Proposed deletion of Hartmut Ostrowski

The article Hartmut Ostrowski has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Epbr123 (talk) 21:32, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Senate of Berlin for deletion

A discussion has begun about whether the article Senate of Berlin, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Senate of Berlin until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. WuhWuzDat 13:47, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome :-)It's a much needed topic. I have only barely glanced at the other 2 articles you created, the businessmen - if I have time and can find sources, I'll improve those, too. I was thinking of dropping you a note anyway. Berlin is not very well served by en.wikipedia; we can certainly use a new fanatic in that area, so if you intend to stick around after this off-putting beginning, you're very welcome. But may I suggest you always make a practice of including at least 2 references before you save a new article? It doesn't matter if they are not in English - just put {{de icon}}, or whatever language, at the end. They also don't have to be online. But some new page patrollers are very quick to assume that something foreign is a hoax or not notable; once they see a couple of references they know it's ok. And we now have a special rule that new articles about living people must have references from the start, as you found out. Also, I found sooooo many mentions of the Berlin Senate on en.wikipedia. When you create a new article, do a search and find articles that mention teh person or thing, and make wiki-links. If an article has a lot of articles linking to it, that makes a lot of difference for many people in considering whether it should be deleted. The sad thing is that in doing that, I found so many articles badly translated from German and now have a massive job re-translating U8 (Berlin U-Bahn). Argh. Anyway, if you have any references to add to the Berlin Senate article, particularly on that post-reunification constitutional change from max. 16 members to 8, please add them. I haven't yet found that on the Berlin.de site - if it's stated somewhere there, great, but better yet if it's in a book or a newspaper article. . . . And what's your next article going to be?

I will try to follow your advice, thanks. Most probably I will do something on the districts. And there is an election coming up next year ;-) --11011 (talk) 17:09, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
