Unqualified apology

I want to apologize for mishandling the conflict between yourself and Bali ultimate. I feel really bad about this. After reviewing the entire situation, I think I probably was too quick to assume bad faith your part here. I made some statements at the thread (now closed and archived) at WP:AN that were rash. Upon reviewing the discussion on my talk page between yourself, myself, and Bali_ultimate I believe that I was too quick to conclude that you were acting in bad faith, and for that I apologize. For the record, I do genuinely believe that the problem can be resolved if everyone stops trying to indict each other and instead tries to find some common ground to work through. However, my behavior since that conversation has not been fair to you. Please accept my apology for that. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 19:41, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

No problem. What shall we do about the admin that participated in the debate and closed it ? -- User:Docu

I vote for "nothing". But you do whatever you think be the best thing... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 00:28, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

It's a bit odd that an admin would do that with AfD debates .. seems too basic. One might add that he generally votes delete on X-Z debates and closes X-Z debates with a delete conclusion. As he mainly closes debates that missed the {{prod}} channel in the first place, I suppose that later point doesn't matter that much. -- User:Docu

Reference for James McClurg article

Hi. In 2006, you added the following text to the James McClurg article:

"He was well-known as the third richest man in Pennsylvania. His fortune stemmed from his lucrative medical office."

Could you indicate where you found this information? McClurg lived in Virginia and, for a time, Scotland and England, but I have not found references to his living in Pennsylvania. Looking past the potential typo for Pennsylvania, it would be a very interesting fact that, as a doctor, he acquired more wealth than some of the leading families of Virginia.

Please provide diff. -- 签名 _sig at 04:30, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

"Diff" as in information contrary to your addition? If so, I don't have such information. But the question is, what was your source of the information? Encycloshave (talk) 10:43, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

"diff" meaning a link to a diff showing where you think I added the text you listed (see Help:Diff#Linking_to_a_diff). -- 签名 _sig at 05:55, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

My apologies, Docu. It was the edit just after yours, where you added the month and day for McClurg's date or death.

The Pennsylvania information, instead, came from an unregistered user (24.6.70.73). This person appears to have added questionable information or vandalism to several other pages in Feb 2006. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_McClurg&diff=next&oldid=40269112

I'm sorry to have wasted your time. Encycloshave (talk) 11:50, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

MSU Interview

Dear Docu,

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 communityHERE, where 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 nameHERE 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) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck (talk • contribs) 23:13, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
