Regarding Kurdistan-related categories

Hi! I see you're a new editor, so a little friendly advice: don't attack editors, even if you disagree with their viewpoints. Feel free to criticize their argument, but try and stay within the bounds of Wikipedia:Civility. I know this particular policy was a lot of help to me, especially as a new editor, in knowing how to phrase my arguments. --Scimitar 21:50, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I didn't attack anyone, so your comments are out of place and rather rude and patronising. I suggest you spend your time doing something more constructive, like learning to spell. Hoylake 21:51, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

"Please don't insult our intelligence. We know as well as you do that you have had anti-Kurd propaganda drummed into your head all your life"- That was you. So rather than being intentionally obtuse, please review the handy link I gave you and modify your behaviour.--Scimitar 15:31, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Here's the link to my first example, as well as a second example that both violate Wikipedia:Civility. [1], [2]--Scimitar 15:52, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

That was in response to an editor who had nominated a category for the third time. I have two tips for you. Firstly resign as an administrator because you are unfit for the task, as your talk page shows. Secondly concentrate on dealing with the ideologically biased editors who plague Wikipedia. Hoylake 19:39, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Regardless of who you are responding to, Wikipedia:Civility still applies. Please remember that in future. --Scimitar ^parley 19:42, 24 January 2007 (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.
