Any chance you might be able to take a look at Mohamed Nasheed? The article has been getting repeatedly vandalised and hit with POV additions for a while now, and really could do with a cleanup, and while we've disagreed in the past, you're the best person that comes to mind on these topics these days.

Speedy deletion nomination of Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy

Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —Train2104 (talk · contribs · count · email) 12:48, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Please ignore this warning. The article had been hijacked by vandals, who replaced the contents with some rather offensive idiocy. This has now been reverted. Favonian (talk) 12:51, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

I know I'm a "little" late, but...

I'm glad that you got your admin status back. Congratulations! :-) --Ixfd64 (talk) 23:52, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

President/PM of Côte d'Ivoire

Hello there,

I have started a discussion at Talk:Côte d'Ivoire about what to put in the infobox as President/PM. I notice you have changed it to Gbagbo in order to "state the facts on the ground". if you could contribute to the discussion and explain what you mean by this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. --Natural R_X 19:53, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:POM55.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:POM55.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:46, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

It's been a year

Hey Everyking, it's been a year since you regained your adminship! I'm very pleased to see that your new term as an admin has been productive and relatively peaceful (as I knew it would be): I'm glad I supported you. In addition, next month will be your seventh anniversary being here. Thank you again for all the work you've done. Best. Acalamari 19:05, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Francisco Macías Nguema

Hi Everyking! I reverted your edition to the Nguema article because atheists, even in the broad sense of the word, just don't believe in deities, they are not necessarily materialists, physicalists or rational skeptics. But I'm with you: also would like that people like this was not "one of ours"... Regards. Againme (talk) 19:34, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Mario Monti lede

Hello. Could you kindly check your use of English grammar in the revisions you have made to the start of the lede of the Mario Monti article? I find the use of the use of the present simple ("is") plus "since" to be unidiomatic. Please note that the reply to your earlier query "when???" was just a few lines down, in keeping with MOS; the lede to David Cameron—an article which has achieved GA status—follows a similar process. Thank you.--MistyMorn (talk) 13:30, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

I disagree quite strongly, but I have no wish to get into an edit war. Do you think that the lede of the David Cameron article is inappropriate, and if so does how does it conflict with MOS?--MistyMorn (talk) 13:40, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply. While respecting your personal opinion regarding the Cameron lede, I still do not understand how it departs from MOS (and why the Cameron GA should not provide an appropriate model for the somewhat tricky Monti lede). Regards,--MistyMorn (talk) 14:52, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Blaise Compaoré, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Burkinabé (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Malam Bacai Sanhá OR

Please don't add back OR that is quite clarly not in the source. (despite the edit summary)(Lihaas (talk) 21:08, 9 January 2012 (UTC)).

There was no source before, but kudos for adding that. But you also restored everything blindly some of which was not in the article. The AFP says that he will continue in his role it doesnt NOT say he will be sworn in as acting/interim, which officially means that he will continue in his capacity of taking charge of presidential affairs not that he will be president which is different, however technical. Perhaps officially the post will be vacant, unless we have a source saying otherwise.(Lihaas (talk) 21:22, 9 January 2012 (UTC)).

Request

Everyking, long time no "speak". I was wondering if you could do me a favor, since I gave my word to not use my "powers" until June. There is this user "User: Catémbe" who continues to vandalize the article of Herb Scannell by removing his photo and adding photos of other people, see: [1]. I was wondering if you could keep an eye on the situation and please warn him/her of a possible block. Also, if the person vandalizes the page, could you please semi-protect it? I hate to bother you, but I will truly appreciate your help. Thank you. Tony the Marine (talk) 20:05, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedians also recommend biscuits with tea

Mistress Selina Kyle ^{(Α⇔Ω ¦ ⇒✉)} has given you a cup of tea. Tea promotes WikiLove and hopefully this has made your day ever so slightly better.

Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a tea, especially if it is someone you have had disagreements with in the past or someone putting up with some stick at this time. Enjoy!

Spread the lovely, warm, refreshing goodness of tea by adding {{subst:wikitea}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

MSU Interview

Dear Everyking,

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) 18:24, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi James, just a belated note to thank you for your kind wishes during my break. I'm not back entirely yet -- still having some health issues -- but I'm dipping my toe in the water again, and as always wondering why I bother. :) Anyway, thanks again, and I hope all is well with you.
