Hi,
Would you be interested in volunteering some time and expertise to help the Wikimedia Foundation in a collaboration with the National Institutes of Health? I unfortunately do not have a lot of details to give at this time, but in short, I'm looking for a group of Wikimedians (primarily US or UK based, but that's not a requirement) that have interest or expertise in various medical fields, to help participate in a Wikimedia Academy event with the NIH. Even if you don't think you'd be able to attend the event, but would be interested in helping out online in any capacity, I'd love to hear back from you.

Hey Swatjester. :) Just wanted to let you know that I have just restored the original semi-protections on those pages (namely [1], [2], [3] and [4]) you had unprotected a few months ago after I had fully-protected them due to my wiki-break. Also, those pages were not my user talk pages (as you called them); my user talk page is here: Those pages were just other stuff which technically happened to be in the user talk page space, though those pages are no talk pages intended for communication (just as for example this page in your user space, that you have even fully-protected). Also, I should note that archives of user talk pages are regularly fully-protected (cf. [5]), as they (naturally) should no more be modified. In case I have missed something, just let me know. :) Best wishes, — Aitias // discussion 23:33, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello Swatjester. :) I am requesting that you remove the protection you placed on the California Miramar University article over a year ago. If you did not place this protection, please let me know who did and I will contact that person. I have been following this article for almost six months and trying to make edits to this page but the page has been protected with editing access denied to all but an apparent handful of contributors.
For example, in the discussion area of the article I provided a link several months ago that showed CMU was a candidate for National Accreditation with the Distance Education Training Counsel. CMU's name was listed on the DETC website as such. I was told by one contributor that he did not feel that this candidate status was worthy of listing in the main article because a lot of schools that are candidates don't end up being accredited. I reminded this person that that was an opinion and that opinions should not interfere with presenting the facts relating to the article. The fact of CMU's candidate status with DETC, however, never made it onto the main Article page due to the "opinion" alone of one of the contributors who had editorial access and the protection of the article from other contributors like myself who cannot get verifiable material into the article.
Yesterday, I went on the DETC site and found that CMU gained national accreditation from DETC earlier this month.DETC 2009-10 Directory of Accredited Institutions In fact, CMU was the only new institution accredited in the June cycle by DETC. Notes of June DETC Accreditation Meeting However, because the article is protected, I have to wait for someone to post this information for me. I don't think this is Wikipedia's intent or their policy.
I hope that CMU's accreditation will bring about a positive change in the article and the contributors. Hopefully you will agree that the initial reason for blocking the article over a year ago seems to be in the past. I am looking for a fair and balanced article. Protecting the article and thereby denying access to legitimate contributors with verifiable and referenced information concerning the article is simply not fair and not in accordance with Wikipedia policy.
Please, unblock this site for everyone. Thank you. Angelone7749 (talk) 15:43, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

- Unfortunately, I cannot do that. The page was protected under WP:OFFICE; it is up to the foundation to remove that protection. ⇒SWATJester Son of the Defender 06:28, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
