Your recent edits

edit

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 04:50, 10 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle

edit

Dear Hinzel, When you make a bold move such as renaming a page, and another editor reverts the bold move, it is not appropriate to repeat the bold move a second time (as you did with Albert II, Prince of Thurn and Taxis and Ernst August V, Prince of Hanover). Even if you have excellent reasons for your move, this should be taken to discussion. If another editor reverts you, it's clearly controversial and needs to be discussed - before being moved.

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:56, 23 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
