Cheers! All the content was hiding in there so it's good to have saved it (for now at least)! Acb314 (talk) 10:07, 30 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

AfD

edit

I've just returned to Wikipedia after a long break as well. I agree about overzealous deletions, but I am not aware of a group doing anything in this area. I picked up the page we both worked on RC patrolling, but I guess we could patrol AfD looking for articles to save? If you find out about a group or have any more thoughts, please do tell me.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tim Harford, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Klein (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.

Wiki Loves Pride 2014

edit

Hi Acb. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --Another Believer (Talk) 18:32, 13 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:05, 24 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
