Mind and Life Institute

 * Thanks, I'll complete with bibliography section recently added. Can you also restore Talk:Mind and Life Institute? Thanks in advance, --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 17:08, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm afraid it's WP:BOOMERANG time
I don't recall us having any dealings before today, so I took the liberty of perusing your admin logs to get a feel for who I was dealing with. I would like to know what, exactly you believe rationalizes your use of revision deletion at Vlachs. It is specifically not to be used to hide your own edits, and there is nothing about the edits you deleted that seems to meet any of the other criteria for revision deletion. This is exactly the sort of thing people were worried about when admins were given this ability, so unless you have a very compelling reason for these deletions I would suggest you restore them. From what I can tell this is the first time you have ever used RevDel. I would strongly suggest that you not use it again until you have taken the time to review and understand WP:CRD.

 * Looks like you are taking a break or something at the moment, so I have asked for uninvolved admins to look into this as it seems way over the top to use revdel as you have, going so far as to remove your own username from the page history. Anyway, there is now a thread open at WP:AN under the heading "review of some revdels requested." Beeblebrox (talk) 19:15, 12 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Sebastian. Per the consensus at the AN thread, I have restored the deleted revisions. RD6 is a bit strict as to what can be revdeled, and ordinary editing mistakes don't qualify. Please let me know if you have any questions. 28bytes (talk) 19:55, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

MSU Interview
Dear SebastianHelm,

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) 07:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Regarding Article Kuchipuidi
Hi SebastianHelm,

Greetings... Nice to see that one of the Wikipedia Administrators is working on my favorite area kuchipudi. Regarding your "This article deserves to be improved" section in Kuchipudi Talk page, SNA means Sangeet Natak Academy. Here is the list of SNA awardees, http://sangeetnatak.org/sna/awardeeslist.htm. This award is considered as highest award in India in the area of most forms of arts (Including dance, music and drama).

Why I have started a new topic in your user page is that I didn't know how to contact you and I want to say that I would like to update this page as much as I can. I know some people in this art because of whom I really love this art. But I do not know many options of wiki like how to create, delete, move pages, adding references in a proper way etc. If you can help me regarding this, I would surely put my efforts in improving this as well as other wiki pages.
