[edit] A Message to "Johnny the Vandal"

Grow up, you stupid moron. You're a tiresome waste of space. I never get to see your vandalism anyway because plenty of good editors revert it within a minute or two of you wasting your time vandalising this page (and you seem to insist on doing it in the middle of the night my time, when I'm not around to see it anyway). So do us all a favour and give up editing Wikipedia, and let lots of people make more productive use of their time. 29/7/06


Seriously, go and see a psychiatrist - you are displaying classic symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, apart from which through your activities you are a disgrace to your country, bringing the U.S. into disrepute (hint - a middle finger isn't an insult in this country). 17/8/06

Now he's gone for good because of an indefinite IP block, it's time to rejoice and be thankful he is gone. Whoever blocked that IP address that didn't claim it was him (but it was him), thank you a lot. --VelairWight 01:29, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] #10 Bank of England note permission

Hi, Arwell.. I was looking at File:Bank Of England10.png and saw that permission to use the note on Wikipedia was last granted in 2009 and was good for a year until February 3, 2010. Well we're now a whole year and three days past that now. Because you sought permission the last two times in 2009 and 2008, would you be able to do it again?

I wonder if we could get a bot to flag this file and any others, a couple of weeks before the date that the permission expires. If we really do require permission, it's sucky to think that we've gone a year without it. Best, 66.87.0.74 (talk) 06:52, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

[edit] UK banknotes

It seems our permission to use images of UK banknotes has expired. As you were the last admin to ask for renewal, would you mind doing it again, since you probably have the address aso? Cheers! Asav (talk) 02:12, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Categorization

I was editing the last three World War II sites to finish the Category:World War II sites, however, Manxruler believes they are unneccessary. Yes, edit categories not subcategorized can go for more many pages for a category page, although, I am hoping he would keep his patience, about me and for many other new users, since he has never completed to delete Santo Tomas Internment Camp. I hope I can, freely, continue to do last edits for the World War II sites, before anything unusual sprinkles out. --Corusant (yadyadyada) 18:57, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

You appear to have been categorising various articles under Category:World War II sites when they are already categorised under sub-categories of that category, for example, Category:Nazi concentration camps which is a sub-category of Category:World War II sites of Nazi Germany which is in turn a sub-category of Category:World War II sites. Please do not do this. Obviously a very large number of articles could be categorised as Category:World War II sites, but this would result in category which would be too large to be useful, which is why it is subcategorised. See Wikipedia:Categorization. -- Arwel Parry (talk) 20:58, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] MSU Interview

Dear Arwel,


My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.


So a few things about the interviews:

  • Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
  • Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
  • All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
  • All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
  • The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.


Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 15:40, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
