I know when I first posted (within a few hours), there was several good points on how I hadn't adequately expressed the notability... I can make it more wordsmithier or something... Ken is a pioneer and innovator in his field, and highly recognized, more than meeting the criteria for biography notability!

Hello! I was looking for someone with a lot of Wikipedia-related experience to adopt me. I'm fairly competent technically already, so I've been able to figure a lot of the basics out by myself. My primary concern will be of a dispute resolution/disciplinary nature as I originally made a Wikipedia account to try to bring balance to an extremely heated and politicized topic. In the short time I've had an account (about 2 days) my talk page has already started filling up, one of the people in particular is rather notorious on Wikipedia as an admin who abuses his position and edits articles in a biased manner, and who is often (and currently) a named party in ARBCOMs.
I'm not hoping for someone to personally intercede on my behalf in the event this person or any from his 'camp' steps over the line, so please do not mistake this adoption request as admin shopping, but I am anticipating the need for quite a bit of advice in the near future as I'm not the type of person to shy away from conflict when I know people are treating me unfairly - quite the contrary it makes me all the more determined to stick to my guns and dig in even deeper.
The effort and time I've been putting forth to familiarize myself with Wikipedia in order to contribute to this specific set of highly politicized and somewhat hijacked articles, have introduced me to the Wikipedia community which was unknown to me before as a casual user/reader. I do have a hope that I can stick around far into the future and contribute to articles dealing with a wide variety of subjects, especially those articles which are more friendly and less politically heated by nature.
Also, I apologize for having jumped the gun and adding my name to your list of the Adoptees, I misread and thought it was a list of people seeking adoption, I removed my name when I realized my error. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, +-Adam.T.Historian (talk) 01:45, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

I relisted, as there was a new concern brought up about whether those new sources introduced were reliable/secondary/independent enough to go towards notability - and I thought it could have been useful to have a bit more input after that comment. However, I have no objection to your close - and I agree with your assessment of the consensus. :) No worries, Cirt (talk) 18:53, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I was quite shocked to see "Pre-Siberian American Aborigines" deleted. I did not see the nomination for deletion and therefore did not have a chance to defend the article. Now that it is gone, I cannot even see whether the claims of the "killers" have any merit or not. All that I can say is: (1) it is by no means original research. Alternative theories of the population of the Americas have been held by reputable scientists and published in scientific publications; and not by me or by any friend of mine. The article was merely reporting on them. (2) The article (presumably) lacked references simply because it (like many good articles in WP) was written before WP had the polilcy and means to include them; and you cannot expect that Wikipedia's 10,000 volunteer editors will rush to provide references to some 2,000,000 articles, just because a handfule of editors decided that they should do so. (3) The claim that there is no Google reference is totally irresponsible. The name of the article was made up so as to reflect the collection of various theories, but of course each theory was published under its own name, or no name at all. (4) The article has survived several years of scrutiny by readers, many of whom presumably knew something about the subject. That should say something about its seriousness.It is scary to seee that perfectly good articles are being quickly and permanetly deleted after such a careless review by irresponsible editors who apparently do not know the subject and do not care to do their homework. How do you think that an editor feels when he has to go through this? Every such mistake does more damage to Wikipedia than 1000 silly articles would.Please restore the article and let responsible editors take care of it. Thank you. All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 16:26, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

I would like to suggest that you restore the entry on Keyontyli Goffney. The discussion was by no means unambiguous in its result. I think that we are dealing with a borderline case here: to be sure, the subject's main notability (in mainstream culture, one could say) resides in his arrest. However, he was well-known in the American gay subculture well before that, as attested by his appearances in numerous magazines, both pornographic and non-pornographic. To me, as an editor who is attempting to create a record of American gay culture, it is very frustrating to see my carefully documented work deleted (not for the first time) by editors who do not appear to be familiar with gay life. I would go so far as to say that there is a certain bias against gay articles, which are subject to much closer scrutiny than other contributions. I could point to dozens of entries that I came across just in the past week that are stubs, badly written, without proper documentation, etc. etc. and which nonetheless no one appears to be eager to delete. If you restore the article and someone else nominates it for deletion after a while, perhaps we can involve more people in the discussion. Thanks. GBataille (talk) 10:37, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I am not sure I agree with giving autoreviewer rights to Nkf31. This ed. has a COI with World Scientific, a relatively minor publisher, and has been adding multiple articles on their journals which I and Crusio and Abductive are busy removing--not just a few, but most of them. I'm known for being particularly tolerant in this area, but journals which are established for only a year or two and are in no major index are extremely unlikely to be notable. I & others have told him this, but he continues to add the articles. In a sense it does not matter, for the several concerned eds will surely check every article he enters, but autoreviewer is at least an apparent open invitation to spam.

