I had some Wikitime the last few days. Do you have time to read over Allan Hills A81005 and nominate it for DYK? Hope your doing well. --Tobias1984 (talk) 10:12, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
- Lucky you; no wiki time here. All is good just busy, busy. But yup, I'll try to get to that tonight. By the way, and only because English is not your first language, you're your own best teacher :) -Arb. (talk) 18:25, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

SUL / usurpation of usernames
You want help by an admin on German Wikibooks. Note that this issue isn't an admin's job but a bureaucrat's job. In each wiki project you may look for a page like Project:RENAME or a similar one. In de-WB I created the site b:de:Project:RENAME. Please follow the English instructions on this site. -- Juetho (talk) 18:17, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks Juethol. Will make the request there. This reply can be proof of my ID. -Arb. (talk) 20:03, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

The article Vera MacLeavy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Unclear why she is notable. Sources, as far a they work, are either trivial (her obituary), passing mentions, or (mostly) "inside" sources from her church, not independent sources about her. Looking for other sources, I can only find passing mentions (like "communicated by archivist Vera MacLeavy of the ..." and the like), nothing substantial.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fram (talk) 07:48, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
- You are mistaken Fram. She is mentioned many times in the Gleaner (Jamaica's main and venerable newspaper) - check their archive index (access to articles requires payment) and doubtless in other offline sources. We're dealing here with someone who was active in the pre-internet era so it's not surprising that Google does not turn up much. -Arb. (talk) 12:58, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:Glenmuir High School Logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Glenmuir High School Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 23:31, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- Resolved. -Arb. (talk) 00:01, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Juan de Bolas River
Hi, I'm trying to get in contact with you but it seems hard. I do need that file you mentioned and also I need a clear understanding of exactly were the river runs. I can't get that from the info you provided so far and there is not much info on the internet about that river.
So if you want me to do the graphic work you have to get back to me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:00, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Bryan Versteeg
Hello, I'm Anup. I noticed in the recent changes log that you moved an article from your userspace to Wikipedia:. I guess you already knew Wikipedia:ZZZ space is reserved for wikipedia related stuffs. Taking into consideration the wrong move, I moved it back to your userspace. Subject seems notable at first instance. Perhaps, you wanted to moved it to Wiki/ZZZ. Happy editing! Anupmehra -Let's talk! 22:44, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. You're correct but, amusingly enough, you've actually moved it to User:User:Arb/Bryan Versteeg. I've copied it to the correct place User:Arb/Bryan Versteeg perhaps you would request deletion of the User:User:... version. I've done so for the Wikipedia:ZZZ one. Regards -Arb. (talk) 22:53, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- Aw! sorry. I'll impose this error on my shortcut tendency (it is quite useful but often brings embarrassment). I copied earlier userspace title and pasted it. I guess, you could nominate yourself your userspace for speedy deletion (U1). Am I the author of your userspace? Ha! Anupmehra -Let's talk! 23:00, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- Tried that but it's not my user space; attempt to edit yields: "User account "User:Arb" is not registered." You could maybe db-g7 it ie {{db-author|rationale=DeletionRationale}}. -Arb. (talk) 23:05, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Your username...
Hello there! I'm here on a mission of peace and prosperity, and am noticing that your username violates (used loosely in this case) Wikipedia:Username policy#Misleading usernames under bullet number two as it implies that you are the Arb. I'm here under an AGF and realize that you have had your account since 2006 and don't think you intentionally picked the username for that reason (and am guessing that the committee was formed after you signed up with the user account name). What I am here to ask is if you would be willing to add a disclaimer or userbox to your user page that says that you are in no way connected to the committee to prevent possible future confusion. I'd be happy to help you set it up if you like, and you're certainly grand-something-or-othered as far as I'm concerned. — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Arb", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because It implies you hold advanced permissions. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Bigpoliticsfan (talk) 20:22, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
