Hi Metzerly, I've come across your name a few times on labour related articles, and I thought I'd mention Wikiproject Organized Labour to you. It's fairly new, and might be of interest. Cheers. --Bookandcoffee 10:55, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Unions in Latin America

Hello, and thanks for all your work on labor unions in Latin America, two topics in which Wikipedia is currently deficient. I just want to ask you to take a minute and look at Wikipedia:Naming conventions, which states that the names of foreign-language organizations should be translated to English for the article's title. I usually just make the Spanish-language name a redirect to the main page. I only mention it because it ends up being a lot of work to move pages afterwards because of all the redirects. Just something to look out for. Thanks again for your work.--Rockero420 04:01, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

I added the union infobox to the Authentic Labor Front page. After I downloaded the "historia", I was having trouble accessing their site (it wasn't loading properly), so I couldn't go to actualidades...couldn't determine who is currently heading them. Also, I put the DF as their headquarters. I wasn't sure about that-- all I saw was that they have offices in many major cities. I was just kind of assuming they had a main office in the DF. So if you know or can find out, I'd appreciate it. Also, I was thinking of moving Charro (Mexican politics) to Charrismo. Any thoughts?--Rockero420 00:12, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Shachtman

You've done some excellent work there. I really think you should be very proud of that entry. 'Deformed workers states' are those established through the post-war extention of the bureaucratic dictatorships. This position was developed at the third and fourth world congresses of the Fourth International. --Duncan 17:51, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at [[Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/French Turn]], and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.

As you can see there is an open mediation case involving user: Jacrosse. Acute problems may be referred to WP:ANI. I hope it all comes out well and will be watching. Let me know if I can help. I am an admin, not that it matters. Cheers, -Will Beback 08:20, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I've had the same problem with Jacrosse removing disputed tags on Neoconservatism without so much as an edit summary much less an explanatory note on the talk page. It's infuriating.—thames 14:25, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

AIV vs VIP

Hi Wpzeitgeist. I noticed you added an entry to Vandalism in Progress. That page is only for very specific cases, as described by the page's guidelines. Your alert would be better placed on Administrator intervention against vandalism (WP:AIV), where it will usually be processed within minutes. Many alerts that are incorrectly placed on Vandalism in Progress are never dealt with, simply because they become old before an administrator gets to them. Thanks for your efforts. :) --lightdarkness ^(talk) 21:15, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

French Turn

I've been assigned to moderate the dispute on the French turn. See you there. Thesocialistesq 05:56, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

French Turn

I saw your comment just now. I can totally understand your exaspiration. I've also walked away from numb-head disputes like this, and find that things have a way of working themselves out. On the other hand, I really think this can be overcome. Are you still on Yahoo? I dropped you a line there. --Duncan 19:17, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

How's things? --Duncan 17:06, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

He seems to be in remission here and on neo-conservatism, so I will wait to see how he behaves over the next week. The problem is that he thrives on attention. If he reverts then I will go to arbiration over all his Shachtman-themed edits. The other contributors on neo-conservatism also seem to think he needs to better learn how to work consesnually. --Duncan 11:35, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Please note that I have now referred User:Jacrosse to the Arbitration Committee for their consideration. Provisionnaly, I have listed you as a party in the dispute. Let me know if you would not like to be a party. You can find the arbitration request at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration#Jacrosse. If you wish to, please append to the "Statement by DuncanBCS" heading. We must keep our response to 500 words or less, or it may be removed without warning by the Committee clerks.

Hi, Metzerly. I think it might help the current arbitration case be accepted by the committee if you could write a short statement in support of our request, summarizing your experiences with Jacrosse. I don't like spending time on these things—I'd much rather be editing—but I think it's important that the situation be dealt with so that we can go back to more productive things. Best wishes, and thanks in advance, Hydriotaphia 00:24, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Socialist Convergence (Mexico)

Hi there. I hope you are keeping well. Someone wants to turn Socialist Convergence (Mexico) into a redirect page unless we can make it less stubby. can you help? I saw you've contributed there before...! --Duncan 17:04, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Br cgt logo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

Speedy deletion of Template:MAS Bolivia results

A tag has been placed on Template:MAS Bolivia results requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{tranclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 16:07, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Ds brazil logo.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ds brazil logo.gif.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 23:10, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Non-Free rationale for File:Lechin.jpg