This page has been targeted multiple times for deletion. It is a supporting page for the Water vapor article, and notes this in the page and in its page discussion. Additionally, the page also scientifically supports arguments in the discussion of Talk:Water vapor. It also, requests that people don't randomly slap tags for deletion in the page discussion as it is part of a larger project that is under large scrutiny and under constant update, including the page itself.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Symbolism (disambiguation) a different title by copying its content and pasting it into Symbolism. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

In regards AFD1 and AFD2 about articles about a Fred Figglehorn movie, I pretty much ignored both articles at the time, as they were lacking in content, lacking in sources, and were a tad premature.

User:Wexeb has apparently recently been granted rollback.

I am not a brand new editor, I simply cannot log in at work. Wexeb also immediately erased my question about their rolling back, apparently without reading it (by the way, their talk page says they are offline and gives a message to everyone putting in a new section they are vandalising - yet things are reverted anyway. Are they using a 'bot?). I do not want to see Wexeb punished, but perhaps counseled on the proper way to rollback and to deal with other editors.

Could you elaborate a bit on your no consensus close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lionel Blackman? Is your feeling that there is no consensus as to whether Blackman is notable enough outside of being a political candidate and therefore we keep, or that there is no consensus that candidate bios should be redirected or deleted if they are not in general notable? I ask because, as I noted on the AfD, a discussion was recently held where it was determined that we would amend WP:POLITICIAN to deal with cases just like these, and the result of that was that candidate articles where the person is generally not notable should get redirected. I think that guideline trumps some of the keep arguments, particularly since one of those supporting the keeping of the article was the only person who did not support the change to WP:POLITICIAN, and in a way is ignoring previous consensus when arguing "I still consider that PPCs for major parties should be kept until the election is over." We do need standards for these kind of articles, and I think this AfD close goes against the standard that was recently agreed to and therefore unfortunately muddies the waters, particularly since no rationale was provided. If you think the "no consensus" relates to whether or not Blackman passes the general notability guideline then you should say so, but really only one editor made that argument and I don't think that was sufficient to counterbalance the four editors who wanted to delete or redirect and the one keep !voter who suggested that Blackman likely was not notable in the absence of his candidacy. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 03:07, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Jason Upton. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.
I don't understand why this article was deleted. Jason Upton is a Christian artist known worldwide and considered influential by many as the links below testify.
Based on Wikipedia's criteria, an artist is recognized as being notable when he:

Integrity Music and EMI CMG (includes Sparrow Records, etc.) are a major music labels, regrouping notable artists and bands as Chris Tomlin, Underoath, KJ-52, Paul Baloche, Kirk Franklin, and many more.

Hi. I have inserted the following remark in the "Richard Dawkins" entry:
This view has been rebuffed by other scientists arguing that Darwin's inherent claim, ratio is a perfect tool to fathom 'reality' is out of kilter even within the house of science (challenged e.g by quantum theory and neurobiology), and that intuition, e.g. religious intuition, can be another tool to fathom particular aspects of 'reality', exemplified for instance by the intuition of mastergrade extreme sports athletes called "flow"[1].

Hey,
You closed AFD:Agency Republic as keep - but I think maybe a relist would be better?
The arguments for keep were based on the sourcing, but no one weighed in after the comments at the end (mine and another) which suggest that the limited interest and circulation primary sources were are the same two articles across different mirrored news sites. (They are all owned by the same company, all link to each other in the footer, etc).
Indeed, the same user created the article from a cut-and-paste as well as locating the article's "multiple sources". (The changes you link to were simply reformatting of existing sources added by the article creator.) WP:DUCK, in my opinion, would suggest that this was done intentionally to give the article the appearance of notability based on mulitiple sources.
I think more time to develop a consensus would be better here - what do you think? Addionne (talk) 11:40, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for answering my request on Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2010 March 4. However, I made a mistake when copypasting the name of the file to be restored. "My" picture is File:Millau-Viaduct-France-20070909.JPG; it should be identical to commons:File:Millau-Viaduct-France-20070909.jpg. The picture you restored, File:Millau-Viaduct-France-2-20070909.JPG, is another picture of the same bridge by the same user, so the problem is exactly the same.

