Hi

Nice name. I just noticed you at WP:DEP and thought I should say hi so as to avoid confusion. I made my account a lot later than you but I didn't realise anyone had a name so similar to mine. It's no problem but I'm just making sure you know so that if someone confuses us we can sort it out easily and without a lot of additional confusion. Also I do a lot of RC Patrol so I made some doppelgangers (User:James085,User:James087,User:James068) so at least they won't cause further confusion. Anyway, see you round, have fun editing.

A.F.C. Hayes

I have noticed your recent rename of the above to "Association Football Club Hayes" - this seems a strange move, as all occurences of those words, whether at the start of a name or at the end of a name in English football clubs are abbreviated to A.F.C. - in fact The Football Association even alphabetises those that start with A.F.C. between AD and AG when listing clubs. There is an ongoing discussion at Wikiproject football about whether the A.F.C. or simple F.C. should have the full stops, but I've seen no other occurence of the letters being expanded to the full words. While it may be the official name, in my opinion it breaches WP:COMMON. - fchd (talk) 07:56, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I echo Richard's sentiments - I have just moved back the article to A.F.C. Hayes as it is standard practise to abbreviate the F.C./A.F.C. part of a club's title. Cheers, пﮟოьεԻ 57 19:16, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia Ambassador Program in Houston

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian from Houston. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors from the Houston area, to help with Wikipedia assignments at Texas Southern University. Classes at TSU will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester, and the role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone in Houston who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page. Thanks!--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:08, 1 December 2010 (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.
