For all the work you selflessly do for Wikimedia Australia, the GLAM movement in our country, the programming work you do related to supporting this work, the personal money you put into supporting this, your support at RecentChangesCamp, etc. I really appreciate the fantastic work you do and I apologise for my own curve balls and making it more difficult. Seriously, you do fantastic work and don't get the appreciation you so richly deserve.

Dear John Vandenberg,
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, 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:
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 name HERE 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.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 07:30, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi John. Back in November, you got either an AfD or PROD notification, and it was during one of the template testing project's experiments. If you could go here and leave us some feedback about what you think about the new versions of the templates we tested (there are links to the templates), that would be very useful.

Hello John! This is pretty shocking. What's scary is that it looks like a very large amount of such inventions have been added to royal biographies by that editor, alleged "monograms" that never have been used in the real world. Any advice on what to do about it? SergeWoodzing (talk) 00:39, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for mentioning me, JVDB. I had provided my opinion at User talk:Fry1989; he has (as per usual for him) removed the entire discussion from his talkpage once it became clear he was in the wrong and once again tilting at windmills. In summary: the Russian-language website does not appear to be authoritative to me; it is a website for model shipbuilders, not exactly SME in the area of royal monograms. In addition, the extreme creative licence taken with the colouring, the actual lettering, and the completely-unlikely-to-have-ever-been-used full-colour depiction of the crown renders these images less than useless from an encyclopedic perspective. Assuming that the website is correct with the images they show, the images as hosted by Commons are completely different and factually incorrect. Fry needs to be disabused of the notion that 'close enough for jazz' is good enough for an encyclopedia. → ROUX ₪ 08:12, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi John! Thank you so much for the invitation. I would love to attend but unfortunately cannot as I will be busy with family affairs here and, anyway, most unfortunately, due to a collapsing spine, I am unable to drive as far as Townsville any more. I am not sure I could even make it from here (Cooktown) to Cairns now. However, I sometimes fly to Cairns for medical or other reasons - so, if you have a meeting there sometime it might just be possible for me to join in. I will be away from the 10th of May to the middle of June - but if there is any chance there might be a meeting in Cairns sometime after that do let me know - I would love to come if I can. And, of course, if any of you ever make it as far north as Cooktown, do contact me. We are about 25 km out in the bush but we could certainly get together - I would love to meet up with you. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. I hope your meeting is productive and fun. If any of you write something about the meeting, please do send me a copy. I send you my very best wishes and thanks for the invitation. Cheers, John Hill (talk) 05:22, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
I'm not sure how to ask someone to go look at a problem I'm having. It's such a peculiar situation that I'm hesitant to even discuss everything that gone one.
In any event I'm in tears over this and would really like you to look over my edits and edit summaries and their replies at the project and talk pages Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Agent00f.
I have asked not to be bitten. I have asked that others assume good faith about me. I have asked that things I write not be termed to be the opposite of the truth (but I put it more nicely).
I'm unsure if these problems have affected an article page I have been collaborating on editing which has nothing to do with anyone at the RfC/U. I am also wondering why so many users in one place who happen to disagree with me seem to be using similar sorts of problematic behavior towards me. I'm especially concerned about the number of times different individuals have stated that I have written or done something (always negative) which is the opposite of what I have written or done.
Please provide some kind of assistance.
Thank you,

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Woodstock Times 0907 cover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Hello John, I am writing articles on the early history of the Paralympic Movement in Australia and having problems with newspaper clippings from the late 1950's to 1960's that have no reference due to families who paste the articles in scrap books or photo albums. I am able to get written verification of the facts from the subject's nephew / niece if needed. These two articles that are needed to verify the dedication and support of athletes who went to the first Paralympic Games in Rome. Would you accept a reference displayed on Wikipedia Commons as follows?
Transfer the two articles onto an A4 sheet of paper making reference to who they are about, where they were located, and noting that the information is on record in the library at the head office of the Australian Paralympic Committee. The person wanting verification of the article's location may then make a request to the head office of the Australian Paralympic Committee.
Please give serious consideration to this request as information from the early history is very difficult to obtain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dawn Renshaw (talk • contribs) 00:15, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I notice that on 18 April 2012, you moved the "Secretariat" article to "Secretariat (disambiguation)" and converted the resulting redirect into something different. You seem to be a very experienced editor, so I assume that you decided that the new article that you created should be the WP:PRIMARY topic for "Secretariat". Frankly, I question that judgment. I believe it made more sense for "Secretariat" to be a dab page. Also, the new article currently at "Secretariat" seems to be poorly written and entirely unsourced – and focusing extensively on anarchism, which seems rather strange. I notice that the Talk page for "Secretariat" is still a redirect, which seems incorrect when the corresponding article is not a redirect. And the article at "Secretariat (disambiguation)" does not even refer to the article at "Secretariat". Can you tell me if there was any prior discussion before the move was performed and the new article was created? Can you please comment on the situation? –BarrelProof (talk) 18:20, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