You closed this as delete; since then a number of SPA accounts have been putting it in again, under various versions of his name, and getting them deleted G4. As I did one of the G4 deletions, the fans are agitating at me. One of the new versions contained extra sources, and I put it in the Incubator at WP:Article Incubator/Mark Boardman and told TVfanaticlady (talk · contribs) on her talk page that when she thought it was good enough she should approach you as closing admin, and if she could not convince you take it to DRV. Instead another SPA, Celebrityreview (talk · contribs), popped up with another version. So I have protected the title for the moment, and will refer the author, and an IP who is complaining on my talk page, to my earlier message to TVfanaticlady. This is to warn you to expect the fan club.
In fact, looking again at the Incubator version, I see that the extra interview which I thought was perhaps a significant source is not - I mistook it for an interview with Boardman, but it is actually with someone else, Dave Berry, and Boardman is not mentioned at all in the interview, only in one of the fan comments at the bottom. So it is scraping the barrel, and I don't think the incubated article is any better than the AfD'd one.
If they should manage to convince you, by all mean undo my protection. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:13, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Arbitrarily0
I'd like to have a word with you about result of two AfDs that you have closed a couple of days ago: (1) Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peek-A-Boo Poker and (2) Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bubble Bath Babes.
I am afraid I find the closure result somewhat questionable, since if you look again, you will see that none of the participants that supported Keep have been able to prove the notability of the article. So, I believe having Keep as the result, per Wikipedia policy, is quite unwarranted. Therefore, one would expect that a closure result should be any one of Merge, Redirect or Delete. (Although I initially was in favor of deletion, now I am convince that merger is a perhaps valid outcome.)
Would you please kindly reconsider your decision? Fleet Command (talk) 08:24, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
hi! I was in touch with you a week or so ago in regards to the article 'New Rochelle Council on the Arts', however, it was through a different account named Nrartshistory.

Therefore, I have created a new account which I am using now - nrarts, and I am hoping that this is acceptable given the circumstances. I figured the original account can be redirected to this one. Please advise me as to whether or not this account swap is acceptable, or not.

I recently added this link to the template because it got dropped in a recent template overhaul, although it was very useful. I have accessed this page numerous times from this template. Unlike AfD today, AfD yesterday provides a full day summary, and it is often useful to access at the beginning of the day when the AfD today page is nearly empty.

There was no consensus, but the second time the response was scant, and it was deleted. (You can find it in the archives, I think) I would like to write a new article Johannes Maas.

Dear Arbitrarily0:
This note is from a novice Wikipedia-ite, and is a request to take off the "merge" suggestion on the Vera List page.
I can attest, as a NYC-resident and attendee of its programs, that the Vera List Center is distinct from the New School. For one thing, according to its literature and website, while it has offices there and uses the New School facilities, it is a separate entity and has financing apart from the School. Its programs are independently determined, and its administrator is not a faculty member. Giachen (talk) 14:28, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Do you think you can undelete my page? I posted it under the undeletion thing, because it was wrongfully deleted. I spent an hour trying to make a page for my cousin's band, since they are getting popular and their first cd came out, and i decided to save my work so I wouldn't lose it. Then I go to upload a picture, and some person deleted my page, and they said it wasn't specific! Well, of course it wasn't specific, it wasn't even finished! This isn't fair. I wasted my whole morning for nothing. I checked, and h the person had wrongfully speed deleted it.

I am considering nominating this closure for deletion review, and respectfully request that you reconsider. The same issues have been raised at this as at the two previous AFDs, namely that the article is original research par excellence, and therefore should be cleaned up. The fact that nobody has done the required cleanup over nearly two years strongly points to the conclusion that the article is not maintainable as an encyclopedia article, and should therefore be deleted.

