Hello. I came across your viewpoint re. the first IKEA in Canada having been in Richmond, BC. Others wrote that the first was actually in Dartmouth, NS. They were correct. Very recent confirmation of this is found in the Halifax Chronicle Herald, Saturday, January 23, 2016 pp B1 and B2. IKEA is returning to Dartmouth (now a community of the Halifax Regional Municipality) in 2017. Honour647 ( talk) 23:16, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
I've left a message at Requests for Mediation. The second party to that pending case has filed a lengthy WP:ANI complaint. I would think that can be taken as meaning that they decline to take part in mediation, but I don't know. I also think that this is a conduct dispute, because either the second party's very long complaint is correct, in which case the first party is guilty of various sorts of conduct issues, or the second party's complaint is mostly unfounded, in which case their own conduct is a conduct issue. Just my opinion. Robert McClenon ( talk) 18:27, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
Re: [1] Here you changed the signature of my statement so that it looks like it was written by Kudzu1. Why did you do that? I made that statement ref. diff. Erlbaeko ( talk) 22:09, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Willie Nelson may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s and 1 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

By the way, who are you, and what gives you the authority to speak on Wikipedia 'policies'? Who is in control of Wikipedia 'policies'? HAND T A Francis ( talk) 18:54, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi Sunray, I see you have raised some of the same issues I have with the 2013 Mayflower oil spill page. Can I get your support on the Talk page for suggested changes, to clarify the important distinctions between "Oil" and Dilbit? I'd appreciate it! Thanks :) -- Bill Huston (talk) 00:18, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for your work. I think we can close the mediation now. - Mnnlaxer | talk | stalk 23:09, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi Sunray,
I'm reaching out to still-active editors who have contributed to the Downtown Eastside article, and you're one of the very few people on that list. I'd like to get this article through to Featured Article status, and would like to get input from other editors. There has been very little discussion on this article since I started working on it. I've requested assessment for A-class status at Wikproject Vancouver and Wikiproject Canada. Any feedback, thoughts, or advice you might have would be very welcome. Cheers, Clayoquot ( talk | contribs) 05:41, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
I am working on a PSA regarding our future without renewable energy for my class and would like permission to use your photograph (EPAoilspillsubdivision2.JPG).

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Closure: A Story of Everything until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. DGG ( talk ) 04:04, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for the work you did in 2011 extending the Wiki Stewardship page. I am not a Wiki expert but believe that you added a considerable amount of material. I am trying to derive the source of a key line, which is ‘…an ethic that embodies the responsible planning and management of resources…’. This has been copied - thanks to you - a myriad number of times. It'd be great to know where it came from. Thanks in advance if you can help! 85.133.81.32 ( talk) 08:44, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi Sunray. In 2009 you successfully mediated an editing dispute that I participated in (thank you). The result was this sentence in the article Rick Warren:
Two weeks before the 2008 U.S. general election, Warren issued a statement to his congregation endorsing California Proposition 8, which would amend the California Constitution to say "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California," thereby eliminating the right of same-sex couples to marry.
The inclusion of the final ten words in that sentence was at the heart of the dispute; my recollection is that editors who fought their inclusion were concerned less with serving the reader's understanding of the subject than with casting the subject in a positive light.
Occasionally I peek at the article to see whether our hard-won compromise has survived; today I discovered that it has not. A couple of years ago, an unsigned user deleted those ten words with the following explanation: "(→Political and social views: Removed "right to marry" phrase in paragraph on Prop 8)" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Rick_Warren&oldid=671347987)
I don't have much experience with un-doing the work of other editors, and no experience with doing so when another editor has (presumably inadvertently) overruled the result of a mediation. I would like to restore the sentence to the version that resulted from the mediation, but I dearly wish to avoid another protracted negotiation. So I thought I'd seek your guidance. Shall I simply click "undo" next to that edit? How can I phrase a friendly explanation that I'm restoring the sentence to a version that resulted from a mediation? Would it be helpful for me to provide a link to an archive of the mediation? And if so, where can I find that archive?
Thank you!
Benccc ( talk) 19:16, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Sunray, I went ahead and edited the article to restore the portion that had been deleted, and I left a brief explanation. If you know how to find/view the mediation for the Rick Warren article for which you were the mediator, please let me know. Thanks. Benccc ( talk) 22:34, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Nechako Region, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Prince George ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi there. I've opened a discussion on Wikipedia's dispute resolution processes at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(idea_lab)#Wikipedia_dispute_resolution_for_complex_disputes. As you've previously been involved in dispute resolution on Wikipedia, I'd appreciate your thoughts there, if you have time. As I am sending this to quite a few people, the text is somewhat impersonal :) Steven Crossin 17:35, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi User:Sunray. I'm taking a look at the references for Consensus decision-making and notice that you added a reference to Earlham College's consensus process, adapted from Quaker practice, some years ago. Sadly, that link is broken now, and I can't find the source on Wayback or anywhere else. Should I simply delete the reference? Best, Douginamug ( talk) 23:15, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Dr.Swag Lord, Ph.d. I noticed that you recently removed content from Rachel Maddow without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Request reason:
I've apparently been blocked for using Apple Private Relay. According to C.Fred, nothing shows in my block log. As I have done nothing wrong, I understand I can request an exemption (see my post immediately above). I am hereby making said request.
Decline reason:
