Thank you for the barnstar! I have indeed been through a lot, and I was just writing my resignation from Wikipedia when I received your barnstar. So now I will call it a break. Even if I never come back (unlikely), this is a good note to go out on! You rock!

Question
I like this color for my signature. Does anyone know how to make it an official signature when signing, or do you have to copy and paste it in each time? But, then, the date and time don't appear if you do that. Hmm. Thanks,

Hi, Daniella, here's another comment I expect you'll want to blank. Using alternative accounts for legitimate purposes is permitted, but using them to mislead is not. Creating a new account to give yourself a barnstar is ridiculous. Please review

- I thought people were innocent before proven guilty, but have been misjudged here yet again. I'm not sure exactly what has been done wrong here. Do you really think there is necessarily one person living in a home where there is only one computer? We have several computers, and any number of people who use them at any time. Why not update your system to that which is more sophisticated so this type of thing doesn't happen? We went through this same stuff with Amazon last year. If I didn't know better, I'd say you're looking for a reason to argue. Peace to you, bro, (talk) (cont)02:07, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

(←) While I'm quite certain those system provide better automation, in this particular case it's human inspection that is the decisive factor; there is no question that a computer that you have used to edit has been used to create that account whose sole actions were to edit a reference then deposit a barnstar on your talk page. As I've said on my talk page, if that really is another member of your household, you should instruct them to not do things like that as they make you appear to be deceptive. — Coren (talk) 02:43, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Flavia C. Gernatt
Hi, Daniella. Just wanted to notify you before I acted on your request. Both articles are fine pieces of writing. However, I have some reservations about the above named one.
I am afraid your actions of inviting me, and other editors to the AfD discussion is a violation of
The proper thing for me to do in this situation would be to ignore your request, but since I have looked, my conclusion is that it should be redirected to her husband's article and I will be !voting that way at the AfD. I see nothing that indicates any notability independent of her husband. I realize that may be sexist, but it isn't me that is being sexist, it is the sources. Find some that talk about her alone (other than her obit) and my opinion might change. I would also suggest that you heed the suggestion you were given and thin out the citations that are mostly about her husband. Perhaps it will be easier to see her notability if it isn't buried in her husband's.
Lastly, trade journals such as Pit and Quarry are seldom reliable sources.
I have come to expect fine writing from you; you do not disappoint. But without the requisite references to show notability, even Mark Twain would not be able to get an article on here. John from Idegon (talk) 06:22, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. This is a reason that I have inquired with you as you have been helpful in giving me suggestions, and you have. I will take all of what you have stated into consideration and see what I can do, (talk) (cont)15:15, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Be advised that archiving or deleting another editor's remark from your talk page is acceptable and considered acknowledgment of those comments. On another subject, please read this. It is a comment from an admin I respect highly to another editor and I think it applies well to your situation too. John from Idegon (talk) 23:22, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
- @John from Idegon: (talk page stalker) "Be advised that archiving or deleting another editor's remark from your talk page is acceptable and considered acknowledgment of those comments." I wholeheartedly agree. However, the user should at least respond to comments (except those in bad faith) when archiving or deleting. Carriearchdale deleted my request for comment as well. [4] To avoid the 3RR, I asked Carriearchdale why she (he?) was reverting with incorrect edit summaries. And I got no response. Piguy101 (talk) 00:04, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Ways to improve Sir Taurus
Hi, I'm Carriearchdale. Daniellagreen, thanks for creating Sir Taurus!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This article has twelve links in the lead of the article. Some or most of the links may be irrelevant and or duplicated.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on
- This horse "biography" isn't too bad for a start-class article, I did some editing on it. The footnoting is pretty random (you don't need multiple footnotes to verify the horse's name), but at least the research is there. You may want to model your article on the flat racing horse "biographies" such as Australia (horse) (for an actively racing animal) or Sunday Silence (for a horse that is deceased). The pedigree table is a good one to learn how to use, that allows you to present bloodlines in a graph format instead of text that reads like the "begats" in Genesis ( smile). Post at wikiproject horse racing if you need help, there are several people who lurk there and are usually willing to lend a hand. Montanabw(talk) 23:41, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Continued difficulty with editor
This is for the record that Carriearchdale has made 5 deletion requests regarding five original photos that I took and uploaded to Wikipedia, and that are currently being used on Wikipedia. She has used unreasonable and irrational reasons for her requests. He/she obviously has nothing better to do. This is ridiculous,
- Can you link? Also tell that what happened to this pic. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 18:18, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- The following is a link to my talk page on WikiCommons: [5]. You should be able to get to each photo from there; if not, I can provide the links to them. User is trying to say that my photos are copyright violations, however they are scans of my originals that I uploaded to WikiCommons. There is no copyright violation. I have noted that on each discussion page, and also on my talk page regarding each photo. Thanks, (talk) (cont)18:36, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- Interesting, certainly the matter is also off en.wiki. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 19:33, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- The image sourcing issues can be solved easily by uploading the back of the print or the original negative. I don't see any indications that the images are copied from somewhere else but it would silence the naysayers if you still have the print. Froggerlaura ribbit 20:16, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

