Research into the user pages of Wikipedians: Invitation to participate
Greetings,
My name is John-Paul and I am a student with the University of Alberta specializing in Communications and Technology.
I would like to include your Wikipedia user page in a study I am doing about how people present themselves online. I am interested in whether people see themselves in different ways, online and offline. One of the things I am looking at is how contributors to Wikipedia present themselves to each other through their user pages. Would you consider letting me include your user page in my study?
With your consent, I will read and analyze your user page, and ask you five short questions about it that will take about ten to fifteen minutes to answer. I am looking at about twenty user pages belonging to twenty different people. I will be looking at all user pages together, looking for common threads in the way people introduce themselves to other Wikipedians.
I hope that my research will help answer questions about how people collaborate, work together, and share knowledge. If you are open to participating in this study, please reply to this message, on your User Talk page or on mine. I will provide you with a complete description of my research, which you can use to decide if you want to participate.
Thank-you,
John-Paul Mcvea

Hello. I saw that you had looked over requests for usurpations at WP:USURP, but it seems that you accidentally skipped mine. I was the first to request usurpation on November 20. Could you review my request and leave a Done or Not done? Thanks and happy editing! plumaØ03:49, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hey I'm Pratik Lahoti. I had placed a request for changing username on WP:CHU/U on 29th November. There has been no response from the target user(BPositive) uptill now. I have my vacations going on and have planned for Wiki editing. Hope you'll try to usurp it as soon as possible. Thanks. 59.95.52.207 (talk) 10:56, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Why did you deleted my page instead of approving it?
Hi!
Some time ago I've created my first page.
I followed the wizard, and for some reason the page was placed in the wrong namespace, namely "Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation".
Here's the link: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/ Hybrid Memory Cube
I hoped that some good wikipedia person will press the "approve" link (the web site promised me it'll happen soon)
However, what happened next is you've completely deleted the page, instead of approving it. You've just wrote "G8 page dependent on a deleted or nonexistent page", however I assure you my article had good sources.
Could you plz explain why did you do that? Or just undelete my page and place it into the "articles" section?
Michel from Jalapeno Records here.
Can you un-delete our artist's page please.

We will update the content to reflect the band's growing success and achievement. Recently we have had two songs from the band playlisted on major national radio stations, who use wikipedia for biography.
