Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited McComb (surname), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Malcolm, McComas and McCombs (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

MSU Interview
Dear Ceyockey,

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, were 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) 02:32, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Dead link tool
I see that you are using a dead link tool. When running WP:AWB I sometimes see an alert telling me that a particular article has one or more dead links, but the tool doesn't have an easy way to flag the article, so I never follow up. Please explain the dead link tool to me that you are using. Reply right here, I will watch this page. --DThomsen8 (talk) 14:23, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I am not a user of AWB. My inspection for deadlinks is fully manual.  Sorry I'm unable to help. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 16:32, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

World Factoring Yearbook
I'm leaving this message as you're listed as a current participant of WikiProject Business. I was informed yesterday that the current World Factoring Yearbook (circa £150) is now free for download as an ebook. It's a matter of filling out this form. I'm not sure if you'll find this useful as a reliable source, but I thought I should let you know that it's freely available online. I apologise in advance if this doesn't interest you! All the best, The Cavalry (Message me) 14:46, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

I AM THE BEST ARTIST Rene photo deletion
hey there, THANKS for your help! i really don't understand the reasoning behind the deletion-proposal either... it seems like youve been working Wiki for much longer than i, so i'd like to officially request your assistance and/or advice please! it's bad-timing for me to deal with that right now, on top of the fact that i'm very bad at dealing with such wiki-procedures! even now, i've got to log out... i'll keep checking, & do what i can BUT... please help if/when you can!Penwatchdog (talk) 07:05, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Disruptive editions
I come here to communicate the recurrence of disruptively behavior of the User Lecen, who in this past week, has steadily revert editions. It can be seen in the historical of the Brazil article. Without dialogue, he has simply reverted to his own old editions, referring aggressively to other editors in the box justification, treating the article as his property, returning so to a form of behavior that he apparently had abandoned a little over one year ago. Hope that you can, or appoint someone to mediate this situation impartially. Thanks Cybershore (talk) 02:50, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lipoprotein lipase deficiency, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mosby (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hand-coding
Hey all :).

I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).

You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at and I'll set you up with an account :).

If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at 23:00 UTC in. Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:16, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
