Please read

Please read my and KillerChihuahua's comments — here they are — about a mistake you made on Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard. Our posts are kind of getting overlaid by various lively discussions, so I thought you might well miss them when you log in next. Regards, Bishonen | talk 16:30, 3 October 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Wikis Take Manhattan

WHAT Wikis Take Manhattan is a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest aimed at illustrating Wikipedia and StreetsWiki articles covering sites and street features in Manhattan and across the five boroughs of New York City.

LAST YEAR'S EVENT

WINNINGS? The first prize winning team members will get Eye-Fi Share cards, which automatically upload photos from your camera to your computer and to sites like Flickr. And there will also be cool prizes for other top scorers.

WHEN The hunt will take place Saturday, October 10th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.

WHO All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!

REGISTER The proper place to register your team is here. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.

WHERE Participants can begin the hunt from either of two locations: one at Columbia University (at the sundial on college walk) and one at The Open Planning Project's fantastic new event space nestled between Chinatown and SoHo. Everyone will end at The Open Planning Project:

148 Lafayette Street
between Grand & Howard Streets

FOR UPDATES

This notice is purely for your information and you are neither a named party to the dispute or obliged to become involved. Manning (talk) 01:05, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation

The Wordsmith, I'm sure that you mean well when you suggest that mediation should be resumed, but I want you to know that there's no way I'm having anything to do with it. The entire exercise struck me as something that could and should have been conducted on talk:conversion therapy, if there were anything worth discussing. Hyper3 has behaved in a rude, boorish, and increasingly childish way, and I think it's pretty clear that he was discussing things in bad faith (look at the last couple of comments he made on the mediation page, and you'll see what I mean). I've got limited patience for people who endlessly announce that they are right and who refuse to give (or respond to) real arguments. BG talk 03:09, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
