Tom, how would you feel about having a co-nom at FAC? There are a bunch of people who have worked on the article, any of them would be fine. I'm thinking that FAC (and A-class, for that matter) will go better if someone is around all the time to answer questions. - Dank (push to talk) 15:40, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to bother you. We are currently having trouble finding an uninvolved co-ordinator to close a few ACRs.

ViSalus
I was just typing up my response to another user tagging the ViSalus incorrectly as a scam (used a non-RS source to back that claim up). There are some RS to support the notability of the company. I don't believe speedy was the correct tag for this article, and had no time to respond before it was deleted. This should have been tagged with {{Primary sources}} not the notability tag.

Bahamut0013
Moonriddengirl and myself are discussing a way to honour the late Bahamut0013 on his user page aside from the traditional preserved userpage method. We began discussing at her talk page, and have since moved the discussion here. As you awarded one of the two posthumous barnstars planned for inclusion in this tribute, I thought you might be interested in the discussion. Feel free to participate in the discussion.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:4 strokes engine.gif
A tag has been placed on File:4 strokes engine.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi Tom, hope your holidays were great. No, no one has gotten back to me in regard to the subject. I did send e-mails, including to ERcheck, who is not vert active in Wikipedia, to no avail. I don't know what to do, but I'll accept whatever you think is the right thing to do. I am still a little baffled by the request. Tony the Marine (talk) 15:32, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

hello Tom, I was wondering if you could do me a favor, since I gave my word to not use my "powers" until June. There is this user "User: Catémbe" who continues to vandalize the article of Herb Scannell by removing his photo and adding photos of other people, see: [6]. I was wondering if you could keep an eye on the situation and please warn him/her of a possible block. Also, if the person vandalizes the page, could you please semi-protect it? I hate to bother you, but I will truly appreciate your help. Thank you. Tony the Marine (talk) 21:17, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

MSU Interview
Dear TomStar81,
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
[[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_82#Learn_to_be_a_Wikipedia_Administrator_-
_New_class_at_MSU|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:
- 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
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)
