Some cookies to welcome you! :D

Welcome to Wikipedia, Cometotheseawithme! I am Kanonkas and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Kanonkas :  Talk  17:37, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Brian Nestande

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Brian Nestande, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Brian Nestande

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Spelling and Civility

Thanks for your message on my userpage regarding an edit to Raul Grijalva. It was certainly more civil than your edit summary (in which you say "Uhhhh...folks the Obama transition has just started, this POORLY written article makes it sound as though it is ended and done. PLEASE LEARN HOW TO WRITE.)" (No need to SHOUT, there, buddy.)

Speaking of edit summaries, I noticed that another of yours says "fixed SPELLING and CAPITILIZATION errors, PLEASE for the love of God watch this while you write stuff." The correct spelling is "capitalization," and having a misspelling in a complaint about misspellings is pretty funny. You should "watch this while you write stuff," you know? :)

While you're at it, you might consider watching the tone of your edit summaries--in part so that other editors will reciprocate and cut you some slack when you make minor errors. (And in part just to be a decent person.)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Cometotheseawithme! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 222 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Patrick Johnston (American politician) - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Carol Liu - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 07:46, 2 January 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.
