Hi Xav, not sure if I showed you already or not, but you may possibly find the format in this RFC useful? Best of luck :-) Steven Zhang Join the DR army! 20:58, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Concerning page formatting, I suggest that technical RFC pages should have more pronounced warnings using {{ ambox}} instead of just bold text; this would help avoid errors like this one when a user confused the intro subpage with subpages for actual discussion. I'm not sure where to discuss this, so I trust you to move this motion forward. Dmitry ( talk• contibs) 07:39, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
Would you mind getting some help on the case? Paolo Napolitano 18:48, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Dear Xavexgoem,
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 community HERE, 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:
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 name HERE 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 ( talk) 07:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC) Young June Sah-- Yjune.sah ( talk) 22:31, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Given the extensive editing I had accomplished in the provision of WP:V, WP:RS sourcing for this article content and the rescission of the prior merge determination at my behest to accommodate a more fully credible closure, your "delete" determination has, quite frankly, left me flabbergasted. I am going to allow some time for proper reflection before deciding on what course of action to pursue inre your closure but, in the interim, I would appreciate access to the existing article content as composed prior to your deletion which, if I understand correctly a discussion above, can be made available.

Hi Xavex. I don't know how closely you've been watching the mediation, but there has been some progress, with a subpage set up to compile the RfC. However, there doesn't seem to be a shared understanding of how that should work. My view is that this page should only be edited in line with consensus formed in the mediation. Perhaps you share that view or perhaps you don't, but it would be good to get some guidance. FormerIP ( talk) 22:50, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for helping out with the RFC. I'm more interested in putting this behind us than I am finding any one 'exact' solution. So it's really good to see people working on this.
I was also very tempted to try a "philosophical" approach to this dispute, and long ago though the better of it. People consense best when they discuss a middleground between the lofty and the mundane. Good work . -- HectorMoffet ( talk) 03:57, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
Dear Xavexgoem/archive8: Hello, this is to let you know that a Mediation Cabal case that you are involved in, or have some connection with:
is currently inactive as it has not been edited in at least a week. If the issues in the case have been resolved, please let us know on our talk page so we can close the case. If there are still issues that need to be addressed, let us know. If your mediator has become inactive, also let us know. The case will be closed in one month if it remains inactive. You can let us know what's going on by sending a message through to your mediator, Xavexgoem, on their talk page. Thanks! MedcabBot ( talk) 18:09, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
![]() Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite Hello Xavexgoem. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Wikipedia, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. Please click

Hi, about this case [2]. I filed the case when there was a flurry of changes and little discussion; subsequently the page benefited a lot from the input of uninvolved editors (being the main featured page for the day helped). At the moment there is low-level discussion and some disagreement, but things have died down considerably. Then there are two more things: probably if any mediation is necessary, it should just be between two editors, not the gaggle that I enlisted, two of whom were not really involved. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this appears to be a behavioral issue rather than strictly a content one. So at the moment the whole thing is up in the air. Perhaps we should just put it on ice indefinitely, and see if later on it would be wise to initiate mediation. What do you think? The Sound and the Fury ( talk) 18:14, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Dear Madam / Sir,
Re: Irena Anders (Renata Bogdanska)
A friend recently researched the life of Mrs Irena Anders who was married to Polish General Wladyslaw Anders (of Battle for Monti Casino, Italy fame). As it turned out she was born to two very nationalistic Ukrainian parents and during the Second World War she decided to become Polish. She and her Polish General husband became 'the' Icons of Polish resistance during the Cold War era. Both her parents were 'hardcore' Ukrainian nationalists which it appears that a contributor to the site about her seems to want to eradicate. The evidence of her past was produced by B.N. of Great Britan and he developed this research into two YouTube clips. Much of the supporting evidence was provided by the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Institute of Church History in Lviv, Ukraine which was able to provide ample evidence of her Ukrainian roots. After all, her father was a priest, as was her uncle and many other relatives. Worth noting is that priest in the Eastern Rite (Greek) of the Catholic Church are permited to get married and have children.
I have been slowly changing the web site about Irene Anders to include her 'Ukrainian roots'. As soon as I make the changes, there is a contributor who removes my edits. Clearly, this person does not want the public to know about Mrs Anders Ukrainian roots. Can you please mediate this matter since I would like to greatly expand the profile to include many details about her past which have been posted in these two clips:
Irene Anders / Renata Bogdanska - Ukrainian Dimension http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBLqCiWqQ9M

