User talk:Sean Whitton/Archive 13

Sean's user talk archive This is an archive of past discussions. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page. I should note that this archive is for my extended Wikibreak over the academic year 2007 - 2008 due to heavy school work. Therefore most of the Signposts have not been read (only titles scanned) and indeed some messages have been ignored as likely being out of date. There are also more than thirty titles. Thanks for your understanding.

Please help me out with this vital issue. This mediation request needs to be resumed. The dispute is based primarily on two users, others were later invited. The mediation should not be cancelled due to one disruptive user who has played a minor role. The naming policy has not yet been taken into consideration. This isssue has long been unresolved. Please let me know if this mediation can be continued, or let me know what can be done otherwise. It is very important that this be solved. --Shamir1 20:59, 11 July 2007 (UTC) changes/moves Thx.

I'm going to go ahead and replace the information (minus album covers); if you don't agree with this please comment at the talk page. Thanks! Cmprince 17:31, 15 July 2007 (UTC) Bryan Ferry In [this] revision you removed a Bryan Ferry quote, with the argument "Removing unsourced material per WP:BLP based on an OTRS ticket." I don't understand this yet, because the source was right there. (Reference number 21, the original interview as published by "Die Welt", in German.) Because that was the original publication that caused the controversy, I think it deserves a place in the article. Maybe reference 21 was placed in the wrong place, looking at it now I think it should be placed directly after the quote. My question to you: were you aware that the material was sourced? If not, is it OK if I put it back? If you were aware, could you explain your reason for removing it more? --Pie.er 08:54, 19 July 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for July 16th, 2007.

Hello Sean/Xyrael, I'm currently in the middle of a PhD at the University of Bath, UK. I'm examining the way that mediation differs between face-to-face, video-conferenced and text-based meetings. You can get a gist of the research from my (somewhat sparse) homepage here. I notice that you've mediated in number of cases. Would you be willing to spare some time to talk to me about your experiences mediating? It'd help me out no end! If you'd like some more info, you can leave a message on my talkpage or contact me via the e-mail on my homepage. Many thanks MattB2 15:54, 24 July 2007 (UTC) Edit reverted, not vandal. What to do? Why? Hi Sean: I made an edit to a page (ICMI) that has to do with an international congress on math ed (ICME) that I'm helping organize. ICMI is a commission of the International Mathematical Union and ICME is one of the activities that they make happen. Well, a wiki editor (Giggy) used this vandalism tool to automatically revert my edit. What can I do? I left a message but I haven't received an answer. Why would he assume that I am a vandal? I had not logged in, are IP users automatically assumed to be vandals? I'll keep trying to contact him but I would like to know why I was tagged as a vandal? Also, in case he doesn't answer, how long should I wait before attempting to redo the edit? Could you take a minute to give me an idea. Thanks.
