- I will probably reply to messages here, and even though I will try and notify you on your talk page as well if a response is needed you might want to check back here later in case, especially for quick notes.
- If you have come here because I have deleted an article you created/contributed to, please make sure you first read the reason in the deletion log, and any messages placed on your talk page. That includes following the links in those messages to read up on our policies and guidelines.

Thank you! - Peter

Note
I've held up a username change request for a user who wishes to be renamed to 'Peter 2011' for potential confusion that may be created pending further discussion. Let me know if you think that this would not be an issue. See WP:CHUS#Peter 2011. –xenotalk 02:34, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know. First off I'm abroad at the moment typing on a weird keyboard so forgive any typing mistakes! I'm willing to go with what you think is best, as I trust your experience on this as to whether or not it will cause confusion. I don't have any problem with it on a personal level - though I share you slight concern about possible confusion. Sorry I can't be more definative than that. Peter 19:13, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- I went ahead and queried if they could think of a different username; I don't think they are married to "Peter 2011" - probably just the first thing they came up with in order to seek un-unblock. –xenotalk 19:17, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
Bearwood Primary School
I see you decided on Bearwood Primary School that there was no consensus, but normally the administrator removes the templates on the article. Please do so. --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:33, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
- I closed the first afd back in 2006. The current one has not yet been closed, hence why the templates on the article are still there. --Peter 00:43, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
- My mistake, I did not note the dates, but the rescue template points to the 2006 AfD discussion rather than the current one. --DThomsen8 (talk) 11:53, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
- No problem. I've just corrected the link on the rescue template. Peter 17:06, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

MSU Interview
Dear Peter,
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,
