Letterkenny
editHi Cieran. I note that you have removed the "Crime" section of the Letterkenny article. A few times. And other users keep restoring. This is now approaching 3RR. You really should add a justification for the blanking in the "Edit Summary". Unexplained deletion of large sections of content might be considered by some users as "vandalism". If your justification for removing this text is (as I expect) because you think it is imbalanced or unduely strong, then - instead of just deleting it - consider rewording or reformatting it to provide balance.

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Sharon Foley, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

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.
