Thank you for the information. Understand the comments and agree with the suggestion. Uptodateinfo

{{Hangon}} for Course Selection at Earl Haig Secondary School

I have once again put the {{Hangon}} Template on the article, but I'm quite unsure why this article would be moved to deletion. It doesn't seem to have vandalized the copyrighted content, and also doesn't seem to have plagiarized someone's work. I can see what you are talking about, but I think that this article shouldn't be deleted. Otherwise, I will improve this article to Misplaced Pages's standard. But thanks for your notice.

Please contact me if you have any concerns.

Besides I'm only a Wikipedian for less than 6 months so I'm quite inexperienced. However the quality and standard of my articles will improve. Challisrussia (talk)

Village with offensive name

Just looked at your referral for Kotak, a village with an allegedly offensive name. The offensive word would be kotok (which is offensive slang for penis in at least Kyrgyz. However, Kotak should be ok -- it also appears on google maps for roughly the same location shown in the article -- Google Map of Kotak. Thanks for checking up on it, though! ~~

Hello! You tell for the this article, please--Many baks (talk) 23:30, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I have no opinion about that proposal and do not have time at the moment to research it in order to take an enlightened position on the matter. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 15:02, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Ali Mediation

Yes I still think this requires mediation; this is a contentius issue that needs sorting out. However, I believe I have answered your questions already. Brough87 (talk) 22:04, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

See my response at the mediation talk page. — TransporterMan (TALK) 04:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Lie to Me (album)

I have added more info to the dispute resolution page as you requested,I am just trying to understand why someone feel's what I added to the Misplaced Pages Article: Lie to Me(album), in the Personnel section (* Mark Pagliaro - Jonny Lang's guitar tech on 1997 Lie to Me Tour), as I am that person and it is a true statement by me and I have a letter from Blue Sky Artist Management written in 1997 documenting me as Jonny Lang's guitar tech for the 1997 Lie to Me Tour. I am now retired from the music industry and have nothing to gain from this edit and just thought that I was adding some fact to the article and did not realize that this would be some kind of issue for other users or readers. Maybe you could shed some light on this matter, so I can understand why what I did is being deemed as Conflict of Interest??? I did not intend to cause such a problem on this site.Thank You mdp0007Mark Pagliaro 22:55, 26 November 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdp0007 (talk • contribs)

It would be inappropriate for me, as a member of the Mediation Committee, to respond to your questions while your request for mediation is still pending. If you will be patient, your questions will either be answered during the mediation, if your request is accepted, or more directly if it is not. As it is, by requesting mediation you have set in motion a process which must be completed one way or another before other things can happen. The one thing that I can tell you right now is that there are good answers for your questions. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 15:22, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank You for your direct answer to my questions.mdp0007Mark Pagliaro 04:26, 28 November 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdp0007 (talk • contribs)

I'm going to post a response on your talkpage. Please see it there. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 15:06, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank's,but the liner note's on the album state the same thing,So as of now I am sick and tired of going round and round with igotistical moron's so do what you please with the edit as I will not becoming back to this site ever as I am disqusted with it's anal policies and hogwash GOOD LUCK TO ALL mdp000798.159.211.130 (talk) 08:21, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Dispute resolution volunteer survey

Dispute Resolution – Volunteer Survey Invite Hello TransporterMan. To follow up on the first survey in April, I am conducting a second survey to learn more about dispute resolution volunteers - their motivations for resolving disputes, the experiences they've had, and their ideas for the future. I would appreciate your thoughts. I hope that with the results of this survey, we will learn how to increase the amount of active, engaged volunteers, and further improve dispute resolution processes. The survey takes around five to ten minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. Please click HERE to participate. Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts. You are receiving this invitation because you have either listed yourself as a volunteer at a dispute resolution forum, or are a member of a dispute resolution committee. For more information, please see the page that describes my fellowship work which can be found here. Szhang (WMF) (talk) 02:46, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Alexander Mirtchev and dispute resolutions

Hello TransporterMan, I saw the edit you made to Alexander Mirtchev and I would like to start by saying that while I might disagree with your edit, I will accept it.

