User:Brian New Zealand/message

Hi Briam, There is a user William de Berg who is commiting vandalism in the wickpedia. He is making false accusations against Adriana Ferreyrand citing references that do not prove the accuracy of his stamentes. Is there any way to prevent his behaviour which falls under the category of slander and are of a defamatory nature. Thank you, Jane. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jane77765 (talk • contribs) 15:14, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Adriana Ferreyr

Dear sir,

With regard to my contribution to the article of Ms Ferreyr. I have only quoted what she has submitted to the New York Supreme Court in her own testimony. You will understand that this is neither slander or defamatory. It is how Ms Ferreyr describes herself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by William de Berg (talk • contribs) 15:34, 17 September 2011 (UTC) (sorry forgot to sign) William de Berg (talk) 15:39, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

MSU Interview

Dear Brian,

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 community HERE, were 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. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 16:14, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Suggested name change to Orders, decorations, and medals of New Zealand

I have suggested changing the name of page Orders, decorations, and medals of New Zealand to New Zealand Royal Honours System and see that you've edited this page in the past. Do you have an opinion on this change? Talk Page
