Allie's still RL'ing, but the note should still be on her page when she gets back :) SirFozzie (talk) 05:48, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured, but it's not a high-intensity note; if it was more important, I'd figure out at least some way to get a hold of her rather than her talk page. ;) EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:41, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, guys ^_^ - Alison ^❤ 06:51, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I've proposed a new project dedicated to starting and translating missing articles from other wikipedias. It is intended to be partly missing encyclopedia articles project and partly translation project. Both the previous project fizzled out but the main objective here is to draw up a full directory of missing articles from each wikipedia by language.

		The Admin's Barnstar
		Who's awesome? You're awesome! You're such an awesome administrator cum checkuser! Seriously, I don't know how Wikipedia would do without you. Have a great weekend! Dave1185 (talk) 16:09, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Dave :) I've not been a checkuser in six months, though, and am mostly retired now - Alison ^❤ 06:48, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Can you or someone with OTRS access fix this article according to Allison's wishes listed on the talk page. I feel that OTRS are kind of more, erm, "experienced" in dealing with these matters. Thanks.

Hi Miranda. I'm retired now but as it's a serious BLP magnet and as I've OTRS access, I'll see what I can do. The article has had issues in the past and I remember being involved before - Alison ^❤ 06:50, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. <3

Still nice to see you pop in every now and then... :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 11:45, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Alison, glad to see you're still semi active. I'm not sure if you remember me but our paths crossed in less than favourable circumstances last year where you blocked my account GreenLightGo for sockpuppetry. I've since rebooted and have been working away using this account. I'd like to ask you to review me here Wikipedia:Editor review/GainLine as youre a very well respected editor and I think I can rely on you for impartial feedback (Ie. warts and all if necessary!). If you're unable to I fully understand. Thanks in advance! GainLine ♠ _♥ 16:33, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Was WikiDon kicked off Wikipedia? I was going to send him a message re: his edits to East Germany at the Olympics. He added 16 sources to a single sentence! I think we can safely say that's going too far -- even for Wikipedia! He's obviously misinterpreted the purpose of this site's sourcing policies. Someone should tell him, if he's still out there... Cheers, ask123 (talk) 17:36, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

		The Retired Barnstar
		A posthumous acknowledgment of your tireless efforts after you offically "retired" - so would it really be post-tired?!?! For your contributions to wikipedia and for your help, thank you! Tiggerjay (talk) 04:13, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

rofl!! Glad you haven't disappeared completely. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:30, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Good to see you back to editing. JoshuaZ (talk) 17:33, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Joshua :) - Alison ^❤ 08:22, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Welcome back, Allie :) —Dark 07:25, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Not allegededly leaked, actually leaked. The results of the tests were leaked. Critics all over the press are angry that it was leaked, but do not deny that those were actually the results of the tests. Unless you can cite something that cites someone connected with the case, Semenya, her family, the IAAF, anyone, who says that the actual results were not leaked, or that the information in the leak is false. I can find many citations that they were not properly made public, but none that they were not the actual test results. Chrisrus (talk) 04:36, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Well yes, it was actually leaked. However, the contents of the original tests are, and remain, speculation at this time. Absence of denial of the contents of that leaked report do not indicate acceptance and really make no statement as to the veracity of their claims. It's not the place of Wikipedia to interpret those speculations as posted in the Telegraph and nor do I have to cite a denial from Ms. Semenya or her representatives to indicate that it may be false. Innocent until proven guilty, an' all that. This is a person's life and a fundamental facet of her identity that we're playing about with her and it behoove us to

bear that in mind when we edit. We're not in the game of promulgating speculation re. leaked documents when it comes to a serious BLP issue. Leave that to the tabloids and wait for confirmation of some sort from the IAAF or some other reputable body - Alison ^❤

07:29, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your knowledgeable additions to the talk page. I was operating almost entirely from a "gut feel" that most of what was appearing in the press was not appropriate for a BLP. Somehow, slavering over the details of a person's anatomy, internal or external, has always stuck me as akin to pornography. Yours was by far the better rationale. // BL \\ (talk) 15:29, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Bielle. It's pretty-much common-sense, really. I've tried to stay out of the whole matter but couldn't hold back any longer against what I saw was rapidly becoming a serious BLP issue. I've only just read the pronoun nonsense on that page, also promulgated by Chrisrus, and am simply shocked by it. It's disgraceful - Alison ^❤ 18:02, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

I think I have run out of shock with respect to the positions taken by various editors on a whole range of Wikipedia topics. (I did stutter a bit over the "it" suggestion on that page.) Fortunately, most ignorance is shown up for the silliness or nastiness that it is before being enshrined in an article. Most, but not all. // BL \\ (talk) 02:27, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

		The Original Barnstar
		For putting up with constant nonsense and continuing your tireless efforts on BLP-related subjects. Keep up the good work! –Juliancolton | Talk 14:06, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks, Julian :) - Alison ^❤ 19:56, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

So, how's that wikibreak going? ;) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:42, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Very well, thanks, Fv ^_^ It's been six months and I dunno quite why I'm here right now - Alison ^❤ 00:48, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Great to see you around again! :) NW (Talk) 00:45, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks :) I'm taking it easy but we'll see how things go. I'm really only just here for BLP stuff and for playing about with articles I like. Nothing big at all. I'm not really back as an admin - Alison ^❤ 00:48, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

That you are "back"... I guess I'm a little late to the party, but welcome back anyways! --Jayron32 00:44, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

heh - thanks :) - Alison ^❤ 00:48, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Likewise. Welcome back, even if it's only the shadow of the former presence. -Jeremy ^{(v^_^v Tear him for his bad verses!)} 02:01, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Yaaaay! \o/ -- Luk ^talk 10:15, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Little late to the welcome back party, but... yeah! =D -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:06, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

[snip]

Nice to see that I'm welcomed back with open arms, Jeremy David Hanson^pwn. Yeah, I checked /b/. I seriously think it's time to get over your pervy obsession with me, though, and go fap to something else - Alison ^❤ 01:07, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Geez, Allie, with the amount of fapping he does to you, you think that his tallywhacker would have fallen off by now? *grins*. SirFozzie (talk) 02:38, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

BWAHAHAHA!!! ^_^ - Alison ^❤ 02:40, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Funny, the first time I read the thread title, I thought he said

this, which made me think "What a rude thing to say about such a serious disease." Then I read it again. Anyhoo, he's nothing if not funny. --Jayron32

03:12, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

It's pretty rude anyways, given it's

a term no longer used. But whatev. I think he secretly gets off on it, y'know ... only it's not so secretly now. I lol'd ^_^ - Alison ^❤

03:17, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

I not only lol'd... I

lulzed. I always wondered what happened to those kids after their 15 minutes of fame ended. Guess now we know. (and knowing's half the battle!) SirFozzie (talk

zOMG - one of them's called

Zac Hanson. I know that name from somewheres ... - Alison ^❤

Way to violate rules one and two there Alison, glad to see another /b/-tard among the ranks of the wikipedians though.--

^Speak.
