	Sterling work expanding the Christopher Loeak article; I see it's now made it to ItN. Nice one. Yunshui 雲‍水 10:33, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On 2 January 2012, In the news was updated with a news item that involved the article Sudanese nomadic conflicts, which you substantially updated. If you know of another interesting news item involving a recently created or updated article, then please suggest it on the candidates page.

While doing some research i stumbled upon your draft of an article for the Battle of El Herri. It seems to be complete, and i was wondering why you haven't published it yet. If the lead is expanded to two paragraphs it could easily make good article status if not better. XavierGreen (talk) 18:43, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Dumelow,

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 Wikipedia 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 [email protected] (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 [email protected]. 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) 05:49, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Roberts married Rosemary Giles in 1960 and had two children before she died in 1973, he remarried to Wendy Moore in 1978." Can you reword this in David Gwilym Morris Roberts? It doesn't quite make sense. --LauraHale (talk) 10:58, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply] I have tried to clarify this by splitting it into two sentences.

If you get the time, I was hoping you would consider helping us get it lively by doing a peer review. You are receiving this because of your great work on the Zanzibar featured articles. Wikipedia:Africa-related regional notice board/Peer review is where you can go to participate and any activity would be really helpful in getting more use out of a dead, but potentially useful space. Thanks for your time, and don't worry if other commitments get in the way.