Hi, I grapped your name from the list of adopter's. I have just a single small question about policies and stuff here, I'm not very fond of the English.wiki rules. So here is my question: The redirect Tom Burns (academic) links to Tom Burns (sociologist), but there is another "academic" Tom R. Burns - also "a European/American sociologist"
What would be best to do with this case? There are not many llinks to "Tom Burns (academic)" anyway, can they be re-linked and the redirect be deleted??

Whacking with a wet trout or trouting is a good-humored way to notify normally constructive community members of an error they've made. It is normally used between experienced editors who are generally friendly colleagues, and it should not be used on someone you don't know well or are in a dispute with. If you are a new editor who wants to try it, you may experiment in the sandbox.

Hello, sir. Some further explanations are needed about the above mentioned RM closing, because your decision about the move seems, honestly and without prejudices, not to be correct. Community considered consensus was clearly showed on it (even just counting votes). The article is completely written by sourced supporting the move. An unhappy editor, the same who performed the first undiscussed move, start a huge mess, votestacking, using SPA accounts and above all unleashing his polemics against GTBacchus the precedent closing admin. Please review your decision after take a look at: Administratotr's noticeboard: Fausto Veranzio move. And also, please take a look to the reasons added by Vegaswikian in relisting the req move. Thanks in advance for doing an important effort in reviewing it. --Theirrulez (talk) 21:59, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks Theirrulez, for letting me know about this conversation. Arbitrarily0, hi. :)
The discussion about the move request over there is long and complicated, and it's actually a lot longer than it seems, because it spills over into other talk page sections, and even to an entirely different subpage, for the list of sources.
When I arrived at the RM, I saw a lot of off-topic discussion, which is all irrelevant. I noticed the following: (A) The titling decision should be source-based, since this is a source based encyclopedia. (B) There weren't a lot of sources in the article at all. (C) People were attempting to use various Google searches to determine the subject's "COMMONNAME", however the subject is obscure enough that the resulting numbers of g-hits constitute evidence that is inconclusive at best.
Taking these three factors into account, I decided to ask that people find actual sources, put them in a list, and add them to the article, so that we could get a more complete picture of how F.V. is talked about in the literature. Some editors then worked to create a list of sources, organize them, and start adding sourced material to the article.
After a few days of this, although participation was not universal, we had enough evidence to form a picture of how F.V. is talked about in published, reliable, English-language sources. In particular, lexicographers (mostly) use his Croatian name, and engineers (mostly) use his Italian name. Veranzio the engineer seems to be the subject of more English scholarship than Vrančić the lexicographer. Having made that observation, I would lean towards the Italian spelling.
I think the idea of a fresh RM is not a bad one, but it should be done properly. I would be willing to open and moderate the request. The important thing would be to keep it focused on encyclopedic considerations, which would mean that Theirrulez characterization of DIREKTOR's behavior and DIREKTOR's characterization of Theirrulez behavior would be completely irrelevant and off-topic. These guys like talking about each other waaay too much, and guys: you're both doing it.
What's important is that the decision, whatever it is, be made by considering the available sources, and following them as well as we can. -GTBacchus(talk) 16:33, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Please re-read the discussion and correct your closure. Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 23:29, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I am working on a project for London film premieres for a summer sponser and see Mark had a page before though it was deleted for lack of notability. However, I would like to add a new page for Mark Boardman and have already citiated below many missing articles regarding his TV, radio and other work which make me positive he should have a permanent page here. He would be a big asset to Wikipedia and a great resource. There are a number of people rallying for him to get one and his recent press in the papers and magazines should attribute this.
Having researched, I have used sources and the below is the draft I would like to submit.
Mark Boardman (born 1980) in Essex is a entertainment & showbiz expert spending 6 years as a journalist. As a self Gossip columist[2] and Paparazzi [3] Since 2007 he has been most Notable for his numerous TV appearances and celeb based documentaries.
His first experienced a major TV role as a chat show host on Homemade for T4 [4] which ran for 1 series where alongside his showbiz mate [5] Dave Berry modestly claims
Mark; as a celebrity hunter is really the star of the show and we are on the same level
In 2003, he appeared on the The Terry and Gaby Show [10] where as a audience member was invited up on stage by Gaby Roslin [11] a fellow vegetarian to talk about his weekly experience of attending the show and meeting stars including Michael Buble [12]
and shared experiences of his lifestyle.
Having met over 3500 celebrities in London [16] on the red carpet [17] where only a superstar [18] is worthy of shaking his hand. Mark was hired as the roving celebrity reporter for [19]and his first broadcast was for the Britawards [20]2007.[21] Celebrity Quotes
one of Tv's rising stars
Mark is gonna be a stars
Can you record a answerphone message for me
External links His official website [26] [27] Quotes Mark as saying to [28] "Can you record a answerphone message for me" A regular of Local radio and a celeb pundit and star blogger, Mark is regarded by many and listed as a minor UK celebrity on Pb works[29] Since 2004 Mark has run his own celebrity / London film premiere website and has nearly 3000 followers on Twitter [30]
Mark Boardman is trying vainly to keep up appearances. He started going out of his way to meet celebrities 19 years ago, though he stretched the definition of celebrity somewhat with a snap of Russ Swift - the record holder for parking in narrow spaces, as if you didn't know. But Mark has now become a sage in the art and recently grabbed the autographs of Ewan McGregor - "he's partial to a choc Magnum" and pop "star" Lee Ryan - "who I watched on the backstage bouncy castle with Jodie Marsh" at Popbeach. Classy.

