Juanacho Block

Hey, I need your help. Juanacho is messing up some pages by deleting some sources and necessary elements. I want her/him to be blocked again with your help since you have done that before...I guess. Please do reply soon. I want Wikipedia to be a resourceful place but he/she is ruining it. Kikkokalabud (talk)

A GAN has started on Courtney Love and is currently on hold for an initial seven days to allow contributors to deal with copy-edit issues, building the lead, and trimming excessive detail. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 18:27, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Brexx

Hi Yalma, this is Brexx, you blocked me way back in 2008, and ok, yes before i deserved it, because i wasn't very familiar with the rules of wikipedia…but now im different …i total changed….I pledge to not put anything that i didn't personally write and not upload images or other media that are not entirely my own work. I understand that copyrighted material should not be put in wikipedia and that there will be consequences if users don't follow the rules of wikipedia and of the law. Anyone who wishes to edit wikipedia should follow their rules and take them seriously.

I have read the relevant policy pages on Wikipedia and some Wikipedia articles on the subject of copyright, i read the Wikipedia:Copyrights and the Wikipedia:Copyright violations articles several times and understand them completely. Wikipedia is very dear to my heart and now i fully comply with the rules of copyright and the rules of wikipedia and i will only assume good faith…….if you see all my edits from all my recent accounts, you will see that all im doing is adding reliable information with reliable sources…….please, i don't want to keep going from account to account…i want stability……ill do anything….i admit i should not have created all these new accounts, but what's done is done, and im begging for forgiveness and closure………if your still spectical, you can unblock me and have someone monitor my edits, im more than ok with that because i know that im now editing in good faith and adding reliable information with relialbe sources…..please open a discussion about unblocking me here and see what other admins think: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AN

side note about my brexx account: I forgot my Brexx password and the e-mail i registered when i created the account got deleted because i did not use it for a long time, , so i cant recover my wikipedia password, so i can't use the brexx account anymore...everytime i create a new account, i get blocked.....

Suri Cruise

Please unprotect the Suri Cruise redirect so it can become an article. While the redirect was perhaps the correct choice 5 years ago, when Suri's only claim to fame was being the baby of a celebrity, she has since become a celebrity in her own right, as a quick google search will likely attest.

Main page appearance: Brad Pitt

This is a note to let the main editors of Brad Pitt know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on January 10, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 10, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Brad Pitt (born 1963) is an American actor and film producer. Pitt has received two Academy Award nominations and five Golden Globe Award nominations, winning one. Described as one of the world's most attractive men, Pitt's first leading roles in big-budget productions came with A River Runs Through It (1992) and Interview with the Vampire (1994). He was cast opposite Anthony Hopkins in the 1994 drama Legends of the Fall, which earned him his first Golden Globe nomination. In 1995 he gave critically acclaimed performances in the crime thriller Seven and the science fiction film 12 Monkeys, the latter securing him a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and an Academy Award nomination. Four years later, in 1999, Pitt starred in the cult hit Fight Club. He then starred in the major international hit as Rusty Ryan in Ocean's Eleven (2001) and its sequels, Ocean's Twelve (2004) and Ocean's Thirteen (2007). His greatest commercial successes have been Troy (2004) and Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005). Following a high-profile relationship with actress Gwyneth Paltrow, Pitt was married to actress Jennifer Aniston for five years. Pitt lives with actress Angelina Jolie in a relationship that has generated wide publicity. (more...)

MSU Interview

Dear Yamla,

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
