[edit] HELP!!

Regarding your post:

"Erm...mediation is not third opinion, and no informal mediation has been requested nor agreed to. "Third opinions" don't have "cases" - it's simply you give your opinion about how best to resolve the dispute."

Is this perhaps why I'm confused by this post: ::"If this is your first time doing a 3O, the case will be on the IRC channel (Link). If you wish, the mediation may commence on 03:00"

To the extent that I just made this post: "Unfortunately, I am not able to understand this information because 1) I've never used IRC and don't know how to, and 2} I was under the impression (from very very limited experience) that 3O opinions were given through comments in the normal Wikipedia Talk pages." before I saw your post??? Wanderer57 (talk) 02:11, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Blow of Light unfortunately doesn't understand the idea of third opinions nor understand how to give them. There is no reason for you to follow his "instructions" because he apparently doesn't understand what he's doing, and in the end is only wasting your time. I'd suggest just sitting back and waiting for a third opinion to actually come your way on that talk page. You are correct that third opinions are given on the article talk pages. Daniel (talk) 02:13, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. Wanderer57 (talk) 02:15, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please trim your statement on requests for arbitration

Thank you for making a statement in an Arbitration application on requests for arbitration. We ask all participants and commentators to limit the size of their initial statements to 500 words. Please trim your statement accordingly. If the case is accepted, you will have the opportunity to present more evidence. Neat, concisely presented statements are much more likely to be understood and to influence the decisions of the Arbitrators.

For the Arbitration Committee. Daniel (talk) 10:52, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

When I talk too little people don't understand, when I talk too much people don't pay attention. I seem to not comprehend the balance. I was wondering if you could trim it for me only leaving back what you feel is the most relevant. Is this possible? Thanks. -- Cat ^chi? 13:58, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Done: I II. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 05:57, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Loverly spam

Hi there Daniel/Archive! As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation has recently approved Wikimedia Australia as an official chapter. In order to acknowledge this, and to appoint an interim committee, approve our statement of purpose and our rules, and appoint a Public Officer, Wikimedia Australia will be having a meeting at Computerbank in Melbourne. For those of us who are located in other cities, we shall be holding conference calls to the main meeting.

The meeting will be held at 2:30PM on Sunday, 20th April 2008, Adelaide time. In order for us to organise this meeting, we need your help! Please drop by at our meta subpage with suggestions as to venues, conference calling services, etc. It will be at 2:30 so we can meet up for lunch beforehand if anyone's open for that!

Hoping to see you there! ~ Riana ⁂ 01:48, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

You are receiving this message because you are an active Wikimedian in Adelaide and are on this list. If you think I've missed anyone out, please feel free to copy-paste this and send it to them too!

[edit] editing closed arbcom case evidence pages

Hi. Is is appropriate for White Cat to be editing closed case evidence has he has at;

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Episodes and characters 2/Evidence/by White Cat history;

and the new further subpage;

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Episodes and characters 2/Evidence/by White Cat/graph?

Cheers, Jack Merridew 05:23, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I've started up a discussion amongst clerks and arbitrators about what to do. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 03:53, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. He's transcluding that thing all over the place; [1]. He has also massively refactored some old checkuser pages and redirected stuff to the new one. As I see it, this is way out of line; akin to evidence tampering. I believe he is trying to regrade the landscape to pitch towards his allegations. Cheers, Jack Merridew 09:35, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

This article appears to be a repost of Jan Szatkowski, and its creator has no other edits. TML (talk) 16:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much. David deleted it and I blocked the sockpuppet. Thanks again, Daniel (talk) 11:00, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] You eat kittens?

Damn, if my RFA weren't withdrawn, I'd block you... eee... when I was your wikiage we made fifteen edits to vote on an RFA and fifteen edits to go back to proper editing. And we had no standardised templates! *walks off rambling about the price of vandalism* Sceptre ^(talk) 12:03, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Puppies as well, apparently. Daniel (talk) 12:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Note to arbitrators

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration#Note to arbitrators

Hi, Iwas wondering if you could forward the RFCU findings to arbitrators. I do not know if you can access the arbcom mailing list. -- Cat ^chi? 19:10, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

They will see it on the RfAr page. I do not have read access to arbcom-l, although I'm not sure whether my moderation restrictions are any different to everyone else. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 23:23, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Betacommand 2 case

I understand you're clerking the case. User:MickMacNee has been blocked for 72 hours (WP:AN/I#Opinion on an Afd re disruption, User talk:MickMacNee#Blocked) and an unblock request has been denied. You might want to inform him of how he could continue giving his opinion on the case if his block stays. I'd tell him but it would seem spiteful as I am in lively debate with him already on the case, so I was hoping you could help. x42bn6 Talk Mess 20:56, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I've told him he can email me if he needs to post something. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 23:20, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:Cellbg

A tag has been placed on Template:Cellbg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

[edit] Could you please explain more fully?

I see you were the concluding admin for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cat Le-Huy, and you closed it as "weakly kept".

Could you please explain what you meant by "weakly kept"? Is weakly kept a conclusion authorized by policy? I am trying to figure out what this concluding comment means.

Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 00:52, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

It was just on the keep side of no consensus. Daniel (talk) 00:54, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Daniel, thanks for your note about the above RfA. I wasn't having trouble with the decision, I was just trying to close it as soon as I could since it was three hours overdue! And pressing F5 on my Mac wouldn't help.... ;-) But thanks for the pointer to {{rfah}}, wasn't aware of that. All the best. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:53, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

You were promoted near-unanimously, so I'd hope you weren't having trouble deciding *evil laugh* :) Speaking of Macs, Vista sucks, unlike rfah, which is very handy :) Cheers, Daniel (talk) 14:34, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
