Premature update on Aksel Lund Svindal

You do realize that the GS race is not over yet, right? There is a theoretical possibility that someone who finished outside the top 30 in run 1 might reach the podium or win. Very unlikely, but it is possible. Please do not update sports articles until the results are final. Thanks. --Seattle Skier (talk) 21:59, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia rules clearly state that it's not facts, but sources that matters. There were plenty of sources saying he got bronze, and therefor it is eligible for Wikipedia. Please read the rules. GoogleMe (talk) 00:56, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Please don't tell me to read the rules, especially when you appear to be misinterpreting them. The Wikipedia community has placed its trust in me long ago as an admin based on the fact that I do understand the rules (and also when to ignore them). Your statement above is certainly not the proper way to go about editing. What matters is that the information in the encyclopedia is correct and verifiably so--sources can be wrong, or even prematurely state that he won bronze, but that does not mean that misinformation or premature info needs to be typed into the encyclopedia, just because some source somewhere says so. I'm not sure why you're getting defensive about this, there is no need to since it's not a very big deal. I even chose not to revert your edits at that time, hoping that the final results would remain unchanged, as they did. --Seattle Skier (talk) 02:47, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

July 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article 2011 Norway attacks, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. hydrox (talk) 14:09, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

There were no articles to reference, as it was mentioned in "newsflashes" on TV and websites (just front page updates without any articles). In addition to that the number changes, and it's not really hard to find by visiting a Norwegian news site. There are easily available sources to verify the number, so for current situation it doesn't really require a source. The final death toll will be higher, so the future source for WP doesn't exist - and that is the only source that's really important. GoogleMe (talk) 14:26, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called GoogleMe. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name GoogleMe~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

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.
