I recently translated the article de:Mikrotom to Microtome. I am not a fluent german speaker, and would appreciate if you are able to cast your eye over my work, correcting it as needed. I found your page by Wikipedia:Translators_available#German-to-English and saw the comment about lots of free time :). If you don't have time to do this, please let me know and I will drop a line on another translator's page. Thanks. User A1 (talk) 03:58, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have done a GA Reassessment of the Litchfield Towers article as part of the GA Sweeps project. My review can be found here. I have found that the artice does not meet the current GA Criteria. As such I have put the article on hold for a week and I am notifying all interested projects and editors. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me on my talk page.

I saw that you had deleted this in the past. Was there a reason? I couldn't find the reasons why. I would think it would be a good idea given the numerous things he has been involved in. Of course I am just talking about ideas and am ignorant of any possible wikipedia policies about templates. Thanks! Arnabdas (talk) 20:09, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hello RyanGerbil10! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot notifying you on behalf of the the unreferenced biographies team that 1 of the articles that you created is currently tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 3 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
Regarding a little something that you did 2 years ago...
I have been brought to the attention to this, where you have removed the {{Non-free Microsoft software screenshot}} template as a result of the TfD, but have not replaced it with a suitable tag (namely {{Non-free software screenshot}}), which is the reason for a CSD on the file in question a few days ago. Now, I have added the relevant tag, and I will AGF as I assume that you had no ill intent in doing so, but should I be aware of any other files that you have done the same to, so that I can add the relevant tags so they do not end up being unnecessarily deleted? Thanks. -- 李博杰 | —Talkcontribsemail06:21, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I am currently undergoing the painstaking process of generating quality articles concerning notable characters in the Warcraft/World of Warcraft universe. I understand from skimming the AfD archives that a great many of them once existed and were deleted primarily on the basis of being badly written and poorly sourced. I am attempting to rectify this situation. To aid in this effort, I have created a userfied version of the deleted template at User:Cjmclark/Sandbox/Warcraft/Template:Warcraft character.
This template is only being used in articles currently under development in my sandbox, but I would like to make it live in the mainspace as those articles near completion. As you are the administrator responsible for deleting the template following the discussion referenced in the subject, I would like your opinion on the regeneration of this template prior to placing it in the mainspace. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. Cjmclark (Contact)16:02, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MSU Interview
Dear RyanGerbil10,
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 communityHERE, where 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 nameHERE 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.
Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Knights of Columbus FAC
Hello! Seven years ago you took part reviewing the Knights of Columbus article when it was up for Featured Article. It passed then, but was later delisted. I've addressed the new concerns and have put it back up for consideration again. If you would be kind enough to review the article again and then offer either your support or suggestions on its new nomination page, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks! --Briancua (talk) 13:47, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
