The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Another Believer _(Talk) 14:58, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Grammy articles

I very much appreciate that you wish to edit/update Grammy-related articles. However, please refrain from removing sourced information, especially from articles with Good or Featured status. You are more than welcome to add 2012 nominees to articles and lists, and you can use the discussion pages if you wish to ask questions or voice concerns. Also, feel free to participate at the Grammy Awards task force, a collaborative project associated with WikiProject Awards and prizes (you can find a link on the talk page of any Grammy-related articles). Thanks! --Another Believer _(Talk) 16:18, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Please make sure that when you are adding information to articles and lists you are doing so in a manner that is consistent with the existing content. Placing bulleted lists into Good articles consisting of prose disturbs the flow. If you are not wanting to format information I would recommend posting it to the talk page instead. --Another Believer _(Talk) 21:37, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Invitation

You are invited to join the Grammy Awards task force, a subproject of WikiProject Awards and prizes dedicated to improving articles and lists related to the Grammy Awards. If you are interested in joining, please visit the project page and add your name to the list of participants.

Welcome to the task force! Be sure to keep an eye on the project's talk page for current discussions. There is a lot of activity right now due to nominations. Grammy articles will be active between now and the end of February. Thanks for your interest and support relating to Grammy articles and lists. Again, I will stress the importance of consistency when adding information to these articles. Don't hesitate to post your comments, questions or concerns on the project's talk page. --Another Believer _(Talk) 23:43, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

December 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording with this edit. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. waywardhorizons (talk) 23:02, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

• The reason I deleted the reference is that it was put in the wrong place. It referred to information on the Grammy Awards of 2011, while the reference was placed in the 2012 box. I think it is therefore justifiable that this incorrect link/reference should be removed. Zighlveit
  • Agreed. I went ahead and removed the reference from the 2012 cell (though a new one should be added to verify the nominated artists and works). --Another Believer _(Talk) 23:44, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
    • Thanks. I will add a new 2012 cell. Zighlveit
      • Great! Thanks. It appears you may have started listing nominees in alphabetical order by last name (unless that is purely coincidence), which is much appreciated. I might also suggest using endashes ("–") instead of regular dashes per Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Feel free to copy these endashes from above cells when adding new cells to tables. You've made quite a few edits and I anticipate many more! --Another Believer _(Talk) 00:20, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
        • I am using the running order as given by the Grammy organisation in its press release (http://www.grammy.com/files/54thpresslist.pdf) which I presume is in alphabetical order. Zighlveit

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Grammy Award, but we cannot accept original research. All material must be cited with a reliable source, preferably secondary, so that it is proven to be factual and notable; that a topic has been written about helps establish its notability.

Proposed deletion of Jan Stoeckart

The article Jan Stoeckart has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. AllyD (talk) 22:20, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

• I've added two references/sources, although one of them is in Dutch. And what happens if the sole source of your material is actually a Wikipedia page in a different language (in this case Dutch), which you cannot use as a source? Zighlveit (talk) 22:40, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Grammy winners for 2014

If I'm not mistaken, the Grammys are tonight and haven't been announced yet. Can you explain why you are filling in the winners, i.e., here, here, and in all the other categories? --Kinu ^t/_c 23:48, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

• I would recommend answering this question. I have reverted some of your edits. --Kinu ^t/_c 23:52, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
• Please, please do NOT revert any edits. The Grammys are on actually now (see grammy.com). Many awards are currently handed out in the Pre Telecast Ceremony. So again, do NOT revert any edits! Zighlveit (talk)

• Thank you for clarifying. This is why it's important to provide a source when making such edits. I advise doing so to avoid any future confusion. Again, please feel free to re-add the information with the appropriate source. (I have self-reverted my reverts of your additions.) --Kinu ^t/_c 23:57, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

• Well, yes, but I guess it's widely known that the Grammys are on today. Also, the show moves very fast with very little time between the various award segments so to keep up, there's hardly any time for adding sources (which? Even the Grammy website isn't fast enough to list all the winners instantly). Thanks for undoing the edits, by the way. Zighlveit (talk)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Zighlveit. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Zighlveit~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell

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.

Signpost exit poll

Dear Wikipedian, you recently voted in the ArbCom election. Your username, along with around 155 other usernames of your fellow Wikipedians, was randomly selected from the 2000+ Wikipedians who voted this year, with the help of one of the election-commissioners. If you are willing, could you please participate (at your option either on-wiki via userspace or off-wiki via email) in an exit poll, and answer some questions about how you decided amongst the ArbCom candidates?

  If you decide to participate in this exit poll, the statistical results will be published in the Signpost, an online newspaper with over 1000 Wikipedians among the readership. There are about twelve questions, which have alphanumerical answers; it should take you a few minutes to complete the exit poll questionnaire, and will help improve Wikipedia by giving future candidates information about what you think is important. This is only an unofficial survey, and will have no impact on your actual vote during this election, nor in any future election.

  All questions are individually optional, and this entire exit poll itself is also entirely optional, though if you choose not to participate, I would appreciate a brief reply indicating why you decided not to take part (see Question Zero). Thanks for being a Wikipedian

The questionnaire

Dear Wikipedian, please fill out these questions -- at your option via usertalk or via email, see Detailed Instructions at the end of the twelve questions -- by putting the appropriate answer in the blanks provided.

Proposed deletion of Rolling Stone 100 Best Songs of the Decade

The article Rolling Stone 100 Best Songs of the Decade has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

List of songs not covered in sources outside Rolling Stone magazine. Covers only a single decade.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
