Hello. --badlydrawnjeff talk 03:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Elonka, I just saw your edit to the wikEd page. Actually, the logo should be visible on top of every page, so there might be a program bug or an incompatibility with another script. In order to help me fix that, please could you tell me which browser and which version you are using. Thanks, Cacycle 21:29, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello, Elonka. Just recently looked over some of Izzy Dot comments towards you (from time-to-time, I read up on troublesome Wikipedia editors). He's being blocked was well deserved, I find such behaviour unproductive & insulting. Just giving you my support. GoodDay 23:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Elonka - I was hoping I could interest you in deleting User:Elonka/Work1 now that you've installed it - it's showing up in the FFA category, and I'm having a heck of a time tracking the work on FFAs, with all the templates we've installed. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:30, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Template:WikiProjectBanners. I'll be using talk:Jogaila for the prototyping. Raul654 18:00, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Elonka. Thanks for the heads up. •CHILLDOUBT• 20:00, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Are you kidding? Have you looked at how much time has been wasted on this subject. The thing is a crime against wikipedia ... forcing so many wiki users to waste so many endless hours going over the same points for so little real purpose. That's ignoring all the enmity generated. You're honestly looking forward to repeating this? Now, don't gemme wrong, I'm convinced Jogaila is the best name ... but, for all the waste ... I'd be happy to see Piotrus' current proposal go through and end all the misery. Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 23:53, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
I have no problems with WP:COI inre my revert. I do not need to become further involved as I am on the periphery of the edit regime. I am Recent Change Patrol type editor and do not get involved unless I deem my involvement necessary, i.e., going to one of the admin boards. If you are the subject of the article, my advice to you would be to let the editors who have protected your article or contributed to it, do the reverts so as to avoid conflict of interest considerations. Ronbo76 21:21, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your offer to mediate in the Juice Plus extract/concentrate "debate". You may have noticed that I have (reluctantly) given up on that one. It annoys me still, but there it is. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough that it was about semantics, not science, scientific consensus, who used which word first etc etc. Whatever.
I am still concerned about (1) the ownership issue wrt that article and (2) the evident determination of several people to portray a product as negatively as the rules will allow. NPOV is being breached all the time and no-one can (be bothered to?) enforce it. e.g. I don't understand why it was necessary to restore the controversial subheading re Criticism, but hey ho! It would be a dull world if everyone agreed on everything all the time. TraceyR 00:06, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your words of encouragement on my talk page :-) I shall certainly stick around, but spend much less time checking the activities on the Juice Plus article and more on less controversial subjects! TraceyR 12:44, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
I'll go ahead and relist that one-several of the "keep" arguments were "speedy keep" ones based on invalid reasoning, the article had never been AfD'd before, so I think there is a DRV case to be made. I'm also going to list the unilaterally undone speedies, I was hoping that Rebecca would at least be willing to discuss the matter with the admins that performed the speedies, but it doesn't appear that's going to happen.

Interested in working together again? :) --Elonka 09:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I've now deleted the article. —Pilotguy push to talk 22:04, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Elonka, thanks for the cleanup you've done. The article looks very organized now. However, the phrase "Some of the band's members were orphans of scientists who had died from the results of the Chernobyl disaster" is misleading and incorrect. There is only one member who lost a parent to Chernobyl, and her mother still lives. She would definitely not refer to herself an "orphan". I hope you don't mind that I have edited that reference. Again, thanks for your work! Civ2ru 18:30, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Elonka,
Thanks for adding the image to the Cyrillic Projector article!
Are you folks expecting to get hit with this storm tonight and tomorrow?

