Sorry, I am not good at this. I have noticed that the Fruits of Passion soap opera spoof was deleted. This is actually a real show! Not sure what I need to verify it. We have tapes of the episodes and it did indeed air on TV on the times listed. You can check on facebook that there is a fan page with actual members .... Thanks04:30, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Blade (record producer) Deletion

Please clarify for me the reason this page has been deleted. I listed the necessary source that was required per the deletion notice I received. There is no need to get into "snitching" or "tattletaling" but there are several articles on musicians and producers on wikipedia that have NO sources yet they do not get deleted. Blade has multiple published works and production credits that can be verified so why does this article keep getting deleted and others don't?

Thinking Cap

Hello There, You deleted page "Thinking Cap" for "A7. No indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content)." Our company is one of the first elearning software firms that created their software with XML and we are the third in the world to be SCORM certified, which in our line of business is a rather big deal. Could you please let me know your exact reasoning for removing the page? Is it possible to get it back by doing some specific editing? Info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Krav Maga Survival

Dear Vianello

Once again the Krav Maga Survival article was deleted. If you had read the history on this article you would have seen that I have full legal rights to use material from the Krav Maga Survival organisation. On notability: with the arguements I´ve been met with half the articles on wiki ought to be deleted.

CI Host

Can you elaborate on your reasoning for SD of CI Host? CSD G10 is a very focused reason, of which a very low % of the article fell into and could have easily been cleaned up - despite that all the "attacking" material was indeed factual. That cite alone does not substantiate its deletion as there was a lot of content regarding the company, its services, products, operations, staff and history. As such - the article should be restored asap, and at worst cleaned up a tad, which I am happy to help with. Thanks Srobak (talk) 21:00, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Alright - now it's been deleted again under a 2:1 "consensus" with comments posted about the company's existence by people who don't know how it historically became Cassiopeia, or who clearly have no knowledge of the history at all. In fact both times the article was never tagged as being discussed for afd as it should have - otherwise I would have participated to keep it around, as I'm sure other's would have. It looks like the new afd went up the same day you restored it. This is patently silly - and I am done. It is pointless to lobby or respond after the fact for something that makes sense to have when you have to deal with people who are hell bent on not having it and who in general don't know what they are talking about... but as this seems to be a continuing and growing trend at WP - I can't say I am surprised. It will in time prove to be one of the core items that leads to WP's total loss of credibility, usability, and ultimate demise. This instance shall too be remembered.

Baco Liner

Hi,
I created an article on Baco Liner. It was CSD'd; I added a hangon and pointed out the significance of the subject on the talkpage. Malik Shabazz suggested on the talkpage that I should make it clear that the article satisfies the notability criteria. So, I further reliable third-party sources on the subject, hit submit... and it turns out you deleted the article in the meantime. This is frustrating. My understanding is that administrators should avoid deleting a page that appears incomplete too soon after its creation, and that A7 no longer applies if you're just waiting an hour for a slightly better source to be provided which underlines notability.
Would it be possible to restore the article so that I can add additional sources to demonstrate notability? Or is it gone forever?
Thanks for your time,

Hello Vianello,

You removed my Green Living Journal entry for this reason "(Speedy deleted per CSD A7, was an article about a company or organization that didn't assert the importance or significance of its subject. using TW)" I believe that the 20 year longevity and demand for the Green Living Journal assets its importance and significance.

Page deletion

Hi Vianello.

I posted an entry called "Proyecto Horizonte (Ushpa-Ushpa)" and it was recommended for speedy deletion. While I did contest it by adding the 'hangon' and justifying my content, this was still deleted. The organisation I wrote about is a private non-profit in Cochabamba, Bolivia. They are doing some excellent work, and have been recognised by various institutions around the world. All of the information in my written article was factual, talking about the 15,000-strong Mineros San Jan community as well as the organisation. Could you please assist with letting me know how I can re-write/re-submit the article, and what I would need to alter, as I believe I've followed the guidelines.

