Your VandalSniper application has been approved. Please let me know if you have trouble getting it working. -- Chris (talk) 12:58, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your message. I've copy-edited and commented on the lead. I think that the prose has quite a way to go before being "compelling, even brilliant", as required of FAs. Can you find someone who's relatively distant from the topic to collaborate with you? I have a secret list of good copy-editors on WP; haven't you? Tony 13:23, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding my RfA, I would like to thank you for voting. Although you opposed my RfA, thank you for letting me know what points you feel I should work on. I wasn't really too suprised when my RfA didn't pass, nor am I disappointed. I will keep trying to do my best here at Wikipedia and I hope you will vote again on my next RfA.

Greetings, Wisden17. Just a quick note to thank you for your support at my Request for Adminship, which succeeded with a final tally of (67/0/0)! Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have suggestions or requests - either of an admin nature or otherwise! :) |
I'm at summer school, researching suicide for a class, and where do I turn but wikipedia? And who do I stop to send my love to but you? So, again thanks for formatting my talk page:
Niki Whimbrel has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{ subst:smile}}, {{ subst:smile2}} or {{ subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!
Me? Having fun? The class is called American Problems, and it details the legal system--we had a group project, with each group taking a different crime. We chose suicide. Yes, I am enjoying the class, but summer school is hell, as is the 100 degree heat. And you? If it's cooler by you, I'm taking a week off work to visit. And I do like the userpage--I wish I were skilled enough to do more than a userbox chain. Any advice you have on that's loved.
I noticed your comment about my nominationa as mediator. Anyway, just letting you know that my blocks were not justified and the 2nd block was a clarification by the blocking admin who admit the first block was a mistake. For more info, see my block log. Thanks-- Bonafide.hustla 01:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi WD. The members of the mediation started out pretty good, but we've definitely lost the virtue of brevity in our discussions--- myself as much as anyone. :) Anyway, given that, I just wanted to point you to a part of the discussion that Thomas has called the "crux of the matter"-- and I agree with him that it's certainly our biggest stumbling block, so I labelled it so it'd be easier for you to to find. Look forward to your input :) -- Alecmconroy 06:45, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
I've recently added Libya to the list of featured article candidates. Overall the candidature is going well with many of the objections now sorted out. The final concrete objection is with the article's prose. I have been the main contributor to the article and have been looking at it for the previous 9 - 10 months. My eyes no longer see it freshly, so I am not a suitable copy-editor!
To meet the final demand of copy editing, I have been advised to ask different people to edit parts of the article.
I would really love to get this article featured as you can probably see from the page's history! I've worked very hard on it and I see this as possibly being the final hurdle.
You can see the prose objections, mostly raised by
Sandy, on the
candidature page. If you have the time, please choose a section (Politics, Religion, Culture etc.) and copyedit, perfect, ace it! I would be very grateful with any help I can get.
Thanks a lot,
-- Jaw101ie 16:45, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello Wisden17/Archive 5, and thank you for your weak oppose at my Request for Adminship, which succeeded with an overwhelming final count of (105/2/0). I was very pleased with the outpouring of kind words from the community that has now entrusted me with these tools, from the classroom, the lesson in human psychology and the international resource known as Wikipedia. The Free Encyclopedia. In regards to your comment, I agree that it was somewhat inappropriate and an odd comment for me to make... But I do feel that one comment from 3 1/2 months ago should generally be forgiven. Thank you for your input though, it has made me think harder of how outsiders will view my actions. Please feel free to leave me plenty of requests, monitor my actions (through the admin desk on my userpage) and, if you find yourself in the mood, listen to some of what I do in real life. In any case, keep up the great work and have a fabulous day. Grand master ka 07:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC) |
Thanks for your praise :) If there's anything I can do to improve the bot, or if it gives you any trouble, just drop me a line and I'll be happy to fix it. Cheers, Tangot a ngo 16:08, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for picking up on my duplicate vote. Must have been a long day!! Seivad 07:48, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I am a member of a research group at Palo Alto Research Center (formerly known as Xerox PARC) studying how conflicts occur and resolve on Wikipedia. Due to your experience in conflict resolution on Wikipedia (e.g., as a member of the Mediation Cabal) we’re extremely interested in your insights on this topic. We have a survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=400792384029 which we are inviting a few selected Wikipedians to participate in, and we would be extremely appreciative if you would take the time to complete it. As a token of our gratitude, we would like to present you with a PARC research star upon completion. Thank you for your time.

