Wikipedia Research Survey Request
Hello, I am a member of a research group at Palo Alto Research Center (formerly known as Xerox PARC) studying how conflicts occur and resolve on Wikipedia. Due to your experience in conflict resolution on Wikipedia (e.g., as a member of the Mediation Cabal) we’re extremely interested in your insights on this topic. We have a survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=400792384029 which we are inviting a few selected Wikipedians to participate in, and we would be extremely appreciative if you would take the time to complete it. As a token of our gratitude, we would like to present you with a PARC research star upon completion. Thank you for your time.

Monty Python TfD compromise
There is a compromise now posted on the TfD if you are still interested in this debate. One question, even though you are against this TfD, have you even taken the master template out for a test drive?

I hardly find it appropriate to put big screaming boxes at the top of usertalk pages. If you want to leave messages, I ask you put them at the bottom of the page under a new heading in plain text. I understand their position may have been a mistake - but please consider different ways of conveying the message. Thanks! Ian¹³/t 17:12, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- I didn't mean to offend, Ian, I'm simply trying to implement an opt-outable system to communicate between all Advocates without having to post something on every single talk page. The template idea seemed like the best way to do things, as with transclusion, all that need be done is one page change and all tagged pages are updated. If you find it a bit too brash, feel free to remove the template and please accept my apologies. אמר Steve Caruso (desk/AMA) 22:31, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- No problem, I was just letting you know that big orange messages at the top of usertalk pages doesn't always keep everyone happy. Thanks! Ian¹³/t 11:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Greetings, Ian13. The judges would like to announce that the winner for the Esperanza User Page Contest has been chosen. Congratulations to Kylu for winning the contest. The winning entry can be found here.
If you'd like to participate in the contest again, check by the contest page in a few days and sign up. See you around. May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| ŗ 3 $ |-| ţ |-|)
Please don't present your personal opinion on the SC issue as official WP policy. As admins, we need to work this stuff out by consensus (and involve foundation members where appropriate). Your edit was improper, as the account was blocked for impersonation concerns (not retribution). Furthermore, your statement implies that an admin consensus exists on this issue to the effect that SC is not welcome here. That is simply not true. If that account is validated as belonging to him, then it'll be unblocked. If you have any concerns about this, let's bring it to WP:AN. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 20:32, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
I have updated the talk page with the comment removed. I reccomend to bring it to the administrator's notice board or bring a foundation member in to make a decision as serious as this. Last time I checked admin's can't speak for an organization, especially not when the decision may end up being seen outside of Wikipedia. --Nick Catalano contrib talk 00:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- I hardly think I was misrepresenting Wikipedia policy. It to me seems obvious that that account was used as part of a bid to bring mass Vandalism to Wikipedia in a very promenent way. I hardly think we need to show users that you can make public bids for vandalism and get away with it. WP:BP clearly states "Sysops may block IP addresses or usernames that disrupt the normal functioning of Wikipedia, or pose any kind of threat to it." I hardly think the actions linked to this case are anything but disruption. I also presonally object to removal of my edit - you are more than welcome to state it is invalid on the page - but removing others comments because you don't agree with them hardly resolves anything. I personally would be surprised if anyone unblocked the account (even if it was verified to be him) purely because of the massive disruption to elephants he caused (and he will have been the one that caused it if it was him). I can't see how it couldn't be seen as anything else. Nethertheless, I hardly see the point of waring over whether my comments should be removed - but I do ask you don't do it - but instead add a comment and discuss with me first. It may have been misplaced (and quite possibly was) but I think people are disucssing the wrong things. Happy editing! Ian¹³/t 19:59, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

G. Patrick Maxwell 1997 court case
I have deleted the material relating to this. Do not reinstate it. This is not an editing decision. It is removed to protect the Foundation. I am currently having dialogue with OFFICE over this matter. Contact me if you wish to discuss it. Thank you.
FYI - posted on article talk page. Tyrenius 19:51, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Ian, how can we talk to OFFICE? THere is absolutely nothing "Serious" about these references - there is no libel or invasion of privacy. These are public records, and true. Therefore, they are not libelous.jawesq 00:00, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