Thank you,

my malcolm in the middle article?

Hi there, my 'Malcolm In The Middle' article has been removed - this is real, I am not guilty of pure vandalism.

It is a craze that is catching on in the area and I think will become larger. It is a new technique and one that I had not seen until six months ago. Because of the surreal nature of the activity, users become manic whilst getting high, and it encourages much laughing about that forgotten division of entertainment, the television show 'Malcolm In The Middle.'

Like football stickers and the use of the word 'sick' to represent something that is actually good, the 'Malcolm In The Middle' is a youth culture phenomenon.

Why did you pick on us?

Out of all the companies in the LMS space you thought we deserved to be removed. Everyday we fight larger companies delivering crap. "an article about a company or organization that didn't assert the importance or significance of its subject". Well if you think the first XML based e learning system is not significant then tell me why http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plateau_Systems is. Either put our page back or remove all links to companies LMS page. (BTW you could have at least rewired the link to the Thinking Cap LMS and not simply deleted it) And then go on and kill all the company pages. If Thinking Cap is not relevant than neither is Blackboard.

Speedy Deletion of Zubeo

I'd like to contest the speedy deletion of the Zubeo article. True, this article discusses a company, but also the software product they distribute (a media aggregation product that competes with Mediafly and Stitcher).

Quote from the A7 criterion for notability: "This criterion applies only to articles about web content and to articles about people, organizations, and individual animals themselves, not to articles about their books, albums, software, or other creative works."

As I mentioned about, the Zubeo article is about both the company and the software they produce. It does not satisfy the criteria for speedy deletion and I would like the article restored as speedily as it was removed.

Hi,

I am David Freedman. I have created a number of cult and not so cult TV programmes and worked on films that have been nominated for Academy Awards. Most notably I co created Aaagh! It's The Mr Hell Show and Bounty Hamster, and helped develop shows like Rex The Runt and Foxbusters. On films I've worked on Thunderbirds, wrote the dialogue on The Old Lady & The Pigeons, and on Brendan & The Secret Of Kells, I was a story consultant. Both of those got nominated for Oscars. Anyhow, I am often known as David Max Freedman. But I noticed that a David Freedman, who died in 1939 was getting the link and the credit on Wikipedia as being me. I'm old (45 this year) but not that old, And I certainly didn't die in 1939.

My reason is not because of Ego, but because nowadays Wikipedia has become a source in which people find people. They want to know who made what, and it's either imdb, or yourselves.

I hope this helps explain why the entry feels quite autobiographical.

ps - Why is there no wikipedia entry for Hugh MacLeod of Gapingvoid? Am I missing something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidmaxfreedman (talk • contribs) 22:10, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Some of the content deletions involve blanking or refactoring of warnings and discussions concerning removal of the article Clinton Cimring/Clinton cimring and abuse by User:ClintonCimring, who created a number of self-interested articles a couple of years ago, and who is named in the SEO 2.0 article as having coined the term. This edit is particularly telling.

Spanish second republic and catholicism

If you read the new lead that Mamalujo has written you should be able to see that he has no interest in presenting an NPOV treatment of the matter. sentences like " Although the statement was an intentional deception, the propaganda was accepted by many of the faithful" This is sourced to the pro-Franco Stanley Payne as is much else in the lead and all articles by Mamalujo. Are you familiar with this period in spanish history? He deleted much sourced text to write his version. Tosser wasnt very good as an edit summary but expresses frustration at the way editors like this operate - I think history and politics is no go for NPOV people really, wikipedia will have to sort it out if it can.

In politics, from the greek for citizen, polites, openness with regard to poitical/religious alignment is healthy. wikipedia is open democratic, political and religious alignments should be open. Why not ? I think there was sourced neutral material, mamalujo should have added to it if he thought it unbalanced if I get your drift, but he removed the lead en masse and replaced it with a single sourced POV piece.

