Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight ( talk) 17:19, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Durova. Sorry if I'm bugging you, but I have a quick question. I currently have an FAC at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/2006 Atlantic hurricane season, and a user recommended that I get the article copyedited. I was told that you are good at copyediting, so I was wondering if you could take a look at it and see if you can give it a quick copyedit. Thanks in advance, and if you need anything done just tell me. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 22:41, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Durova's thirteenth law: Editor X has a strong ideology and comes to Wikipedia to promote it, sidestepping various policies along the way. Editors Y and Z object, so Editor X presumes Y and Z are conspirators for the opposing ideology. When Y and Z point to X's policy violations, X wikilawyers to accuse Y and Z of similar policy violations. Run any ideology through that grinder and it produces the same sausage. - from User:Raul654/Raul's laws, added by me on 5 April 2007. [2] Durova Charge! 02:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, fwiw I disclosed my own POV on the underlying topic two years ago at an arbitration case where I was the sole defender of a young earth creationist: I'm about as staunch an evolutionist as they come, privately, but I set personal politics aside when I log into Wikipedia. I later gave evidence regarding the Discovery Institute and other ID activists at a different arbitration case. I've done some work on the Mary Leakey biography and added some photographs related to human evolution to Commons and various articles, but when it comes to the disputed articles I generally restrict my efforts to dispute resolution.

Hi Durova,
Just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:Agarplate redbloodcells edit.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on May 15, 2008. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2008-05-15. howcheng { chat} 23:46, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
BTW, this has been moved to Template:POTD/2008-05-17. I originally moved to make way for what was supposed to be an anniversary, except that the requestor got the initial date wrong (they asked for the 15th but the actual date was the 14th). howcheng { chat} 04:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
I have been thinking over this for a few weeks - I almost wrote this a fortnight ago, but events made me hold back - but I am volunteering as a co-nominator should you express a wish to run. I do not foresee a time where I would begin to believe it possible that I might consider that we share the same views on a lot of subjects and interpretations of policy, but that is not the same thing as believing that you would be an excellent admin. I am of the opinion that your previous stint in the position was generally positive for the community, and that the one major misuse of the tools was the result of an unfortunate conclusion drawn from a poorly executed "investigation" (which itself reflected poorly upon the open editing model of Wikipedia) conducted in an inappropriate atmosphere of bad faith. However, and notwithstanding my principled opposition to such manner of conduct, I truly believe that you have learned and re-evaluated your conduct from that incident, and that your subsequent actions on WP have demonstrated that you have an understanding of the pitfalls of adminship (and I am all too willing to have the beartraps pointed out to me) and of the belief in an innate superiority of judgement coming along with the buttons. I think you would be a better sysop than you were previously.
As I said, this has been on my mind for a little while. I have written at length above, because I am uncertain how you would view such a suggestion from me given some of our previous interactions and because of the general difference in opinion that we hold over many aspects of WP. I also realise that you had a very unpleasant experience which resulted in you giving up the bits, and I would sympathise if you felt unready to face the likelihood of a rerun in the event of reapplying. It is as much for the latter consideration that I have volunteered to co-nominate, a voice from that which may have been considered a natural opposer.
As I have mulled this over for some time, I have no expectation of a speedy response. Suffice to say that this offer remains open for as long as is required. LessHeard vanU ( talk) 22:50, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to bug you with this. You kindly gave some advice regarding the balance of the above article - I have since removed a further conspiracy theory that seemed the least sourced, and some more information documenting the event is on the way in. Could you cast you eye over it again for me, and let me know if the balance is improved, taking into account the hoped expansion of the "Aftermath" section. Problem is, I can't get another independent editor looking at it, and having edited it so heavily myself, I'm not sure I should attempt to judge the balance without input!

Hi, I would like to know why you removed my Myths and Legends section in the Joan of Arc article, after all they are subject of interest concerning her. Okay, they might be legends rather than confirmed truths but I believe that they are important ones which add charm and appeal to the subject — and I did supply references. The issue of Joan spotting the real Dauphin in a crowd is especially famous and important. Cheers.-- Marktreut ( talk) 17:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes I had a question about the nature of Eleemosynary's block. I was informed that you had fully self-identified. (I now see that my understanding of this was flawed.) I brought the issue to the blocker, and then to a wider community for input. I have no axe to grind against you, on the contrary, your contributions to the project seem quite useful. Rather I would simply like to see Eleemosynary, who has been a useful member of our project, rejoin. It seems like the issues can be resolved to mutual satisfaction, even though there are strong feelings involved. Wjhonson ( talk) 17:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

hello,
i hope i am talking to the right person, recently my website was blacklisted and i did not know why.
i had put my website www.rammedearth.info on the rammed earth page. it was removed so i put it up and it was removed again.
Was someone maliciously removing my site? a Competitor? i didn't know so i continued to re-post. i only posted on pages related to environmental building and rammed earth.
then found out my site was blacklisted and had no idea why, in my ignorance.
since i have researched this more on wiki, i realize i shouldn't have put my link there.
what i don't understand why no one would e-mail me with a courtesy warning it is on my website instead of going through the trouble of editing my posts.
i only discovered the posted wiki warning today, not much good.
sorry for any trouble to anyone, how can i get off the blacklist? i do not want to be on any blacklists, it's bad energy.
thanks for your help

