Mediation

Hi. just wondering if you had a chance to look at my request on the mediation? Thanks GainLine ♠ _♥ 16:07, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, This is one article which I believe is glaringly problematic and fails to meet standards. I'll see what the community has to say. Appreciate the input GainLine ♠ _♥ 14:13, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Cambridge meetup 1 August

FYI, the fourth Cambridge meetup will occur on the afternoon of Saturday 1 August. Wikimedia UK people are getting a message about this, in the interests of general communicativeness. Charles Matthews (talk) 13:56, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Special:Contributions/User:Garethmagis

Hi, I saw this user had created a subpage on your account, User talk:Seddon/Wikipedia. I've listed this for CSD under pure vandalism, and given the user an "only warning" referencing not to vandalize others' user or talk pages. --   GameShowKid – talk – evidence   16:44, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

HURDAT

It's suddenly become more urgent for this page to be within wikipedia, due to comments made in the 1987 Atlantic hurricane season timeline FAC. Once a section is quickly created explaining its format, it should be placed within wikipedia, to avoid any further FAC problems. Thegreatdr (talk) 18:39, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikimedia UK

Feel free to update that item. I was planning on trying to get more detail from Wikimedia UK people some time in the coming week for inclusion in the next issue, but post-publication clarifcations are also welcome.--ragesoss (talk) 00:03, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

FPC closing

Hey, Thanks for taking time to close the nominations at FPC. I know how tedious things can get having closed a few myself, some time ago. I think there are a few steps you may have forgotten to perform such as with this nomination. --Muhammad(talk) 09:22, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

DYK for HURDAT

On August 6, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article HURDAT, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

WP:RECONCILIATION? Xavexgoem (talk) 01:26, 9 August 2009 (UTC) Better than my other THERAPY ;-)

some brain storming at User:Xavexgoem/reconciliation. I'd write notes elsewhere, but why? Xavexgoem (talk) 08:32, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Temporary case clerk need to cover Abd-WMC case

Hi there. You are listed as active at the clerks page. Would you be able to have a look here? I'm looking for one of the currently active clerks to look after the case for a few days until Hersfold is back? If one of the five clerks listed as active could volunteer, that would be great. Thanks. Carcharoth (talk) 18:06, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Welcome aboard!

Hi mate. I haven't had the chance to welcome you to the clerk office yet, but I'm glad you accepted the offer to become a trainee. If you need any help or have any questions, my e-mail is open. Hope everything's okay at your end. Best, AGK 17:59, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/194x144x90x118

The opening date of the case displaying. Please fix it. Thank you! --Mythdon ^{talk • contribs} 02:20, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I am very tempted to respond to the evidence request but my time is sorta limited, how long would I normally have and could you possibly do me the favor of giving me the maximum time possible to respond?--194x144x90x118 (talk) 19:59, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

FPC Closures

Hi Seddon, I notice you did a few FP closures. Can you just make sure you followed all steps in the procedure? I haven't checked closely, but I did notice when closing another nom that your closures don't show up in the August archives. (You may have missed the changes when the Recently Closed section came in, but you add the closed nom to both there and the archive at the same time). Cheers, --jjron (talk) 08:15, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Yep, have seen others miss adding it to the archives myself, especially since the 'recently closed' section came in, not that I've been checking recently (so good pickup there on finding others). Yeah, we've talked about a script many times, and in fact MER-C has one, but it's restricted to only a few users (I'm one of them, but I've never actually used it). It also doesn't cover the whole thing, problem is that FPC closing is really quite an intricate process with quite a lot of 'ifs' and 'buts' that almost have to be assessed by a human on a case by case basis. --jjron (talk) 12:55, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

User talk:Santasa99

Regarding your block of User talk:Santasa99, there is something compelling in his explanation. It is not the standard "my little brother did it", and upon investigation of the three accounts, it does look as though they are likely operated by family members of the same household. I agree that the fact that all family members voted in discussions gives the appearance of WP:MEAT sorts of problems, I think that this user was unaware of the problems that may have caused. If the accounts declare their connection, and agree to not give the appearance of colluding in voting discussions, what do you think? What is your opinion on the situation? --Jayron32 03:38, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

User talk:C.Kent87

This user is requesting unblocking; he was blocked as a result of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/C.Kent87/Archive. He's promising to stick to one account. Personally, I have a hard time understanding this investigation; the only assertions in the Sockpuppet investigation were that a "vandalism" edit (in which I don't see the vandalism, just a big change) was made by the IP and later C.Kent87. That doesn't even look like sockpuppetry, just accidentally not logging in. It turns out, C.Kent87 had an alternate account, no abuse was asserted for that account, but now both accounts are indef blocked. Can we unblock C.Kent87, now that he's promised to give up the alternate account? He seems to acknowledge it is an improper account but it's not so clear to me, the contributions look pretty well segregated. Mangojuice^talk 14:55, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't know much about this case either, but in C.Kent87's revert, he referred to the IP as "the anon", not himself. Not a particularly egregious bit of sockpuppetry, but it does show that even if editing from an IP was accidental, he did end up pretending it was someone else. He has promised to discontinue all socking, though, so it may be moot (if we take his word for it). -kotra (talk) 22:37, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

I concur with the above assessments, and would endorse unblocking this user, given the facts of this case. --Jayron32 03:51, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Seddon, I have sent the unblock request to WP:ANI to gauge consensus (it is pending since last Thursday). -- Luk ^talk 09:00, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Why was Original Clark Sisters page deleted?

I'm wondering why you felt it necessary to delete the page on the (original) Clark Sisters, that I created? And especially, why it needed to be done in such a hurry? Your deletion indicated that you did not think that they were significant enough. With all due respect, who the heck are you to be deciding what is significant in American Jazz music? It appears that you are a U.K. Wiki user; that being the case, I would respectfully suggest that my expertise in this area (being a respected program host on a Jazz radio station, and an acknowledged authority on 1930s era American Jazz) is superior to yours, unless there's something I'm not seeing. I would never have the hubris to propose deletion of an article on a British skiffle act; so much for the supposed "Arrogant American". JazzCarnival (talk) 03:15, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Your archiving at WP:ANI

I think this archiving was a bit hasty. Could you consider removing the archive templates?

While you're at it, could you look at the first section of that discussion and render an opinion on User:Ottava Rima's conduct? I find it inexcusable, but perhaps I'm oversensitive.

Cheers. --Akhilleus (talk) 01:23, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

"does that prevent me from coming to my own independent opinion that you're a tendentious editor who engages in unjustified personal attacks?" Seeing as how you have constantly gone around and defended them in various places and pushed their view in the manner that they have pushed your view, you probably should have been blocked long ago for violating consensus through meat puppetry. There are dozens of individual articles and pages that you did that, plus long process forums, such as fringe noticeboard, where you have done this a lot. Ottava Rima (talk) 01:27, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Um

There was a clear consensus - 9 people saying that the page should not be turned into a redirect is rather clear on the matter. There were 5 that wanted it to turn into a redirect. Ottava Rima (talk) 01:25, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
