Attachment theory

Hi Seddon. I hope everything's good with you, and you come back fully some time soon. I know this mediation case has closed, but the participants still want some kind of resolution. I've spent a few hours reading through everything, and the only solution I can come up with is to block KingsleyMiller - his conduct seems to be causing all this, and he really isn't adding much of value to articles. This is a bit extreme, so I was wondering if you, as someone who has been involved in the mediation from a neutral perspective, could let me know what you think.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:A NAS question.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:A NAS question.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:29, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I declare myself to be one! - check out this page - and WT:NTWW - to my eternal surprise, my version of iTunes now checks NotTheWikipediaWeekly for updates, and downloads the podcasts automatically!

Many thanks!

Thank you...

...for participating in my RfA, which closed with 119 in support, 4 neutral and 5 opposes. I'm honestly overwhelmed at the level of support that I've received from the community, and will do my best to maintain the trust placed in me. I 'm also thankful to those who opposed or expressed a neutral position, for providing clear rationales and superb feedback for me to build on. I've set up a space for you to provide any further feedback or thoughts, should you feel inclined to. However you voted, thanks for taking the time out to contribute to the process, it's much appreciated. Kind regards, Gazimoff 22:28, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New antisemitism

Hello,

Would you care to review the current situation at this article, and comment on whether or not the outcome of mediation has been properly applied? CJCurrie (talk) 22:10, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

United States rainfall climatology

I've been in the long process of converting articles I'd improved over the years to GA class. I guess FAC would be the ultimate goal for all the articles, but work priorities are currently sidelining much wikipedia editing on my part during the past month, and likely will continue to sideline significant wikipedia editing through October. After I get back from a work trip, I could send it through FAC. That would be in a couple weeks. If you feel up to it, you could submit it sooner. =) Thegreatdr (talk) 17:48, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Nagle's talk page, New antisemitism mediation, LexisNexis

Hey there. My name is Aharon42. I saw on Nagle's talk page that back in May you were looking for someone with access to NexisLExis. I have access because I am doing Medical research with a proffesor at Emory University in Atlanta and I would be happy to to look things up for you. If you want to also just point the way to some articles that could be improved by doing literature searches just let me know. Im a new editor so any guidance or instruction you want to send my way would be greatly appreciated. Cheersaharon42 (talk) 19:13, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eh - it was pretty darn close to an A1. If anyone objects to it, I'll treat it as a PROD and restore it - same deal if the author recreates it. But yeah, do be careful with Twinkle, because it assumes you click the correct option the first time. I screwed up more than one nomination before I was allowed to just delete them.

Deprodding of [[:{{{1}}}]]

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from [[:{{{1}}}]], which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add {{proposed deletion}} back to the page. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

MfD nomination of User:Seddon/SandboxNWT

User:Seddon/SandboxNWT, a page you substantially contributed to, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Seddon/SandboxNWT and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of User:Seddon/SandboxNWT during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Jeffro77 (talk) 17:19, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks for your response. I originally saw the three user subpages of this article listed at Category:Jehovah's Witnesses literature a few days ago. User page articles shouldn't be referenced as articles. I left a comment on the Talk page of each of the users' articles, e.g. User_talk:Seddon/SandboxNWT (which you didn't respond to) on 28 September. Because Cfrito has not been actively editing for several months, I place a PROD tag on his subpage, and was subsequently advised by an admin that it should have had an MfD instead. Because I did not want to be accused of favouritism (because all three are in breach of the guideline), I placed an MfD for all three.--Jeffro77 (talk) 21:26, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MEDCAB medical degree

Hi, thanks for taking the case. I did the WP:3O DR which worked for a while, but then fell apart later on. I do MEDCAB myself, but thought it'd be better to let someone else have a go. For background, the 3O discussion is here. If I can be of any help, do let me know. Thanks! :) fr33kman -s- 14:02, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi- I and another editor have been involved in a lengthy discussion on the talk page of the "medical degree" entry. We seem to be going over the same issues repeatedly, and I thought you might be able to lend a helpful third-party voice. Thanks! Lamaybe (talk) 01:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Seddon. Thanks for the kind invitiation, but I don't use Skype, nor do I expect to in the forseeable future. fish&karate 13:49, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks from me as well for the invitation. I don't use Skype either, for various reasons, and in any case much prefer to use written text as a medium to communicate in, as opposed to oral communication. Hope the podcasts go well. If transcripts will be available afterwards, I'd be interested in reading them. Carcharoth (talk) 00:26, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the offer, however I have no access to a microphone system, so I am uncertain if I will be able to participate in this. Should I be able to do so, however, I would greatly appreciate knowing who is responsible for running the cast sessions; I have previously had some poor experiences with this program that have led me to be highly distrustful of certain users responsible for its operation. As mentioned on my candidate talk page, I also will not be very available over the course of the next week due to real life obligations. Sorry. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 16:07, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation Request

Hello, On behalf of the concerned parties in the mediation case of The Man Who Would Be Queen. I know that none of you have to accept our case. I felt that asking all of you would be the best first approach. If you have any interest in mediating for us, or not, please indicate this on the talk page of the mediation case. If you are outright interested, want to mediate this case, and need no other convincing then please indicate that as well and we can get the ball rolling. If not we will not bother you anymore. Thankyou. --Hfarmer (talk) 08:19, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If I may add to what Hfarmer wrote above, we very much need your help. As a group, we have had an enormous number of disputes on a set of related pages, and parts of this dispute have even put WP in The New York Times. The pages themselves remain an embarrassment to WP, and I hope you can help us solve our long-standing impasse for our own good as well as for WP's.

I can’t imagine what you or any other mediator uses in deciding which cases to take. I can’t say that the specific issues we need help addressing are novel (COI, incivility, etc.); however, I do have some confidence that most people would find the subject matter rather engaging. Such issues include the nature of transsexuality, the controversies between how (some) scientists describes transsexuality versus how (some) transsexual activists describe transsexuality, a book on the topic that immediately became wildly controversial, and the individual activists and scientists involved (some of whom participate here), all of which became quite ugly. The most complete (yet brief) description of where we now stand (in my opinion) is here.

Thank you for your attention, and I hope you can help us to resolve this wide-ranging problem.

The college is always looking for ways to make money. How can I help. specifically?~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 19:16, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RFA coaching

Hey,

I saw you listed over at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Status as not having any students right now. Not sure how busy you are, but if you have the time would you be willing to help me gear up for an eventual RFA? If you can't right now, I completely understand, but any thoughts on my editing would be greatly appreciated!
