User talk:Daniel.Bryant/Archive

Although most correspondence should, and does, take place on my user talk page, there are situations where it may not be appropriate, or it is better to play it safe and have the conversation privately for whatever reason; use common sense. This is particularly important when dealing with OTRS issues, or in some cases, mediation issues.

There are various ways to contact me privately. These include:-

• Emailing me, via the Wikipedia "emailing users" interface. To be able to do this, you need an account with a legitimate email address registered in your preferences. Click this link to send me an email.

• Internet Relay Chat (or IRC), on Freenode, North America. I can be accessed, when online, by the nickname Daniel-Bryant. See Wikipedia's IRC tutorial for more assistance.

In recent months, I have received a number of emails from the media noting their interest in securing my services to assist in compiling a news feature about Wikipedia. Please note that I am not an official representative of the Wikimedia Foundation; I am a volunteer who also serves as an administrator and assists the Foundation with emails from the general public.

If you do wish to interview me, please create a Wikipedia account, and set in your preferences your press email, under "email", for verification of legitimately being a member of the media. Then, follow the instructions above under the heading "Emailing me", indicating your preference for either telephone or email correspondence. I will reply, and we can take it from there.

I have formatted my talk page archives in groups of 30. If you wish to revisit an archived discussion, please make sure you post a link to the archive which holds the archived discussion when adding a new message to my user talk page, or else I won't know what previous discussion you are referring to.

The main directory for my archive pages is located here. This page contains links to the archives, as well as the history of those archives. It also has a column which details the time span for that archive; if you need to find a previous discussion, identifying the date the discussion was held on and using that column will be the most beneficial option.

A quarterly breakdown of Archives is listed below. For the purpose of this list, Archive 1 (which began on March 11, 2006) will be included in the third quarter (July–September), as it is the only one in the second quarter of 2006.