I'd have to go back through my storage and locate the photos and/or negatives. If its that big of an issue and good faith would not potentially be provided to me on this, I'll chance them to be deleted and then re-upload using different titles after going through and locating them in my storage. Really, someone could upload the back of any photo, just to accomplish that task. Most of these photos are digital prints, so I believe I have a negative only of the one with Greiner and Gorski. I'll see if the decision is made to delete them or not first, then decide whether or not to take additional time to locate them again. This editor has concocted whatever "reasons" he/she thinks gives him/her authority, and nearly all of the edits he/she has made to my documents have been reverted by many other editors. So much for good faith. Thanks for the suggestion,
- One of the images is a photograph of a logo, which generally is not OK on Commons, though sometimes they can be used on en.wiki under a fair use license. I have no opinion on the rest. Montanabw(talk) 04:55, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
- The photo of the drawing of horses is most likely problematic. Unless you are the creator of the work of art photographed, it is most likely a copyvio. The others appear to be fine. John from Idegon (talk) 05:22, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

- (From talk at Commons): Hi Daniella. Do you know exactly when the flier was published, maybe in a trade publication with a verifiable date? It's important because if it was published before March 1, 1989, since there is no copyright/trademark notice, it could be included with this tag provided there is no indication of attempt to renew 5 years after. If it was published after March 1, 1989, the rules change because the US adopted the Berne Convention in 1989 which meant company copyright notices were optional and there is assumed copyright for all publications.

Note: The user in question (Carriearchdale) actually responded to me on my talk page at WikiCommons - a first! I believe this response was made after her/his case was closed on the administrative noticeboard here, and which outcome was not favorable to the user. It should be noted that the user stated to me that the outcome of this will not be good for me, with emphasis added on the word directed to me. This can be seen at: [8]. I really have no idea who this user is, nor why he/she is doing this. Clearly, he/she still does not understand the serious magnitude of her/his actions and refusal to understand or improve. I would like to take this time to thank everyone who has been involved in this situation, and who has supported me. It has truly been like nothing I've ever experienced, online, before. As can be observed at WikiCommons, it is continuing there, though I have obtained a great measure of peace in the decisions obtained regarding the user here on Wikipedia. Thank you so much!
A courtesy heads-up
I have just nominated
- I have replied to the editor who made the nomination, and I also commented on the afd page for the article. I've never heard the manner in which I reference called "footnote stacking," but if you have some suggestions on how I can improve on it, I'm open to it, rather than just going for a complete deletion. I'll see what I can do to add to the article, (talk) (cont)19:41, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
- The problem is a lot of the refs you have added are not directly related to the Foundation. They are about the Gernatt's, obituaries of Daniel, speeches about them etc. For a ref to be valid, the article's subject has to be more than a passing mention in the ref. (WP:GNG. It does appear like there is a bit of that here. Thirteen refs are not needed before the article is more than eight words long. One or two to show that the Foundation actually exists is more than sufficient. The other refs should be about showing why the Foundation is actually notable. Why is this Foundation more notable than the thousands of others out there? Right now, I'm not seeing that in the refs provided that actually have the Foundation as their main topic. Hope this helps.