Hello, Arbitrarily0! I suppose you are one of the administrators who normally deal with requested moves and that I came to the right place. I have a question about moving a certain article. On 15 June, a user requested that the article about Daniel Westling be moved to Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland. Westling will marry the Crown Princess of Sweden tomorrow; the moment he marries her, he will cease being Daniel Westling and will become Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland. Therefore, the article should be moved tomorrow (preferably around 16:00 but not before 15:30). Nobody has opposed the move, so there is no need to wait for seven days; in fact, we shouldn't wait for seven days so that we don't risk being inaccurate. Would you be able to perform the move?

Hi. Re WP:REFUND#Skye Prison, do you think it's really kind to userfy an article like this? It just raises expectations that it can be made acceptable by some kind of rewriting, whereas they are actually far short of WP:BAND. While not actually citing WP:No one cares about your garage band, (which I have actually been driven to do for the first time recently) I would have been inclined to tell him that just being "a real band with real fans" isn't enough and he should read WP:BAND and come back when they have achieved that standard.

Following three attempts at having this page deleted, a number of editors collaborated on bringing this multiply-tagged article up to policy and guideline standards of Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction). Comments were solicited at Talk:Fictional history of Spider-Man#Rewrite since May 26, and a final draft, created over a month of editorial input, was completed and put up for final comment at Talk:Fictional history of Spider-Man#Rewrite and replacement on June 25. On June 30, this consensus version, which confirms to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction), will replace the current page Fictional history of Spider-Man. As you have contributed to that page, we wanted to alert you to the opportunity for final comments. Thanks, --Tenebrae (talk) 17:42, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I am an old editor of CPIM article and I am feeling that a kind of Groupism is done against me and other fellow editors like Soman, Ravivajpayee and NithinJ, by Deshbhakta and a mediator Mr. Root. Deshbhakta(many users doubts that he has an rightwing agenda to push) is given a free hand by Mr. Root, Mr. Root warned other editors time to time, when they reverted the attempts of vandalism of Deshbhakta. Please if I will be get block(as Deshbhakta, Mr. Root are claiming from months), then it will prove that "Wikipedia has no place for Ideas and freedom of Editing, Freedom of Research", but just it has a sympathy for GROUPISM and SUPPORT to POV Vandalism. Please in any case if you come to mediate, then make a balanced opinion after talking to all the editors of that article, I am giving a list below.

Hello Arbitrarily0, I believe this should be fine to wait until you've returned. I see you have a lot of adoption requests; so, if you would rather not take this on, could you pass it along to another willing adopter (unless another willing adopter is watching this and will step in)? User:Shrik88music is having difficulties with editing. S/he appears to be a non-native speaker of English. Anyway, I feel an experienced adopter would be capable of helping him/her better than I am able to. Obviously, it's contingent on him/her wanting to be adopted, but I think s/he has shown a willingness to ask for, and accept, help.

