Please feel free to leave me a message here by adding a new section. I'll get back to it as soon as I can. If you have an Advocacy Request or a complaint I would prefer that you leave it on my Desk. אמר Steve Caruso (desk/poll) 17:43, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Curt

Thad,

I don't know how to communicate to you. So I hope that you don't mind me leaving a message here. I have just started using wikipedia as a research tool and find it very powerful and helpful. I am just getting used to it.

I have a problem and a concern. It's just ran into someone who appears to exercise authority in Wikipedia who in my opinion is abusing the authority he has. It started with him removing a link I added so quickly that he could not have even looked at it. Followed by a threat to cut off my editing privileges.

What is really strange is that this was about a subject that he obviously has no expertise on or likely interest in.

There are two issues I would like resolve. One is important, one is not. The unimportant one is the entry I was attempting to make. The real important one, is whether this person should have so much power as to make threats and be given the appearance of being able to carry them out. And what other entries and people he way be doing this with.

I am not inclined to got too obsessive about this... but I have just never liked bullies... and I just don't believe that I am his only past or future victim. It's not always served my personal interests, its just that I have never been good at walking away from bullies... and too many bullies in positions of power are never good for any community.

I can be reached at cpartATspamarrestDOTcom. Would you be kind enough to email me. When I receive your email I will be pleased to provide you whatever additional information about me or what happened that you would like.

Thanks

[edit] Rotarian activity on Rotary international pages

Until now, there have been pages on RI coming from Rotary sites themselves. I have studied Rotary and introduced on wiki the links with German Rotarian activities between 34-38, the links with conservative politicians and the Honorary membership of General Pinochet.

For the moment, a new conflict seems to introduce with CeeGee, who declared himself has a Rotarian.

Would you be so king to introduce some kind of mediation ? Thank you. User PierreLarcin, IP 84.xxx in Lille, France. I have difficulties to signup due to sight problems+cookies sign-up pbm coming from French wiki

Thank you, Pierre

I'll be seeing to this shortly. אמר Steve Caruso _(desk/AMA) 01:36, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Advocate for Wiki Spanish?

Dear Steve: Can you designate an Advocate to help in a Mediation process in Wikipedia in Spanish? Our Wikipedia:es have not implemented yet similar mechanisms, nor arbitrations, etc. I have problems with several administrators (bibliotecarios) that are having roles of Judges, interested party and executioner at the same time. The advocate should be fluency in Spanish. Also, these administrators cannot obtain the 75% required to erase my page and their will erase it no matter what the result is. The history is long, but they are violating at least the right to the preservation of the honor and prestige of one person, which is a human right. And this is not the first time. Also, we do not have any mechanism to impose sanctions to administrators or any removal procedure in cases of abuse. I think we need your help. My user name is Tasc1 in w:en and Tasc in w:es. The page in conflict is w:es:Santa Coloma (apellido). I have to erase almost 50% and most want to erase most of the article. I have save a complete text in genealogy.wikia.com just in case. They have asked know for a mediation, but the mediator also said that he will erase the page if I do not follow they directives. The page is fully referenced, I think more than any other page in wikipedia in Spanish. It is true, it had and still has a little of research, but it is minimum and the information is very interesting.

If you can help, I will really appreciate it.

Kind regards from Argentina, Tasc.

I'll be seeing to this shortly. אמר Steve Caruso _(desk/AMA) 01:41, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AMA Advocate

First of all, after looking at the template above, congrats on the girl

Anyways, I would like to become a Wikipedia Advocate. I am reasonably able when it comes to sorting out arguments or arguing for or against something.

[edit] AMA membership

I was listed as an "unknown status" member and had been largely inactive since when I joined there was little coordination. I have marked myself as available and wanted to let you know. Am looking into the 11 open cases to see if/where I can help. - Jord 18:01, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
