speculation

edit

In your comment on The Amazing Race 15, where you reintroduced completely unverified and utterly trivial material, you asked where "speculation" came from--but really, the question is, how do you verify a statement that begins like this, "They grew even more disappointed..." The article already lacks reliable sources, and the psychological insight necessary to make such a claim requires a lot more than some TV watching. Is it your wish to turn Wikipedia into TV Guide or some fansite? It seems there's a couple of editors who have no higher aspirations, and who agree that gossip and chit-chat have encyclopedic value. That's a pity; I wish you all would read WP:V and WP:RS. Drmies (talk) 00:43, 3 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

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.
