[edit] Thanks!
Hey, thanks for contributing to the Asteroids in astrology page! I really appreciate it.
- Whoa! I just left a message on your talk page, only to find upon saving it you had just left one on mine! — Sam 01:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Gay Tarot.
Sam,
Seeing so many "male" users editing this page, I am surprised that no references are made to the Gay Tarot. No offense intended, nothing wrong with homosexuals, I just feel that the Gay Tarot should be discussed heavily here. Real man (my husband for example) do not show an interest in Tarot.

- I really don't have more than a shallow interest of the topic. I have a tarot deck but don't use it much. I just want the article to be a quality one. Information on the gay tarot would probably need to be on its own article. The tarot article is meant to be a general overview rather than go deep into specifics about each deck. — Sam 03:31, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

"I really don't have more than a shallow interest of the topic" - Then who are you to edit an encyclopedia? What gives you any kind of credibility? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.109.20.38 (talk) 15:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC).
- And who are you to judge me? Do you even know anything of what I contribute? I don't really feel the need to justify my presence here to a rude stranger. — Sam 21:31, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Samuella: I wish you Ill Well.
Let me show you why: "Another problem is that most of the administrators at Wikipedia prefer to exercise their police functions anonymously. The process itself is open, but the identities of the administrators are usually cloaked behind a username and a Gmail address. (Gmail does not show an originating IP address in the email headers, which means that you cannot geolocate the originator, or even know whether one administrator is really a different person than another administrator.) If an admin has a political or personal agenda..." The quote comes from Wikipedia Watch.
Don't hide this. Be a man. Let the world know that other users feel you are scum.
- Um, firstly, I'm not an administrator nor have I ever been one. Second, you are the one posting anonymously here. I don't know why you are so persistent about getting your site included in the external links of an article, or why you continue to pick solely on me. Newsflash: your link has been removed by multiple people who deemed it as spam. Leave me alone. Sam 03:48, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Horoscope
Please don't add references to an article which were not used in the creation of the article. Those are Jyotish references. Jyotish is not even mentioned in the article. Add them to the Jyotish article if they are not there, but please don't add them to Horoscope again. Tunnels of Set 17:47, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- No problem. Sorry for the mistake. Sam 17:55, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for understanding. Now, if someone were to add a section to the article about Jyotish horoscopes, then they would be appropriate. Tunnels of Set 18:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wanted To Ask...
Hi, Sam. This is my first time posting anything on Wiki, so I hope I'm doing this right. I went over and played in the sandbox, and it seemed like I did it right there, so my fingers are crossed...
I was on Wiki today looking for a Tori Amos-related page that I thought used to be here (an article on A Dent In The Tori Amos Net Universe) and couldn't find it. So I popped over to the main Tori page to see if there was a link to it. While there, I noticed that my site -- Undented.com -- wasn't under External Links, but I could have sworn it had been (because I was excited when I first saw it, feeling like the site had "arrived," which made me happy). Since I'd gotten a Wiki account a few weeks ago to add info to the Tori article if I ever needed to, I was able to log in and check the history; I discovered that Undented was removed and added at least a couple of times in recent weeks, most recently being removed by you today. At least, best as I can make out.
Personally, I don't mind if it isn't there. I mean, if someone feels it's important enough to add that's great, but if not that's cool, too. What I don't really understand, though, is why it gets removed when someone DOES add it. Undented is a large news site dedicated to Tori and Toriphiles, and it seems like at least a few people must have felt it was important enough to include. So I was just curious.
At any rate, I mostly want to make sure that the folks at Wiki don't assume it's ME trying to promote the website and blacklist it altogether (I did at least read through a few helpfiles to try to figure out how this works *LOL*). I have no intention of trying to list my own site here. Having an external link to Undented on the Tori page would be wonderful of course, but I want it to be there legitimately. I don't want it there unless OTHER people think it's important enough to add, otherwise there's no point. However, when someone DOES think so and attempts to add it, it would be nice if they actually could. So I just want to go on the record with my personal account and say it's not me or anyone I know trying to add it, and I hope other people adding it legitimately isn't going to result in the domain itself being blacklisted. That would be unfun. So I do appreciate you and other people keeping an eye on this. If you notice any funky problems, I can always be contacted through the website.
Anyways, hope you're having a good one, and sorry for being long-winded. Undented 05:43, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hi there. First let me thank you for being polite and calm about it; you would not believe the kind of nasty words I typically get from enraged webmasters for the removal of their links.
- As far as your link goes, there has been some initiative lately to clean up the external links on the article because so many links are added that really do not contribute anything. In my zeal for a lean and uncluttered external links section I admit I can become too intent on deleting anything added, not because it's anything personal (far from it) but because there are so many people merely wishing to get some free traffic to their website by piggybacking on what is supposed to be encyclopedic content. I recommend bringing it up on the talk page under the existing external links heading. On the talk page multiple users can weigh in on the issue and a decision can be reached. Sorry for the inconvenience and, again, thank you for your constructive attitude. Sam 06:10, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

