Raj Bhakta refs

Thank you for cleaning the ref tags up in that article. I wanted to add the refs to support the comments, but I didn't have the time to get the pages looked up for title, etc. —C.Fred (talk) 02:32, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi!

I had no idea you were here. Phr (talk) 22:09, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

BSA Controversies

Hi, I noticed that you have been trying to insert a link to the BSA Controversies article in the Boy Scout article. I figured that you may not be aware that this has been tried before, and that there are very good reasons to not do this at Talk:Boy_Scout#.22Controversies.22. In summary, however, the Boy Scout article is about the internationallly recognised movement and its members, and whatever controversies there are with a specific national organisation should not be related to a movement of which that national organisation is only a small part of.

Reply taken back to the Boy Scout article, where it belongs, not here. GMcGath 12:05, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry if you feel it inappropriate to take this to you directly, but I had assumed that you were unaware of the discussion at Talk:Boy Scout article since you simply repeated edits which had been reverted for the reasons stated in those discussions. Horus Kol 09:17, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

BSA is just a small part of the world scouting movement and BSA plays a large part in United States society, maybe you can put in it in that article? --Egel _Reaction? 10:29, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I did, the Boy Scout Police didn't like that either. :) GMcGath 23:50, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ergo (newspaper)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

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.