Elonka, you left User:Pleclech a kind note a few weeks ago about his work on various financial articles. Afterwards, he got slapped with vandalism warnings from two different editors, VivekVish and Netsumdisc. I came across his page a day or two ago while going through some article edit histories (he turned out not to be the spammer I was looking for). In the process, I looked at these warnings -- both seemed inappropriate, with the VivekVish's bordering on bad faith. I felt bad for Pleclech so I noted my opinions on the talk page for Pleclech and on the talk pages for VivekVish and Netsumdisc
Now VivekVish has taken strong exception to my comments. If you get a chance, can you take a look at the first of those warnings and see if I've called this incorrectly? I don't want to come back swinging if I'm off-base.
Thanks --and if you're busy, I certainly understand. --A. B. (talk) 21:38, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
I have added citations to the Robert D. Arnott page and have removed external links as per Pleclech's previous edits. Any help with rewording would be greatly appreciated. I do not currently see any instances of NPOV violations. VivekVish 01:04, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

There were huge battles at this page almost a year ago. Fans kept sticking lots of fan cruft (junk) onto it. I suppose it could use some sources. The membership list was taken from TAPS website membership roster. Also, Google search "Ghost Hunters SciFi" and the hits will assure you TAPS are notable. And the COI, well, I don't know who started the page. My impression is they are long gone. --- LuckyLouie 17:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Elonka, the article has been on the verge of crisis for a couple of months. I have no doubt mediation will be needed to stabilize the article. As you can see from the Talk page template, WikiProject Paranormal and Wikiproject Rational Skepticism are at odds here. Here are just a few of the concerns with the present article that a number of pro-paranormal editors appear unwilling to address:

Thanks for the comments on my first article. I've followed your suggestion and added some information to my user page - it's pretty minimal but then I'm a minimal kind of guy. Mark aka. Circusandmagicfan 20:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)Circusandmagicfan

The Magic WikiProject looks to me as if it needs a bit of project planning to get it better structured and focused (which is not in any way a criticism of the contributors). I made a few contributions on the discussion page but as I was going along more and more questions were cropping up in my head. I have two main questions here.

Well, I'm kind of in the game development community as well. And what I've seen is a massive shift away from platforms and onto cross-platform development. So many, many games are computer games, video games, and electronic games all at the same time. The CfD people seem to believe that one term can encompass these categories, and I'm inclined to agree. Video game seems the best to most, though I probably would have chosen electronic games. Let's see how it takes for a while, and then if there's problems, maybe that's a possible solution. (As a side note, given our common work subjects, I'm surprised we haven't met or worked on anything together.)--Mike Selinker 18:30, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
I don't want to mark this image for speedy deletion on sight because I know you are working on the article...but it could be easily replaced with a free-er (a.k.a. not taken from a website, but a photo taken by a user) image. Do you have any Juice Plus packaging to do that with? If not, I -might- be able to do it this weekend. --Iamunknown 06:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
For the record, yes, I am commons:User:Elonka. --Elonka 07:27, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry, there has been a terrible misunderstanding here. I have been without the internet since November and I visited the Flashes Before Your Eyes page at the library. I had probably forgotten to close the page and somebody has made edits under my name. I would never just randomly remove trivia. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Anyway, Elonka, I've changed my password so they shouldn't be able to access it again. I think you know I would never be so stupid as to delete trivia without consensus and I'm pretty sure that I'm quite civil :D SergeantBolt (t,c) 12:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
The discussions were in the talk pages of WikiProject Computer and video games, tho by now they're probably somewhere in its archives. My involvement with the games people has just been to the extent that they intersect with stub sorting, so al I can do is lead you in the general correct direction.

