Editors are human beings who give of their time and talent for FREE. We are NOT perfect so kindly don't treat us as such. Fiona Marissa 18:18, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use edit summaries that are misleading, intentionally or not, as you did at Celtic languages, you may be blocked from editing. Furthermore, read WP:BCE and stop makings edits contrary to policyJeppiz (talk) 14:18, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I refer you to the following, the link to which you so kindly included, "Disruptive editing is a PATTERN [emphasis added] of editing that disrupts progress toward improving an article or building the encyclopedia. The editing PATTERN may extend over a LONG TIME on MANY articles. Disruptive editing is not always vandalism, though vandalism is always disruptive. Each case should be treated independently, taking into consideration whether or not the actions violate Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If an editor treats potentially disruptive situations as acts of vandalism when it's unclear or when it clearly isn't, that editor MAY HARM the encyclopedia by ALIENATING or DRIVING AWAY OTHERS from contributing. This is especially true if the situation involves editors who are new to the project." Good job ALIENATING this editor who had NO such PATTERN. I haven't been back to edit a single entry since your alienating action. "Merry Christmas everyone!" exclaimed Charles Dickens' Scrooge in stave five of "A Christmas Carol."

Well excuse me for making a mistake, for being human. Please stop leaving rude, cold, nasty and accusatory comments. I’ll try to be perfect from here on out. Fiona Marissa 09:04, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

The Real Life Barnstar

Thank you so much for planning Wikipedia Takes Richmond! Wikimedia DC is doing what it can to get people to come out and participate. Unfortunately I'll be running the same event in Baltimore that day but I hope everyone in Richmond enjoys and takes good pictures! Harej (talk) 16:35, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply] Thanks Harej. We are looking forward to it! I might need some assistance jumping through the hoops in uploading the photos, but I'm sure it'll get done. Fiona Marissa [talk]

How was the event today? Harej (talk) 00:07, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I got a few pictures in but the sky was overcast and dark--not so great for taking pictures. I'll upload them later this week and give you a shout out if I need assistance. Fiona Marissa ^[talk]

Hi All, I just read something in an entry and I'm confused by it. The entry appears to need editing, but I can't edit the entry until the facts are clarified. How do I leave a message on that page/entry to ask for explanation from someone who may know the answer? If there were a talk page, I could leave my question there, but there isn't. Thanks!

Why is there a discrepancy between when I first created a Wikipedia user account and when the "system" shows I "registered"? The difference is 2005 vs. 2011. Fionaussie (talk) 17:46, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
