Hello, Miranda. I heard you make WikiAds, could you please make one for WP:DEORPHAN? We need one. Thanks. Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 03:49, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the heads up on working further on the article for The Orange Peel. I have already added more content and I feel it is much better now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iderek (talk • contribs)
Sometime in the next day or two, I'd like to create your RfA. Do as you wish with it (preferably that means transclusion after acceptance) but remember that adminship is no big deal, RfA is not the big deal its made out to be, and the tools will help you edit. And it won't take time away from your other work unless you chose it to following the principle that the use of the buttons are voluntary. Okay? Keegantalk 06:57, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Just wanted to respond to your "reasoning" for deleting the "Lizz Robbins" page, which you were successful at doing, it is in the process of being recreated. I did read the pillars carefully, which I wasn't aware of, but now I am, thank you for that reference. However, after reading it, there are quite a few pages that have the same subject that are still a part of wikipedia, what I see is that the page basically needs to be redone to fit the Wikipedia standards. My question to you is if this page was not connected to "Alpha Kappa Alpha", would you have even nominated it? Also, yes I did notice that you edited every AKA page, are you a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.? Some of the information on all the pages you edited need to be tweaked as well, some of the information should not be included on there. Again, I understand the reasoning that you nominated it (reading like a resume, etc.), however, why wouldn't you reach out "in good faith" and assist a fellow member on how to list the page correctly like some of the other "Models" (i.e. Buffie the Body, Tomika Skanes, etc.) Thanks for your time. God Bless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Knicksfan4ever (talk • contribs) 17:50, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Why is the article about other models included, and not me?
And, now due to consensus, I have nominated this page for speedy deletion, due to criteria #4 Miranda 22:52, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
If you do your research most entertainment articles read like a resume. It is easy to assume that you are a member of the sorority because of the great interest you've taken in it, for the most part only members or potential members have access and/or interested in all the detailed information you've written about the sorority. I have not seen any major edits you've done for any other sorority besides Alpha Kappa Alpha. Some of this information comes straight from our history book unlike the Delta Sigma Theta history book, the AKA History book is not available to the public. The article will continue to be posted and updated according to Wikipedia's guidelines and I continue to learn more about Wikipedia. You seem so determined in keeping it deleted which is why I think your intentions are based more on just what you have previously stated and not based on good faith. If that's the case you would be nominating just about every page for deletion.Knicksfan4ever (talk) 00:06, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
There are quite a few pages that don't adhere to that MOS looking at the link you provided but a lot of newbies are not aware of that, nor does it seem that anyone is willing to assist them with how to correctly write an article they just delete it. Which to me is not fair. If you took a look at every entertainment article on Wikipedia, the majority of them do read like a resume (i.e., past history, credits, future work, experience, etc.). I still don't understand your justification.
You seem to be an expert at this looking at your numerous awards and edits are impressive. A lot of other information could be added to the Delta Sigma Theta page as well. Alpha Kappa Alpha's main history book nor it's bylaws are not available in libraries or for sale to the public, but "In Search of Sisterhood" by Paula Giddings of Delta Sigma Theta is. I'm following them just like I've instructed some other sorors including a chapter president to make sure that the information is correct, accurate and up to date so the sorority is not misinterpreted by someone who is not a member. Again, both pages have significantly improved since your edits, so kudos to you on those.Knicksfan4ever (talk) 00:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
No it's not, anyone has access and can join wikipedia, which some of my sorors have and they will correct, edit etc, what they see fit, they are members, if the information is not up to the Alpha Kappa Alpha Standards, the page can be disputed if need be. With the community access, just like you felt the need to access and check my edits, the same can be done with your edits especially when it pertains to a members only organization (i.e., you can't access the members page of Alpha Kappa Alpha's national website). Again, with your interest it seems to be more than just curiousity. Don't know which history book you are referring to, I'm positive it's not the official book, maybe you've "borrowed" it from someone. Not focusing the attention on you again, I think it's more to it and not in good faith. Just my opinion, not personal towards you.
Yes, some entertainment articles are an overview of the persons life and others read like resumes. Unless you have been through over thousands of the articles listed on wikipedia you cannot make that assumption period. I have read the welcome message and I am digesting the way this works. I'm trying to figure everything out, you're the expert. About 2 people initially responded to the deleted page, but since I've brought it to the forefront more people have become interested, most of them seem to be in your circle, so I'm sure they aren't going to assist me or give me any favorable opinions, which is unfortunate. There are people that are/were very interested in that article and plan to rework and rewrite as they see fit, just like with any other article on Wikipedia. Have you ever read Andie McDowell's bio? Her article shows you what people can do when they edit and it's really unfortunate when it's malicious. Again, the Lizz Robbins entry did not come to you out of the blue, you found it while attempting to edit the Alpha Kappa Alpha sisters page.Knicksfan4ever (talk) 03:05, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Not speculating, I've already come to a conclusion. No you're right, there is no ownership (the film makers of "Stomp The Yard" thought they could just use fraternity symbols as well), however, anyone can make edits, changes, etc. Since you do not have access to our bylaws, etc, you have no idea the regulations, rules, etc. that are included and the ownership, copyrights etc, that Alpha Kappa Alpha has over the use of it's name, images, etc. You're making it seem really serious, which futher leads me to the conclusion that you've very interested in becoming a member of a BGLO. You've made edits to every BGLO on here. Even some of Alphas and Kappas that I know are reviewing the pages. Again, you are one person and are not the final say on who or what can be included on Wikipedia. It is an array of subjects and just like someone commented to me it doesn't matter how "major" or how "minor" something is, they love to come to Wikipedia to find out more information about that subject when they can whether it's egg shells or oysters. Not trying to turn this into a battle, just stating the facts. Not upset about you deleting the page, the internet is a wonderful source for research, etc., if need be, this page will continue to get updated as more people get involved in the cause.
