Article on The World Solution for World Problems

I already tried to launch an article on the book The World Solution for World Problems which has an ISBN number and is officially published as an electronic book by PiCarta and you prevented publication. Now I have discovered, that there exist many articles on books on Wikipedia, for example, the book Where Troy Once Stood, which is even controversial. Would you mind to publish my article, which in my opinion is very imporatnt for the survival of mankind?

ArbCom Elections 2011

Time flies and its two years. I shall not be seeking a new term; Will be returning to writing articles on Wikipedia, what I've always loved to do.

Upon completion of my term I will continue to help out with my Oversight and Checkuser privileges, in particular if backlogs show up. And perhaps an extra hand if there is anything that calls for my experience.

As for the hottest election issue this year, the illegal arbcom-l leaks, I have this to say. As what I have promised back in my candidacy two years back, I am not embarrassed by any of my emails, thought processes, etc to the list. But what made me felt utterly helpless and disappointed was when I saw names and other personal identifiable information of editors being thrown up on WR ala Wikileaks and not bothered to be redacted.

There are positive changes in the works coming slowly but surely, I believe my fellow colleagues and prospective arbitrators would continue the excellent work beyond this year. - Mailer Diablo 14:13, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Deleted Post

Hello,

I am not sure why the wikipedia page for Meghan Chavalier cannot be created and has been deleted on numerous occasions. She is an actress, author, singer and activist. Is it because she was in adult films? Because I've seen Jenna Jameson's page and she's no more relevant the next adult film star. She is a published author, singer with 3 cds readily available on any music website like Itunes and Amazon. She is an activist for the LGBT Community and she just happens to have starred in over 200 adult films. She is a legend in the transgender community and your constant deletion of her page shows me either one of two things you're a homophobe or you just have no idea who she is. Do you ever actually Google people when their pages are uploaded or do you listen to the random rants of homophobes who don't want people within the LGBT Community to get credit where credit is due? Acting as if one person is more important than another is one of the reasons I would never donate money to Wikipedia. That being said, I think you should undelete this page and give her the proper credit she deserves for all of the work she has done in her life. I find random articles about people on this website who haven't done 1/4 of the things she has done in the entertainment industry.

Wikipedia is controlled by rude people and bullies? If they can't explain their reasoning, they just ban?

I am neutral. I saw some genuine improvements that were possible in the Barack Obama article.

It seems that the article is guarded and heavily controlled by some thugs. They will make up fake excuses to get their way. I calmly made some suggestions. They just removed them without any discussion. "For Pete's Sake" was a typical edit summary.

When they found out that they don't have the mental capacity to rationally discuss why my edits are good and they have no ideas, they just ban me saying I am a sock. Their excuse is that everyone they don't like must be related to one another.

My suggestions was that some law call SCIP is not very important but that there were other things very important to Obama. I also said that we should stick with Obama and be careful not to just have a summary of the world or politics while he was in office. Similarly, I suggested that the paragraph about Libya be written about Obama's involvement, not just a history lesson about UN resolution this or that.

You can see that my suggestions are all good. Yet when they are unable to even explain their reasoning, they just resort to banning. I think that maybe they want to anger people hoping that the hurt party will start to vandalize. If so, that is a very sneaky way to damage Wikipedia (piss off people hoping a few percentage will vandalize).

Once again, look at my Barack Obama edits. Looks at them objectively. You will see that everything I wrote is of very high quality. I should be immediately unbanned.

Thank you for your support at my recent successful RFA.

Reconsider LabX?

Can we reconsider the reinstatement for the LabX page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/LabX, and maybe changing it to "LabX Media Group".

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Royal Brunei Airlines, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Royal Brunei (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.

