Hey, you're lighting up my watchlist with this! Seriously though - what an exciting opportunity! I've had The Marriage of Heaven and Hell on my to-do list for ages, so if I'm around editing this summer, count me in! Hope all is well (it seems to be!). Take care.

Would love to join the Blake task force. In your invitation you mentioned my various edits as expressing an interest in Blake. Did you notice my user-page notes I did my Master's Thesis on Blake. The Master's Thesis is online at the Swedenborg House of Studies website, though I'm not sure if that elevates it to WP's criterion of being a citable source. (They requested to post it online because they liked it's high quality.) For what it's worth, it is here. [1] -- WickerGuy ( talk) 19:48, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello again Sadads. Was wondering if we could extend the scope of the project to include the miniatures.

Wikimedia DC invites you to join us for two exciting events this weekend:
On the evening of Friday, April 19, we're hosting our first-ever WikiSalon at our K Street office. The WikiSalon will be a twice-monthly informal meetup and collaborative editing event to help build the community of Wikimedia enthusiasts here in DC; please join us for its inaugural session. Light refreshments will be provided.
On Saturday, April 20, we've partnered with the George Washington University to host the All Things GW Edit-a-Thon at the Teamsters Labor History Research Center. Please join us for behind-the-scenes tours of the University Archives and help edit articles about GWU history.
We look forward to seeing you at one or both of these events! Kirill [talk] 20:03, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
Wikihounding "Wikihounding is the singling out of one or more editors, and joining discussions on multiple pages or topics they may edit or multiple debates where they contribute, in order to repeatedly confront or inhibit their work. This is with an apparent aim of creating irritation, annoyance or distress to the other editor. Wikihounding usually involves following the target from place to place on Wikipedia."
We may disagree on the "Cornet Castle" but the history clearly shows you followed me and went to my pages and undid them. The time stamp of the history shows my edits in minutes without even having the time to research the cited work and look at the edits.
In one of your attacks on me was an edit I did on the College of Lake County, you stated,
"I removed the information from College_of_Lake_County because much of the information presented does direct individuals towards specific sources (see WP:Reliable sources ). Why don't you try getting some help from the WP:Teahouse which you have a link to at the top of the page? They can walk you through the best practices on Wikipedia, Sadads ( talk) 20:31, 16 April 2013 (UTC)"
I cited that own College's website? So a College is not a creditable source?
It clearly shows that... #1with the edit history times you could not have had time to even verify the information, #2 you have been following me and undoing all my edits, and #3 you are just making up stories so you don't look bad (College of Lake County example above)
I ask that you stop hounding me, this would also include enlisting your college friends to hound me, and lets just move on and forget each other. I have not reported this as I would like to try to resolve this between ourselves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrickdene ( talk • contribs) 03:07, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Sadads. I see that you're an online ambassador. I'm the Professor for Aaron Frank's environmental law class, and while you're not signed up for my course, I was wondering if you'd be willing to take a look at any or all of the articles my students are working on. One of the aspects of this sort of course is that students understand that they are putting their work out before the wikipedia community for review. In the past, there hasn't been that much activity on their pages as they were working on them. I was hoping that if you were willing, you could take a look. If not, no problem.
The students now have draft articles in mainspace and are starting to review each other's articles, and they could also use a preliminary review by an experienced Wikipedian in this area. If you get a chance, ideally sometime before Thursday or so, please take a look at the following list of articles and leave feedback on the talk page:
Thank you! Aarf613 ( talk) 17:18, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Sadads! I see that you've given some feedback to the students. This is very helpful. Not only do they need the feedback, but just letting them know that others from the wikipedia community are reading and reviewing their articles will up the stakes and remind them that what they are writing will be read by others. Aarf613 ( talk) 05:23, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your commentary. We just need to get a uniform decision. So that I don't have to fight his battle for each novelist. If 20% of the people who watch each article want them removed, I will be fighting this battle over and over and I don't want to.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 20:37, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along.

Hi Sadads,
I hope life has been going well for you since the GLAM Boot Camp. Do I remember correctly that you mentioned a form letter you had prepared that had proven successful in convincing people to release images to the public domain or under Creative Commons licences? If so, would you be willing to send me a copy of that form letter?
Also, thank you for your edit on the When God Writes Your Love Story article. I have nominated the article for featured status here. I thought that, as one of only three users who have edited the article, you should be notified of the featured article candidacy. Any contributions you are willing to provide in the discussion would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I and User:Keilana are OAs for this course project. Another professor, teaching another section of the same course, has just decided that she would also like to run this Wikipedia project. This is very last minute -- the course officially starts tomorrow. But as you can see, the course page is already thoroughly documented and very detailed, and so the role you would play would be as a mentor and guide for editing, and as a reviewer for articles as they are written.
Would you be able to help with this? If so, could you please let us know as soon as possible? I will be setting up the new section's course page this evening. Thanks! Klortho ( talk) 20:20, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi Sadads; and thanks for the nice cup of tea. Was it Assam tea? My own literature studies in fiction are in Cormac McCarthy and Thomas Pynchon. One quick question, I went to the book page for "Blood Meridian" and there was some exchange over if McCarthy's "Evening Redness of the Sun" is close to "Morning Redness of the Sun" by Jacob Boehme. McCarthy is a fan of Jacob Boehme and I was wondering if you could explain what was happening there, or maybe how to participate or otherwise? AutoJellinek ( talk) 23:36, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
Just a short update. My thoughts were for possibly doing a short wiki page for the portrayal of minorities in American Art from the 17th Century to the 21st Century, on a basic outline of century-to-century, at first, limiting to major works of art and going up to at least Basquiat. Any interest in possibly joining in such an attempt? AutoJellinek ( talk) 17:22, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Sadads, I hope you have been well since we met at GLAM Boot Camp in DC! I just wanted to bring Wikimedia LGBT, a proposed user group and thematic organization that promotes the development of content on Wikimedia projects which is of interest to LGBT communities, to your attention. I am sure you are so busy with your current projects, but I hope you might be able to direct people to this group if they are interested in LGBT content in any way. Of course, you are also more than welcome to indicate your interest/support, if you wish. Hopefully we can get some LGBT-related GLAM/Education/etc. projects up and running in the near future.

You wrote on Victoria's page - "I am doing my best to create opportunities for them [students] not to be disappointed by a clearly superior article suddenly appearing where theirs should go". Can you explain clearly what you mean by this and what you see as the implications for wiki generally and standards of sourcing specifically. Ceoil ( talk) 03:20, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi Sadads, I wanted to wait a few days to stop by and comment, but decided to stop by and leave a shortish comment before real life duties take me away for most of the rest of the month. Basically the issues here are these: 1., is it appropriate to ask an editor not to edit a suite of articles, which apparently are in preparatory stages for a given college class; and 2., is it appropriate to expect long-term editors, those who presumably will be around when the students are gone, to perform clean-up tasks; and 3., is it in the project's interest to allow substandard sourcing in student-written articles? First, I won't be pursue the issue more at this time; instead I'll respect the request not to edit Blake and allow your students to complete their projects in the interest of creating less stress for the students. However, I think these are all serious issues that probably need to be addressed on a higher level. I'll look into whether we have a noticeboard for student written articles (I thought one was started?) and maybe will confer with Mike Christie who's given good advice in the past. I do know that editors such as SandyGeorgia have had serious problems in terms of post-end-of-semester clean up, and I've experienced it myself on the Hemingway pages. Well, many of those are now a mess and I haven't gotten to them - which is the concern I have here and what Ceoil is trying to ask about. Who will do the clean up if those of us invested in the pages and who are here on the ground are simultaneously told to stay away? That is the question that I'll probably be following up with next month or in the new year. On a side note, just so you know - nothing malicious was intended when I started editing " The Tyger". I saw this edit on my watch (the vandalism was sort of funny!), took a look at the page, noticed the sorry state and in a moment of idleness spent a bit of time sprucing up with sources at hand. But all the while I was expecting a message from you, (which did land on my page), and that too concerns me. The rest I'll let go, but after this experience, I'm leaning toward articulating my own philosophy about how best to use wikipedia as a teaching tool though I don't really have the sense that my voice is any more or any less important than others. Anyway, good luck with the end of the semester and with the student assignments. Victoria ( talk) 17:20, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Wikihounding "Wikihounding is the singling out of one or more editors, and joining discussions on multiple pages or topics they may edit or multiple debates where they contribute, in order to repeatedly confront or inhibit their work. This is with an apparent aim of creating irritation, annoyance or distress to the other editor. Wikihounding usually involves following the target from place to place on Wikipedia."
We may disagree on the "Cornet Castle" but the history clearly shows you followed me and went to my pages and undid them. The time stamp of the history shows my edits in minutes without even having the time to research the cited work and look at the edits.
In one of your attacks on me was an edit I did on the College of Lake County, you stated,
"I removed the information from College_of_Lake_County because much of the information presented does direct individuals towards specific sources (see WP:Reliable sources ). Why don't you try getting some help from the WP:Teahouse which you have a link to at the top of the page? They can walk you through the best practices on Wikipedia, Sadads ( talk) 20:31, 16 April 2013 (UTC)"
I cited that own College's website? So a College is not a creditable source?
It clearly shows that... #1with the edit history times you could not have had time to even verify the information, #2 you have been following me and undoing all my edits, and #3 you are just making up stories so you don't look bad (College of Lake County example above)
I ask that you stop hounding me, this would also include enlisting your college friends to hound me, and lets just move on and forget each other. I have not reported this as I would like to try to resolve this between ourselves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrickdene ( talk • contribs) 03:07, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Sadads. I see that you're an online ambassador. I'm the Professor for Aaron Frank's environmental law class, and while you're not signed up for my course, I was wondering if you'd be willing to take a look at any or all of the articles my students are working on. One of the aspects of this sort of course is that students understand that they are putting their work out before the wikipedia community for review. In the past, there hasn't been that much activity on their pages as they were working on them. I was hoping that if you were willing, you could take a look. If not, no problem.
The students now have draft articles in mainspace and are starting to review each other's articles, and they could also use a preliminary review by an experienced Wikipedian in this area. If you get a chance, ideally sometime before Thursday or so, please take a look at the following list of articles and leave feedback on the talk page:
Thank you! Aarf613 ( talk) 17:18, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Sadads! I see that you've given some feedback to the students. This is very helpful.