G'day NotTheWikipediaWeeklian (p'raps we need a catchier nom de plume?) - it's terribly short notice but I'm going to be hosting a discussion tomorrow, Thursday 15th May at 23.00 UTC (head to the 'NotTheWikipediaWeekly' page for full info, and a date and time convertor) - that's about 21 hours from now....... There could well be an additional conversation 24 hours later - so take your pick! - I will likely cover the topics which I nominated, and am aiming for a snappy 40minute conversation - do come along if you can! cheers, Privatemusings ( talk) 02:10, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I would like to know why you removed my Myths and Legends section in the Joan of Arc article, after all they are subject of interest concerning her. Okay, they might be legends rather than confirmed truths but I believe that they are important ones which add charm and appeal to the subject — and I did supply references. The issue of Joan spotting the real Dauphin in a crowd is especially famous and important. Cheers.-- Marktreut ( talk) 17:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
It was suggested by fellow WP:USRD editors that I ask you to help copy edit my current FAC, M-35 (Michigan highway). Any assistance would be appreciated. Imzadi1979 ( talk) 00:16, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Durova. I have just replied to you on this thread on AN and wanted to make absolutely sure you saw. I made a mess of it last time, so I thought I should let you know properly this time! Sam Korn (smoddy) 13:17, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
It is my pleasure to request a Special Edition Wikiproject Triple Crown for WP:USRD. Should you be gracious enough to grant my nomination, USRD will have 6 editors with TCs. Including myself, they are: Scott5114, Holderca1, Mitchazenia, NE2, and Davemeistermoab. Thank you for your time an attention. Imzadi1979 ( talk) 03:19, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes I had a question about the nature of Eleemosynary's block. I was informed that you had fully self-identified. (I now see that my understanding of this was flawed.) I brought the issue to the blocker, and then to a wider community for input. I have no axe to grind against you, on the contrary, your contributions to the project seem quite useful. Rather I would simply like to see Eleemosynary, who has been a useful member of our project, rejoin. It seems like the issues can be resolved to mutual satisfaction, even though there are strong feelings involved. Wjhonson ( talk) 17:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for using your situation as a case study with Steve's coaching. I figured it was recent enough and documented enough that it could help him learn that many things around here involve shades of meaning and nuanced decisions. And well I am a business major and we do love case studies as teaching methods :) MBisanz talk 20:20, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
You, MartinPhi, and I have previously worked on the Harris Coulter bio, [3] and it seems ready for prime time. What are you waiting for? Curious minds want to know. With appreciation... DanaUllman Talk 23:51, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

The title says it all; I thought you might be interested, given your advocacy for more mentorship in RfA. I'd like your feedback before I propose it formally in the future. Best and friendly regards, – Thomas H. Larsen 23:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
I think someone in the NTWW chat room showed us a tool that counts number of times an editor has been reverted. I stupidly did not make note of it. Am I imagining this? Does such a tool exist? Thanks.-- Filll ( talk | wpc) 17:19, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Dear Durova, I have created a userpsace page that charts all of my AfD and MfD participation should you ever wish to review it and offer suggestions here. Sincerely, -- Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles Tally-ho! 18:31, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Also, if I recall correctly you were somewhere in the vicinity of California's fires in the not-to-distant past. As I have seen on the news that the states is experiencing new fires, I hope that you, your friends, and family are all safe.

hello,
i hope i am talking to the right person, recently my website was blacklisted and i did not know why.
i had put my website www.rammedearth.info on the rammed earth page. it was removed so i put it up and it was removed again.
Was someone maliciously removing my site? a Competitor? i didn't know so i continued to re-post. i only posted on pages related to environmental building and rammed earth.
then found out my site was blacklisted and had no idea why, in my ignorance.
since i have researched this more on wiki, i realize i shouldn't have put my link there.
what i don't understand why no one would e-mail me with a courtesy warning it is on my website instead of going through the trouble of editing my posts.
i only discovered the posted wiki warning today, not much good.
sorry for any trouble to anyone, how can i get off the blacklist? i do not want to be on any blacklists, it's bad energy.
thanks for your help
