Unreferenced BLPs

Hello One! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 399 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Tony Fisher (American football) - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Troy Hambrick - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
3. Kip Carpenter - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Dyne

Can I ask how you reached the conclusions that this was no-consensus. While the votes were evenly split the delete side referenced policy and clearly demonstrated the lack of in depth secondary sourcing outside trivial mentions, primary sources and press releases. The keep side were uniformly arguments to avoid such as unsourced assertions, and even confirming that references were mentions. Please can you expand how you weighed the votes or revisit the close?

My RfA

I (Guoguo12) have withdrawn my nomination and would like to thank you personally for your opinons. But why you, seeing as your !vote wasn't all that enlightening by the time you wrote it? Let me elucidate: I am curious as to how one (pun not intended) can !vote oppose because of "time-related concerns" in one hand and claim that RfA is dead in the other. Was it not you that described how you passed with only 1,400 edits five years ago? Was it not you that said the following?

"We, as a community, need to look inside ourselves and remember that adminship continues to be "no big deal"."

And was it not you who so accurately claimed that "we almost expect prospective admins to be machines nowadays"?

Do believe me when I say that I am in no way irritated because of your !vote; I was bound to fail, and for reasons that I had already predicted. I am merely confused. So, I would be happy if you could enlighten me as to your opinions on the RfA system. Is it broken? Dead? Or is it merely changed, like I said in my withdrawl statement? And if the latter, ought we to fix it or not? Guoguo12--Talk--  02:51, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Upon further examination of the support and oppose sections, I find that the !votes mostly divided on the issue of whether or not content contribution really matters. So, what are your opinions on this issue? Guoguo12--Talk--  02:55, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your question. While I do agree that people get caught up over ludicrous details, I consider the amount of time contributed to Wikipedia to actually be quite important. I hope that even if you disagree that you have contributed here for too little time, you agree that it's a fair reason to object someone's RFA candidacy. Not to mention that I probably passed RFA by sheer luck and not because my record was sterling, exactly. In any case, it's definitely possible for you to become an admin one of these days -- a lot of people fail on the first try. Just keep on doing good things and I might consider supporting you in the future. One two three... 03:49, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I see. I find your argument concerning experience acceptable, but only because it is the best we have. After all, neither time nor edit counts nor GA counts can truly quanticize how capable an editor is; but then again, what can? There is no perfect system, no system devoid of biases. Man is inherently biased. People cannot take things for granted because that is how science works: one must prove things, often through numbers. And while the number of GAs I have (zero) could in fact correlate to my content contribution abilities, it may not. But, hey, that's what people want to see, isn't it? Numbers. Oy, it's a cruel world! "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Well, if people want to base their judgements on numbers, I guess I'll just have to go back in six months with ... numbers. Again, thanks for your input and speedy reply. Don't worry, I still enjoy editing ... they can't quanticize fun, can they? Guoguo12--Talk--  04:03, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Rationale request for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aubrey Wentworth

Per the request here by Flatscan (talk · contribs), please add a closing rationale to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aubrey Wentworth. Please add a closing rationale even if the DRV is closed before you can do so, so that participants will understand your close. Also, please add it as a separate comment from the close, so participants know that it is a post-closure rationale. Thank you, Cunard (talk) 00:13, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

MSU Interview

Dear One,

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 communityHERE, 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:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

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 nameHERE 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) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.11.206.39 (talk) 03:40, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Whitemencan'tjump.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Whitemencan'tjump.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.