I've created those articles in favor of MACEDONIA and Macedonian sport only.My articles were attacked by some chauvinistic Serbian propagator that hates MACEDONIA.I guess you aren't familiar with the situation over there and by accident you swam in some political waters not being aware of it.Macedonia always existed and it was always there on bigger or smaller territory. Sports teams from that period are created by MACEDONIANS in the Duchy of Macedonian Vardar within the Kingdom.That Kingdom by the way that you call it Yugoslavia as SERVS(Serbs) refer to it was a ruled by Russian Royal family as a colony. Officially non of the Macedonian population ever recognized that illegal government.As you can see in the WW2 that territory was occupied by the German King who ruled the colony called Bulgaria,and again it wasnt recognized by the Macedonian population we were in war against it.So most of the teams were MACEDONIAN patriotic clubs that never recognized non of those illegal Governments.We played in our own league that we called Macedonian Football League ,and we never cared how they refer to it ,examples regional or royal or sub regional, subdivision and so on. As you can notice Macedonian Republic was established on smaller territory back in 1944, and we are independent nation within the Federation of six republics that we simply called federation and you refer to it as Yugoslavia.So we had our own government president prime minister or premier , parliament ministries and local government such as Mayors etc.So our Football league was called Republican Macedonian League -which means the league of our Republic of Macedonia.And in Macedonia we simply called it Macedonian Football League, regardless to what Servs(Serbs and others refer to it).In 1991 Macedonia stepped out of the federation,and the reason was simple we got sick and tired of the Fascist governments of Croatian and Serbian republics that came in to power in the years before 1989-1990.So we didn't liked the idea of war for creating greater Servia(Serbia) nor Greater Croatia.Since 1991 we are out of the federation and we have the same football league that was renamed in Macedonian First League, that we simply call it Macedonian Football league which is the same league from the early beginning back in 1927.So I created this article about the Macedonian all time football champions for Macedonians world wide readers specially for younger generations that are interested in Macedonian football and live in the English speaking countries like Canada USA Australia Great Britain etc.Non of us wants to read about Yugoslavia Servia and rest of that ,because we are Macedonians and we never recognized any of that ever.But unfortunately my articles were attacked and destroyed by Servian nationalism and their propaganda of Greater Servia that caused 4 wars in 1990s and they still have this agenda of greater Servia(Serbia) even in this kind of free sites like Wikipedia.So I ask you to stop supporting them and their propaganda and help me to put back my two articles in the previous stage.Those articles are Graganjski(Macedonian Football club that never recognized the authorities and government of the Puppet state Kingdom of Servia(Serbia) and it was MACEDONIAN patriotic team, and second the List of Macedonian Football Champions which are nothing else then MACEDONIAN.Never Yugoslav(Servian-Serbian and never Vulgarian-Bulgarian).I hope you will understand and THANKS if you do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LindbergJamesMK (talk • contribs) 2012-06-25T20:25:11
Not at all it played in Macedonian League.In that time there was no Serbia, the official name of that country is the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.The kingdom was made of Duchies which were ruled by Dukes.The Duchies had subdivisions(their own leagues) the Duchy of Vardar Macedonia had its own subdivision called Skopje subdivision.The champion of this subdivision league was official champion of Macedonia.All the champions qualified for the Kingdoms division(something like European champions league these days).So do we call German Champions ,German?YES, or do we call it French champions French?YES.Do we call Chelsea a Bavarian team just because it won the Champions league in Bavarian Capital Munich?NO.There was no Serbian league back in 1928 till 1941.First time Serbian league was made in 1946 when Serbia become republic in the federation of YU.First time independent republic of Serbia as a country is made in 2008 after the Montenegro and Kosovo split. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LindbergJamesMK (talk • contribs) 11:32, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

See here. I thought you should know. Besides, putting up a retired message really shouldn't be a way to skip out when one does something wrong. SilverserenC 07:28, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello Sir ! As I see You live "down under" and far away from the Polish city of Wroclaw (German Breslau until 1945) and I happended to see that You have a headline "Serbian propaganda" and may have experience of this kind of national matters. Matters, in wich I'm neutral. I've simply tried to do some improvement (including sources) - but a couple of polish users just do not care about sources. It seems to me like they just have invented or repeted previous inventions during the communistic era in Poland. (It's complicated.)I have no intention of anything else than improving the article and make the history of the city as correct as possible. The present history parts differs very much (indeed) from what my swedish encyclopedias states. Not even a centence of pure fact - as "Breslau wasthe largest city Germany has lost after the world wars" gets accepted. But the primary issue is that nothing is supported by sources or references. (I've tried, but first I was suspected as german and later the best source , a swedish encyclopedia "Nordisk Familjebok" (Nordic Family Book 20+3 volymes 1925-1939) is stated as "unsafe due to the time". And so on. So I wonder if You could eghther help me, and take a look on the article "Wroclaw" - or advice me to another administrator with interest of european history.
