User talk:Vassyana

I have proposed a reviews/feedback-orientated WikiProject. If you would be interested in participating, please sign under the proposal or let me know. Vassyana 11:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

If you speak to me over e-mail or IRC about an informal mediation, an article I am involved with as a neutral party or simply seeking advice, anything said within reason will be held in a strict confidential manner

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- ForteTuba 18:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Request

Hi Vassyana, could you revert my last edit of Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-05-21 Landmark Education; my browser has shredded some comments by the parties involved and isn't letting me revert. Thanks. I'd vote again in your RfC if I could. Addhoc 21:41, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Done. Vassyana 21:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Old WikiProject proposals

Do they only have a limited time period before they are deleted? Simply south 13:18, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Not at all. I was cleaning up the list. Please check the proposal talk page. Old proposals that had not yet gained enough support for a launch and had little activity were removed in the interests of cleanup and manageable list size. That you're the first person to raise the issue (besides an error I made), demonstrates how little attention has been paid to most of the proposals I deprecated from the list. If I removed one of your proposals, or one you expressed interest in, I will restore it if you wish. There's no set time period for listing, so I'd have no objection. Again, I was just cleaning up old and neglected proposals. Be well! Vassyana 13:37, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

I think i might just launch it anyway and hope it gets enough people. I can think of a couple who might be interested. Simply south 16:15, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Good deal. Do you want me to relist the proposal? If so, which one was it? Best of luck with your endeavour! Vassyana 16:22, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Possibly, its Hertfordshire. Thanks.

Separately, do you know how to get members of another project to get more involved with that same other project? Simply south 16:27, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

You might wish to hit the talk pages of WikiProject London and WikiProject UK geography for advice and possible interested editors. You may also find the UK geo project's advice about settlements helpful. I have restored the proposal.[1] If there's anything else I can do, please let me know. Vassyana 17:35, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

I will prob try UK proj and others.

Do you know how to get people more involved in the setting up of the project in which they are already members of? (This time, i'm not talking about Herts). Simply south 17:49, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

To-do lists are always good. It may also prove helpful to ask specific editors for help with specific tasks you think they might be suited for. Vassyana 18:05, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

FOF - Original Research?

Hi Vassyana - when you have a moment, would you look at the talk page discussion on "Other beliefs"? There is a suggestion to add material to round out the article from personal knowledge, since there are no documented sources. Is this ok to do? Thanks for your help, and good luck on you RfA. --Moon Rising 00:50, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

The editor who requested original research has rescinded his request. You can ignore this. Thanks anyway. --Moon Rising 03:31, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Your RfA

Vassyana, please note that I have removed my opposition to your admin. While I still believe you need more experience before becoming an admin, I feel the continual defense of my opinion is distracting from your RfA. I hope you will understand that I think you're a really good editor who merely needs a bit more experience, especially with editing actual articles. I have nothing against you and, as I have repeatedly said, would have supported you in the near future.--Alabamaboy 01:40, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind words. The problems with RfAs today is that one is unlikely to know a lot about the different candidates. I made a good faith effort to analyze your ability to be an admin and came away feeling you needed more experience. This may be a mistake--Lord knows I've made enough mistakes on Wikipedia. But all RfA discussions are based on personal opinions, nothing more. Being attacked over an opinion in an RfA is not appropriate and not something I intend to waste any more time with. I wish you the best in your future admin duties b/c it appears you'll be approved.--Alabamaboy 11:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