Request for Comments on Wikipedia:Representation

Hi there! My name is Whenaxis, I noticed that you are on the Arbitration Committee. I created a policy proposal called Wikipedia:Representation. I think that this policy would help the Arbitration Committee as well as the Mediation Committee because the goal of this proposed policy is to decrease the amount of time wasted when an unfamiliar editor files a Arbitration or Mediation Committee when other forms of Dispute Resolution have not yet been sought. For example, an editor may come to the Arbitration Committee requesting formal mediation when other dispute resolution areas have not been utilised such as third opinions or request for comments. A representative works much like a legal aid - there to help you for free and:

• File a formal mediation case or an arbitration case on your behalf
• Make statements and submit evidence at the case page on your behalf
• Guide you through the expansive and sometimes complex policies and procedures of Wikipedia

This proposed idea can also help the editor seeking help because it can alleviate the stress and anxiety from dispute resolution because mediation and arbitration can be intimidating for those who are unfamiliar.

I would highly appreciate your comments on this proposal at: Wikipedia talk:Representation. Cheers and Happy New Year - Whenaxis about talk contribs 22:46, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Shifted Info from History of the Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)

Hi,

You mentioned in the edit history of History of the Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) that you have shifted the MRT disruption incident. However you did not indicate it's new location and I would like to find out where is it? ♠♠ BanëJ ♠ ♠ 15:49, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

quadrant as contributors to Aboriginal history

It would be un fortunate for wikipedia to lose credibility on Aboriginal issues by allowing Quadrant to write about subjects they are openly bias about, Quadrant have been engaged in whats called "the history wars" for a long time, the methods used by Quadrant writers is very narrow focused on records alone and ignoring/devaluing any evidence as required to achieve the outcome they want to advocate, Im not in a position to challenge professional writers and thinks publishing the truth goes beyond who's the better writer or who can argue better, this is the second time I have sent an email concerned about the information a genuine person may get from reading bias materials, or the impact on A young confused Aboriginal trying to get information, I am going to continue to follow up the issue of Quadrant dominating the Aboriginal issues within Wikipedia while activly advocating a bias view of Aboriginal Australian history, A copy of all emails will be sent to the head office in America highlighting the effect this has on Wikipedias reputation as a non-bias source of information within Australia, although most of whats published on Wikipedia on Aboriginal Australians issues is mostly accurate I would encourage Wikipedia (national and international) to distance their web site from any political players with vested intrests, I will continue to contact wikipedia directly as it would be impossible to challenge professional writers that get payed to write about history and have access to records the public cant see, I love Wikipedia and cringe when Quadrant are dominating public opinion about Aboriginals, I look forward to a reply and hope I can continue to direct people to your site when researching parts on Australian/Aboriginal histories.

Betacommand 3 needs your votes

You are listed as an active Arbitrator in the Betacommand 3 case, but you have yet to vote on any remedies. I understand that you may be busy with other concurrent cases, but at this point a wide spectrum of remedies have been put up for consideration. ASCIIn2Bme (talk) 08:13, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

  Sorry to be a buttinski here, but could you voice an opinion on #6 as well. I'll be honest in that I don't care which option you choose. I think it is far better that this ArbCom issue be closed than continue to linger. Any option you pick will help us determine an outcome sooner rather than later. Thanks in advance!

Politics in the Wikipedia

Hi,

I've been going round and round the wiki looking for the exact process to use to report what might be a speedy deletion, but I haven't found the editing information that I might use, so I ask you.

This article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Cancer_Research_Act

sounds dandy, except it is not about political history or Cancer. It is a political article supporting an upcoming California ballot measure involving a tax increase of which the majority of voters will not be paying one penny for. I believe, though the authors are being careful not to do so, that it is a Soapbox article without presenting any side to the issues presented but that of the authors who may very well be using Wikipedia's clout to freely promote their measure against the Rights of the Citizens in the Minority who will be affected and who stand no chance of defending themselves in the voting booth but for the mercy of the unaffected majority (often not likely), while the promoters may (they usually do) have a conflict of interest due to potential financial enrichment in their favor (as we say in California).

I will remind you that the Wikipedia guidelines do not support political causes, or taking sides.