I noticed in your oppose you were concerned that the candidate might not be sufficiently familiar with wiki's policies and guidelines. In fairness to him, I would like to point to "Optional question from Stephen B Streater" which specifically addresses this. [1] Tyrenius 01:18, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for getting back to me. I understand your position and keep up the good work on MedCom (we certainly need it)! Tyrenius 19:37, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you so much! RyanG e rbil10 (The people rejoice!) 04:00, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
As always thanks for helping out. I take my metaphorical hat off to anyone who jumps into the ring for these sorts of diisputes. And I imagine ours is probably quite civil as far as online disputes go.
Anyway, in the middle of the night last night, I woke up, and had a flash of insight about a potential compromise first step. It would allow me to feel comfortable that the critics are getting a fair chance to make their case, but would still allow us reduce the total amount of space devoted to criticism in the article. I really really hope Thomas et. al. like the idea, it could be a huge step towards reaching consensus. I think they will. :)
Maybe you could read it over and see if you think it'd be a step in the right direction. -- Alecmconroy 23:13, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Hey Wisden!! We need ya to finish off some issues. Check this out, please: [2]. Tis my way of helping really. Hope am right! Ndss 14:43, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
I haven't forgotten about you (re your e-mail of June). -- Durin 20:28, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I was looking for User:Angela the VP of wikis.2:26 1 august 2006
In short, I have no idea why you didn't receive one. I'm looking into it, but I have a feeling either an edit or two failed, or it's a bug in AWB. So, sorry, I suppose; it's below now. Ral315 ( talk) 01:06, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Okay-- take a gander at User:Alecmconroy/Opus Dei#Responses to Opus Dei. Better? -- Alecmconroy 18:45, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Wisden! Thanks again for your impartial resolution at the Opus Dei page. It's been wonderful working with you. :)
I agree with the closure of mediation. And I have done most of the work I promised, as you can see at talk page. I am proposing that we remove the NPOV tag. Thanks again. Thomas 03:36, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Beep! Beep! Need to set a question soon or you'll lose your turn -- Bedders 11:06, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Heyo, Steve Caruso here. There is a Request for assistance by Lee_Bailey ( talk) on Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report and related (this one looks like it's going to be very interesting). Would you be willing to take their case? If you will, please leave a note and sign under the entry on WP:AMARQ and change "(pending)" in the heading to "(open)." When you're finished with the case, set it to "(closed)". If you're not able to take the case, please leave me a message on my talk page so I can continue searching for a willing Advocate. Many thanks! Furthermore, many more thanks for responding to the AMA Alert! :-) אמר Steve Caruso ( desk/ AMA) 15:17, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Wisden, Thanks for participating in my RFA! Ultimately, no consensus was reached, but I still appreciate the fact that you showed up to add in your two cents. You can feel free to talk to me about it or add some advice on my improvement page.

You left me a message that said:
"This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikimedia. Wisden17 17:24, 11 March 2006 (UTC)"
I do not know what I've done. If something seemed like vandalism, it's because I'm unfamiliar with Wikipedia rules. Please explain what I've done wrong and I will not do it again. Thank you.
I am trying to create a bio on Renzetti (aka Turd, the Bartender) as I am for a majority of the people who work with Erich " Mancow" Muller on Mancow's Morning Madhouse, in part of frequent edits and vandalizations on the show wikipedia page, but also, I feel the subjects should have some kind of background information on them for the benefit of its readers.
Other than that, I don't understand what your probelm is. I am a new contributor (not to Wikipedia) to Wikimedia and it was through that means in which I loaded the images. Is it the images you are having trouble with, or the bio itself. Please let me know how we can resolve to everyone's benefit.