Comments from a talk page stalker
I've been watching your talk page over the last few days, and although I am fairly new myself, I would be glad to help you with what you might need (I would enjoy to collaborate on an article with you, perhaps even the one up for AfD if it does survive, if you'd like).
I'm sympathetic to your issue with Carriearchdale, as she seems to be continually following, harassing, and accusing you and others for no reason at all. I expect she will see consequences, so worry not :) It does also seem that you are being treated without proper accrediting for the work you have done in your first months, much more than I can say I have done in my busy state (in real life). I have learning to do as well, so perhaps this would benefit us both! A few recommendations with formatting to start,
- When you have something to add to your own comments, you can do it the same way that you do to reply to someone else's comment, by inserting the colon ( : ) before the new addition, on the new line, so..
- How you would type it (minus the quotes):
":I am making a comment"
"::I am adding to my comment"
It would appear as,
- I am making a comment
- I am adding to my comment
- When you create an article, people can already see you have done so through the article's edit history, so you don't need to let them know in the talk page!
I hope I've helped, and perhaps we can help each other with things in the future! Take care. FlipandFlopped ツ 23:29, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

I just wanted to reassure you that you can use the colons when you're editing what you've said already, as well, in case you were unaware :) I also did notice what you said to Montana at the AfD, who is an accomplice of mine (I guess I could call him that, lol!), and how you were relatively discouraged. Anyway, to clarify, I would be glad to provide support to you in creating articles wherever I'm needed (if you even want to collaborate), as it's disappointing that what is happening to you is occurring, and it would be a shame if you were scared away from or discouraged by wikipedia because of it.

Many of us get subjected to witless conduct by others sooner or later, and I'm sorry you had to join that number.You've conducted yourself well, though, and that can be very hard to do sometimes. John Carter (talk) 00:05, 11 July 2014 (UTC) |
Thank you so much. Please see my follow-up at your talk page,
- I'd like to echo John Carter's words. I've rarely seen anyone subjected to that kind of vindictiveness in my time here, and you have comported yourself in a very dignified manner in the face of intense provocation. I do hope it hasn't put you off continuing your contributions, and I hope the support you got will help assure you that the community does stand behind its members when they need it. — Alan / Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:44, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your Support - Please Read - My Comments to Jimbo Wales
Something you Should Know
- May I ask you why you think he is "the founder of Wikipedia". QuackGuru (talk) 05:24, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
- Well, according to his 05:32, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
- There is certainly no need to hint at Larry Sanger's increasingly irrelevant grudges here. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 07:35, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
- Well, honestly, prior to yesterday, I didn't know who Jimbo Wales was, nor Larry Sanger. I see on Larry's page that he is the co-founder of Wikipedia - that is awesome. The point is that there were discussions made on Jimbo's talk page that were in relation to what I had recently experienced, and I followed-up with him about it. Simple as that, (talk) (cont)15:18, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for the barnstar, and my apoloies for the delayed response. I think I logged off just before you sent it. And thanks as well for the compliment on Jimbo's page reproduced above. I honestly don't remember seeing anything like that before. John Carter (talk) 16:21, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Time to leave her alone
Please stay off Carriearchdale's talkpage. She's permitted to remove anything she wants from her talkpage, with no need to archive anything. After all, the contents are always in history. I would highly recommend that as it was her interactions with you that eventually led to her indef, that you should stay as far away from her as possible - we often call it "gravedancing", which is never good.
