  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Carlos Slim, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(biographies)#Opening_paragraph states that only the nationality at time of notability is used not etnicity.--Morenooso (talk) 14:28, 16 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Great! Many thanks for the notification. JAR (talk) 14:30, 16 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

I just read that. Although this is of course a suggestion it is not the rule as the paragraph itself stipulates . "in the normal case this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen or national, or was a citizen when the person became notable." If you properly read the biography of Carlos Slim on his original website you will see that his 'Lebanese descent' is significant to say the least. In that case this is not a 'normal pedigree' in other words straightforwardly Mexican by descent. His wife is Lebanese, his father is Lebanese, his mother is Lebanese and both her parents are Lebanese immigrants and so on and so forth. He was today according to the local Press visiting 'his hometown in southern Lebanon' - a town called Jezzine (ref: http://www.zawya.com/Story.cfm/sidDS160310_dsart6%284%29/Tycoon%20Carlos%20Slim%20given%20honorary%20welcome%20in%20his%20hometown%20of%20Jezzine/). It would be - I think - unfair if not misleading to delete that big chunk of his pedigree. JAR (talk) 14:39, 16 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

An additional argument from the manual in favor of my point is the following: "Ethnicity should generally not be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability." It is very relevant for all the references cited in his wikipage not to mention his own biography on his official website! JAR (talk) 14:44, 16 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

London Wikimedia Fundraiser

edit

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 23:11, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Katharine Park

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Katharine Park. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 18 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

There are more than one "reliable source" on the page - read well. JAR (talk) 22:52, 5 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. In Lebanon, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page The Kite (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

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.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:55, 20 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
