WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request

This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants. I may have found your page based on your contributions or your link repair user box on your user page. If you are not a member, please consider including your name on the project page. I recently left a proposed banner idea on the WikiProject Disambiguation talk page and I would appreciate any input you could provide. Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 23:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation fixes

Please don't go around deleting[1] links to disambiguation pages, but fix[2] them. Simply removing them is a harm not an improvement. :-/ — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 19:13, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

tagging articles for WikiProject Computer science

Please don't tag commercial products as part of WikiProject Computer science. Typically only articles on areas of research qualify as "Computer science". --Ideogram 16:04, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I haven't added the WikiProject Computer science tag to any pages. What I did do was try and help the project by adding assessments to articles list here Category:Unassessed-Class Computer science articles via Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer science/Assessment. For a couple of quick examples see edit history to these talk pages [3] and [4]. The tags on Talk:JScience and Talk:Javolution where added by User:EngineerScotty. That aside I do agree that they don't qualify as "Computer science" and set them as low importance, but I didn't want to remove a tag that some else may have added in good faith. -- Ryan Roos 19:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:32, 18 November 2013 (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.
