Third Opinion Requests
I removed the post because by convention and to maintain the list, we remove taken entries.Curb Chain (talk) 23:31, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks mate, I wasn't going to remove it just yet in case I felt I wasn't versed enough to address the issue; but figured noting that I was investigating it worthwhile given how many times we double up and clash on 3O's (a good sign of activity at least!) but I'll definitely be able to assist with this one. Thanks again. BaSH PR0MPT (talk) 23:33, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * You very are welcome and thank you for the friendly response. You are welcome to comment even when other editors have given a 30.Curb Chain (talk) 23:37, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Wouldn't that be a fourth opinion? I may be interpreting incorrectly due to many years of brainwashing on statutory interpretation which implies a purposive approach, that being if it were meant to be 'third party opinions' it would be called 'third party opinions' which implies that intrinsic to the third opinion is that it's a third, not fourth, nor fifth?

I've picked up a few massive oversights in other peoples 3O's that diverted the direction articles have taken but have considered jumping in with a fourth opinion to be too bold in the past, so if you can give me any insight on 3O from that point of view I'd greatly appreciate it! It's actually bugged me a bit recently, perhaps 'party' need be inserted to avoid ambiguity and provide clarity?

I'll wait for your response, then possibly throw something up on the talk page indicative of our discussion to see if other chaps can clarify and / or see if we may be onto something that needs clarification! :) Actually, strike that, I'll finish this 3O first and stop getting side tracked. >_> BaSH PR0MPT (talk) 23:43, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * You raise great points, but I believe WP:Third Opinion is more of a form of agency on wikipedia that helps editors go to for initial help:
 * Think of it as a reception desk or a library desk. A reception desk usually provides information or direction to further information such as where the manager's office is, or where the washrooms are.  A library desk would do the same thing but provide information that a researcher is seeking.
 * I realize we have WP:BURO, and I refrain from calling WP:30 a government agency, but it is a good "forum" for people to go to when a situation is deadlocked. Being a "government agency" of Wikipedia, I believe it should be transparent, and remember that we work towards conseneus, and that Wikipedia does not work on voting nor is it a dictatorship, which is why I wouldn't see it as intrusive to have multiple opiners on 3O requests.
 * I believe this is the reason behind the naming of WP:Third Opinion. Please don't take the forum in the literal sense.  I have WP:30 watchlisted and ALWAYS audit and check the 30 opinions.  I don't always read what the 30 opiner said, but I always have the boldness to opine as well if I am enthused enough to do so (I have done this once).
 * It isn't too late to comment on issues that have already (been) taken on WP:3O. In fact any issue is open.  WP:DEADLINECurb Chain (talk) 00:32, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification, and whilst things are as I had assumed, I think I shall still refrain from giving a fourth opinion. Whilst issues aren't closed really they're just any other editor chipping in except we use templates and are uninvolved. Thus to be motivated enough to contribute a fourth opinion to me means that I am involved in some way. BaSH PR0MPT (talk) 00:43, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * In my view, if a "fourth opinion" was given, it only builds consensus, so there is no sanction against it. Thanks for your barnstar!Curb Chain (talk) 23:59, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

You're more than welcome, I'm surprised you hadn't got that one sooner! After all, they cost nothing to give, and mean a lot to receive! Your work is appreciated. <3 BaSH PR0MPT (talk) 00:16, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

A help request
Hello, could you please help clarify an issue? There is a dispute concerning the of a Yogi" book article. The book is in public domain. Fac-similes are currently being published everywhere with the same cover, content, photos and illustrations. One of the contenders, NestedVariable raised a doubt whether  the cover of this  book is also in public domain. In the discussion there is a link to the decision of the 9th Court of Appel which ruled the book is in public domain. I read you are a Lawyer, that's why I am writing to you., NestedVariable also said there are two first editions of the book. I tried to explain that the first edition can only be, well, the first, but was not successful. I hope I am not breaking any Wikimedia protocol asking for your help. Thank you. -- Tat Sat (talk) 11:46, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Clarification - I mentioned there were multiple publishers of the first edition, not two first edition as per the sources provided by another editor. Thanks NestedVariable (talk) 13:04, 17 July 2012 (UTC)


 * NestedVariable, thanks for your clarification, but what I have been trying to explain is that there is only one Publisher of the first edition. The others publications are reprints, fac-similes or licensed publications (while the book was copyrighted) of the one and only first edition. Thank you. -- Tat Sat (talk) 13:39, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Invitation to comment at Monty Hall problem RfC
Because of your interest in dispute resolution,, I am inviting you to comment on the following RfC:

Talk:Monty Hall problem

This dispute has been going on for over ten years and there have been over 1,300,000 words posted on the article talk page (by comparison, all of the Harry Potter books together total 1,084,170 words). Over the years the dispute has been through multiple noticeboards, mediators, and even the Arbitration Committee without resolving the conflict, so a lot of wisdom is needed here. --Guy Macon (talk) 00:38, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

DRN organisers
Hello. I am just letting you know that I've made a proposal to create a rotating DRN organiser-style role that would help with the day-to-day running of DRN. As you are a listed volunteer at DRN, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this, and the other open proposals at DRN. You can read more about it here. Thanks!