Pearls of Service is not the official book, it was written because the 26th Supreme Basileus wanted a comprehensive source document in place as a ready reference for planning and marketing Alpha Kappa Alpha’s Centennial. Yes, that book is available to the public, the sorority wants non members to experience and learn about the rich and wonderful history of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Thank you.Knicksfan4ever (talk) 03:47, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Neither will I, but I will make revisions to something that I do know and have known for over 10 years. It would be scary if I wasn't a member of the orginization. It is scary that you aren't a member of any BGLO and show so much interest.... Goodbye to you. Need to start working on edits and starting new pages... Take Care and God BlessKnicksfan4ever (talk) 04:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
I posted a Wikistalking of Miranda warning on Knicksfan4ever's talk page. Hopefully, that will end the matter. If not, please let me know. -- Jreferee t/c 08:11, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Joanna Mary Berry Shields, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: User:Miranda/sandbox/sandboxf. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 07:22, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Why did you have your page deleted? Are you leaving? IF the answer was yes, please don't, we need great people here! <DREAMAFTER> <TALK> 01:18, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
If you reconsider, drop me a note on my talk page and I'll see if I can help out with any of these problems. Tim Vickers (talk) 23:23, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Please stay. I have suggested relisting them separately. See my comment on the afd page. I know you do not agree with everything I have said previously, but i have been trying to give the best advice I could, and i would certainly be able to support many of the article--and so would others. Please stay and defend them properly. There is an obvious injustice being done in considering them together. It is never the best course to leave, rather than to stay and try for the best possible compromise. Protest does better if one stays and continue it in appropriate ways. Some of this should be on wikia, and some on Wikipedia. You are doing an injustice to the memory of these pioneers if you do not do the best for them possible. I have the highest possible respect for Tim. Please contact him and consider his suggestions. You can reach me by email if you like. DGG (talk) 02:07, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Please stay. I understand your frustration. I supported keeping the articles on the sorority and individuals, and have some ideas for how to strengthen this article (and they relate to articles on individuals as well), found a few more sources (although don't have most of the books, but there is a recent one that looks perfect) and rewritten the first paragraph in a direction that may strengthen it. Will work on more this weekend, but wanted to let you, futurebird, CJ and others know, so you could see if it is along the lines you're thinking of. (Will check other names from the RfD too.)--Parkwells (talk) 15:55, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
I've restructured this article and added some new info that might be a useful model for others working on the founders of Alpha Kappa Alpha. Added a couple of new sources and found another academic one that may be useful. It's taken a while, but could be easy to adapt for others. Mostly I tried to make it more like resumes.--Parkwells (talk) 18:17, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Excuse me - I don't think you can summarily delete tags for deletion. Cbdorsett (talk) 15:17, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
I have nominated Rosetta Burke, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rosetta Burke. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Hey Miranda. This may seem a bit odd or unwarranted to you, but I’m here to apologise. Having looked back, I noticed that I’ve always been a bit abrupt, harsh, whatever you want to call it, with you, both on wiki and on IRC. For that I would like to apologise. You are one of the few people on this project who have this encyclopaedia’s goal at heart…and not Veropedia’s. Keep it up :) Cheers, — Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 05:10, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Can I address comments in the Knitta link you put on Lara's page? I've never been to GA, so I don't know if these questions are rhetorical or not, haha. the_undertow talk 22:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

First, the picture was placed in the section "How a case moves through the Court". What exactly did that picture have to do with that? Nothing whatsoever; that was why I decided it did not belong in that section. Second: it was not a picture of, as you describe in my talk page, "a sitting President and Vice President with members of SCOTUS", so please do not mischaracterize it. They were not sitting President and Vice-President at the time of the meeting. Thirdly, adding a picture is as much a "drastic" and "opinionated" change as it is removing it, especially when it is added to a section with which it has nothing to do. So, why should the return to the status quo ante require a discussion, but the addition of extraneous material (however rare) not require it? I'm perfectly happy to discuss it in the talk page: please explain what it has to do with how a case moves through the Supreme Court, or what it adds or does not add to the article.