- I can imagine how hard it is trying to do this. You're very brave. So many people think being online means they have a godgiven right to be rude.
-
- I'll let it sit as is, and if other people think it's important, maybe they can have a chat about it. I don't really feel comfortable going to bat for my own site. That WOULD be begging for promotion. Besides, I had a hard enough time figuring how how to write something on your talk page. heh I do find it interesting that Undented seems to be the only site listed where a reason wasn't given for its removal, though. Maybe I'll ask Plek about it. Or at least ask him/her to list a reason so people can see why it was taken off. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Best, Undented 06:31, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Natal chart
Hi Sam. Thanks for your comments on the talk page. Please don't get frustrated by what is happening - this is a process by which the Wiki ethos of clarity and fairness is seen to be working. I value your contribution. The editor clearly doesn't understand why the link is being removed. Either a revert war takes place until a block is placed on one or more editors, or we go through this open discussion in which it is hoped understanding will emerge. I believe open discussion is better than imposed blocks. Will you continue to help me? SilkTork 22:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- My apologies, but I would rather not involve myself anymore with external links. These kinds of petty disputes drain away energy and time like a hemorrhage. Sam 02:43, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Portal:Astrology
Sorry, takes so long to reply. Astrology WikiProject seems to be pretty inactive, and it's hard to drive a portal to featured status with just couple people. I'll try to help more in the future, right now my focus is Portal:China and Portal:Japan.
Choose any article for selected article... Right now we just need to accumulate the archive. AQu01rius (User • Talk) 16:47, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- Alrighty. Thanks for your help. Sam 22:28, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Interests
Good mix. Linux and poetry. That's interesting. The interests you have seen related - systems and language. Ways of understanding. Cool. SilkTork 00:22, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- Heh, yeah, it's pretty diverse. I've got a growing collection of houseplants (30+). Poetry and technical manuals make quite a mix. Sam 00:44, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sitesled
The article lacks secondary sources, and as it stands simply presents the company and its' products to the reader. Further sources of external information, such as whether Sitesled has been referred to in third party media would greatly improve this article. -- Longhair\talk 00:19, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] AIV
Well I have removed the user since he/she has been inactive for a while and only had one edit today and no recent warnings (i.e today). Generally we block when the user/IP has adequate warnings and vandalizes past the last warning within 24 hours. Cheers keep up the good work. ~ Arjun 20:54, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- She has vandalized within the past 24 hours. She removed it once again less than an hour ago. I have asked her repeatedly to stop yet she continues. Sam 20:56, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Astrologer
Hi Sam, thanks for your kind comments - there is so much basic information still missing! May I make a suggestion about your astrologer article? Why don't you put in a table on the same lines as the astronomer article with a list of ten or so famous astrologers and a few words about them. It doesn't matter if people don't agree with your choices - that would generate a debate. It would demonstrate the worth of the article and stop the redirects. Neelmack 19:54, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, the astrology content here is so lacking. I may expand the astrologer article a bit just to give it a base from which to improve. Perhaps we can get more people over on the Wikiproject to give us a hand. — Sam 21:45, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please be more careful
Please be more careful and stop erasing so much info from the astrology article -- many of your edits are very counter-productive as you have deleted MUCH valuable material from the article, including the ONLY reference to the astrological aspects that was found on the page. --172.162.128.195 11:33, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- The only edits I have made to astrology recently have been attempts at improving the text's style and cleaning up the see also length, so I assume that "much material in the article" is referring to the see also entries. That section has been in need of a trim for quite some time, and I'm not the only one who feels that way. I wrongly assumed aspects had already been linked as most other technical terms had too. I stand corrected. — Sam 12:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks!
Nice to meet you, & thank you very kindly for inviting me, when I have more time I'll learn about the WikiProject Astrology & join! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by IdLoveOne (talk • contribs) 01:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] User is a vandal
Hello.
You recently edited User:Nforbes's userpage, who is a friend of mine. You removed the Wikiproject Astrology userbox for absolutely no reason other than it "seemed" like he was not contributing.
Mr. Forbes does more to help that project than any other Wikipedian by far. You're a pompous asshole.
--HansWReiser 00:38, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- What are you talking about? He hasn't made any edits to any astrology pages. I removed it because he treats the project like a joke. He is not a member of Wikiproject Astrology and yet finds something amusing about using its userbox. Say what you want, but I take the project seriously, and would like others to do the same.
- "Mr. Forbes does more to help that project than any other Wikipedian by far." Are you kidding me? Most of his contributions have been to his own userpage. — Sam 00:46, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
