Help needed.
I am tired of removing vandalism, Page blanking & removal of content from the article Nair. Could you please tell me what I should do in order to stop the frequent vandalism? 116.68.83.134 05:52, 9 May 2009 (UTC) Reply
- Do you mean Wikipedia:Nair? Can you give an example of what sort of removals you mean? Angela 06:14, 9 May 2009 (UTC) Reply

Login Unification and Home Wiki Help
I am in the process of doing the Login Unification, and I received this error... Your home wiki (listed below) is blocked from editing. Please contact an administrator in this wiki to unblock it. While it is blocked, you cannot merge your accounts. Therefore, I am contacting you to see how to change my Home Wiki. It should be USA (since I joined from there) but it has mistakenly assigned me to fr.wikipedia.org . Thanks in advance if you can administrate any help. Oiseau 10:27, 28 August 2009 (UTC) Reply
- You are not blocked under the name 'Oiseau' on either the French or English Wikipedias. Wikipedia projects are divided by language, not location. There's an English-language edition, not a USA one. Angela 01:11, 2 September 2009 (UTC) Reply
Spanish Wiki and English Wiki
Hi there Angela. I'm an editor from the English Wikipedia project, but I read and sometime edit the Spanish Wikipedia pages. I've noticed on the Spanish Wikipedia that they have several links to several tools on a page's history page. You can click to get a list of editors, contribution details, search the history, get general statistics on an article, or check the number of visits to a page. Check out this page . The Herramientas are tools (list of editors, contribution details, and history search), the Estadísticas are statistics (general stats and number of visits). We should add this to our pages too.

- Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals) would probably be a good place to suggest this. Angela 04:09, 17 September 2009 (UTC) Reply
- Thanks! I did that in the end. It turned out that the tools are there; just not in language setting English-GB. I've changed myself to generic English and the tools have appeared. Declan Davis 12:41, 20 September 2009 (UTC) Reply
Request for access to IRC channel wikimedia-checkuser
Hi Angela,
Not sure if this is the right place, but recently I was granted CU status at the Dutch wikipedia (see here). Could you grant me access to IRC channel #wikimedia-checkuser? --Hardscarf 01:39, 30 September 2009 (UTC) Reply
- No, I'm not even in that channel. I suggest asking Mike.lifeguard. Angela 09:14, 30 September 2009 (UTC) Reply
- Ok. I will. Thanks for clarifying. --Hardscarf 12:00, 30 September 2009 (UTC) Reply
Request for changing username
Hi, Angela! I don't know if I'm putting this on the right place, but I'd like to change my username on Meta in order to harmonize it with w:commons:user:zack_wadghiri, w:en:user:zack_wadghiri and w:ar:user:zack_wadghiri. Is that possible?--Discjjockey 21:50, 10 October 2009 (UTC) Reply
Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't see to notice above. I will do so.--Discjjockey 11:22, 11 October 2009 (UTC) Reply
Hello. Who are the bureaucrats here? Because I'd like to know if burgers - like the one I used on Wikia - are allowed here.--Launchballer 13:48, 17 October 2009 (UTC) Reply
- Bureaucrats don't make decisions like that on this wiki. I'm not aware of a signature policy here on Meta, but I would predict that reactions to multiple colors, large boxes, or images in signatures would be the same here as they were on the English Wikipedia when Template:Launchballer was deleted. w:Wikipedia:Signatures is not the policy for all Wikimedia wikis, but I do believe that many people would agree with that policy for other wikis. If you have a look at discussion pages here, such as Wikimedia Forum and Meta:Babel you'll see the type of signatures people use. Even though there's no policy, there's an expectation that people don't do anything too different to the norm, which is just text, with 1 or 2 colors. Angela 15:21, 18 October 2009 (UTC) Reply
Delete request
Hiya, Please delete the page Wikimedia Bangladesh/Online Meeting Etiquettes. It's a typo. See the "etiquette" spelling? All texts are transferred to the page Wikimedia Bangladesh/Online Meeting Etiquette. Thank you! — T@nv!r_ (Talk | Contributions) 15:41, 18 October 2009 (UTC) Reply
- Why not just redirect it? It could help people who search under the misspelt version. Angela 06:23, 20 October 2009 (UTC) Reply
Can you block this user?
Wikipedia User Trevor888 has vandalized many pages, most recently Wikipedia:Backstreet Boys by using terms like faggot and changing pictures. I looked on his talk page and he's been warned a couple of times. I was just wondering if you could block him from editing. Thank you! Cougars2012 04:16, 10 November 2009 (UTC) Reply

User name change
Hi Angela, I am User:Son on en.wikipedia. When I joined Wikipedia in 2005, I chose the name Myselfalso. In around 2007, through proper channels on Wikipedia, changed my username from Myselfalso to Son. I was wondering if I have the ability to change my username to establish conformity between several other projects and Meta-wiki (if the user name is available, of course). What would be the appropriate channels to go through?
Thank you for your time! --Myselfalso 08:43, 17 January 2010 (UTC) Reply
Wikimedia update feed service
Hi Angela, What are the requirements and pricing for obtaining access to the Wikimedia update feed service? Thanks, Tisane 23:43, 25 March 2010 (UTC) Reply
- I don't know if this is being offered anymore. I recommend you contact Kul about that. You can email him through Special:EmailUser/Kul. Angela 00:01, 26 March 2010 (UTC) Reply
- Yeah, Kul says it's not being offered anymore to new customers. Do you happen to know why Wikimedia decided to phase it out? I was wondering in particular if other functionality was developed that served the same purpose; or perhaps Wikimedia simply decided the trouble of maintaining it wasn't worth the money? Thanks, Tisane 01:46, 23 April 2010 (UTC) Reply
- I'm sorry, but I don't know the reasons for that. Angela 01:56, 23 April 2010 (UTC) Reply