Hi Arb!
I vote to reopen Boba Phat based not only on validity of links but also a mention on Wikipedia's own REAL Boba Fett page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boba_Fett . Read the last line in the last paragraph under the "#3 Reception" heading - if he has enough visibility & notoriety to be FEATURED ON the ACTUAL Boba Fett's page, CLEARLY this establishes credibility on an entire different level than considered previously. Also there were SO many KEEPS I believe this MUST be reopened for discussion, particularly because he is already about to be a feature at Comic Con SDCC in less than 2 weeks. Additionally, the HARD COPIES of "Sign on San DIego" and several other links that no longer work STILL EXIST, and once the page is reopened, these citations can be updated. Additionally if you review the (lengthy - expressing MUCH arbitration) AfD, you will see there are MORE than enough keeps. With this new discovery of a DIRECT MENTION on THE ACTUAL Boba Fett's page, it is OBVIOUS Boba Phat as a cosplay character deserves to be recognized as the most highly-known Star Wars cosplayer coveted & discussed EXTENSIVELY in interviews with both celebrities, media & the general underground cosplay culture. Isn't making Wikipedia as factual as possible the goal? Why leave out arguably the most famous cosplay character of the present generation? Thank you for your consideration. I DID file a review for Undeletion as well but wanted to express this to you, as were the unfortunate one to be put in such a lengthy review process, as the notoriety of Boba Phat remains strong & is simply only growing.-SheighZam (talk) 04:07, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

If I read it correctly, the move request deal with Victoria City (disambiguation), instead of directly dealing with Victoria City. Second, Victoria, Hong Kong was suggested only by one participants. Third, the common name for the Hong Kong city is Victoria City, and rarely simply as Victoria. There was consensus to merge Victoria City (disambiguation) into Victoria, but no consensus on the Hong Kong city.

Hey there, here for my 1 week checkup ;)
Could you review my handling of Khàtprinçia? I came upon it and quickly realized it was most likely a hoax, but I did not feel confident enough to delete on sight and opened an AFD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Khàtprinçia). Would you have deleted that on sight? Jujutacular talk 18:57, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
I appreciate you authorising Lancelot Ridley at DYK; I do however sense a small degree of reluctance on your part to revert "...during Henry VIII's reign..." back into the hook, although you have agreed to this. I do not like to leave, even minor, issues unresolved. My feeling was that the phrase, at least for an English-person, makes the hook more powerful. I also feel that the phrase helps non-English-people with the historical-period context. I accept that it makes the hook less punchy. I also accept that the date, 1542, is probably redundant now. I would welcome your own view, as my motivation here is to learn. I am perfectly willing to change the hook on reasoned debate *smiles sweetly* --Senra (talk) 17:36, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi. Please explain to me what this is. It appears that you are trying to relist a move proposal (No Gravity (2010 album) → No Gravity (Shontelle album)) for discussion, when the move has already taken place (3 days previously, 13 days after my proposal). You don't seem to have supplied a reason for this action. Further, you plunked your relist and signature right in between my nom and my sig. Now it looks like I've signed your signature.

Hey, I noticed that you listed yourself as invoked in the WikiProject Journalism project, and I hoped that you could help out on another collaborative community edited project.
I run quippd, a collaboratively edited social news site, which mixes elements of Wikis, social networking, and social news sites. You can get some more information about what we are doing at: http://quippd.com/about/intro
Basically, we want to get good coverage on news stories, collaboratively edited, like Wikipedia. We are trying to take the ideas of WikiFactCheck -- to make news less biased and speedier (unlike something like Wikinews). By combining social elements to the project, we hope to bring the benefits of wiki enabled fact checking and npov ideas to the masses.
I hope you check us out -- and feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns.

