Hello and welcome

Hello - you seem to be very prolific with your edits! I haven't been around long myself - a couple of things which may be useful:

• Put spaces at the beginning of sentences
• Use the 'Show preview' button, so that you can achieve more in fewer edits that are then easier to review
• Spend a little time reviewing the manual of style as a guide in what to write, for example Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms

Ivybridge Community College

Hi I've been looking at older revision of the article and I think that it was you who put "The school has aroused controversy by its attitude to some prospective entrants. South Hams children who pass the optional 11 plus but not high enough to get a place at one of the Plymouth grammar schools will be unlikely to be admitted to Ivybridge." The article lacks references and is in danger of deletion, so you need to find a source that backs up your point and reference it in the article. If you're unsure about how to do this then just put the link onto my talk page. Remember that the link must be to the exact page that backs up your point; not just the website itself.

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.
