You have been mentioned in a request for arbitration by DTParker1000 - possibly they consider you involved in some way, possibly they just asked you for advice as someone uninvolved (it's not immediately clear to me).

Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Hello,
I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.
Hello, im trying to use the resolution system, specifically for the Manosphere article.
It feels like too petty of a dispute to justify opening an RFC but the talk page has failrd, and its just broken down into people not responding and making accusations of misconduct over nonsense on all sides.
The crux of the issue is about the presentation of the language in the intro to the article, and the distinction between Natural (category theory) and arbitrary categories.
Specifically, the current language presents the article subject as an objective, coherent, extant, natural category, but constructs it by specifying members rather than criteria.
The talk page details at length the problems with this logically, why it creates a form of lie by structure, and how regardless of the source, of the structure of the material is presented in a way that presents subjective external frameworks as natural facts, thats not NPOV and its out of the scope of any experts authority to disregard the rules of logic.
Woukd you be willing to review the discussion and help me with setting up the appropriate request for dispute resolution.

Hey mate, long time no chat. I’ll drop you an email to check in too, but wanted to say a hello to see how you’re doing.

Steven! Good to hear from you! I no longer keep up with WP at all so don't have the foggiest about what's currently going on. I'm just glad that others have picked up the torch we lit for them. I just checked and I see that our compatriot Mr. Stradivarius is down to 1-2 edits a month and they're nearly entirely housekeeping. This place will wear you out. Cheers!

@Steven Crossin and TransporterMan: Hi all! I also am not really keeping up with Wikipedia these days.

Oh, it's like the good old days! I actually have a little one on the way myself! I actually came back to enwiki to take a crack at Wikipedia dispute resolution again, and having come back I am seeing merits in reopening MedCab in some format (we closed MedCab because it was redundant to MedCom, and then MedCom got closed), so am currently mulling over ideas and then might take them to the Village Pump to re-establish it...
