Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Regarding your WT:MfD post, this is the sort of thing I was talking about in my reply.

And please don't agitate for discussion of serious misbehaviour to be shut down before it's really begun.

“In light of the confidential information at OTRS, which appears intended to prove the lecturer claim”. As I pointed out elsewhere, the OTRS information is not intended to prove the lecturer claim. He has already admitted he made his employment as a lecturer up. The 'occupation' relates to his claim that he is currently employed as a biochemist. He has also submitted evidence of his BSc, but that was never in dispute. Peter Damian ( talk) 07:21, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

There are hundreds of articles referencing Weber being one of only the two non reporters seeing the files prior to publication of the panama papers. Google for yourself. In addition, as a professor, it is a very big deal to be quoted in research or investigative journalism, and his own school wrote an entire item on it published yesterday. You can see it here: http://www.rhsmith.umd.edu/news/panama-papers-reveal-global-network-secret-accounts
In addition, you can take a look at his bio page, which is now referencing the very "peripheral" items that you think are not a big deal. They are. http://www.rhsmith.umd.edu/programs/executive-education/who-does-it/meet-our-facilitators/david-weber JackinMD ( talk) 16:19, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi,
You may have missed my reply or not had the time to respond yet, so I'm copying it below for your consideration. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Would like to hear your thoughts before I enter my significant corrections for consideration on the TWA Flight 800 Talk page.
--- Hi Mendaliv, thanks for looking back at my past effort. Was "getting the truth out" my language? If so, I can see how it could be misread. My goal then, as it is now, was to make that page accurate and maintain a NPOV. I'll take your advice by expressing my concerns on the Talk page, and I definitely will not insert any "fringe" material. I hope you may be willing to monitor my efforts on that page to help ensure no such material is inserted, and if possible, it would be helpful if you could provide any example of fringe material that you believe I have pointed out, so that I can specifically avoid that/those areas. ---

Thank you for uploading File:UIUC seal.svg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Dear Mendaliv,
I hope you're enjoying 4th of July (it looks like it will rain where I am, sadly). As suggested to me by Dweller, I wanted to reach out to you as a community member who believed I was not yet ready last year for adminship.
I clerk for SPI, and the tools would greatly assist my work there - being able to block socks, view deleted pages, and merge casepages would cut down on bureaucracy, considering I currently have to flag cases for admin attention (where they often remain for days). after further prodding from colleagues, I am preparing for another run.
Since last year, I've gotten involved in AFD nominations and discussions, and have maintained a CSD log detailing my work. Among my content work, I have written 1995 CIA disinformation controversy and gotten it to GA, gotten Operation Infinite Reach to GA and then FA, and heavily expanded Carré d'As IV incident to GA status (plus DYKs for all three). I've also conducted copyediting for the WP:GOCE. My SPI work includes nearly 200 cases filed for registered users alone; examples of cases I've clerked/filed are: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ashishchopra778, Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/OfficialPankajPatidar, and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Motivação. Some more details on my preparations may be found on my talkpage.
I appreciate your feedback and thoughts.
All the best,
GAB gab 21:26, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
So, I'll say that preliminarily, I don't see any reason that I'd oppose. But I'll definitely take a closer look when I have more time and let you know. Again, good call on reaching out. In law, the phrase grasp the nettle gets used to refer to this kind of problem solving, where you boldly and directly seek to address the problems in your case. Sadly, I can't remember what judge or justice popularized the phrase, but I think it applies quite well to what you're doing here. Well done! —/ Mendaliv/ 2¢/ Δ's/ 19:05, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

The fact that you do not know a rule does not mean that it does not exist. It is wrong to act upon that assumption when performing an admin’s task. Yecril ( talk) 09:10, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
You were recently listed as a party to or recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Conduct of Mister Wiki editors.

User:CESchreyer absolutely butchered your AFD by inserting their comments randomly throughout it. I've done the best I can do undo the damage but you might want to take a look at your initial statement to make sure nothing got lost. Sorry about this. -- Tarage ( talk) 05:56, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello Mendaliv, thank you for reviewing those three sources, I appreciate that a lot. I was writing a reply to you in the AfD discussion, but then got into an edit conflict with the closing admin. Still, because you at least deserve a decent answer for your efforts (and also not to let my own efforts go to waste), I'll put it here, with your permission.
I have to agree with you about one thing: the coverage in those three sources is indeed not very much in-depth. They do provide quite some info, but what they lack is an analysis of the subject. Even so, I've carefully read the policy links you provided, and still do not entirely agree with your interpretation. First of all, unless there is a difference between "non-trivial" and "significant", coverage in these sources can definitely not be called trivial. The publishers (a university and two scientific periodicals) are undeniably reliable, and the authors are independent from the subject: Věra Barandovská-Frank is an internationally acclaimed scholar in the field of interlinguistics (unconnected to the LCS), and although I don't know anything about Mrs. Shuvalova, she seems to have rather respectable credentials as a scientist as well. I'd say that these examples of non-trivial coverage, in combination with some of the newspaper articles etc., should be just enough to tipple the balance when it comes to WP:SIGCOV, although admittedly it would still be a borderline case.
The problem with our debate is that the issue of notability got completely mixed up with the (rather deplorable) state of the article itself. Therefore, the outcome is not surprising, although at this point I think merge-and-redirect would have been a better solution than keeping or deleting. I genuinely believe a better article would have been possible, and I have even considered drafting an alternative version myself. Because you see, even though I may not be neutral myself, I'm still able to write a fairly decent, neutral article. But don't worry, I won't even try! I rarely write articles here anyway, since my English is not good enough for that. And please note, my participation in the discussion (or in any other deletion discussion I've ever participated in) was not because of personal involvement, but merely out of a feeling of responsibility for the conlang section as a whole, which is what I've been doing here for over 13 years now. Hope I'm not sounding too apologetic now!
At last, let me apologise for being too harsh in my judgment of your actions. I know I've taken a few things too personally when this whole thing started, which kinda got me going (that's just my weak point: if there is one thing I can't stand, it's when people question my integrity), and I've said a few things I shouldn't have. Sorry for that! Best regards, — IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 21:51, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Mendaliv! Just wanted to say I always find your input at AN/I helpful, if even I disagree with them sometimes. Wishing you a happy new year. Alex Shih ( talk) 13:30, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Mendaliv, thanks for helping to clear ANI of old closed threads. Please remember however that closed threads should not be one-clicked archived until at least 24 hours after the close. (This allows all interested editors enough time to view the close, no matter what their time zone, work schedule, sleep schedule, or login schedule is.) To accurate gauge whether at least 24 hours has passed since the close, Google utc time, and subtract one day from that (remembering to add 12:00 for PM times), and don't archive any threads closed after that time. Thanks very much, Softlavender ( talk) 13:56, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello, Mendaliv. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Fred Gottheil".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot ( talk) 20:01, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
