Hi Cbrown: Can I get you to send out notification of April's WP:BIRD newsletter on April 1? The link is located at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Birds/Outreach/Newsletter_link. Thanks a lot! MeegsC | Talk 19:06, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
How are you doing this month? The WP:FILMS newsletter is ready. If you aren't able to send it out let me know, I got a spring break and time to send it if you're busy. Have a great April Fools Day and happy editing! -- Nehrams2020 ( talk) 05:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
You protected the googoosh article, citing a dispute between myself (as well as others) and Zipbip. The dispute arose from the switching of 'billing' the English or Farsi spellings first. As this is the Wiki-en, I was in favor of the English spelling being first, whilst Zipbip was not.
Since the protection, the user Zipbip has made no contributions, and it would appear that his account is an single-purpose account, (determining such from both Zipbip's contributions and - I will assume Good Faith here - the unintended 3RR violations in reverting the Farsi spelling back to preeminence). It would appear that in light of this, the dispute seems to have petered out. The article is as it should be, and new information (album releases, etc.) is needing to be added. Could I trouble you to remove the Dispute protection from the article at this time? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 06:16, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

According to this page the licensing policy was passed 18 March 2007, but the resolution itself has a different date. I can't log in on that wiki, so I thought I'd leave a note here. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 17:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I am writing to you to seek advice and guidance. You are listed as a "clerk" for the Arbitration committee and so I figured you may be able to answer my inquires. Recently on an article I edit, an admin blocked two users he was in a dispute with on that page, and prior to that blocking, they had protected a page and edited it, in what was not a consensus fashion, nor exempt by the rules of BLP. I attempted to open a RfC, detailing some users discussing the issue with them, however it was deleted. In the case of clear abuses of admin rights, who is suppose to be shown to attempting to resolve the situation? I tried discussing the issue with the admin, however they just assist they are correct, and ignore all points to the contrary. Is there a more direct place to report admin abuse as it seems its not really a dispute to be resolved. -- I Write Stuff ( talk) 13:05, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I am changing the Templates from ConfirmationImageOTRS or ConfirmationOTRS because they are in the Category:Pages using deprecated templates which says {{ PermissionOTRS}} should be used instead of the above templates. I tried to give an example but could'nt link it. Kathleen.wright5 03:01, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
I must protest your no-consensus close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Dwyer (professor). We have a clear consensus of non-sockpuppets. Did you take into account Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Dwyerj when closing and, if not, will you reconsider, or should I take it to WP:DRV? — David Eppstein ( talk) 19:17, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
I saw that you have just closed this AfD as "no consensus". I must say that I strongly disagree with your decision. I think that it would have been better to give this AfD more time or, if a decision had to be made now, "delete" would have been more justified.
I'll give my reasons below but I'd also appreciate if you explain to me the reasoning for your decision to close it now as "no consensus".
I have been fairly actively involved in acdemia-related AfDs lately (I think during the last month I have participated in over 80% of them). I had not seen such a weak case being resolved as anything other than delete before. There were no serious arguments put forward by the "keep" proponents other than the fact that the subject is a department chair at Richmond who is well respected and admired by his students and his colleagues. That may well be so, but it does nothing to establish notability pursuant to any of the existing notability guidelines, such as WP:N, WP:BIO or WP:PROF. No mentions of his work by other sources (let alone wide citability) have been produced or found. The publication record of the subject is very meager and a substantial chunk of them are essentially self-published (the Algana Associates ones). The people who provided "keep" votes are all new SPA users who by their own admission are either students or colleagues of the subject. Even if they are not actual sockpuppets of the subject of the article, User:Dwyerj, they clearly operated as his meatpuppets, per WP:MEAT and their votes, essentially obtained by vote stacking, should have been treated accordingly. There is an open suspected sockpuppet case at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Dwyerj. Moreover, the "keep" SPA proponents have engaged in other unseemly tactics in relation to this AfD such as creating a content fork D function when it became clear that Dwyer function was likely to be deleted. This kind of behaviour should not be rewarded. The timing of the closure was also problematic. There were two recent "delete" votes (the last two votes in this AfD, from April 25 and April 27) and more people would have commented given a bit of extra time (several regular academic-related AfD participants have not commented on this AfD yet).
Given all of this I don't see how a "no consensus" closure was appropriate at this time. As I said above, I would very much like to hear your reasons. Thanks, Nsk92 ( talk) 19:30, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

19:35, 27 April 2008 (UTC)Hi there. I'm curious as to why you closed the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International Virtual Aviation Organization (3rd Nomination) discussion with a "keep" result.
