Hi AGK

I'd like to take on an open case for Mediation, I am intrested in joining the Mediation Committee and aiding in dispute resolution. On the Nomination Procedure page it stated that taking on an open case would allow Mediators to see if I am a capable candidate. Thank you for your input. Please leave me a talkback on my user talk page. Thank you once again. Fridae'§Doom | Spare your time? 01:57, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi FD. Thank you for your interest! We're always looking for new members who are experienced in mediation. I'll open a thread on this on the Committee mailing list and get back to you in about a week. Regards, AGK 12:02, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
Ok thanks :D Fridae'§Doom | Spare your time? 03:51, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
The opinion seems to be that you would need far more experience in mediating and dispute resolution before a nomination to the MedCom could be considered. I would recommend involving yourself in some WP:Third opinions and, more importantly, mediating some cases for the WP:Mediation Cabal. Formal mediation is a complicated process and requires great experience, so you'll need to get a good many MedCab cases under your belt before coming back to us I think!

Legostar Galactica

Hello.I was wondering why my Article of Legostar Galactica was deleted.It was the first Lego webcomic,yet no one reconizes it.I was trying to make it more known to people.There's a Irregular Webcomic Article,yet none for LG.I am just wondering why it was deleted.I hope you can at least help me.--Wikidude10000 (talk) 06:18, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Please see Misplaced Pages:Why was my page deleted?. Should that not answer your question, I'll provide a fuller response in a few days' time, when I am more available. Misplaced Pages:Notability and Misplaced Pages:Deletion policy may also be of interest. Regards, AGK 12:02, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
(Assuming that those pages have answered your questions. If they haven't, let me know.) AGK 12:47, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Monty Hall Problem

Hi, no change. Except, I keep getting blocked for 'edit warring'. Please advise. Glkanter (talk) 14:09, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

It's clear that this dispute is too long-running to be worked out through such editing processes as WP:BRD, so continuing to make changes to the article, I'm guessing, is unhelpful. So don't do that in future, or you'll probably find yourself blocked again, and for longer. I really don't know what to do about this dispute. I wish I could wave a magic wand that made you all go away and edit other articles and forget that the Monty Hall problem even existed, because I'm guessing the article our readers see won't be any worse off that way, but clearly that's not an option so I regretfully can't advise anything at this point. AGK 14:54, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your prompt response. I've BRDed for nearly 2 years. So much so, that an opposition editor filed an RfC on me. Here's how he starts the complaint:

"Virtually all of Glkanter's edits have been to talk:Monty Hall problem and the related subpage talk:Monty Hall problem/Arguments. Rather than edit the article he has engaged in a long-standing campaign on the talk page to "simplify" the article..."

Hmm, less talk, more editing. OK, I can do that. Now, the very same editor has reported me for 'edit warring' at least twice, maybe 3 or 4 times. Ironic, no?

The opposition has BRDed for 7 years. The dispute resolution system is not working here. And while none of the editors has been overtly malicious, I believe some are not editing as per Misplaced Pages's 'good faith' expectation. And that statement can be documented.

One man's 'edit warring' is another man's 'ownership'. Or 'gamesmanship'.

Editing delayed, is editing denied! Peace. Glkanter (talk) 15:24, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Your comment on David Spector AFE

I don't know whether it is normal for an uninvolved admin to simply post an opinion/suggestion in a pending AFE as a part of the general discussion, rather than in the "result" section. So, I posted this question regarding your comment from yesterday at the David Spector AFE. Thanks. Fladrif (talk) 13:08, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I've replied to you there. Regards, AGK 14:21, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
You're welcome, and thank you for the response. Perfectly sensible approach, just wasn't sure what the protocols were on that board. Fladrif (talk) 14:25, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Movement of Brews_ohare appeal

You have suggested “This thread is not actionable as an appeal and so it would form no part of any complaint you submitted to the Arbitration Committee. You should simply file a new request, using the old statements and such if you like.”

I don't know how to follow your advice, as I do not understand the procedures. Can you tell me where to file and what format to use? Brews ohare (talk) 18:02, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Requests to have a sanction lifted by the ArbCom are to be filed at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Amendment. Instructions for doing so are here, in the red box. If you need more guidance, let me know and I'll do my best to help; or contact another clerk, at WT:AC/C. Regards, AGK 00:01, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
Your advice leads me to Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Amendment. The template on that page requests as follows:
A request for amendment of a closed case must clearly state the following:
(a) The name of the case to be amended;
(b) The clause(s) to be modified, referenced by number or section title;
(c) For each clause in (b), the desired modification;
Because my appeal doesn't seem to me to be a request for an amendment to the existing sanction Case:Speed of light, which has itself been amended several times as I have summarized in the original appeal, but is instead an appeal of a bad enforcement action by Sandstein that has taken the form of arbitrarily applying a sanction of his own based upon authorization not in fact supplied by Case Speed of light, I do understand how to fit my appeal of Sandstein's arbitrary action into this template. In particular, how are the above requests of the template (a), (b) and (c) to be filled in? Can you help? Brews ohare (talk) 03:30, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
