Like a Virgin
Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Cheers! --maveric149
Per your comment on my talk page:
That type of give and take is common around here. You seem to have handled it well but if you get into an edit war in the future then you might want to indicate so on Wikipedia:Edit wars in progress. --mav
Virg, I just want to tell you that some people think you're this really bad vandal named Adam that keeps comming back on this site. I don't think it's true, but there have been some really weird coincidences on the site. If you are Adam and you just want to change, tell me. If you're not Adam, tell me that too. Here's my userpage LittleDan and my talk page is here.
Virg, re the above, just to let you know it does not matter to me if you are Adam once you do not act in his manner. Adam and his creations have been provocative, meddlesome and gone out of their way to provoke reactions and that have invariably led to a ban. The irony is that Adam is a talented user with clear knowledge who could very easily be an appreciated member of the community. Where you are Adam is irrelevant if you act constructively and work with people and don't provoke the endless rows and edit wars as practiced by Adam/Bridget/Vera Cruz/Lir/Susan Mason/Dietary Fiber, etc. Once that is avoided, there should be no problem. So please whoever you are, simply be constructive. Slán. ÉÍREman 00:46 Apr 28, 2003 (UTC)
Hello. I think it is much better to write
- In jurisprudence, X is a defence via which blah blah blah...
than to write
- X (a term in jurisprudence) refers to defence via which blah blah blah...
Generally it is better to write about the thing the term refers to than about the term (an exception would be if you want to say "nigger is an abusive term" or "The word partition is used to refer to any of six different things..."). The former syntax is also more straightforward. Michael Hardy 00:03, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Hi. I turned manslaughter back into its own article. While you were right to make it a redirect based on the scant information that was there at the time, it is a concept that stands on its own apart from murder (just as theft and larceny are similar, but legally distinct concepts).

Hi. I could not help noticing your many good contributions of articles on legal topics. Please consider joining Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Law - we're planning a major overhaul of articles relating to the common law. Cheers! -- BD2412 talk July 5, 2005 04:44 (UTC)

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.
