{{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 Wikipedia'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. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Hey mate, DRN looks a bit backlogged. Can you give me a hand clearing out some of the old requests?

Re: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive256#One day left to nominate, Arbitration Committee Elections December 2013,[1] I would like to nominate you. The published rules say that you don't have to be an administrator (the real, unwritten rules may differ), and IMO you have the temperament needed. Would you be willing to run? --Guy Macon (talk)
- Guy, I am incredibly flattered, truly I am, but I think I'd rather not, at least not until after I (drum up the courage to) run for adminship again first and thus gain some experience dealing with conduct matters and I'm not ready to even do that yet. The day may come, but I'm just not there yet. Again, thanks very, very much for your confidence in me and I'll try to continue to deserve it in the things I do.

Hi Tman, I notice the Dec/Jan spot is now open, I'd like to take, which would leave the Feb/March spot open for you or others. Does that agree with you?-- — Keithbob • Talk • 02:15, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
- Absolutely fine by me. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 14:18, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

It seems that the Shusha case will close soon unless people respond. Shusha is a trouble spot for WP:ARBAA2. I left notes for three of the editors named in the Shusha request, Zimmarod, Roses&guns and Hablabar. If you have discretion on how quickly this closes, could you consider waiting long enough to see if anyone will respond to this encouragement? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 16:36, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Tuition Fees
Thanks for making the effort to get involved. I notice that your reference out on the talk page of Vince Cable has been reverted - I thought you might wish to deal with that; as an interested party I thought it best if I didn't. Bagunceiro (talk) 22:55, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Question over dispute resolution
Hi TransporterMan. I am currently having a dispute with another user on the Carl Lewis page. Basically I am arguing some editor used a questionable source to make a claim in the field of medicine. Such source is not corroborated or vaguely hinted by other more authoritative ones and reports only a questionable claim (no names, dates or written works etc only a statement like "someone believes that..."). Therefore I found it was an unacceptable source of truth as the scientific community is built around consensus and proven verifiable facts. The other editor thinks I haven't been successful in disproving such claim. He gives credit to the dubious claim but didn't show me a clear reliable source that can corroborate it. I'd like to ask you what would be the more appropriate way to resolve the dispute in Wikipedia as I've seen there are different options. You can find our discussion here talk. The dispute is under the paragraph "Carl Lewis reverted edit (II)". Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by JJCasual (talk • contribs) 19:57, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
- You could use any level, but since there's only the two of you involved in the discussion, why don't you try a Third Opinion to start? You can also go to Dispute Resolution Noticeboard, Mediation Committee, or make a Request for Comments, but I'd think that 3O or even perhaps Reliable Sources Noticeboard, which isn't a DR forum but might give some particularized help, might be a better place to start. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 16:44, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
I didn't notice there was the option for a Reliable Sources Noticeboard. That has been my first choice. Thank you very much! JJCasual 19:59, 16 December 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by JJCasual (talk • contribs)
Hi again. I think the Reliable Sources Noticeboard at [2] confirmed I was right. I have asked the other editor in his talk page if he can please restore my edit. Since he hasn't answered yet and he may well be out for the Christmas period or maybe unwilling to do so what would you suggest to close the dispute once and for all? I presume I shouldn't restore my change by my own initiative. Would a notification to the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard appropriate to formally close the dispute? Kind regards JJCasual (talk) 12:58, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
- Since there are BLPREMOVE considerations, I have gone ahead and reverted the information and noted what I've done on BearMan998's talk page. I would have advised you to wait awhile for his response if that had not been the case. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 15:17, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your additional clarifications. JJCasual (talk) 15:53, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
