User:AGK/Header

I need you to please recover artice:Pbx software and send a copy to me thanks If you need access to a Wikipedia article that has been deleted, ask me. If it's not a copyright violation, libel, or personal information, and has not been deleted as a suspected WP:BLP violation, I will provide the text for you.

Note that using the text to recreate a deleted article automatically qualifies it for speedy deletion, and keeping deleted content hanging around in your userspace has gotten editors penalized before. But that's your problem.

There is still only one response to your query about accepting me as mediator for the Gilad Shalit case. Should I contact the participants on their talk pages and ask them to indicate their acceptance? Sunray (talk) 15:27, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can go ahead and contact them if you wish, but remember that any messages you use to prompt them into signing up shouldn't be too "forceful": Mediation is, of course, a voluntary process. Fundamentally, however, I see no problem with you dropping a note on their talk pages.

Here's the note I put on their talk pages:

"I have agreed to mediate the discussion in the Gilad Shalit case, if accepted by the participants. I have experience mediating in the world outside Wikipedia and have completed the Dispute Resolution Program at the Justice Institute of British Columbia, Canada. I have been a Wikipedia contributor since 2003 and have informally mediated several cases, including one for MedCab (which was concluded successfully). I have applied to join the Mediation Committee. As a mediator, my role would be to facilitate discussion. My approach would include the following:

• Listen to all participants
• Help formulate an agenda
• Identify common interests
• Identify pertinent facts/policies/research that would assist participants in forming agreement
• Facilitate an agreement and action plan.

As a non-member of Medcom, the convention is for participants to approve the mediator. Please indicate your response here."

It seems to be working as one more has signed on! Sunray (talk) 00:18, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I noticed when browsing the party talk page. :) That message seems fine, Sunray, and I've no problems with it.

You're under stressful times here, and you're getting nowhere fast. I think, however, the main problem is you're approaching things from the wrong angle, and with the wrong attitude. What is it that you need done? I will undertake my best attempts to help, so long as what you need is fair and warranted.

I made a few minor suggestions (creation of a redirect, minor restructuring of rfar) and I have been almost crucified for it. I do not know. I do need the redirect to more easily link to the case.

• As it stands, I probably will be forced to link to the Davenbelle for the next 47 years if my past 3 years is any indication. I wil hand feed the community more evidence and links to past cases (which are less than fun to type). I do not expect this dispute to be resolved for decades. If I turn out to be wrong... Well I suppose that is a good thing.
• I also need to be able to follow discussions on ArbCom. I spend a good deal of my time editing from a shared GPRS connection which has a speed close to a shared 56k (its slightly less). It's sluggish as is. As much as I find arbcom to be completely useless when dealing with disputes, the incompetent wikipedia will not move a yoctometer to help me and delegate the dispute to arbcom like it did the past 3 years.

I intend to file an rfar case on Jack Merridew. I know there is a clarification but the overly complex long term nature of the case that seems to be a better way to address the problem. You being a clerk can probably make the transition better than I. Please make this transition. A clarification has a very high chance of disappearing for inactivity per my past experience.

I seemingly need to demonstrate mediation (a field of science I have no interest to) in order to abolish an arbcom remedy. Since arbcom has shown complete apathy on the matter, I have to do this all by my self. Fun thing is I am only interested in the removal of this non-expiring remedy. Currently the remedy only serves to help trolls. I am open to suggestions on getting this remedy off my back.

Not a problem. :) Check out User:AGK/Advice for new Administrators, if you have a moment. ;) Good luck with the new tools.

Hi, could you give me some advise, I'm doing edits to this page, improving it and generally tidying it up but was wondering if it is possible to delete posts made on the talk page. The earlier posts are pretty messy but wasn't sure if it was against policy to delete other people's posts regardless. You can see what i mean on the page. (please reply to my user talk page if convenient) Ru (talk) 10:48, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you indeed! Much appreciated. ;) Regards, Anthøny 22:14, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any objection to making vade mecum into vade mecum (or handbook)? :-) Latin confuses some people without classical education. Carcharoth (talk) 21:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I should have offered a link there. ;) I've no objections, and it would probably be helpful. Go for it!

Anthøny 22:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are a few applications awaiting your approval here. Dreamafter (talk) 23:18, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is a very long story, that I'd like to share with you. Would you be willing to go inside and to help? Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 14:16, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
