Our wikipedians may be registered by language, country, hobby ... and alma mater. I had almost left the idea of finding a czech specialist when I stumbled upon that list (lost it since).--DLL 08:58, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

About Idar Harry Vollvik

Dear Coat of Arms,

I think the article Idar Harry Vollvik is a spoof. I am only editing for two days, so I don't know what should we do with spoof articles? Can you tell me the procedure?

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dogaroon (talk • contribs)

Waffen-SS

Regarding your edit summary "...by the way Orangemarlin, this is obviously not OR, the article itself cites 20 different sources including books and websites." Websites don't count as original sources, so do not have much credibility. Specific statements lack any references, and may or may not be a digestion of primary sources, but it is impossible to tell since statements or sections are not attributed to specific sources. If you review WP:CITE, you will note that a verifiable reference is required for anything that is challenged or likely to be challenged. Full citations should be used, and inline citations are preferred. Primary sources far outweigh secondary ones (and websites are unverified secondary sources). Therefore, in lieu of references that support statements in the article, it is, by definition original research. Orangemarlin 00:39, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

File source problem with File:South Atlantic Medal.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:South Atlantic Medal.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:04, 14 December 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 03:04, 14 December 2009 (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.
