| == with 82.110.216.127 - a bit late but stil... == | |||
| My name is Jonathan Obar ], 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 community], 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. | |||

| Hi JoanneB, I remember you helped me when I screwed up an article move some time ago, and I thought I might ask if you could move ] back to its original name ]? Someone made an unnecessary mess out of it. ] 05:14, 8 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

| ::: Done! Regards, --]<font color="green">]</font>] 11:41, 8 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| * 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. | |||
| Thank you so much, that's really perfect! Thank you for your time :) ] 12:26, 8 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| * 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. | |||
| *Thank you very much for moving back the page to its original name. Things have been further complicated by the fact the page was moved twice by different people who didn't take the time to think twice about the move. Anyway, there is still a problem : The talk page hasn't been moved. It is still under ]. So can you please also move ] --> ]? Thank you very much in advance. ] 07:11, 9 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Just wondering why you reverted the page without discussion. ] 11:18, 15 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| : I did so while I was patrolling the recent changes for vandalism, because you deleted the complete article (without discussion), to replace it with information about another band.

| :::: Because from what you were doing, it was not clear what you were doing and why. You did not provide an edit summary, so when you removed the text from that article, it was not obvious that you were 'moving it to a more appropriate page'. By the way, regarding those moves, please take a look at ], since the way you are moving those pages is not the right procedure. I'm a bit surprised by your emphasis on me doing stuff without discussion while you are renaming and moving pages without discussion yourself. The only thing I did was move stuff back to the way it was, since I did not see an explanation or discussion about it on the talk page or anywhere else. --]<font color="green">]</font>] 11:40, 15 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::::I didn't discuss it because I thought the need for the change would have been obvious to anyone who knew anything about the topic. You also reverted the page again '''after''' I had explained the change on the talk page, and accused me of vandalism without bothering to look at the facts. If I were unfamiliar with Misplaced Pages, this episode would not have encouraged me to continue contributing to it.

| :::::: If you were more familiar with the amount of vandalism that Misplaced Pages has to endure every day, you might understand a bit better why I did what I did. You might have meant well, but in the beginning, that was not clear, and when you repeated your action, the move was still performed wrong, so I reverted it again. As for the vandalism warning: I did not see your message on the talk page then, sorry about that. I have now fixed all of that (or I hope I have), so now the page history has been restored. As for the 'control freaks and busybodies who enjoy throwing their weight around' - please read ]. I still wish you all the best and hope you'll have a good time contributing to Misplaced Pages.

| I have asked a simple question: '''what is the next step?''' The criteria are being ignored by the administrators who have thus far posted, and it is unclear to me who decides in this matter. Is it a question of convincing one administrator of the merits? I can understand an individual administrator deciding, ''For my part, I shall exercise my administrator's discretion by checking BBC, Google, etc., for guidance'' I can also understand one saying, ''At the end of the day, Misplaced Pages is not a glocal news service, so let's see what the gloal news services say, and just aggregate.'' I will turn the question back on you: is it not odd that CNN and BBC have not covered this? Doesn't it seem anomalous? Not making the main page is one thing, not listed at all is indefensible. ] 16:28, 31 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| : One of the main things you need to consider is that Misplaced Pages doesn't make the news, nor does it report it, it mainly reports what others are reporting. I do not have any insights in the reasons that other resources have not covered it yet, I don't think any Wikipedian can answer that. I play no role in deciding which stories appear on the main page and I'm afraid I can't help you any further. The reason that I removed the <nowiki>{{helpme}}</nowiki> tag from your page is that it had appeared in the channel (#wikipedia-bootcamp) and that we were aware of your request.

| I was not angry at you, or wikipedia, I was mad at the world because I was having a bad day. I hope that I did not offend you. I dont know where you are from but the death of canadian senators happens often (as they serve till age 75) and of the 99 sitting senators, perhaps only one or two (] most likely) can be named by the average canadian, and I'd venture to guess most of the people who know who Segal is dont know he's even in the senate. I was upset because I had found out via Misplaced Pages's "Canadian Senate" page, and so updated the "Party Standings" page to match. the data I found was on Parliament's website, which is a good place for this information. I dont think the death of a canadian senator's ever been questioned (in fact, every time someone informs us someone is dead via the canadian senate page, I update the party standings page without even checking, something I should not do) but in the future I will include the link when someone dies. Retirements however are recorded on the page itself and I hope I dont need links for that. ] 13:22, 2 February 2006 (UTC) | |||
| BTW, the death of canadian senators is almost never reported on by the media, unless that senator is well known for some reason (for example, Mr.Segal) and even then it's usually a short article. Senators here are more similar to the british Lords then the US Senate in that they are relativly powerless. ] 13:26, 2 February 2006 (UTC) | |||

MSU Interview
Dear JoanneB,
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.

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:Blue flowers 1.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.
This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Hi Joanne - I was just transferring free photos to Commons, and came across this file. I see that it was uploaded by Tagishsimon but is credited to you. Could you confirm that this is your photo and you agree to publish it under the stated license? Kelly 17:30, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
- Oops, never mind - I just saw your edit in the page history. Kelly 17:40, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
- It does appear to be my photo. As the en version has been deleted, I'm in the dark as to how it came to be credited to someone else. @Kelly: ... do you remember what the page history said? --Tagishsimon (talk) 21:44, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Tagishsimon: - apologies, I don't remember what the history said exactly. You may want to have an administrator take a look for you. Kelly 22:57, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