I am the marketing manager for Phoenix Software International. You deleted a page about Phoenix Software International and any links to it from other pages. The Phoenix Software page was added by a third party. I did go in and edit some of the pages that had competitive products listed or mentioned and put in our company as well, while also cleaning up those pages.

Now, Phoenix is missing from these pages where we have made important contributions, while our competitors remain linked there. Phoenix Software is an important player in the mainframe world. I think if you asked some of our Fortune 500 customers and government entities, they would say that we are as important to their system administrators as IBM is. I don't believe we should be singled out and deleted while our competitors (some of them much smaller and less important than us) are allowed to remain.

Page Deletion

I was the creator of The Lightning Love page you recently deleted. I created a disambiguation page, due to the fact that when you google "Lightning Love" Every link is in reference to the popular Ypsilanti based band, but when you click the wiki link, it defaults to the irrelevant 1923 film. I understand the importance of keeping the film article, but I think it would be an easier navigation for users to have the option, upon clicking the link, to choose the band, or the film. For example, if you google "Bright Eyes"(popular band),click the wiki link, you have multiple options, the band, Simon and Garfunkel song, etc. You have also cited CSD A7, from my understanding I need to emphasize the importance of the article, by using references. I believe I have used 3 different references on the page, from very credible sources, (Metro Times, Motor City Rocks). I have also mentioned in the article, the link between "Lightning Love", and the "Von Bondies" the latter being a very popular national act. As you may notice, I am new to Wikipedia editing, I suppose if you were to explain in more detail, what I need to do to meet the guidelines ( I already felt like I was) I can better understand your position. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mafiosoitalian (talk • contribs) 16:17, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi. It seems that we block conflicted over the above user and my 3 hour block is the one in the log - however, you posted an indef block notice just before I posted my own notice.

If they wait out the block and then continue, then indeff'ing them seems reasonable.

Speedy Deletion of CoWorker Online

Dear Vianello

The page about CoWorker Online has been marked by you for speedy deletion per CSD A7. Very interesting that the page of CoWorker Online must be deleted then hundred of pages exists under the same category. If you could clarify for me why people should not be allowed to read about CoWorker Online when other similar companies are listed. Have a look under the page Comparison of accounting software. Here there are several software companies listed and they all have a page about the company itself - except CoWorker Online. When I designed the page for CoWorker Online, I took a copy of one of the exisitng listings and made the required changes so it shows the information about CoWorker Online. No extra content trying to advertise the product or company, just pure information based on the same structure as the other listings. It then seems strange that my page must be deleted, but the one I copied from can stay? Is this a personal choice of the administrator? If so, I don't think the nature of Wikipedia is right. The idea of Wikipedia is to get information about the subject and company. Having your page deleted per CSD A7 knowing you copied the structure of the content from an existing page seems a bit strange to me. Also the idea of having a link on Comparison of accounting software to each company mentioned is to read more about the company and get more detailed information. It seems irrellevant to me that the content can be considered as "No indication of importance" when in fact the company is listed on the wikipedia list. Is the choice of CSD A7 to "hide" the information of CoWorker Online from people? Why are they not allowed to read more about CoWorker Online? Why are people allowed to read about ALL the other companies but not CoWorker Online? What more information does the other companies provide that CoWorker Online did not provide? If CoWorker Online should be deleted for the reason "No indication of importance" then all the other company pages should also be deleted. That would only be fair, but by only deleting CoWorker Online under the CSD A7 seems to me like a pesonal attack on the company. How else can you translate this choice? Sorry for all the questions but is this situation I find it very hard to understand the choice for CSD A7.

