Not

Please review what Wikipedia is NOT. It is NOT a place to discuss conspiracy theories, and wikipedia talk pages are NOT forums for idle chat about a subject. ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 11:55, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Drybones

Back in February, you contributed a large amount of material to R. v. Drybones. This is good, except that you said that his lawyers argued that "since (Drybones) did understand English, he did understand the nature of the proceedings, rendering his guilty plea invalid and subject to withdrawal".

Since he did understand English?

You mean "did not understand English", surely?

I've changed this; please let me know if I was in error. DS (talk) 19:42, 31 December 2007 (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.
