Wikipedia talk:Association of Members' Advocates/Teams/Arbitration Team

Ok, we're 6, including our coordinator! Wow! Then, I ask you guys how will we manage requests:

with an own system similar to Category:AMA Requests for Assistance, independent from that and with our own AMAT specific alert?
using the current system but encouraging people to state on their request that they prefer someone from a team?
or whatelse?

And also (as I seem to be de facto chief of this team):

will we have a chief? The idea is to have someone that keep the page and requests organized; someone "in charge". If yes, anyone except me, please.
If someone likes the idea of nicknaming this team as the famous A-Team? (just kidding, maybe a parody name like "The Arb-Team").

Good job!

I just wanted to congradulated everyone here on the good job in establishing the first AMA team! I think you all deserve a good pat on the back. I hope that you are all able to provide some fruitfull advice and propers in your advocacy skills as a team. Good luck with all your future endeavours. --CyclePat 07:00, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! --Neigel von Teighen 11:36, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Publicity

FYI there is an interest to learn more about the Arbcom AMAT which is expressed at Request for arbitration. Could we discuss a proposal? --CyclePat 13:07, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok! By the way, I like the idea and maybe our team cooperation with ArbCom should be the first step to a general AMA-ArbCom co-op, don't you think? --Neigel von Teighen 13:47, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Has the Arb Team participated in an arbitration yet? IMHO, the best way to get good publicity would be to point to your results to date. Thanks, TheronJ 14:00, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm personally engaged on arbitration cases, but the team is not receiving any request just because no one is requesting our help! (and I put a note on the requests system to prefer us...). This is not working and I recognize it... --Neigel von Teighen 13:57, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear members, attention please!

OK, we're not doing things well here and there's plenty to do here, my friends. We don't have any request, we don't managed a single case and we don't exist for the vast WP universe. For achieving our noble goal of helping people (users and also advocates) during arbitrations, we need to build team-spirit. For this, please let us discuss what strategies and methods we have when facing an arbitartion case and how to improve them. The idea is to see what we do so we can begin to think in a serious AMA advocates training program and hopefully give ArbCom a big and happy surprise. Please, cooperation is needed. --Neigel von Teighen | _{help with arbs?} 13:17, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Read your note

Read your note to Steve. I don't need help. I am doing just fine. I thought you knew that as I posted that on the AMA talk page (or whatever it is) where Steve again told me I was whining and everything was my own fault and no wonder I was having a miserable time on Wikipedia. You posted there too, so I assumed you read the post.

I explained there that I have had no problems on Wikipedia since the sockpuppet ring was shut down. Not only that I have gained many friends who now guard my pages from vandalism, and prevented Jefferson Anderson (now using anonymous proxies) from vandalising me and keep me informed. I am being protected now. I have received several Barnstars in the last few months and have helped several articles reach Feature Article status and am working on several more.

I just want to know what is being "investigated", why he chose to put the case "under investigation" and then did nothing, why he refuses to communicate with me, when will the investigation end, and will I ever be given any feedback from AMA as so far I have received none, except his comments about me whining on the talk page. AMA was a bad experience, as one Advocate keep spreading my name around Wikipedia asking about me, and continued to do so after you and I each told him it was doing me more harm. Then he withdrew without telling me nor giving me any feedback. Steve put my case "under investigation" while the Arbitration was still going on, and has done nothing as far as I can tell. I feel my personal laundry has been aired in public by an incompetent AMA.

I guess if AMA is deleted then at least my case "under investigation" will go away. That is one way of getting rid of a horrible experience.

What makes you thing I still need help?
