Senate Image

Hi Eweisser. I'm sorry -- I'm completely embarrassed. I thought that was a current map of the US Senate, which of course would make it completely in error! I didn't read the full details. I'm sorry! I've removed the text I added to the description and will replace the image later when I have a chance. --Quasipalm 21:08, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Welcome, too

Hey, I saw you on the new user log, and I noticed you making redirects for some of the congress articles. Just to let you know, there is a big list of red links at Wikipedia:Most_wanted_articles#US_Congresses, many of which need redirecting because of the numbers written rather than spelled out. Also, see the red links of sessions that still need articles at List of United States Congresses. There also seem to be a few articles related to Congress missing, so here's just a few: joint session of Congress, discharge motion, Congressional hearing, and committee chairperson. Anyway, just some suggestions. Keep up the good work, and rest assured you are appreciated. Don't hesitate to ask me any quetions you might have about Wikipedia on my talk page. --Dmcdevit 07:33, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• It looks like that project never really got off the ground. If you want to revive it, I would make an announcement on the Village Pump and other places like that, as well as notifying those old members. But really, you could do fine on your own. I find WikiProjects are useful for three things. First, they are good ways for related editors to discuss and reach consensus on topic-specific items, like layout, etc. Second, it's a great place to post things like a to-do list, open tasks, etc., where interested editors who don't know what to do can get ideas (or the converse: it's a place for interested editors to find out where they can help). Finally, it's a good place to network with other editors and discuss the topic. Right now it seems you're only lacking the last, as there is already both a list of tasks (which could do with updating) and a defined template and naming convention. And by the way, there are no distinctions made with regards to editing on Wikipedia. You don't need to be worried about the "official" participants, feel free to do what you think is right. I'm not sure I really answered your question, so don't be shy about if I didn't, but I hope that helps! --Dmcdevit 05:08, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Congresses

Hiya. First, let me say thank you for doing some of the Congresses by Session. I have been wishing for a long time that someone would start that up again... I can't really do it. My mind just starts to fizzle when I try to compile a list like that. Second, let me make a suggestion... the Alphabetical lists of Senators get really confusing. No one really has a sense of what states elected who. So, I would suggest doing it like the Ninety-ninth United States Congress format, where the Representatives and Senators are grouped by states... It's more comprehensible, I think. I can help you with that, if you want. And I can also help on the whole congress by session thing in general, I just could never do that on my own, since the mind frizzling thing :P. YourNickname 17:36, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hello

Whoops! I was working on something, but I didn't mean to link my user page to the list of Congresses. I’m done and it shouldn’t be linked anymore. Standardization would be a good idea. I’ve been basing my pages on the Fifty-seventh United States Congress. One thing I’ve been meaning to do is get in touch with User:JeLuF because his pages seem to use some sort of computer program for compiling the lists of members. Also, all the links at Most Wanted for congresses use the wrong format for the names. I started a 43rd United States Congress and then had to have an admin move it so that other things linked to it. Someone did the same thing for 64th United States Congress. Can we do anything about this? I won’t be available next week, but when I come back I’ll do some more work on this. I'm glad to learn I'm not the only one who likes funny names :) Kkatastrophe 8 July 2005 06:46 (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.