Hi Vianello, you blocked a vandal yesterday, but it is happening again, as one of the editors pointed out on my talk page. Please see the recent history. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 18:33, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

This user is reverting articles without any reason again (as he always do). Maybe he will start an edit war soon. Thanks for the attention. WWEJobber (talk) 18:28, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Daman222

I'm a whole-hearted believer in AGF, but I also feel like I have a good nose for BS... If what they said was true (and it showed me what HE added in 1 box, and what I added in another box.) then the edits they made would also have appeared in the edit log by another editor right before them, right?  7  04:40, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Also - FYI - they are still under autoblock, presumably because their IP matches the anonIP that was doing the other edits at the same time.  7  04:42, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, if they're still under autoblock, then I guess that makes the matter pretty clear. Not a harmful peep out of the user so far though. Since I did the unblock, I'll keep an eye on 'em. Probably my responsibility to string them up in the event of WP:ROPE at this point. Thanks for sharing your concerns, I definitely see what you mean. It's possible the multiple edits did originate from one location, admittedly. I'll just keep a vigilant eye for now. - Vianello (Talk) 22:53, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Joyson Noel

Regarding User:Joyson Noel/Luis de Menezes Bragança and User:Joyson Noel/Francisco Luís Gomes, see the bottom thread on AN. You managed to delete them quicker than I could get back from the restoration page and remove the tag! You're quite fast. Courcelles 20:01, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Keep up the good work. Courcelles 20:07, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Requested move discussions

When making moves based on a requested move discussion, as you did with Extended Access Control, could you please also close the discussion. Suggestions on how to do this are here but the essential bit is the removal of the {{Requested move/dated}} tag (or older version - the one that produces the big notice) so it is no longer listed at WP:RM.

Files for speedy deletion

Hey Vianello. I noticed that you recently declined the G3 speedy deletion nomination of File:Narwhals breach.jpg, stating "Decline speedy and RM useless text. Perfectly legitimate image, the text content is just no good." However, since the image is hosted on the Commons, the file itself would not be deleted if you were to delete the file page here on Wikipedia, only the text. So deletion would have worked out perfectly fine in this scenario. I just wanted to let you know. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 00:34, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of the article "DaruDar"

I saw few hours ago the alert about the deletion for the reason of "No explanation of the subject's significance" but didn't have time to demonstrate it's significance showing the independent mass media sourses that wrote about DaruDar community in different countries. Could you publish back the article in order to let me do that? Karaboz (talk) 21:16, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami/Template:2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami

could you please provide a copy of the contents of the Talk:2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami/Template:2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami page and put them at this address: User:Gabriele449/Template:2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami. Please, If I have no use for them I will request deletion and you can delete them. Thanks and cheers. Gabesta449 ^{edits ♦ chat} 00:44, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Ambulatist

Hi, I got asked to look at this and I'm a bit puzzled. You speedy deleted the article as G11 ("Unambiguous advertising or promotion - pages that are exclusively promotional") but unless there's something I am missing, it doesnt seem to be "unambiguous promotion or advertising". It's describing a role not promoting a company or person or anything. Could you take a look as I don't understand what you had in mind or how this is covered by the criterion, thanks. FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 01:33, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Thomas O. Summers

The article was deleted before I received notice it had been nominated for speedy deletion. Please take a second look. I'm new to editing here but the A7 justification explanation includes this "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines." The article did "indicate why its subject is important or significant." Further citation from credible sources can be provided. Respectfully, Tchicken7 (talk) 03:28, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Without intervening, I took a look. "Prominent" is a very vague word. It could mean anything. Prominent to whom, how, by whose reckoning, and with what evidence of "prominence"? If the book was important then what factual evidence exists to show this - did it win awards, how widely published or republished was it, who stated it was invaluable, etc.

