Hi Sebastian: just letting you know not to worry about the harsh feedback you received on the admin's noticeboard. I'm not upset about the situation either; I know you were acting for the good of Wikipedia, at that only. —Mets501 (talk) 00:28, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! This came just in time for me before I'm taking a little break. And it gives me a good template I can use tomorrow, in my first mediation. I left a message on User talk:MrDarcy about what I learned from it; please let me know what you think. — Sebastian 00:40, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help Desk

Hello, Sebastian! I joined WP:UPH nine days ago, and I have the help desk on my watchlist. So I was wondering if I could take your notice off, since I am around to help. Thanks and happy editing! —sd31415 (sign here) 13:02, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Actually, I'll do it right now, since you asked so nicely. Would you be able to help me with my question there? — Sebastian 17:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll give it my best shot. Fire away at the help desk. —sd31415 (sign here) 17:10, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

==Hi Sebastian==

I can't email until tomorrow. Until then, read my essays. They're located in my sandbox, and on my user page. This will explain a lot. :) Nina Odell 01:17, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Information request: Beer

Hello Sebastian,

I'm a University of Waterloo student, and my assignment is to track down the writers and several other facts from articles on "Beer", in different encyclopedias. I realize that everyone wrote this, but the form I have asks for a single author, so I decided on the person that started the article. I guess the only two facts I can't get from the article are your name (unless SebastianHelm is not a nickname... please excuse me if that is the case), and whether you are an expert on the topic.

I know this is an odd request, but you'll probably be getting it a lot... it might be a good idea to leave this post and your reply up for a few months at least. You see, because of extenuating circumstances, I was given the term's assignments early, but you're going to have at least a thousand other Waterloo students looking for the same information in a month or so. If all the information's there though, they likely won't bug you, we're generally a decent sort.

Thank you for your time,

RE: Nonviolent Communication

Hello - got your message on my talk page. While I'd love to help, I unfortunately have zero experience with the Nonviolent Communication process. My edit(s) to the article were strictly basic cleanup - spam removal, in fact. Sorry! --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 00:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

reply to your post

Dear Sebastian , First of all apologies for damaging your messages in two places.It was obviously not intentional..It wasn't done with any hidden intentions to cover up my self or defame your self..It was just a silly typing mistake made by me.. And About my remarks..I was addressing to the points AND I wasn't certainly missing them.I have explained the basis behind my edits and you have seen it as POV..I have explained how did the article look like before,and you haven't even touch that topic..I asked you to look at the talk pages,but I don't even see your comments there !!.Since we seemed to have a problem with coherent communication ,allow me to clarify this,further, to you.

Contents of the warning	Why I think this is wrong
You have made an edit that could be regarded as defamatory.	Article from the beginning was a hugely POV with twisted info..Based solely on extremely PRO LTTE tamil net.SO the article it self can be regarded as defamatory..
Please do not restore this material to the article or its talk page	All I said was "Bishop is a strong LTTE supporter" ,A known fact to every Sri Lankan.. anyone dispute this should come with at least one incident ,where "He has accused the LTTE"..IF he has not condemn the LTTE even a single time.I don' think he is credible enough to make statements regarding "Humanity"..
Please do not use misleading edit summaries to disguise inappropriate content such as spam, personal attacks	I wasn't coherent with my edit summaries.Accepted that..BUT I did not indulge in spamming or Personal Attacks..

And for the requests you made at your last post; My replies are in bold.

You said ;

Please therefore refrain for the next two weeks from any

1reversions of opposing POV

I am not really getting this one..SO anyone can create article with their own POV and I should keep an blind eye for it ?? By Looking at the way STF article is going on, where you find a lot of POV tirades,borne purely due the "hate" that user has with anything "Sri Lankan", I can hardly understand your above suggestion. Its like asking me not to help a girl when someone trying to rape her !!

you said ;

2insertions of information about living people that is not from verifiable sources;

Accepted..Actually first I thought there is no need to give citations to prove the "obvious" ,which even Bishop him self doesn't deny..But since its quite clear to me that even if it is "OBVIOUS" one should still prove it, and I would more than happy to give proofs from verified sources !

You said;

3misleading edit summaries.

I didn't mean to mislead..That wasn't what I intended..I should have been more comprehensive with it and I fully admit that..I assure you ,this will not happen from me again.. Finally ,I always work with good will..And My edits had helped to make articles look more neutral and stop LTTE propaganda.. --Iwazaki 03:41, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When I first joined wiki, I wanted to make articles about "japan" and others..BUT after seeing the systematic rape of our country in wikipedia, I changed my mind..first, As a Sri Lankan its my duty to keep the good name of my country.Rest comes next..Also, I don't think its even appropriate to do edits related to my "Major" ,as it might give a clue or two about my self,thus enabling the "terrorists" to hunt me..Well, this may sound bit amazing for you.But revealing my self would be the last thing I do.--Iwazaki 03:57, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