Your offer to John Carter
Hey, Bash, I saw your offer to JC here. If you've not had any experience with either of the involved editors, would you take a look at the Soka Gakkai request listed at 3O and maybe give a 3O on it? I don't know if it would make JCs head hurt, but it does mine. (I don't tweet, so I can only poke you here.) Best regards, TransporterMan  ( TALK ) 13:47, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm SummerPhD. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Talk:Jasmuheen, but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source.

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

DRN needs your help!
Hi there. I've noticed it's been a while since you've been active at DRN, and we could really use your help! DRN is going to undergo some changes soon, so it'd really be great if our backlog is cleared before the start of August and we have as many people on board to help with the changes (they include a move to subpages and the creation of a rotating "co-ordinator" role to help manage things day-to-day. Hope to see you soon! Steven   Zhang Help resolve disputes! 11:09, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Nomination of Fluffy bunny for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Fluffy bunny is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Fluffy bunny (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   05:42, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I declined the speedy and turned it into an AfD. The differences were just enough to where I think it'd be better served as an AfD so we can get a new consensus on the stuff that was added and the other information added to the article. This way it'd prevent anyone from arguing that we didn't argue the merits of the new sources. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   05:42, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Your involvement with DRN
Hi there, I noticed that you haven't been as active at DRN as you was before. DRN has been a bit backlogged lately and we could use some extra hands. We have updated our volunteer list to a new format, Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteers (your name is still there under the old format if you haven't updated it) and are looking into ways to make DRN more effective and more rewarding for volunteers (your input is appreciated!). If you don't have much time to volunteer at the moment, that's fine too, just move your name to the inactive list (you're free to add yourself back to active at any time). Hope to see you again soon :) Steven Zhang (talk) 13:13, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at Brian Dunning (author), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. IRWolfie- (talk) 12:51, 18 October 2013 (UTC)


 * For something to be defamatory it is requisite that the statement not be true. The details addressed were regarding a person who is predominantly known to the world as an electronic fraudster, in fact one of the greatest e-scammers in history. A federally convicted e-scammer who's biography article talks about absolutely everything EXCEPT the fact he's a federally convicted e-scammer. The information was inserted in a manner that matches other bio articles of a similar nature, and was in no way given undue attention, nor breached neutrality. Google is your friend.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited O. J.

Please do not attack other editors, as you did on User talk:Sandstein. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.  Sandstein  21:21, 22 December 2013 (UTC)


 * In relation to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASandstein&diff=587276869&oldid=587175550

Sorry, I've been away for some time. I'm sorry you perceived it to be, but that wasn't a personal attack, if you examined what I had linked you to you as a report to an admin you would have seen that, and seen that the account was created purely to vandalise and cause dissent by posting insane nonsense everywhere. By saying that he was posting insane nonsense everywhere that was not a 'personal attack' against the user but a statement describing the 'content' in question. It appears another admin eventually caught up with him in the meantime and he has been deleted. You could have saved a lot of editors a lot of work by nipping that vandal in the bud instead. If you think describing crazy conspiratorial posts and claims to be 'less damaging' than calling said claims 'insane' then ... welcome to the internet, it's a steep learning curve but I believe in you mate!

Help needed at DRN
You are receiving this message because you are signed up as a volunteer at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard. We have a number of pending requests which need a volunteer to address them. Unless you are an inexperienced volunteer who is currently just watching DRN to learn our processes, please take a case. If you do not see yourself taking cases in the foreseeable future, please remove yourself from the volunteer list so that we can have a better idea of the size of our pool of volunteers; if you do see yourself taking cases, please watchlist the DRN page and keep an eye out to see if there are cases which are ready for a volunteer. We have recently had to refuse a number of cases because they were listed for days with no volunteer willing to take them, despite there being almost 150 volunteers listed on the volunteer page.

DRN help needed and volunteer roll call
You are receiving this message because you have listed yourself on the list of volunteers at Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteering.

First, assistance is needed at DRN. We have recently closed a number of cases without any services being provided for lack of a volunteer willing to take the case. There are at least three cases awaiting a volunteer at this moment. Please consider taking one.

Second, this is a volunteer roll call. If you remain interested in helping at DRN and are willing to actively do so by taking at least one case (and seeing it through) or helping with administrative matters at least once per calendar month, please add your name to this roll call list. Individuals currently on the principal volunteer list who do not add their name on the roll call list will be removed from the principal volunteer list after June 30, 2016 unless the DRN Coordinator chooses to retain their name for the best interest of DRN or the encyclopedia. Individuals whose names are removed after June 30, 2016, should feel free to re-add their names to the principal volunteer list, but are respectfully requested not to do so unless they are willing to take part at DRN at least one time per month as noted above. No one is going to be monitoring to see if you live up to that commitment, but we respectfully ask that you either live up to it or remove your name from the principal volunteer list.

personal note
In case you don't know, the above template is no-fault/no-shame... I've sent the same thing to myself. If you feel anyone is so biased they need to self impose a topic ban, the way to go about it is to talk to them at their own talk page, and that failing, try WP:DR, and that failing - and your certain - then pursue WP:AE if there is a case, which for climate change, there happens to be.