Behind words like "prominent" lie actual facts, reported in reliable sources. If those facts are stated, his prominence would be obvious. But as it stands, "X was a prominent person" is not really saying much, although it is a claim of importance it's a very nebulous one. Maybe a prod rather than speedy deletion, but either way the end result would be the same - it needs actual cited evidence to show notability. FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 12:31, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

The word "credible" there is kind of crucial. A credible claim to significance is one backed up by a reliable source, in my opinion. If you like, I can "userfy" a copy of the article for you so that you can work on substantiating that. - Vianello (Talk) 15:42, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

I came on this while looking at the pending AfD for Nashville Christian Advocate, a related article also created by User:Tchicken7. Based on the cached copy of Thomas O. Summers at Google, it appears to me that it did not qualify for speedy deletion. The article contained a source, and a credible statement of the subject's notability. There appear to be quite a few more sources about this person[3]; a 1909 biography says "No man outside the College of Bishops, has been a more potent force in Southern Methodism, than Thomas O. Summers."[4] Especially given the lack of BLP concerns, this is just the sort of article that should be brought to AfD, or userfied as you now suggest, rather than being wiped out by CSD before the new editor--and others who might want to assist--have a chance to look at it. Tchicken has already had another article quickly submitted to AfD which turned out to be a clear keep. Looking at Tchicken7's contributions and talk pages, this appears to be a new editor with the potential to contribute interesting material in a specialized area, who has not exactly had the warmest welcome here so far. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:04, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough, I can buy that. I'll make a userfied copy for Tchicken to buff up a bit and re-submit at his/her leisure. (Now up at User:Tchicken7/Thomas_O._Summers)- Vianello (Talk) 18:07, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:43, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Found a sock of an IP you recently banned

Jaden111111's first edit had pretty much the same content as 216.73.66.155's edits to Macbeth. Seems to meet WP:DUCK, I think. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:48, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

PLEASE ADVICE

I posted a comment on discussion page of Carnatic Music. An editor Ncmvocalist has deleted without discussions stating that I am Naadapriya. <<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Carnatic_music here>>. But I am not Naadapriya. Please advice me how can I proceed at least to post comments to point-out current obvious mistakes. If I revert him/her someone will block me. If I keep quite then the article will stay as is with errors. Thanks. 76.212.5.88 (talk) 06:29, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

mali grad

Contested deletion of Mali grad:

This page should not be speedy deleted because all content on Culture.si is released under the same terms as wikipedia; CC-BY-SA as you can see here:

• Terms of use
• Enhance Wikipedia!

do check these things next time.

--U5K0 (talk) 21:14, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Kindly undo your illfounded deletion of the above article

Could you to look into the Mali grad article a little deeper please? An article on a web site that is apparently a mirror of (presumably en.) Wikipedia can stay on that website even if the original Wikipedia article has been deleted - notoriously typical of this is facebook. A web site that copies an old deleted Wikipedia article can then carry-on presenting that article as a supposed mirror, or worse as an “Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported” that can be uploaded back to Wikipedia with seeming impunity as almost a primary source. The Mali Grad “free” and “mirror” article at www.culture.si, that appears to have been created no later than 30 March 2010 (see bottom of article’s page), is not backed-up with any references and therefore in no way can be considered as a reliable source or complete text for our article anyway – it doesn’t say it’s a mirror either. This raised my suspicions particularly as it has a Wikipedia-style format. Can you look back to before 30 March 2010 to see if this Mali grad article was created and subsequently deleted? If it is a Wikipedia mirror from before March 2010, how come our article has just been created? This article might be copyvio of a previously flawed and deleted Wikipedia article; if it is it should be re-deleted. I might be spinning around in circles here just as I believe this article is, but I think it’s worth investigation. Acabashi (talk) 03:02, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

BTW, I have just registered on the Culture.si web site. There is no obligation to provide reliable sources for anything written there - from what I see nobody adds any cites or proof anyway. Any edits go through the web site co-ordinators for approval - the more hyperbolic the better I bet - just look at the "mission statement" on the home page to get the flavour of the thing. As the site is basically a government promotional vehicle with approved content, what has been copy-pasted to our article is deeply suspect. Acabashi (talk) 04:24, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

