re: ArbCom Questions for Paul August
Hi Sebastian. I've answered your question. Thanks for asking. Paul August &#9742; 22:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Portfolio
Thanks for letting me know; however, I'm really not sure what you're looking for in the portfolio. I'm hesitant to reduce complex situations down to a single diff or link to a page, and other situations I'm hesitant to link to because of confidentiality issues as a mediator. I think, though, that my statement and questions page should provide a general picture of my previous activities. Please don't hesitate to let me know if that's not what you're looking for. Thanks!

 * Generally, I'm looking for anything that a candidate can bring to the table. But you got plenty to show! Your Signpost contributions alone show that you have a good understanding of this job. I'll add one of them to the table for now.
 * I wasn't aware confidentiality was an issue, since I thought these mediations took place in the open. I also take your point that a simple link doesn't do a good candidate justice. For now, I don't want to change the format of the table, but next time I'll start this sooner, and we'll find a collaborative consensus to either ditch the column or find a more appropriate way to present this information. &mdash; Sebastian 17:15, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

That's a great idea. Too many people I think are making their decision based on candidate statement alone (in fact, I left my candidate statement intentionally uninformative... so it's probably a terrible judgement tool to use :D ). Well I keep a list of all my previous MedCab cases... I can't recall any that I felt I did an awesome job with. The entire list is at the top of my questions page, if that helps any. Tell me if you'd like more info. -- The Prophet Wiz ard of the Cray on Cake  23:08, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Cool! For the moment, I will just simply link to that list. I will look at the cases later, and if you like I can pick my favorites. &mdash; Sebastian 23:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Whatever works for you. Oh, and thanks a bunch for the comment. That's exactly the kind of attitude I take on these kinds of things.

Here's a list of some useful pages and some of the more active disputes:
 * Talk: Macedonism
 * User talk:The prophet wizard of the crayon cake/Archive 2 <--- That paticular archive has a lot of mediation stuff

 * Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-07-24 Tewfik harrassment of Cerejota
 * Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-06-16 Disemvoweling
 * Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-07-05 Wikipedia:WOT
 * Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-06-05 Bullshit <-- My very first mediation... on the case page itself
 * Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-06-13 Conservatism <-- eww... that was a nasty dispute.


 * Thank you for this list. How about if you put the list, with your explanations, in one place together and linked to it from the summary table? I don't know the election procedure well enough, but maybe you could even amend your statement page (sounds OK to me as long as you make that clear and add a date), in which case we wouldn't even have to change the summary table. &mdash; Sebastian 23:37, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello Sebastian - May I ask what you are looking for? If you want to know what things I am doing in addition to what I stated on the signpost and on my userpage? Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

User:Username
You blanked the notices on User talk:Username, stating that the user had been permanently blocked, yet, upon checking the block log, the user is not currently blocked. Kukini 20:29, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Kukini, if you come back here again: I wonder why you wrote "blanked": I never blanked it, but replaced the text with an explanation. Did it appear blanked to you? &mdash; Sebastian 22:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * please explain. Kukini 20:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict:) Oh, I see. Sorry about that. What should we do about the many wrong links that go here? &mdash; Sebastian 20:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Not sure, but the talk page should remain. You can ADD a notice to it if you like, but best to unlink whatever links you see as problematic. Kukini 20:33, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, I reverted to your version. Let's move this conversation on that page - it's a talk page, after all. &mdash; Sebastian 20:47, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

A thought, if you are referring to "what links here" on that talk page, all of our talk pages have many pages that link to them. See yours for example. Is this what you are referring to? Kukini 21:14, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. And many of them are erroneous. Why don't we discuss this on the appropriate talk page? &mdash; Sebastian 21:19, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Because I was talking to YOU, not that user. Best, Kukini 21:30, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, I see the distinction you're making. I was anxious to not discuss that user's user page behind back, but I see now that you agree with me on that. &mdash; Sebastian 21:57, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. I am always a fan of transparency. But..the links to which you refer are not the doing of that user. Kukini 21:59, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly! That's what I wanted to point out in the box. If that isn't clear, you can maybe think of a better wording. (And please, let's move that part of the discussion to that talk page. It is about that user, and directly about that page, now.) &mdash; Sebastian 22:02, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