Hello Xavexgoem, I hope you are well. You may or may not be aware, but there have been recent discussions on WP:Legality of Israeli settlements in one of the IPCOLL pages, with one of the discussions ending in "no consensus" on keeping/removing the sentence, and one of them being an RFC on starting an RFC. Sandstein suggested, in his close of the first and in a follow up question that I asked that a new RFC be set up. In a few comments with No More Mr Nice Guy on that IPCOLL page, and also his talk page, we talked about setting up an RFC and ways to do so. Would you be willing to be one of three admins to help close this RFC? Moonriddengirl has agreed to be one of those three. Please let me know. Thanks, nableezy - 05:35, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Because of your interest in dispute resolution,, I am inviting you to comment on the following RfC:
Talk:Monty Hall problem#Conditional or Simple solutions for the Monty Hall problem?
This dispute has been going on for over ten years and there have been over 1,300,000 words posted on the article talk page (by comparison, all of the Harry Potter books together total 1,084,170 words). Over the years the dispute has been through multiple noticeboards, mediators, and even the Arbitration Committee without resolving the conflict, so a lot of wisdom is needed here. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 01:00, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Saw your name at Wikipedia:Editor_assistance. I, along with some other editors, have been having trouble with editor User:GreatOrangePumpkin. My efforts at trying to improve the basic English grammar and point out citations issues on the article Fyodor Dostoevsky have been met with stonewalling and hostile reverts. He appears to have some serious ownership issues and regularly engages in WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. If a discussion gets to a point where his response becomes the critical turning point he just ignores the whole issue, hoping for it to go away. Maybe you can sense my frustration in the way I'm telling this but please bear with me. To the point: can you take a look at Talk:Fyodor_Dostoyevsky from the legacy section to the bottom and offer some advice on how I should proceed? I really am at my wits end.

Hi there. Sorry to waste your time with ancient history but in relation to this edit: [4] Offender is still referencing the failed mediation in a manner which other people can't counter because of being bound by the privileged nature of mediation. Instead of yet another telling-off, is there any chance that privilege can be vacated from that proceeding (and that proceeding only) so that the argument can be countered? Not a huge issue if it can't be, but thought it might be worth checking to see. Thanks for your time. Daveosaurus ( talk) 07:25, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Xav, not sure if I showed you already or not, but you may possibly find the format in this RFC useful? Best of luck :-) Steven Zhang Join the DR army! 20:58, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Concerning page formatting, I suggest that technical RFC pages should have more pronounced warnings using {{ ambox}} instead of just bold text; this would help avoid errors like this one when a user confused the intro subpage with subpages for actual discussion. I'm not sure where to discuss this, so I trust you to move this motion forward. Dmitry ( talk• contibs) 07:39, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
Would you mind getting some help on the case? Paolo Napolitano 18:48, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Dear Xavexgoem,
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 community HERE, 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:
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 name HERE 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 ( talk) 07:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC) Young June Sah-- Yjune.sah ( talk) 22:31, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Given the extensive editing I had accomplished in the provision of WP:V, WP:RS sourcing for this article content and the rescission of the prior merge determination at my behest to accommodate a more fully credible closure, your "delete" determination has, quite frankly, left me flabbergasted. I am going to allow some time for proper reflection before deciding on what course of action to pursue inre your closure but, in the interim, I would appreciate access to the existing article content as composed prior to your deletion which, if I understand correctly a discussion above, can be made available.

