Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.NPVIC
editI will just reply here since I guess this is a better place for it. Please note that you are not supposed to come up with reasons to abolish the electoral college yourself :-) So not only do you need a reference for what the framers were thinking, you also need a reference where this is used specifically as an argument against keeping the electoral college.

- Again, please refrain from thinking up motivations yourself. The three arguments you added will have to be referenced or deleted. Please take care of this. KarlFrei (talk) 18:00, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Seven virtues may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

In a recent edit to the page Franz Kafka, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. RexxS (talk) 23:41, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
- I should also mention that Wikipedia has guidance on capitalisation at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Capital letters that you should check before altering capitalisation in articles to meet your taste. You will find the section Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Capital letters #Compass points particularly useful, as well as considering the distinction between abstract nouns (love, justice, etc.) which are not capitalised and proper nouns (England, Churchill, etc.) which are. --RexxS (talk) 23:51, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for May 20
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Seven virtues, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Restraint (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. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, Treplag. Be careful about marking edits as minor. This edit that you made to the Avatar (2009 film) article is not a minor edit; read WP:Minor edit for why it's not. Also, considering the use of the words "Cameron's 1997 film Titanic," and that such attribution ([so and so's film]) generally is not given to the screenwriter, producer or anyone else other than the director, it can be argued that the second paragraph already makes it clear that Cameron directed that film. Flyer22 (talk) 17:07, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
- Hello, Flyer22. I will read the guidelines pertaining to minor edits. As to the edit itself, I confess that I didn't read the second paragraph, since I was only looking for information about box office results. If I had read it, I wouldn't have made the edit. (That said, it is not unusual for a film to be identified with a producer, especially if the producer is better known than the director.)

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.
