Hans Küng, 2009.

Hans Küng is a Swiss Catholic priest, academic, theologian, and author. He is Emeritus Professor at the University of Tübingen; but in 1979, the Vatican's censure rescinded his license to teach Catholic theology, largely because of his questioning of the doctrine of Papal infallibility.

Talk – Mentorship Committee

Sandbox

One of the prospective mentors suggested that I create "Mentorship Committee" subpages (a) as a venue for discussion about how to deal with matters as they arise and (b) as a venue where editors who are questioning my actions could post comments about such edits; and/or (c) as a venue for discussing to resolve any particular issue as well as how to avoid similar situations in the future.

When it was first suggested that a mentor might help improve my contributions, I responded with alacrity by posting here.

The thread generated no responses. --Tenmei (talk) 19:10, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Amendments to Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Tang Dynasty

Since the close of Tang Dynasty six months ago, Tenmei (talk · contribs) has continued to edit without a mentor, at times violating other restrictions placed upon him as a result of the case. The Arbitration Committee has been unable to find a mentor for this purpose, with Tenmei rejecting one recently proposed mentor. As a result, Tang Dynasty is amended as follows, effective immediately:

Development from seed to seedling.

• Tenmei (talk · contribs) is required to have at least one volunteer mentor. Until such a mentor is found, Tenmei is banned from all editing except for the express purpose of locating a mentor. During this time, Tenmei is instructed to avoid talking about other editors. (Amends Remedy 2.1, amendment passed 8-0)
• The mentor(s), once found, must be identified to the community as Tenmei's mentors and be willing to be available for others to contact them either publicly or privately. (Passed 8-0)
• Editors are advised to contact the mentors if they come into conflict with Tenmei. (Passed 8-0)
• The restrictions placed on Tenmei in remedy 1.1 are reset, to take effect when a mentor is found and approved by the Arbitration Committee. (Passed 8-0)
• Should Tenmei violate the requirement to have a mentor before contributing, or cause unrest whilst seeking a mentor, Tenmei may be blocked for up to a week for repeated violations. After the fifth block, the maximum block length is extended to one year. (Passed 6-0, two abstentions)

Noting that at least one party, myself, has agreed to try to being a mentor, although I personally would be happiest if there were others involved as well. John Carter (talk) 21:48, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Kyūdō -- Yabusame at Kamakura

I'm considering perhaps offering to be involved as a non-admin co-mentor; however, I've been editing Wikipedia less often recently and may be available only sporadically, so I would have at most a minor role. ☺Coppertwig (talk) 23:39, 22 December 2009 (UTC) (replaced with the message below)

OK, I'm willing to be a co-mentor, although with limited availability. I believe you have a lot to contribute to Wikipedia, Tenmei; thank you for your extensive contributions, especially in creating articles and in contributing citations. I believe I can provide helpful guidance in a number of areas, including:

• Effective expressive communication: purposefulness, clarity, conciseness.
• Effective receptive communication: AGF, understanding others' POV, understanding what others are trying to say.
• Application of core policies WP:V, WP:NOR, WP:NPOV.

Taivo has also volunteered to be part of the mentorship committee here. ☺Coppertwig (talk) 00:29, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry, Tenmei. I've decided to withdraw my offer to be a co-mentor. You can still feel free to ask me for advice on an informal basis, remembering that I'm not always available to reply swiftly. I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused by changing my mind, and wish you good luck. ☺Coppertwig (talk) 02:09, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Arbitration Enforcement against you

I filed an arbitration enforcement against you; see link above. - Penwhale | ^{dance in the air and follow his steps} 04:58, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Sorry

I'm sorry the mistake which led to this block. I shall try to avoid making a similar mistake in the future. --Tenmei (talk) 17:42, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Blocked

Tenmei:

I have just blocked you for one week for breaching your editing restrictions. During the forthcoming week, I will ask ArbCom to review the existing restrictions. This current situation must be causing you distress and I am keen to avoid inadvertently causing you further distress. You have our email address and we have yours so it is probably best if we continue this by email. I am therefore disabling your ability to edit your talk page.  Roger Davies ^talk 11:38, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Sorry

Request for Mentorship

Thank you for today's invitation to participate as a mentor in your editing efforts. I must decline, with much apology, since it appears that your scholarship efforts are considerable and should be encouraged. I base my demurral on my extremely limited understanding of the many regulations and rules of the Wikipedia universe, and not on your particular situation. Raymondwinn (talk) 22:51, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Your request for mentorship

I am afraid I must decline your offer. I am not exactly experienced with mentorship, so I would not be the best person to help. Thanks for asking anyways. Happy holidays! The Thing _{Merry Christmas} 00:57, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Request for Mentorship--Taivo

See my response to your request on my Talk page. (Taivo (talk) 04:08, 26 December 2009 (UTC))

Orphaned non-free image File:Joseon mission to Japan.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Joseon mission to Japan.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 05:30, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Request for mentorship

Thank you for your patience as I took the last couple of days to study and understand the situation. And thanks also for requesting my participation. However, I am still quite new to the Wiki system, and as such, must humbly decline your offer as I believe my beginner's ignorance may be a hinderance for you.

Return ping

E-mail answered. Buckshot06 (talk) 20:57, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

This is exactly what I was talking about. If you wish to be better understood, you would have been better to just include the quote, and nothing else - all that introductory writing confuses people sometimes. Try and make your style simple and to the point, not flowery. Buckshot06 (talk) 22:37, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Your email

Thank you for thinking of me, but the amount of time I can spend on Wikipedia is limited, so I won't be able to contribute as you request. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 19:51, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I looked into your request, and I think that it's simply too far outside of my expertise for me to be helpful. I'm sorry. rspεεr (talk) 05:24, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I've got your email, but I haven't reviewed it yet. I will let you know what I think when I have. Daniel Case (talk) 20:14, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey there. I did receive your email; while I appreciate the opportunity, I don't feel that I've got the time to devote to such an endeavour right now. Good luck with it, however. Tony Fox (arf!) 05:11, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

I also received your email. Unfortunately my real life does not allow me to make the necessary time commitment for a meaningful mentorship agreement. (You should have asked two years ago...). This is doubly unfortunate as I would love to know more about the history of East Asia (I know a little about the Republic of China, not much else). —Кузьма^討論 15:53, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