Hello Arbitrarily0! I just created a new task force dedicated to Latin American music. I was wondering if your bot can tag in every talk page listed in Category:Latin music along within the subcategories and articles. The main wikiproject is for the task force Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America with the banner in it. Thanks Magiciandude (talk) 00:36, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Now, why would your bot be tagging as "Latin" an anglophone singer (primarily to anglophones in the US) of the English-language Trinidadian genre of calypso? -- Hoary (talk) 13:38, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
Another concern is that you are placing the banner above a WPBiography banner for a living person (e.g.). The WPBio banner should receive "top billing" when living=yes. Future releases of the Plugin should take care of this, but for now it should be addressed via custom find & replace. –xenotalk 14:02, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi there, this edit broke the banner shell template, causing the article to appear to be not in any projects. I think the problem was that it moved the BLP=yes to the end, not between the template name and the 1= for the other banners.

Hi Arbitrarily0, I am curious at what point one should consider themselves qualified for being a mentor via the "Adopt..." program. My strong points are heavy work (compared to my edit count) in anti-vandalism, a decent understanding of how each rule and guideline applies, a willingness to assume good faith and an ability to copy-edit or help with other wording issues on proposed article inclusions (a lot of experience with that on the Star Trek Phase 2 project). My weaknesses are, I cannot write an article without lots of effort and time, have limited to zero article creation experience and sometimes tend to ramble. OTOH, I was going to put myself back up for adoption, but that was primarily to have someone to discuss perspectives on and ask advice. I'm realizing though, that I've already accumulated a decent sized list of experienced editors who are always willing to offer perspectives, review my actions or interpretations and so on - so I suspect a mentorship may not be what I need.
Anyway, I'd be interested in your opinion on what you think is a good balance or qualifications for adopting other users, as well as how far away from such criteria I may (or may not) be. Best, RobertMfromLI User Talk/Contribs 18:30, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

I've (finally) finished the first draft for Urban contemporary gospel (1980s to present).

Hi Arbitrarily0, We're hoping to close AJona1992's ANI (happened before I became his mentor, and part of the reason why I became it), but the terms proposed go above normal violation repercussions.

Hi, I was cleaning up a bit a newly created article, West Branch (literary journal) and moved it to West Branch (journal). When I went to the talk page to tag it for WPJournals, I was alerted that it had recently been deleted. I assumed it had been speedied, but from the log I see it was deleted after AfD. I have not yet tagged it for G4, because to me it looks like this new article might just squeak by our notability requirements. However, I don't really know how to handle this, as it was deleted after an AfD and re-created the same day. I hope that as an admin, you'll know more about this...

Hi there Arbitrarily0/Archive! You may be wondering, what have I done to sound the alarm this time? Nothing. I'm messaging you in regards to the adopt-a-user program, which currently has a backlog of users wishing to be adopted. This doesn't make much sense, as we have a considerable list of users offer adoption, so there shouldn't be any backlog. I've begun to eliminate this backlog myself through a matching program, but I need your help to make it work. Of course, adoptees and adopters don't have to go through there, but I believe it helps eliminate the backlog because someone is actively matching pairs.
On the list of adopters, I have modified the middle column to say "Interests." It's easier working with other users that have similar interests, so if it's not too much to ask, could you add your interests in the middle column? For example, if I was interested in hurricanes, computers, business, and ... reptiles? I would place those in the middle column. Counter-vandalism and the like can also be included (maintenance should be used as the general term). The more interests, the better, since adoptees can learn more about you and choose the one they feel most comfortable working with. The information about when you're most active and other stuff can go into the "Notes" section to the right.
Finally, I've gone around and asked adoptees (and will in the future) to fill in a short survey so adopters can take the initiative and contact users they feel comfortable working with. We all know that most adoptees just place the adopt me template on their user page and leave it - so it's up to us to approach them and offer adoption. So, please take a look at the survey, adopt those that fit your interests, and maybe watchlist it so you can see the interests of adoptees and adopt one that fits your interests in the future.
Once again, thank you for participating in the adopt-a-user program! If you wish to respond to this post, please message me on my talk page.

You recently moved the page Hadith studies claiming consensus on its Talk:Hadith studies. Seeing that I clearly disagreed on that talk page how can there have been consensus? Secondly, shouldn't the rational for the move be examined in the case that there is no consensus? As I presented numerous sources clearly illustrating precedence for the use of the name Science of hadith, and considering Wikipedia's policy of verifiability, shouldn't this have been given more consideration than the personal opinion of three user's who produced no references to support their claim that it is improper to use the word science in more than just a limited capacity?

