Hi there, seeing as you created WP:NOTNOW, perhaps you may be interested in the oppose section of Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Rehman 3. The candidate is a sysop on commons and definitely not a new user, yet someone has decided to link WP:NOTNOW in their oppose. I then asked if they could read Wikipedia:When not to link to WP:NOTNOW, but it was derided as simply an essay. If you could possibly clear up to this editor that NOTNOW should not be linked to experienced candidates, it would be appreciated. Jenks24 ( talk) 05:13, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello, My name is Natalia Olaru and I am a final year master student in the Corporate Communication programme at the Aarhus School of Business in Denmark. I am currently working on my final paper on the topic of the motivation of users to create content on collaborative media websites, the focus being Wikipedia. As a sample I chose the English and Danish portals. I would like to invite you for an online interview on the topic of what motivates you, as a user, to participate in editing and creating articles for this platform. Your real identity, and wikipedia account will be kept confidential through the paper. I plan on doing the actual interviews in the period between 6st and the 15th of May via Skype, MSN, Google Talk or Yahoo Messenger. I am, however, open to other channels of communication too. Please let me know if you would like to participate in this interview and the preferred channel. Thank you, Natalia Olaru Email: natalia.ioana.olaru@gmail.com -- MulgaEscu ( talk) 12:39, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

I highly appreciate your contribution towards Wikipedia however after all your due respect would you be kind enough to let me know that why did you write that "might like not to be one some day" every one wants to be the administrator its an honor, My apologies I think Wikipedia is my life therefore I just asked you, I hope you don't mind, Keep in touch brother. -- Faizanalivarya ( talk) 03:04, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

I do think you should look carefully at User:Thepoliticalmaster's edit history before considering granting rollback rights. There have been some downright vandalism edits, numerous edits that may have been intended in good faith but were unhelpful, and quite a few examples of total misunderstanding of Wikipedia's policies or methods. I do not think that the user is anywhere near to ready to use rollback. JamesBWatson ( talk) 15:01, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
Further I'd also say that you need to understand section blanking is not necesairally vandalism [2] and that "he got it, why didn't I" is not a positive argument. Myself, Fastily and JamesBWatson have all declined to grant rollback or commented or on concerns at this time, and I'm afraid with consensus of three established admins not to grant the issue is largely at an end, barring a request from you at WP:AN or WP:ANI - which I would strongly discourage you from making. The more you persist in trying to get this right the more you're not likely to be granted it to be honest. Sorry. Pedro : Chat 18:17, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

You said that if any of the editors leave Wikipedia that you'd remove them from the list. As I also have great respect for A4T, I am aware that he has left Wikipedia.

Hi Pedro, WRT the recent RFA where your comments were redacted from the talk page and subsequent blowup, I have some concerns with your behaviour. Firstly, I support the removal of your comments, as they pretty clearly constituted personal attacks. You may feel anger/concern at SG's approach, but you chose a completely inappropriate way to express it. The rationle of sexism is not totally wrong, as you used "screaming into the tea-towel". Most of your venom was admirably generic, but that's beyond doubt, so it ill behooves you to protest on the basis that you are being personally attacked. I really think you should just apologize to Sandy for that whole bit. Now if you don't want to just say sorry, consider where she's coming from. DYK does have a lot of problems, due to its intense rotation and easy "point of first contact" for reward-seekers. I'm not in agreement with all of her examples of copyplagios (and keeping in mind that I wrote the first draft of a related guideline), but her concerns were not wholly out of line. And I don't get the allusion to "12" in a username referring to age, since um, wouldn't you have to change nics on a regular schedule? But concerns over underage editors are not invalid, as they touch on the subject of maturity, which is a key requirement in (potential) admins. One sign of maturity is not being so concerned with your own age that you reveal it as a matter of course - and when maturity concerns come up in RFAs, it is invariably because the candidate has been telling people (at least one person) how old they are. That's a worthy topic of discussion.
Beyond those details, I have two main concerns with your conduct. As far as "RFA is broken", you just completely proved the rule with that outburst. If long-time community members are unable to restrain themselves, what example is being set for relative newcomers? And as an adminstrator, isn't the general notion that you should be setting the tone for community discourse and collegial editing? Your comments are very far from that standard, and I find myself disappointed. Franamax ( talk) 21:59, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello! I've been mulling over criteria for what I feel would be acceptable for recall and I'd like it to where only a select few editors I trust can ask for my recall. I'd like you to be one of those editors. I've outlined the process here. If there is any reason you would not like to be on this list, for example maybe you object to recall or perhaps you don't want to deal with the drama involved, could you please let me know?--v/r - T P 18:40, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Related to your concern of this close you mentioned at the latest RfB, I too was a bit dismayed by it. I have now come to understand that it's probably the best way to close it as if a specific bar was included in the close, it would probably have created a bunch of drama. Anyway, I just wanted to mention that the issue is still being worked on, but it is on hold until the twin RFCs have closed. This is because of a concern mentioned here.
While I'm here, I'd also like to mention how grateful I am for all your efforts to the project. You are one of a dozen or so admins that really make the project shine. I have appreciated your work for quite some time and wanted to thank you for making Wikipedia a better place. Thanks and best regards. - Hydroxonium ( T• C• V) 05:40, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
