Welcome, S Scott! I noticed that you placed a vote on Talk:Shiloh_Shepherd_Dog#Straw_Poll_-_History_Section. Participation in the community is encouraged, of course, but your status as a brand new user means that your vote might not be counted. Please understand that this is a common practice on Wikipedia, and that it is necessary to prevent deliberate misuse of our voting systems. Straw polls on Wikipedia are meant to measure community consensus, and should not necessarily be taken as literal one-member one-vote voting. However, please do make further contributions to Wikipedia, and express your opinion on policy matters.

For about a week before I created a Wiki account, I followed discussions on the Shiloh Shepherd article, caught up on the archives, exchanged numerous e-mails with ISSDC editors, and then opened an account and began participating in the discussion. Since there was a poll going on at the time, I can see how it would have appeared that I might be zipping in and out just to vote. Regards, S Scott 18:05, 6 February 2006 (UTC)S Scott

[edit] Re: Confirmation

I'm not sure why you copied that to my talk page. Did you have a question about it? .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 15:27, 12 February 2006 (UTC)


Breed History - bye

I'm afraid that I'm no longer going to be able to condense everyone's suggestions and continue assisting in developing a history for the article. To everyone that has sent in suggestions or corrections since I posted these drafts, I apologize; please still make the changes, especially those that fixed my errors. I know many of you preferred using private email and other avenues for discussion because of the tense environment here, but it leaves me little room to defend myself since I agreed to keep those private. I have recently been accused of taking ownership of the article, plotting in private forums and intentionally causing problems; since I don't want to cause any further issues, I will be removing myself from the situation. I really enjoyed working with you and I couldn't tell you how impressed I am with the many of you who took the time to learn about things here and help work on the article despite the problems. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 15:09, 10 February 2006 (UTC [[1]]
"....For the record, I did not resign anything, simply stated that I would no longer being taking suggestions via email for the proposal since I've been accused of taking ownership of the article and stirring up trouble...." Jareth.:. babelfish 23:54, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[2]]
I'm sorry if I worded that poorly then and in any case, mediation is effectively suspended while the case is at RfAR. I meant to say that I would no longer be proposing things myself, editors will need to state their own proposals on the talk page from now on. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 17:31, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
