me.Email Me. 19:27, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
- This would be a good question for the Teahouse =) Regarding the image being used on that article page - for films, and certain types of article subjects, a non-free rationale can be used to display a copyrighted image on the article page. You can read the rationale for using that image here File:RukiaAnime.jpg. One downer is that it can *only* be used in that one space, no where else. Hence why it had to be removed from the Teahouse page :( But, there are plenty of lovely anime images on Commons, perhaps one of those will be able to be used for your Host profile. (And we hope you stop by and help out soon :) ) Sarah(talk) 19:30, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification, Sarah. Bugger, though! I liked that picture :( Oh well. I'll continue to go around looking for other pictures to use for an avatar. Oh and Sarah, I'll probably be a little slow with the Teahouse. I caught a cold and the only thing I've been doing is drinking water and making soup. I'll put my 2 cents in soon! --Abigail was here :D Talk to Me.Email Me. 19:43, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the response
Abigail, Thanks for the response to my feedback. I feel that it is a lot of fun to use the Wiki markup alongside my previous web development knowledge. I also can't wait to see how the Wikipedia page turns out when I eventually finish and launch my social networking website (I've already made some Userboxes about it), because I really haven't given out much information about it, and it would be nice to see how others would judge the "Features" and other sections of the website. I'm not trying to advertise at all, I just can't wait to see how it turns out and when would you suggest that I start the Wikipedia page for it? Should I start it now and upload images for it so as to inform readers? Thanks again and I hope to hear a response from an experienced Wikipedian like you soon!-- • |robdukarski| • 15:29, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
- Glad to see your determination! I can't really tell you when is the right time to create your Wikipedia article, but I highly recommend reading through this page. Remember to prepare your sources and make sure that you try to keep the neutral point of view in check! --Abigail was here :D Talk to Me.Email Me. 19:37, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for all of your help. I feel that for my article I would simply complete the "infoboxes" probably just before the launch and then let other Wikipedians fill in the rest as to not have the article be biased because of me. Thanks again.-- • |robdukarski| • 21:31, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
- You're very welcome! I hope your article gets approved and becomes extremely awesome. I'll be watching. If you want any more help, feel free to leave me a message here or you can personally email me, the link is in my signature. Happy Editing, and good luck! --Abigail was here :D Talk to Me.

Tea Talk Question!
Hi Abigail! Hope you're doing well :) Glad to see you drop in on the Teahouse to participate - made me happy to see! I'd love to ask your help with something, "Tea Talk"! A few days ago I asked a question for women editor's about what they are editing or have found inspiration on on Wikipedia. It was a great way for people to participate. I was wondering if you'd like to take a shot at the next question? Think something that would get new and experienced editor's discussing their experience on Wikipedia, i.e. the first image someone uploaded, your first a-ha moment on Wikipedia regarding a skill, etc. Feel free to ping me for help, or just ask it on the Teahouse. :) I hope you're willing to take on this task only a Hostess with the Mostess can take on!Sarah (talk) 22:22, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
The Tea Leaf - Issue One - Recent news from the Teahouse
Hi! Welcome to the first edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!
- Metrics are out from week one. Week one showed that the need for Teahouse hosts to invite new editors to the Teahouse is urgent for this pilot period. It also showed that emailing new users invitations is a powerful tool, with new editors responding more to emails than to talk page templates. We also learned that the customized database reports created for the Teahouse have the highest return rate of participation by invitees. Check out the metrics here and see how you can help with inviting in our Invitation Guide.
- A refreshed "Your hosts" page encourages experienced Wikipedians to learn about the Teahouse and participate. With community input, the Teahouse has updated the Your hosts page which details the host roles within the Teahouse pilot and the importance that hosts play in providing a friendly, special experience not always found on other welcome/help spaces on Wikipedia. It also explains how Teahouse hosts are important regarding metrics reporting during this pilot. Are you an experienced editor who wants to help out? Take a look at the new page today and start learning about the hosts tasks and how you can participate!
- Introduce yourself and meet new guests at the Teahouse. Take the time to welcome and get to know the latestguests at the Teahouse. New & experienced editors to Wikipedia can add a brief infobox about themselves and get to know one another with direct links to userpages. Drop off some wikilove to these editors today, they'll surely be happy to feel the wikilove!

Teahouseness
Hi Abigail! As requested on the "Your hosts" page (and in the original application process), it'd be wonderful to have hosts participate in all areas that were originally. Two things I'd LOVE help with specifically:inviting people and when you are finished answering a question on the Teahouse page, it'd be awesome if you'd leave a Teahouse Talkback on theeditors page. These are all necessities during (and honestly, beyond) the pilot phase of this project, and is very important in us tracking metrics to judge the projects successes, or failures. If this is going to be an issue, feel free to let me know! Thanks again for participating, you're doing an awesome job :)Sarah (talk) 12:39, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, Sarah! I know, I'm sorry for being a little short in the invite department. People are so fast when it comes to inviting! I'll try to get some during this week or the weekend, when I have more screen time. I'll see you around the Teahouse!--Abigail was here :D Talk to Me. Email Me. 02:07, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Regarding my editiing
Hi,
I am a new person over here, for a free speech, you can surely have a verification from my side.I can provide you documented evidences, for the same. I am an experienced personnel in the pharma industry, and we must make people aware in the problems in such careers.
The person named GD edited the post and issued me threats of banning even the person is not experienced or is near to ground reality.
Regards, GuruX [email protected] — Preceding unsigned comment added bySaynotopharmacareer (talk •contribs) 10:28, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
You're not citing anything; everything you post must be verifiable, and we cannot rely on unsourced material. I also saw that you made a personal attack to Gogo Dodo. First, calm down, He was not insulting your intelligence, "challenging" you, or trying to revoke your rights of Free Speech. There are some policies Wikipedia has for citing material, that you do not have any knowledge of. You can always gather sources and attempt to reinsert your information with them, try doing that. No more attacks, control yourself.
Dear Abigail,
Thanks for your reply, please note that there is twice a statements regarding the person whom I have dealt with, the wordings where it is said that " it is not your soapbox" I am damn serious and this person is telling me that I am using wikipedia for writing my soapbox? I have atleast 10-20 places where I do whatever I want.
Placing such comments are attacks on the editors, if you are not convinced that I was attacked, you can read the comment sitting in my place. You cannot understand the pain/insult till you suffer it.
Hope you can understand!!

Thanks
Thanks for trying to deal with the rather disgruntled Saynotopharmacareer. Obviously there were here to push their POV, which was not going to work in the long term. Add in the language barrier and you get some interesting insults. It was a valiant try to get them to understand the issue. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:18, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
- You're welcome, Gogo Dodo, glad I could be of assistance. I hope this never happens again, or my WikiStress might elevate. He emailed me, so I'm talking to him whenever he emails me back, I'm prepared for when he goes off on me. If you want, I can keep you posted. --Abigail was here :D Talk to Me.
