Betacommand
As one of the admins who blocked Betacommand/Delta in the 12 month period leading up to the present ArbCom case, it would be helpful if you could look over the questions here and see how much information you can recall.  SilkTork   ✔Tea time  00:39, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

MSU Interview
Dear Asteroin,

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 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) 04:25, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Brown people AfD
Hello, I saw that you voted on the deletion of the article Brown people / Brown race back in January 2007 here. As you probably know the result of the voting was a slight keep, so the article is still there. I found the article recently and considered it unacceptable, so I nominated it for deletion again. Could you please visit the article or deletion page and cast your vote? I would really appreciate it. Thank you. FonsScientiae (talk) 14:09, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Duero/Douro
Asterion, can you please provide an indication of how you came about your number of citations on this article, before your move attempt. A simple search on either forms in English does not come across the numbers that you stated. Also, I am quite sure this is a controversial move, and therefore should require debate. ruben jc ZEORYMER  (talk) 12:20, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Duero River About 2,760,000 results; Douro River About 854,000 results. -- Asterion talk 20:25, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

I do not think that you should have made this move without consensus. Please put it back, then join in the debate on its Talk page. Thank you. DBaK (talk) 21:51, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Asterion. Unfortunately when you moved the article your move separated the article from it's Talk page moving it to the rump Talk page of a stub for Duero which had been previous been merged into Douro as the result of a merge discussion. In view of this problem and in view of WP:BRD (and failure to respond to other editors above) I have reverted the move. But you are very welcome to put in a WP:RM at Talk:Douro and make the case for a move to the upstream Spanish name. All the best. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:07, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
