Jaan Kross

Your work on the Jaan Kross article is very commendable. You seem to off on a strong start toward making it great encyclopedia entry.

I removed a section of what appeared to be commentary about the some of the article's sources, from the article itself, and moved it to the talk page. I recommend that as you correct the information in the article, you summarize the reason for doing so in the edit summary box, and then use the talk page to discuss your reason in more detail, especially if it is likely to be contentious. These links may be helpful:

• WP:TONE
• WP:TALK

I hope this is somewhat helpful. My best, MrX 12:27, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I wanted to say that your contributions to the article on Karl Ristikivi are very impressive. I'll see if I can find the time to edit your contribution so that it fit better with the general style used in Wikipedia. and then I'll see if I can replicate your work at the Estonian version, et:Karl Ristikivi. -- Ohpuu (talk) 10:46, 25 September 2012 (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.