(copied from Kirill Lokshin's talkpage) Hello, if you have a moment, could you please take another look at the article? I've attempted to address most of the concerns from the peer review, except perhaps for the request to just plain make the article longer. :) I'm curious though what you think of the current level of citation?
Also, though I'm going to continue to work on expansion, do you think the article currently meets GA status? If so, how would you recommend that I proceed? Do I need to get someone from MilHist to formally check off the items in the WikiProject talkpage banner? Or should I just nominate the article at WP:GA? Or what do you recommend? Thanks, Elonka 09:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Elonka,
Thanks for the note. It actually took more time than I had bargained for to do all that. I'm hoping that other editors will import some of those discussions to that deletion-discussion page for schools (hint, hint!). I'll continue doing some myself, too, as time permits. Always great to get a thank-you, so thanks for that! Best wishes, Noroton 17:30, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for doing the re-write of the section on the Holy Grail for the Knights Templar article. Curiously, just this hour, I had delivered to me a new copy of Volume I of "Lancelot-Grail", which had gone missing after a trip to Southern California. Perhaps the Templars had been hiding the Grail from me? --Petercorless 23:02, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I just want to say--quite seriously--God bless you for opining of B movie, "I personally think the article is a bit over-cited" (and, of course, "I'm simply concerned that the expected 'citation density' for an FA is getting out of hand.") Having been involved in the FA process a few times now, I've learned to over-cite, for reasons abundantly clear. If you ever dare bring an article into the madness of FA with a reasonable, responsible, nondistracting level of citation and could use some support, don't hesitate to call on me. (Having reread the foregoing, I'm terrified to realize that being serious in this context of necessity comes out like a Kafka horror-joke.) Best, Dan.—DCGeist 05:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello Elonka. Since I'm relatively new, I don't want to delete someone's work or propose deletion without asking someone with more experience first. What do you think of Profitip's contributions? They seem like spam to me. Thank you for your help. VivekVish 16:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Elonka,
Thank you for your work at Opus Dei when you put its article history. May I ask a question? Is it right and is there a way to put in the version at that time when it was GA at this date or that date, so readers can click on it and find out what happened since then?

I've really quite admired the resiliance shown recently and for attending to all the boring crap little stuff too.

I've linked some of the images in this gallery as textual links, because they are not compliant with Wikipedia image policy (since they're fair use, they can only be used in articles about the subject of the photo, and not in userspace). Ral315 » 03:29, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

With the greatest respect, your current activities surrounding the Australian student politics pages are, whilst no doubt made with the best of intentions, misguided. As someone who is not an Australian, I understand the reasosn that you do not appreciate the importance, or the complexity, of the internal political nature of the NUS, however, The NUS articles database has been painstakingly created over many years by hundreds of editors, from all factions, to become a genearlly accepted history of the goings on in Australian Student Politics. It must be noted that Australia's NUS, and its predecessor, has no rival in the Western World, and these Wiki pages are the only account we have, and, I must add, an account that has cross-factional support. You will see that, despite the edits through time and occasional disputes, the Liberals, Labor-Right, Labor-Left, Grassroots Left, Independents, Socialist Alternative members who are Wiki editors have all come to an agreement. As is the nature of such things, reliable sources for absolutly every comment may well be difficult to find, however, and if you force us to go and reference every single sentence, the value and credibility of the NUS project shall be destroyed. I recognise that you do this with the best of intentions, and I certainly don't want to sound like I'm saying "leave it to us, we're the important people here, we'll take care of it", however, prod warnings about factions that contain hundreds of members, dozens of full-time paid office bearers, budgets of tens of thousands and have in time contributed to many of Australia's most notable political figures simply because there isn't a reference to thigns in a newspaper, despite the fact that the relevant facts are known to all concerned, is a sure way to lose knowlege. 220.237.125.217 03:51, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Elonka, I followed you here from the mediawiki.org and was very impressed with your writing and dedication/passion for the Wikipedia project. I work on the OrganicDesign:Project which involves development work in a variety of languages and technologies that all integrate tightly with mediawiki and wikipedia. We're working on a lot of amazing new ideas for the next generation of wiki such as p2p-wiki, applicational-content and collaborative organisational tools. But we're all developers and have no one who can present the project in a publically digestable way, so I'd just like to invite you to our wiki to have a look around to see if it catches your interest (please excuse the disorganisation, it's kind of like a busy workshop with a lot of unfinished machinery lying round :-/) --Nad 09:23, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello. Look, I stand by my comment: it is patently absurd to question Danny's contributions to quality articles. There are tons of good reasons to oppose his RfA but this is not one of them and he shouldn't have to stand there and just take blows below the belt. Jtmichcock made a stupid comment, got called on it and then had the nerve to whine about it? Come on Elonka, you're letting your own dislike of Danny cloud your judgment here.