Your decline of the speedy deletion of The Three Worlds indicates that you have not read the notes at Talk:The Three Worlds.--Jeffro77 (talk) 07:53, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you

...for the quick help. That was a particularly odd one, and a little disturbing. Just want to say how much I, and I'm sure countless others, appreciate all the extra and so necessary work that admins take on. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 04:08, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Annnnd, he's back. Under the IP User:58.178.145.167, the previously blocked anon IP User:58.178.150.189 has returned as to Rango (2011 film) today to make the same inaccurate nonsense edit. I left him at message at his original page. It looks like IP range 58.178 is the problem. Thanks for any attention to this. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 16:35, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

I am so sorry to keep bothering you. That seemingly disturbed individual is evading his block to return again to Rango (2011 film), making the same inaccurate nonsense edit under the IP 58.178.146.78 ... after his having been blocked 31 hours on Nov. 8 as 58.178.150.189 and blocked another 31 hours on Nov. 9 as /58.178.145.167.

He's also left yet another nonsense post, creepily linking to a girl's Facebook page, at my talk page (under another anon IP, 210.50.115.243).

Since it seems as if this 58.178 IP is an incorrigible vandal, I'm wondering if if might not be advisable to block that IP range, as I've sometimes seen admins do. And possibly semi-protect Rango (2011 film)? It doesn't look like this person is going to stop.

You were nice enough to get involved at the start, and I hate that this person is creating extra work for you (and me, come to think). I appreciate your patience. And again, I thank you sincerely for any help. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 03:08, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Oh, my, no apologies necessary! You admins take on so much more work than the rest of us, having to go on noticeboards and then handle disputes, vandals and assorted craziness. That's a job in itself. I've thought about applying for adminship, but I'm not sure I could handle the extra workload. My heartfelt appreciation goes out to all of you.--Tenebrae (talk) 03:16, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Vianello. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I just wanted to alert you again to what is now a pair of IP vandals at Rango (2011 film) — the original 58.178-range "Carrington" person and 65.35.201.35, whom I've tried to engage in dialog at User talk:65.35.201.35 — each making disruptive and incorrect edits. I've attempted to explain the issue regarding the latter IP at Talk:Rango (2011 film)#Edit-warring IP. I hate to keep asking for your help, but if you could....? With thanks, --Tenebrae (talk) 00:38, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

As 202.67.108.115 now, he's linked here to that young woman's Facebook page again. Near as I can tell, he's trying to impress some girl named Angelique Carrington by continually adding "Carrington" to the name of the "Angelique" character in Rango. It's gotten to a point where I think it's a realistic possibility that this person may be disturbed. This is all so odd. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:32, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of Hey Ash, Whatcha' Playin'?

I humbly request clarification on why you saw fit to delete my night's work on producing an encyclopedic page about this web series. The reasons mentioned are [No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content)], but I clearly defined it as web content with a strong following and produced as in-depth a significance as I could.

Please help me figure out whatever it was you wanted changed so that this page can go back online. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raizaiel (talk • contribs) 11:55, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this is where I am supposed to respond, but I appreciate the clarity, even if you don't remember. As long as it works for you now as it is, I'll consider the matter concluded.

Block of DrPerception (talk · contribs)

This user has requested an unblock and I'm inclined to give a second chance. However, I first wanted your input on the username issue. The username does not represent an organization, and it seems reasonable to me to let the editor edit under a pseudonym used in real life. What are your thoughts? --Chris (talk) 20:24, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

From the deleted article he created spammily: "William Albright Julian Herman (a.k.a. Dr. Perception) is a Baltimore hip-hop artist". No way can he use that userid . {{coiq}} is probably useful for them too (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 20:29, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I kind of agree with Bwilkins. I think a username change would be necessary to avoid this being self-promotion, since it is a professional alias, not just an alias. - Vianello (Talk) 02:53, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

MSU Interview

Dear Vianello,

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,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar
