my honey do list :-)
Hi James,

I'm rarely in front of the computer for more than 15 minutes at a time these days, so I'd need to look through contribs and such. Any particular order you'd like me to do them in?

I'll shoot you an email in a little bit, gotta feed the animals before the storm starts. --SB_Johnny talk 12:03, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Renaming my account!
Hello. Can I know why you tried to rename my account? I didn't ask you to do that.--Avocato (talk) 19:14, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok, no problems then. Thanks for replying.--Avocato (talk) 22:59, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Re your help protecting a page
Thanks for putting the protection on Portal:The_Science_Behind_Parkinson's/Things_you_can_do recently. The same changes are still being made and the user is Domtheo who has no User page. Can he/she be prevented from doing this?

Thanks. Droflet (discuss • contribs) 16:26, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Forced user renames coming soon for SUL
Hi, sorry for writing in English. I'm writing to ask you, as a bureaucrat of this wiki, to [//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Single+User+Login+finalisation+announcement%2FPersonal+announcement&filter=&action=page translate and review the notification] that will be sent to all users, also on this wiki, who will be forced to change their user name on May 27 and will probably need your help with renames. You may also want to help with the pages Rename practices and Global rename policy. Thank you, Nemo 13:08, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Probationary custodianship
James, thank you for recognizing my contributions. Yes, if you're willing to nominate and mentor me, and the community is willing to have me, I'd be honored to support Wikiversity as a probationary custodian. Let me know how we should proceed. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 19:45, 3 February 2013 (UTC)


 * James, just following up. I'd like to pursue probationary custodianship.  What do we need to do to begin the process?  Thanks!  -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 17:30, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Questions for candidate
I have asked 2 questions here: Candidates_for_Custodianship/Dave_Braunschweig! Feel free to move those, if I have posted in wrong part of the CFC discussion! --Tito Dutta (Talk) 10:46, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Custodianship
Hi Jtneill (I like the username), I want to become a custodian and right now, I am on Wikiversity:Candidates for Custodianship and now, I need many people and users to help me out. You may not know, but there are some harmful and useless pages out there, even some dangerous users. So if you want Wikiversity to be sparkling clean! Please grant me my wish to be custodian. You can reply on my discussion page or Candidates for Custodianship/Draubb! Bye Draubb (discuss • contribs) 00:51, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I am pretty sure that his two "friends" are really sockpuppets for vote-stacking/ballot-stuffing. Do you agree?--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:53, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

That is not true at all. Those two "friends" are my family members who have supported me. No sockpuppetry was included. --Draubb (discuss • contribs) 20:24, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Rename
I haven't been renamed yet. --The Gir’s and Sing 17:35, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, will try to have a look at rename requests soon. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 23:26, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Administrator
Hello Jtneill, I have seen a lot of spammers and these vandals. And they are no active users who have the admin tools. What do you think about this? --<span style="text-shadow:-3px 2 red,0 1px lightred,1px 0 red,0 -1px lightred;"><b style="color:#0645ad">The Gir’s</b> <b style="color:#fb139e">and Sing</b> 22:14, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Any help welcomed. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 23:26, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * While spam is a huge problem on this wiki (perhaps opting into global sysops will help - see Colloquium), I strongly oppose granting Draubb custodian access - his maturity has not improved since his first request.--Jasper Deng (talk) 00:21, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Custodian Assistance
I noticed your comment in the Colloquium regarding keeping up with bureaucrat/custodian tasks. I'm still willing to support Wikiversity as a probationary custodian if you're still willing to mentor. Please let me know what the next step is. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 16:36, 4 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the update. I'll try not to break anything!  :-)   Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 22:59, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Question about importing
Hi, thanks again for the probationary custodian trial. I was wondering if I have the ability to import histories. It seems complicated to do, so I'd be willing to do it for anyone who is serious about putting serious effort into making it a Wikiversity related article, and not just copy, paste, abandon. Well, I'm happy with my current custodian rights. - Sidelight12 Talk 21:39, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

