Bzuk, bilcat & milboureone

Have created a situation which began by mulitple, repearted reverts of edits to avaition artile without citation requests. moreover when I began to explain my edits on various article talk pages, eithe no discussion resulted, or they refered back to the same references that I debunked with multiple, more accurate source; or they began personal attack. more over they locked, block article with not legitimate reason anf on there talk pages made unfounded and disparaging remarks. it is my opinion that all thre regularly abuse their administrative power and that those previleges should be revoked. No reply is needed and I won t be checking back here. However, a response in terms of the recommended revolking of administrator status is requested, and I believe required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1002:B027:1A31:5E31:EC67:4A2C:8EDC (talk) 10:34, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Of those three, only MilborneOne is an administrator, so there's no administrator status to revoke for Bzuk and BilCat. On the other hand, I'm not an administrator (aka sysop) and, even if I was one, administrators have no particular powers over other administrators. If you wish to seek desysopping of someone, you need to start a complaint at AN or ANI, after carefully reading the instructions on that page, and be prepared to monitor and respond to responses made there (and anyone who files at one of those forums also needs to be aware of the possibility that their complaint may boomerang on them). — TransporterMan (TALK) 13:49, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

DRN

Hi T-man. I know you are travelling or about to be, but just wanted to bring something to your attention; I was looking at the Supercarrier discussion and found that you said an editor recused as a volunteer for that dispute, yet a week later the same editor posted a "Volunteer Note" in the same section. Although the person who initiated the discussion withdrew the complaint, and there was no actual consequence in this instance, I probably don't need to say much more for you to understand what I'm getting at. If you do want me to go further than that, of course please feel free let me know. Regards, Ncmvocalist (talk) 15:29, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Acknowledged and understood (and sorry for the delay in response). Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 15:04, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Kashmir Conflict thread

There is reverting in the Kashmir conflict thread. Human3015 edited a post by an unregistered editor. The unregistered editor reverted the edits, saying not to edit the comments of others. This might be an off-by-one, but it may need a quick look to see whether it needs to be addressed further. I will also notify User:Steven Zhang. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:48, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

I've responded at Steve's talk page. — TransporterMan (TALK) 17:45, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Question

User:TransporterMan, since you are a member of WP "Dispute Resolution," can I ask for your professional advice? I would like to know if there is any option available for me as an editor, and where I can request a "dispute resolution" involving content in the article Intelligent design. For a better understanding of the issues that we have been discussing, see: Talk:Intelligent design#Proposal to Change Introductory Lines of Article. I'm at a perfect loss as to what to do. Your advice will be appreciated.Davidbena (talk) 20:34, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. You've requested dispute resolution through formal mediation and that request will be pending (unless you withdraw it) until July 8. If it is rejected after that time because not enough people participate (it might be a bit longer because I'm going to be traveling and may not get back online to close or accept it before the 14th or so, though some other member of the Committee may close or accept it in my absence), then you can try either DRN or a RFC. If the editors you're in conflict with won't participate in mediation, there's a good chance that they also won't participate at DRN, so RFC might be your best bet in that circumstance. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 21:05, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll hold-off until the end of this mediation-process has run its course. Have a good vacation!Davidbena (talk) 21:13, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

How incivil of me

Hey, dude, hope you don't mind my corrections of "incivil" to your essay Misplaced Pages:Responding to a failure to discuss. It's kinda weird that it is "incivility" but "uncivil", I must grant you that regardless (great essay, btw— nicely done and very helpful). KDS4444 22:44, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Not at all, thanks very much for the fix. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 18:46, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Message for you

Hi, I wrote in Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for mediation/Description of the causes of a war a message for you and Dentren. Let's me know your answer, if any, there. --Keysanger (talk) 12:10, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

You're back?

yay :) Steven Zhang 22:00, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Not really, just grabbing a moment here and there while in transit. Probably won't really be active again until Wednesday. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 16:30, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Good to see you're back now :) I've done a fair bit of work on DRN if you want to take a look. Steven Zhang 13:32, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

My time this morning is going to be very limited and I've got some MedCom things which have to be done. I've commented on the header changes and reverted to the old header, let's discuss online. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 13:38, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Noticed and replied there. All the best. Steven Zhang 13:40, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Mediation Committee

Dear Chair of The Mediation Committee,

I am writing as an inquiry of assisting the Mediation Committee. This may include eventual request for nomination. I am wondering if you can provide me with any more information so that I may advance in my hopes to contribute to the Misplaced Pages community and specifically the Mediation Committee.

Sincerely, The Novac — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Novac (talk • contribs) 05:43, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

I'd suggest that you accumulate 1,500-3,000 edits doing regular article editing, then begin by working at Third Opinion, followed by working at Dispute Resolution Noticeboard for awhile. Successful candidates for the Mediation Committee are generally experienced general editors whose skill in dispute resolution as been thoroughly demonstrated at other Dispute resolution forums. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 16:39, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

An Easy Decline

You have an easy case to decline. One editor wants the Mediation Committee to block another editor from editing an article so as to enforce his article ownership of an article about a family member. The case is also pending at WP:ANI to block the requesting editor on grounds of competence. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:02, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Your essay

Can you point me to your excellent essay on dealing with unresponsive parties in a dispute? PS weclome back!-- — Keithbob • Talk • 15:55, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

WP:DISCFAIL, and thanks. Feels good to have been missed. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 15:58, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Interview for my dissertation

hello, My name is yilmaz. I am doing master at Sussex in the field of media and cultural studies and I am writing dissertation about Misplaced Pages as a commons but I need to have an interview with at least three (3) Wikipedians. I send you an interview form, which consists of twelve questions. The interview is crucial to analyse the main logic of Misplaced Pages and digital commons. I hope you will help me for this.

Best Regards Yilmaz

Thank you for considering me, but I would prefer not to participate. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 12:56, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