Do I remember correctly that you mentioned a form letter you had prepared that had proven successful in convincing people to release images to the public domain or under Creative Commons licences? If so, would you be willing to send me a copy of that form letter?
Also, thank you for your edit on the When God Writes Your Love Story article. I have nominated the article for featured status here. I thought that, as one of only three users who have edited the article, you should be notified of the featured article candidacy. Any contributions you are willing to provide in the discussion would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I and User:Keilana are OAs for this course project. Another professor, teaching another section of the same course, has just decided that she would also like to run this Wikipedia project. This is very last minute -- the course officially starts tomorrow. But as you can see, the course page is already thoroughly documented and very detailed, and so the role you would play would be as a mentor and guide for editing, and as a reviewer for articles as they are written.
Would you be able to help with this? If so, could you please let us know as soon as possible? I will be setting up the new section's course page this evening. Thanks! Klortho ( talk) 20:20, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi Sadads; and thanks for the nice cup of tea. Was it Assam tea? My own literature studies in fiction are in Cormac McCarthy and Thomas Pynchon. One quick question, I went to the book page for "Blood Meridian" and there was some exchange over if McCarthy's "Evening Redness of the Sun" is close to "Morning Redness of the Sun" by Jacob Boehme. McCarthy is a fan of Jacob Boehme and I was wondering if you could explain what was happening there, or maybe how to participate or otherwise? AutoJellinek ( talk) 23:36, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
Just a short update. My thoughts were for possibly doing a short wiki page for the portrayal of minorities in American Art from the 17th Century to the 21st Century, on a basic outline of century-to-century, at first, limiting to major works of art and going up to at least Basquiat. Any interest in possibly joining in such an attempt? AutoJellinek ( talk) 17:22, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Sadads, I hope you have been well since we met at GLAM Boot Camp in DC! I just wanted to bring Wikimedia LGBT, a proposed user group and thematic organization that promotes the development of content on Wikimedia projects which is of interest to LGBT communities, to your attention. I am sure you are so busy with your current projects, but I hope you might be able to direct people to this group if they are interested in LGBT content in any way. Of course, you are also more than welcome to indicate your interest/support, if you wish. Hopefully we can get some LGBT-related GLAM/Education/etc. projects up and running in the near future.

You wrote on Victoria's page - "I am doing my best to create opportunities for them [students] not to be disappointed by a clearly superior article suddenly appearing where theirs should go". Can you explain clearly what you mean by this and what you see as the implications for wiki generally and standards of sourcing specifically. Ceoil ( talk) 03:20, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi Sadads, I wanted to wait a few days to stop by and comment, but decided to stop by and leave a shortish comment before real life duties take me away for most of the rest of the month. Basically the issues here are these: 1., is it appropriate to ask an editor not to edit a suite of articles, which apparently are in preparatory stages for a given college class; and 2., is it appropriate to expect long-term editors, those who presumably will be around when the students are gone, to perform clean-up tasks; and 3., is it in the project's interest to allow substandard sourcing in student-written articles? First, I won't be pursue the issue more at this time; instead I'll respect the request not to edit Blake and allow your students to complete their projects in the interest of creating less stress for the students. However, I think these are all serious issues that probably need to be addressed on a higher level. I'll look into whether we have a noticeboard for student written articles (I thought one was started?) and maybe will confer with Mike Christie who's given good advice in the past. I do know that editors such as SandyGeorgia have had serious problems in terms of post-end-of-semester clean up, and I've experienced it myself on the Hemingway pages. Well, many of those are now a mess and I haven't gotten to them - which is the concern I have here and what Ceoil is trying to ask about. Who will do the clean up if those of us invested in the pages and who are here on the ground are simultaneously told to stay away? That is the question that I'll probably be following up with next month or in the new year. On a side note, just so you know - nothing malicious was intended when I started editing " The Tyger". I saw this edit on my watch (the vandalism was sort of funny!), took a look at the page, noticed the sorry state and in a moment of idleness spent a bit of time sprucing up with sources at hand. But all the while I was expecting a message from you, (which did land on my page), and that too concerns me. The rest I'll let go, but after this experience, I'm leaning toward articulating my own philosophy about how best to use wikipedia as a teaching tool though I don't really have the sense that my voice is any more or any less important than others. Anyway, good luck with the end of the semester and with the student assignments. Victoria ( talk) 17:20, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
