Alisha Pillay
Hey Ian,
Just wanted to ask you about a wiki page that was deleted about 2 years ago. The page was about an artist from Canada titled "Alisha Pillay". I would love to see this page on Misplaced Pages again. Her debut single "Convicted" hit Canadian radio in January 2010 and she managed to reach #38 on the Canadian Top 40 charts. She won the opportunity to have her song on Canadian radio through a competition called "Radio Active" which was thrown by Pitbull Promotions. The song was received well and managed to win over Sony Music Canada, who continued to market and promote the song. She was also featured as an emerging artist on the Billboard Canadian Update and won the "Chum Emerging Artist" award for April 2010.
She has collaborated with many established writers including: Alisha M'Jestie Brooks (Rihanna, Pon De Replay), James Fauntleroy (Chris Brown, Beyonce, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and many others), Jarvis Church of the Philosopher Kings (Nelly Furtado) and many others. She has also performed with the Canada's most acclaimed producer, David Foster. She was the winner of his first singing competition in BC called "Opportunity of a lifetime"
She is going to release her second single "Love Drunk" in Canada on July 12, 2010.
Thanks for your time! Would love to see this page back on Wiki with all the new updates!

MSU Interview
Dear Ian13,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Misplaced Pages administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
- Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
- Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
- All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
- All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
- The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck (talk • contribs) 22:49, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:SMRT-Crest.png)
Thanks for uploading File:SMRT-Crest.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:15, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
