Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to Companion (Doctor Who), you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. Maccy69 (talk) 08:06, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback. I'm fairly new to contributing to Wikipedia, so I'm still coming to grips with the guidelines. I did look at the linking guidelines, and under Wikipedia:Linking#Link_density it said that each row in a table is an exception to "overlinking". Did I misinterpret this? Also, part of the change which was reverted was adding new links, and fixing incorrect links which were using hyphen-minus instead of en dash. --Soderick (talk) 10:18, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Since it's been a while, I have re-instated my previous edit, since I believe it to be following the guidelines at Wikipedia:Linking#Link_density. I'm happy to discuss further, if you disagree. --Soderick (talk) 10:14, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:33, 14 March 2011 (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.
