You'll be very much missed, Rubywine. It's so fucked up that a valuable editor like you should be driven off Wikipedia. Please consider taking a break instead of leaving for good.
Thank you so much for all your work! --Sonicyouth86 (talk) 16:43, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, I was looking forward to working with you on the FGM page. I understand how frustrating things can get on Wikipedia, I almost quit after my recent experiences. Having Jakew waste a month of my time for an obvious edit, and then seeing Ironholds call me an idiot on Henrietta's talk page, I had had enough without even being here that long. But once I logged back in and decided to start over and got the positive response I got from you, I realized that not all experienced Wikipedia editors (or admins) are a bunch of assholes who disregard all the guidelines and break the rules. I too hope you'll reconsider. Vietminh (talk) 03:45, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes! Working within the confines of "assume good faith" and "be civil" is exhausting in some areas, and a break can be needed. I'm hoping Rubywine will express an opinion on the many changes that have occurred to the FGM article (which have led to its consideration as a featured article).

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!
It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!
Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you! SarahStierch (talk) 04:32, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Orphaned non-free media (File:Majorgeeks.logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Majorgeeks.logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:01, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
WikiWomen's Collaborative
WikiWomen Unite!
Hi Rubywine! Women around the world who edit and contribute to Wikipedia are coming together to celebrate each other's work, support one another, and engage new women to also join in on the empowering experience of shaping the sum of all the world's knowledge - through the WikiWomen's Collaborative.
As a WikiWoman, we'd love to have you involved! You can do this by:
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Wgolf (talk) 03:55, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/QuuxPlayer (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