My question is more general. If one were to look at the revision history of the page, one would notice a long line of reversions. I am familiar with the 3 revert rule, which is why I brought it to the third opinion noticeboard. I would not be surprised if the user with whom I have a disagreement will again remove the current version of the controversy section in its entirety.

I would like to get this issue resolved but the user with whom I have a disagreement seems unwilling to engage me in the talk page. Does your intervention into this page make you something of a de facto arbitrator? Is it appropriate for me to ask you additional questions about the page? If the bickering between myself and RachelleLin continues, what is the next step? KazakhBT (talk) 19:43, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

There are no content arbitrators at Misplaced Pages. Except for a few instances (generally those having legal implications) such as libel, copyright, legal threats, and a couple of others, all decisions are made by consensus. My personal standard is not to get involved with further matters involving an article at which I've given a third opinion, but you can ask for general advice at Editor assistance. If the question involves a living person, you can also ask at the BLP noticeboard. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 20:55, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Citation Needed

Thanks for the help but I am obviously really, really new to this. (It's my very first effort) I was able to get a "citation needed" superscript inserted following the text stream, but I'm not sure if I got the "tag it with" part correct. I tried selecting the test and then inserting a WikiMarkup special character and that just put double brackets around the selected text. So then I de-selected the text and simply pasted in your "{{CN}}" formatting after the text. That gave me the superscripted note as hoped-for. But it was just a superscript after the text and not linked to the text in any way.

Sorry I'm a dufus about this at the moment: hopefully I can learn a bit more quickly after I get through this. Can you tell me if I've done this correctly or if I need to somehow link the text to the "citation needed" reference?

Filbertosis (talk) 03:05, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you meant by "linked to the text". The tag simply sits after the text in question and doesn't otherwise link to it. It's just like this (this is what the code would look like):

This is the unsupported text.{{cn}} This the the text after the unsupported text.

That's all there is to it. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 03:22, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

You're awesome in my book.

Thank you very, very much for chiming in on my Editor Assistance Request. Doniago (talk) 16:48, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

You're very welcome. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 16:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Man. :) I'd appreciate it if you would be willing to review and perhaps comment on the RFC that ensued, but I would also understand if you wanted to stay away from it.

That said, if anything ever comes up here where you feel my expertise could be of use, please don't hesitate to call on me. Thanks again for all of the insight you've offered at both the EAR and the WT:V discussions. Doniago (talk) 18:04, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

DRN on Friedrich Eckenfelder

This regards a case at DRN, specifically: Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Talk:Friedrich Eckenfelder Despite arguments to the contrary by User:ChrisGualtieri I think this case remains about user conduct regarding content rather than a dispute over content. I was going to chime in with this and, perhaps, close it and direct the participants over to WP:RfC/U but wanted to check with yourself first on what you thought - Cabe6403 13:23, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry that I wasn't around earlier, but with the subsequent discussion with ChrisGualtieri, I think this was a good close. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 16:01, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Oops, thanks for finding my error.

Thank you for finding the weirdness on the talk page, and I apologize for the error. That did not belong there at all, and certainly should not have been placed where it was, even if it had belonged on that page at all.User talk:Unfriend12 18:03, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Juan Manuel de Rosas

Hello, TransporterMan. For the second time the thread about Juan Manuel de Rosas I opened at the Dispute resolution noticeboard has been closed. The ongoing discussion on the article's talk page is leading nowhere, since neither I nor the other editor are willing to give up on each other's view. Unfortunately, although other editors have edited the article in the past couple of days, none of them bothered to take part in the discussion. My request for a third opinion was also closed. The present situation demands someone neutral. Someone else that can be part of the discussion and give an end to it. --Lecen (talk) 22:44, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