Hi Xavex. I don't know how closely you've been watching the mediation, but there has been some progress, with a subpage set up to compile the RfC. However, there doesn't seem to be a shared understanding of how that should work. My view is that this page should only be edited in line with consensus formed in the mediation. Perhaps you share that view or perhaps you don't, but it would be good to get some guidance. FormerIP ( talk) 22:50, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Please see the bottom of the mediation page. As this is a question concerning mediation policy, your input is needed. If you have to consult other mediators, that would be fine. If I have to appeal this somewhere let me know. Thanks. Alanscottwalker ( talk) 18:25, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for helping out with the RFC. I'm more interested in putting this behind us than I am finding any one 'exact' solution. So it's really good to see people working on this.
I was also very tempted to try a "philosophical" approach to this dispute, and long ago though the better of it. People consense best when they discuss a middleground between the lofty and the mundane. Good work . -- HectorMoffet ( talk) 03:57, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
Dear Xavexgoem/archive8: Hello, this is to let you know that a Mediation Cabal case that you are involved in, or have some connection with:
is currently inactive as it has not been edited in at least a week. If the issues in the case have been resolved, please let us know on our talk page so we can close the case. If there are still issues that need to be addressed, let us know. If your mediator has become inactive, also let us know. The case will be closed in one month if it remains inactive. You can let us know what's going on by sending a message through to your mediator, Xavexgoem, on their talk page. Thanks! MedcabBot ( talk) 18:09, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
![]() Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite Hello Xavexgoem. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Wikipedia, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. Please click
HERE to participate. You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page. Steven Zhang DR goes to Wikimania! 11:30, 5 April 2012 (UTC) |
Hi, about this case [2]. I filed the case when there was a flurry of changes and little discussion; subsequently the page benefited a lot from the input of uninvolved editors (being the main featured page for the day helped). At the moment there is low-level discussion and some disagreement, but things have died down considerably. Then there are two more things: probably if any mediation is necessary, it should just be between two editors, not the gaggle that I enlisted, two of whom were not really involved. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this appears to be a behavioral issue rather than strictly a content one. So at the moment the whole thing is up in the air. Perhaps we should just put it on ice indefinitely, and see if later on it would be wise to initiate mediation. What do you think? The Sound and the Fury ( talk) 18:14, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Dear Madam / Sir,
Re: Irena Anders (Renata Bogdanska)
A friend recently researched the life of Mrs Irena Anders who was married to Polish General Wladyslaw Anders (of Battle for Monti Casino, Italy fame). As it turned out she was born to two very nationalistic Ukrainian parents and during the Second World War she decided to become Polish. She and her Polish General husband became 'the' Icons of Polish resistance during the Cold War era. Both her parents were 'hardcore' Ukrainian nationalists which it appears that a contributor to the site about her seems to want to eradicate. The evidence of her past was produced by B.N. of Great Britan and he developed this research into two YouTube clips. Much of the supporting evidence was provided by the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Institute of Church History in Lviv, Ukraine which was able to provide ample evidence of her Ukrainian roots. After all, her father was a priest, as was her uncle and many other relatives. Worth noting is that priest in the Eastern Rite (Greek) of the Catholic Church are permited to get married and have children.
I have been slowly changing the web site about Irene Anders to include her 'Ukrainian roots'. As soon as I make the changes, there is a contributor who removes my edits. Clearly, this person does not want the public to know about Mrs Anders Ukrainian roots. Can you please mediate this matter since I would like to greatly expand the profile to include many details about her past which have been posted in these two clips:
Irene Anders / Renata Bogdanska - Ukrainian Dimension http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBLqCiWqQ9M

Hello Xavexgoem, I hope you are well. You may or may not be aware, but there have been recent discussions on WP:Legality of Israeli settlements in one of the IPCOLL pages, with one of the discussions ending in "no consensus" on keeping/removing the sentence, and one of them being an RFC on starting an RFC. Sandstein suggested, in his close of the first and in a follow up question that I asked that a new RFC be set up. In a few comments with No More Mr Nice Guy on that IPCOLL page, and also his talk page, we talked about setting up an RFC and ways to do so. Would you be willing to be one of three admins to help close this RFC? Moonriddengirl has agreed to be one of those three. Please let me know. Thanks, nableezy - 05:35, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Because of your interest in dispute resolution,, I am inviting you to comment on the following RfC:
Talk:Monty Hall problem#Conditional or Simple solutions for the Monty Hall problem?
This dispute has been going on for over ten years and there have been over 1,300,000 words posted on the article talk page (by comparison, all of the Harry Potter books together total 1,084,170 words). Over the years the dispute has been through multiple noticeboards, mediators, and even the Arbitration Committee without resolving the conflict, so a lot of wisdom is needed here. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 01:00, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi. You posted a comment at an RfC today "I'm curious how it appears democratic ...". It looks like perhaps you meant to say "bureaucratic". No big deal, just letting you know. -- Noleander ( talk) 19:50, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Saw your name at Wikipedia:Editor_assistance. I, along with some other editors, have been having trouble with editor User:GreatOrangePumpkin. My efforts at trying to improve the basic English grammar and point out citations issues on the article Fyodor Dostoevsky have been met with stonewalling and hostile reverts. He appears to have some serious ownership issues and regularly engages in WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. If a discussion gets to a point where his response becomes the critical turning point he just ignores the whole issue, hoping for it to go away. Maybe you can sense my frustration in the way I'm telling this but please bear with me. To the point: can you take a look at Talk:Fyodor_Dostoyevsky from the legacy section to the bottom and offer some advice on how I should proceed? I really am at my wits end. Many thanks. ~ Alcmaeonid ( talk) 02:06, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi there. Sorry to waste your time with ancient history but in relation to this edit: [4] Offender is still referencing the failed mediation in a manner which other people can't counter because of being bound by the privileged nature of mediation. Instead of yet another telling-off, is there any chance that privilege can be vacated from that proceeding (and that proceeding only) so that the argument can be countered? Not a huge issue if it can't be, but thought it might be worth checking to see. Thanks for your time. Daveosaurus ( talk) 07:25, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, I noticed that you haven't been as active at DRN as you was before. DRN has been a bit backlogged lately and we could use some extra hands. We have updated our volunteer list to a new format, Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteers (your name is still there under the old format if you haven't updated it) and are looking into ways to make DRN more effective and more rewarding for volunteers (your input is appreciated!). If you don't have much time to volunteer at the moment, that's fine too, just move your name to the inactive list (you're free to add yourself back to active at any time).
