Hi. When you recently edited ARP spoofing, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Snooping (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.

 * This one stays: there is a need for a generic Snooping (Computer Science) page, which does not exist yet. Urhixidur (talk) 12:28, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

MSU Interview
Dear Urhixidur,

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

[[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_82#Learn_to_be_a_Wikipedia_Administrator_-

_New_class_at_MSU|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)

Data mining
Thank you for the references cleanup. A comment on the added paragraph: Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro writes on http://www.kdnuggets.com/data_mining_course/x1-intro-to-data-mining-notes.html :
 * The term "Data Mining" appeared around 1990 in the database community. Briefly, there was a phrase "database mining"™, but it was trademarked by HNC (now part of Fair, Isaac), and researchers turned to "data mining".

Given that he's quite an expert on the history of this term, I'm tempted to trust him more than Jesus Mena in that the trademarked term is/was "database mining", not "data mining". Furthermore, this is backed by this entry: http://trademarks.justia.com/741/71/database-mining-74171491.html --Chire (talk) 22:49, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed accordingly. Urhixidur (talk) 15:06, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Tough one to resolve. May be the same as Christopher Palmer (1946–1995) (see e.g. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/christopher-palmer-mn0000938060). IMDb has multiple Chris[topher] Palmers, and assigns the Warcraft music alone to one of them. Could be a one-shot wonder. Urhixidur (talk) 13:25, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
