Hey there. I've been flat out lately with fellow stuff, do you think you could take a look at the cases requiring a volunteer and see if you can do anything with them? Steven Zhang ^{Help resolve disputes!} 20:18, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So does this imply that you've now concluded there are no longer any Hong Kong residents and that God didn't create Manchester? And, maybe, there's something about Olivia Newton-John? Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 16:06, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Xanchester! Thanks for answering Teahouse questions! You're doing fine, of course, but there is one thing. we've found in the past that a lot of people who ask questions at the Teahouse don't really know about watchlist functions or things like that, and they don't automatically keep an eye on the questions page. So, we've found it's really helpful to them to drop them a talkback when their questions are answered; otherwise, many don't even see the answer. There's a special Teahouse talkback if you prefer that over the normal one, and if scripts are your thing, there are a few at WP:Teahouse/Host lounge/User scripts that I and others have made to make the process a bit easier (the talkback-link one gets good reviews). Thanks again! Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 05:40, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Intangible Cultural Heritage elements in Northern Europe, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Crosses (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

There a reason you replaced my deletion nomination of Embedded Parallel Operating System with another one two minutes later? Or did we both get the same good idea at the same time? — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 14:09, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for notifying me, and yes, I nominated the article using Twinkle at the same time as you did. I thought that Twinkle cancels the AfD if it detects that one has already been nominated, but apparently not. I'll tag the second nomination for speedy deletion (CSD G6, for technical deletions).--xanchester (t) 14:14, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quite fine! Two nominations are better than none! (Well, actually, since these are deletion nominations, I suppose it's the other way around, but you know what I mean. ;) ) — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 14:23, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, also, don't forget to endorse the first AfD now! It's a pretty low-visibility article, and I can't see how any informed editor could think it has any purpose, so I figure if we get a few delete votes I'll snowball it for early closure. — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 14:32, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute Resolution – Volunteer Survey Invite Hello Xanchester. 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)[reply]

Hey, sorry to be the bearer of bad news... Though your application was perfect and your account fully approved, we ran out of access codes 7 short of the total who signed up in round 6. I've gone ahead and moved you to the top of the list for round 7. If and as soon as we are given access to more accounts, you will be first to receive it. If you need help accessing sources, WikiProject Resource Exchange is a great place to go, or for HighBeam specifically, you might try asking one of the other 1000 editors who have HighBeam access this year. Again, I'm sorry, and I'll keep pushing for more access to these valuable resources. Cheers, Ocaasi ^{t | c} 18:24, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to make you aware of this discussion I started at Winter storm naming. I have no intentions of making any changes to the article myself, but was just hoping to get input from editors previously involved in the article (or recently-closed AfD) in an effort to improve the article and clarify its purpose. I will leave any changes to the consensus of other editors who decide what's best. Your participation would be welcome, regardless of your views on the issue.

Hi there, I noticed that you haven't been as active at DRN as you was before. DRN has been a bit backlogged lately and we could use some extra hands. We have updated our volunteer list to a new format, Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteers (your name is still there under the old format if you haven't updated it) and are looking into ways to make DRN more effective and more rewarding for volunteers (your input is appreciated!). If you don't have much time to volunteer at the moment, that's fine too, just move your name to the inactive list (you're free to add yourself back to active at any time).