User rename request

Custodians/bureaucrats
Hi Jtneill. I see that you struggle to keep up with the bureaucrat work. You're clearly the only active bureaucrat on this project as the other (former) active crat, isn't active anymore since February this year. Maybe you should think about electing new bureaucrats? The custodians Mathonius and Ruy Pugliesi are less active than they were, but maybe you should also promote them as full custodians? After two years they should finally be experienced enough, one would say. ;) Also: you may close the request of Draubb, I guess, since there are quite a lot opposes and not much supports. Hope you don't mind I helped clearing up Wikiversity:Changing username a bit with my steward flag (3 are left, I did the ones which I confirm they were OK). Take care. You don't need to answer this very quickly. With regards, Trijnstel (discuss • contribs) 12:16, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, could you please close this discussion so that the stewards can implement it? Trijnstel (discuss • contribs) 12:19, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I decided to [//en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiversity:Candidates_for_Custodianship&diff=1055466&oldid=1037078 be bold] and archived the requests of Draubb. Trijnstel (discuss • contribs) 20:20, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thankyou, Trinjstel, very much appreciate your support, message, and being bold here to close some outstanding matters and make suggestions - will get the rest of these moving. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 06:54, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! Trijnstel (discuss • contribs) 12:06, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, you might want to be aware of RFD and User talk:Dave Braunschweig - there seem to be some concerns about his handling of deletion requests, and views regarding notability, and I think he's your mentee? --Rschen7754 07:07, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Almost forgot, but thanks for the various actions (closing discussions, requests and nominating Mathonius for full custodianship). Trijnstel (discuss • contribs) 10:38, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Images
Hi James,

I just want to check, that any picture that is currently from the Wikimedia commons is ok for me to use?

Thank you

Hey!
Hi James good to hear from you! Might need you in 5th grade instead of city suburban mate, we have been struggling with numbers the last few weeks. Season has started pretty well 3 wins from 4 games and a few nice 30s which is much better than starting with ducks or single digit scores. First day of red ball cricket starts tomorrow so pretty keen to get out there and make a big score.

The book chapter has started to take shape, there are so many interesting bits to talk about, can definitely see what you meant when you said 4000 words was not very much! Thanks for that update on the feedback, looking at all the other chapters there are some people leaving it to the very last minute. Marking is going to be a huge task, definitely don't envy you there.

Cheers Michael Barrington (discuss • contribs) 11:48, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Script error
Hello. Do you know who to ask about resolving the 'script error' problems? Dave Braunschweig was also wondering. Request custodian action. Thanks in advance. - Sidelight12 Talk 13:11, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Username change request
I just posted a request for a username change. It doesn't seem like that is a very active page so I just thought I'd post a note to your user talk page as well. Thanks for considering my request. Newjerseyliz (discuss • contribs) 13:50, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

MaintenanceBot
James, could you take a look at my request for Bot status for the account MaintenanceBot? I would like to use this bot to notify users of files pending deletion. Thanks for your consideration! -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 01:22, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback
I very much appreciated your feedback, and am sad I missed out on so much! I have tried to add in the references you mentioned as I can remember the sources and was just very wary of the word count. I will try to keep adding to the chapter so it is a quality source :) EmmaP (discuss • contribs) 11:42, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Discussion
Hello Jtneill! You are invited to this discussion ---> https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User_talk:Dave_Braunschweig#Adminship --goldenburg111 (talk) 16:40, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Harassment and Harassment via Proxy
As per the unblock, Abd made it clear that he wouldn't continue his previous actions. His previous actions were waging war against me and harassing me because I blocked him before and had his temporary custodianship removed. As you can see on my talk page, he is trying to wage war via himself and via proxy. He also brought up such history in completely unrelated history. His talking about aspects of my real life on his talk page are unsettling at best.

Please review this situation and do what you can to nip the harassment in the bud. Ottava Rima (talk) 15:19, 23 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Can you please include me? I don't see any words where he calles you stupid or anything. Isn't it the other way around? Didn't you harass me??? --Goldenburg111 (talk|contribs) 15:21, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I suddenly harassed you? So you have revealed that you never had good intentions on my talk page? Wonderful. You are definitely not welcome on my talk page at all. Ottava Rima (talk) 16:03, 23 December 2013 (UTC)


 * My apologies, James. I did not know that Goldenberg was going to contact Ottava. If I acted improperly here, I'm open to feedback. I don't know if you have seen the activity on wikiversity–l. Ottava still behaves as if he owns Wikiversity, with the right to tell other users what they can and cannot do, and it's appearing from that conversation that a number of users may have been driven off by his present and past behavior. However, I'm not asking for any action here. Goldenberg did not realize that he should not revert Ottava's removal of my comment, I've advised him to avoid that, and that his comment on Ottava's Talk page, asking about what Ottava had written about me, could be considered provocative. I responded, not merely because of the recent response from Ottava, but because of similar comments he made while I was blocked and before. ––Abd (discuss • contribs) 18:35, 23 December 2013 (UTC)


 * @Ottava Rima - Let me say this: I am sorry Ottava if it looks like I did not mean that Welcome, I do actually. Sorry about reverting the comment, I truly apologize for my behavior. --Goldenburg111 (talk|contribs) 18:54, 23 December 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm watching if any problems continue. - Sidelight12 Talk 04:42, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