Article contained some STATEMENTS like "The company specializes in tailor-made solutions that cover the entire spectrum of customer and business experiences" released by Aegis Limited to the PRESS which were actually facts about company, So how can they be called as copyrighted material, even if these statements are intended for public information or press release. I accept that some lines were copied from websites & as per wiki guidelines its wrong, but this was not intentional, instead for the clarification of that i also presented the references from where that STATEMENTS were taken.

Hi Arbitrarily0/Archive/2010,
We're starting to get into the busy part of the semester for Online Ambassadors, and we want to check in and see how you're doing, what your opinions about where we are now, and any feedback you may have.
Please answer these questions either on my talk page or send them to me by email.
1. How many mentees are you currently working with?
2. Have you reached out to students who don't have mentors yet? If not, would you be willing to?
3. What do you think of the content of messages on the Google Group?
4. What do you think of the volume of messages on the Google Group?
5. Do you participate on the Google Group much? If not, what would make you participate more?
6. Are there any problems you've experienced so far?
7. Is there anything else Sage or the rest of the Public Policy Initiative team could do to make your experience as an Online Ambassador better?
8. Are you okay sharing your username with your answers to our Public Policy Initiative team, or would you prefer to remain anonymous?

You seem to be leading the efforts regarding an article about a small company: Tape Wrangler. I have not posted an opinion on this issue. In July, however, you deleted another much larger Michigan compay, Highlight Industries. Highlight is many times larger, is well known as a quality supplier in North America, and takes part in national trade shows, etc. Highlight, by any standard, is more notable. How is it that you delete a major company yet retain a small one? Rlsheehan (talk) 00:01, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
I would greatly appreciate if you would review this and tell me if I am totally off my rocker. Currently, the consensus stands at 5 to 2 for moving Iron Maiden into a higher category, for which to try to alleviate things, I've provided better sources (such as The Telegraph, which is the same source used for a very large Mariah Carey claim).
Issues at hand:
There's a lot more, but I will let you read through it (assuming you wish to review it) and come to your own conclusions. Should I drop it? Does the consensus plus the additional cites trump his not intended but acted upon ownership of the article and his self imposed rules? Should I take it/him to AN/I? Should I take it to RfC (leary about this one, as he's already, whether intentionally or not, implied his willingness to canvas for support)?
At a loss...

Hello, I started a move discussion on here Talk:Anthropogenic hazard#Proposal to rename this article to the common name "Man-made disasters]] (or hazard(s)) and would like guidance on how long I should wait before I make the move myself or request a move from a disinterested party. The page existed for five years with an appropriate name but last month was renamed to this little known scientific name out of political correctness.

The page was created in March 2005 as "man-made disasters". Move history follows:
I looked in several Wiki policies for guidance and could not find any on suggested wait periods. Should I take this to the apparently inactive Wikipedia:WikiProject Disaster management?

Thanks!--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 18:10, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi, my name is James Fullerton, and I'm a teacher at Southern Lehigh Middle School in PA. Recently I've created a project that involves Wikipedia (WP) and small groups of students making a contribution to a WP article of their choosing, as long as the topic is related to the content of the course - being American Government, Civics, and Economics. For the past 4 weeks, students have become involved in the culture of WP, with many already narrowing in on a topic for their contribution. Here is the supportive material on Wikispaces (https://wikiedit.wikispaces.com/). Your assistance would be greatly appreciated! Would you be available to act as a mentor to a small group of students as they begin to offer additional content to an article of their interest? The team sizes are numbered between 5-7 students each. I will notify you as to who is in the teams with their WP user names. Jmfullerton (talk) 17:37, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Matt,
My name is Patrick and I was hoping you'd be my mentor for a wikipedia project I have in one of my classes at UC Berkeley. My group and I are working on improving the Crowdsourcing article. Any suggestions on the best way to tackle this project would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,

Whack!
You've been whacked with a wet trout.
Arbitrarily, where are you? Anyways, when you wake up after being knocked out by the trout, could you take a look at my first expanded article here? Thanks! The ArbiterTalk 17:43, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Arbitrarily, I asked for a deletion review for Jason Upton. See: Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2010 December 30. Happy new year.Cgadbois (talk) 04:25, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
