	== Misplaced Pages Research Survey Request ==

	Hello, I am a member of a research group at (formerly known as Xerox PARC) studying how conflicts occur and resolve on Misplaced Pages. Due to your experience in conflict resolution on Misplaced Pages (e.g., as a member of the ]) we’re extremely interested in your insights on this topic. We have a survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=400792384029 which we are inviting a few selected Wikipedians to participate in, and we would be extremely appreciative if you would take the time to complete it. As a token of our gratitude, we would like to present you with a PARC research star upon completion. Thank you for your time.

	Please don't present your personal opinion on the SC issue as official WP policy. As admins, we need to work this stuff out by consensus (and involve foundation members where appropriate). Your was improper, as the account was blocked for impersonation concerns (not retribution). Furthermore, your statement implies that an admin consensus exists on this issue to the effect that SC is not welcome here. That is simply not true. If that account is validated as belonging to him, then it'll be unblocked. If you have any concerns about this, let's bring it to WP:AN. - ]</small> (]) 20:32, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

	I have updated the talk page with the comment removed. I reccomend to bring it to the administrator's notice board or bring a foundation member in to make a decision as serious as this. Last time I checked admin's can't speak for an organization, especially not when the decision may end up being seen outside of Misplaced Pages. --] <sub><span style="text-decoration:none">]</span></sub> <sup><span style="position: relative; left: -36px; margin-right: -36px; text-decoration:none;">]</span></sup> 00:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

	:I hardly think I was misrepresenting Misplaced Pages policy. It to me seems obvious that that account was used as part of a bid to bring mass Vandalism to Misplaced Pages in a very promenent way. I hardly think we need to show users that you ''can'' make public bids for vandalism and get away with it. ] clearly states "Sysops may block IP addresses or usernames that disrupt the normal functioning of Misplaced Pages, or pose any kind of threat to it." I hardly think the actions linked to this case are anything but disruption. I also presonally object to removal of my edit - you are more than welcome to state it is invalid on the page - but removing others comments because you don't agree with them hardly resolves anything. I personally would be surprised if anyone unblocked the account (even if it was verified to be him) purely because of the massive disruption to ]s he caused (and he will have been the one that caused it if it ''was'' him). I can't see how it couldn't be seen as anything else. Nethertheless, I hardly see the point of waring over whether my comments should be removed - but I do ask you don't do it - but instead add a comment and discuss with me first. It may have been misplaced (and quite possibly was) but I think people are disucssing the wrong things. Happy editing! ]] 19:59, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

	Hello there. I thought I recognised your name on the "mediation Cabal" page - then I recalled that you've been a witness to "Paris happenings" once before. I've yet another problem with resistance to obvious fact - but the case has just been sitting there for days now. Do cases usually take some time to get picked up? I'm a bit concerned that the both factual and "foreign" aspect of this case may waylay some. Any advice - ? I suppose I should just wait but I would like to be sure.

	Hi, I would like to write up a new article as wikipedia:titleparagraphs. I'd appreciate your assistance.

Her debut single "Convicted" hit Canadian radio in January 2010 and she managed to reach #38 on the Canadian Top 40 charts.

She is going to release her second single "Love Drunk" in Canada on July 12, 2010.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next several days. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.
