[edit] A Fond Hello
If you're an idealist, I'm a cynic. I've recently run into several people on wikipedia that are not vandals but what I feel are a bigger threat to wikipedia, people that truly believe they are right. Anyway, although we've never crossed paths (I stumbled upon your page via the trifecta userbox, in case you were curious) on an article, I enjoyed your user page (although I thought the daily deeds section was a bit spurious) and felt compelled to leave a comment. It's clear to me that you don't think of yourself as a leader, at least not any more than being a mother implies, but to simply refer to you as leading by example doesn't sufficiently capture it. Perhaps it is better put by Ray Kroc when he said, "The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves." Here's my thanks to you, not for raising the standards of articles but of Wikipedia.

[edit] Help?
Hi, Catherine, I'm sorry to trouble you, but one of my nicest knitting articles, Sweater design, is up for deletion and I need help in understanding the reasons for that and how I might amend the article. One thing that leaps out is that I should replace "The knitter should" with "The designer generally" everywhere. :( You're a fellow knitter, a good writer and a super-experienced Wikipedian, someone who knows both the spirit and policies of Wikipedia; I'm really hoping that you can help me to understand the objections and salvage the article. It all comes on a bad day for me; I'll reply as I can. Many heartfelt thanks and happy New Year, Willow 12:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Action requested
Hi Catherine. I've really appreciated what you've done for me before in the past, so I feel the need to alert you to the fact that the Image:DuranDuran UK PressKit 2003.jpg image has been threatened with deletion unless you can posit an argument as to why it is irreplacable. I'm sure it is, so I wanted you to know this so you could indicate on the image information page why it is that the image cannot be substituted with a "free use" one. Thanks and I'm funneling lots of positive vibes your way. (Krushsister 04:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC))
[edit] God bless you, Catherine!
Thanks to your assistance I was able to gather the five signatories minimally recommended before a proposed Wikiproject can become "live"! So if you go to Wikipedia:WikiProject New Wave music, you will see the actual Wikiproject page. You are SO, SO awesome! Next up (*laugh*) -- I need advice on where to stick information located on the "trivia" section on a main article's body. So sorry. You're the most helpful, awesome WikiExpert I know, so....

[edit] Owned picture of legislator; uncertain license, any ideas?
I received an award about a year ago from Dr. Alma Adams (American Legacy building in Washington DC), and have picture with her in them. I noticed that there isn't one of her. I can crop her out, but I'm not familiar with what, if any, copyright/licensing terms apply to this image. Any ideas? Should I post it, or is uploading it something illegal that I'd be blocked for?

[edit] Yet again, Help please
I've been harassed by this User, and I wondered if you could either block him from editing my page, or even ban him if it seems necessary (but I suppose, I shouldn't be the one to make that decision). Here's the user: User talk:LatelMan, and he's also posted on my Talk Page (the last two sections). Thanks a lot. Jay 04:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- I actually just noticed you've been vandalized by him too, hope he gets sorted out. Jay 04:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] AfD nomination of Serious (Gwen Stefani song)
An editor has nominated Serious (Gwen Stefani song), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Serious (Gwen Stefani song) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

[edit] Live From London Link
Hey Catherine, I was wondering if there is an actual DD LFL page. If one clicks on the link from their discography, a link to the iTunes LFL series pops up instead. Any ideas? RetsRÖftsugua 09:57, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Request for adminship
I just lost an election for adminship because I'm a new user. I got my account less than a month ago. I am upset with this. I got advice from two users. They said ""I should edit more and I have to wait longer to be an administrator". Can you ask me "Why I didn't get to be an administrator"? Talk to me on my user page please!

[edit] Wikipedia portal
Hey Catherine. I want to redesign the Wikipedia portal. It will look like a wiki if I redesign the Wikipedia portal. Any advice please?--Jet123 01:17, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you Catherine!
It is great pity to lose the hard work on the Duran Duran discography page but I understand the reasoning behind this situation. I am so sorry that I put those images there but I thought that it would be more attractive. No worries, it is superfluous to have them there anyway.
I will help to take the images away but still keep the singles discography clean and tidy! I would really appreciate your help! Thank you for being so polite and gentle towards me, you don't get that often! God bless!! DuranDuran 15:37, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Duran Duran is my favorite group, so i will always be there to make there page and other articles better!! I have deleted the images on the discography and tidied it up. Hope that it is better! Thanks for everything!DuranDuran 17:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Gloss!' is false! :-(
Thanks for telling me! I am a great fan and was so excited but I thought that it sounded too feminine! If you ever get the title please tell me! regards. DuranDuran 16:21, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
