Rationale?
I (and presumably some of the other participants in the discussion) would appreciate it if you could add a closing rationale to your decision at Talk:Vladimír Búřil. Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 18:08, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Question
I don't understand how you came about the conclusion that there was "no clear cut consensus on the move" here. There was indeed a consensus that "AhwazI" is not an appropriate term for the title as far Wikipedia policy on common names goes. Many of the "oppose" votes were canvassed on another article's talk page, and overall the oppose votes were in the minority by the margin of 1 to 2. The oppose arguments were also rather weak (see ) and did not address the main point that "AhwazI" contradicts our main Wikipedia page titles which are Ahvaz, and Iranian Arabs, so the loaded term "Ahwazi" is clearly against our policy on naming. Even Greyshark09 who is the creator of the page, and had been canvassing votes against the move, had actually conceded that "2005 Ahvaz unrest" was the more policy-appropriate term than "2005 Ahwazi unrest". In light of all this, could you please reconsider your closing decision or at least realist the RM for further discussion and wider community input? Kurdo777 (talk) 04:10, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * As the admin has also said: "Users are welcome to merge with Khūzestān Province.", but I think the best article to merge is Politics of Khūzestān Province. In fact   ( contact )  07:20, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, I closed the move with this because the majority of people were saying to merge, and not to move. So if merging, the page could just be turned into a redirect. Also, contrary to your interpretation, I felt that the opposing comments had enough weight to merit a no-move. Regards, Kilo T 11:19, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Černová tragedy vote
Hi, could you explain the way of thinking which led you to conclude that the result of the vote was "move"? I'm asking because only Wladthemlat was wholeheartedly supporting it (and a Slovak nationalist called Bizovne along with a few others), most of the remaining voters didn't insist on "tragedy" as maniacally as Wladthemlat did. You've mentioned the definition of the term massacre, which involves killing unresisting human beings. However the villagers DID resist the gendarmes and the priest when he wanted to consecrate the temple. And besides, there's no consensus among contemporary sources as far as the term usage's concerned. That's why I've proposed some alternative terms, but Wladthemlat didn't seem to like any of them. -- CoolKoon (talk) 12:42, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Hello, well I think that different dictionaries are going to have different definitions depending on what one you use. The Free Dictionary says The act or an instance of killing a large number of humans indiscriminately and cruelly, i.e. without mention of the persons resisting and Dictionary.com says the unnecessary, indiscriminate killing of a large number of human beings or animals. Regardless of the definition, however, I felt that more sources referred to the act as massacre and not tragedy. By all means, please feel free to add a WP:RFC, or even just request a move back on WP:RM, on the article for a more broader input if you wish. Regards, Kilo T 13:07, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, my biggest problem with the "massacre" term is twofold. This specific even COULD be categorized under the umbrella term of "massacres", but I feel that the term is not the appropriate one. Furthermore my other problem is with the fact of notability itself and its political abuse: according to my research the term "massacre" isn't by far the only name of the terms and I've found at least another one with prevalence comparable to that of "massacre" ("affair"). However Slovak editors who favor the "massacre" term seem to push this mostly for more altruistic (e.g. political) reasons than the sole prevalence of the term itself. Since I believe that Wikipedia is a neutral encyclopedia and should remain to be one, I'm strongly against any hints of politics in their articles, including the ones that deal with Central (read: Eastern :P) Europe. So anyway thanks for the advice. -- CoolKoon (talk) 20:27, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Las Vegas decision
Although there was no agreement on exactly what to at Las Vegas, there was overwhelming consensus in favor of the proposed move Las Vegas -> Las Vegas (disambiguation). The only disagreement was whether to move Las Vegas, Nevada or Las Vegas Valley to Las Vegas, but even there I think it's safe to say consensus favored the latter. It's disappointing to see this closed as no consensus. --Born2cycle (talk) 21:13, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The discussion was incredibly long winded and at several points I felt went off on a tangent. Perhaps it was the several alternative proposals put forward. I highly recommend refiling at WP:RM if you are still not satisfied and wish for the page to be moved. Regards, Kilo T 22:02, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Complaint
I would like to complain on user User:CoolKoon who named me "Slovak nationalist called Bizovne". It was a personal attack. Thank you. Regards, --Bizovne (talk) 21:33, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Feel free to check out the edit log of the user above. The overwhelming majority of his edits consist of reverts marked as "minor edits" and removals of Hungarian place names and/or replacing them with their Slovak counterparts (ignoring even the naming convention set by Elonka after after countless amounts of discussion a few years ago). I think such acts (removal of Hungarian town names "for kicks") DO constitute nationalism, regardless of the fact that Bizovne denies this accusation (and so do ALL the Slovak nationalists BTW and they'll give you the most amazing excuses to why they aren't nationalists and why their hatred towards Hungarians does NOT constitute nationalism at all). -- CoolKoon (talk) 22:14, 14 June 2011 (UTC) NOTE: Also, I have no agenda to push, especially with the "help" of any IP socks if necessary (unlike Bizovne) so my conscience is perfectly clear. -- CoolKoon (talk) 22:16, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Your assistance on merge proposal
You have already assisted closing a rename proposal of 2005 Ahwazi unrest article (which was now consensus). Since we had a major dispute and a merge proposal had been issued by user Alborz Fallah, which has been actively discussed, but later has become dormant in light of a compromise, offered to me by user Kurdo777. Essentially, we agreed to rename it to 2005 Ahvaz unrest per WP:GF and in accordance with WP:RS and WP:COMMONNAME, while Kurdo777, who claimed to represent those in favor of merge would step off the merging demand. Since i'm an active party of this discussion, I'm kindly asking your assistance to close the debate which is outdated and has reached a compromise by renaming the article. Thank you.Greyshark09 (talk) 14:15, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

MSU Interview
Dear Kilo-Lima,

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 communityHERE, 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 nameHERE 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) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck (talk • contribs) 03:47, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)
Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.

If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:29, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Update for: WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)
Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject. Sorry for any confusion.--Dom497 (talk)15:18, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Administrators&oldid=526254016#Restoration_of_the_tools_.28proposal.29 recent change] to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

GAN December 2013 Backlog Drive
{| |}

March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive
It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:


 * This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively.
 * Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
 * The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
 * An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.

Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.

More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.

I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive
Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!

TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.

If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.

At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.

As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

GA Cup
Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!

As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:

For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.

For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).

The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

--Dom497, Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor
