Fleming
editPlease stop adding the commas to the Fleming article. The article uses British English, which does not use commas after dates. Thank you. - SchroCat (talk) 22:07, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Alas, I am not a real gangster. I am a wanksta. I am, however, a real gongster. - TuffGongster (talk) 22:42, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
Diana Furchtgott-Roth
edit{{Help me}}
I recently noticed that a page I edited, Diana Furchgott-Roth, misspelled the subject's name. The correct spelling is Diana Furchtgott-Roth. I'm still fairly new at this and wondered what the protocol was for situations like this. Do I create a duplicate page with the subject's name spelled correctly in the URL (https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Diana_Furchtgott-Roth) and flag the original page for deletion? Please and thank you - TuffGongster (talk) 23:34, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
- Nooo! That's the worse thing to do. You will lose all the attribution to the user's edits (and it's a right pain to fix!). Page names are changed by moving the page. See WP:MOVE Ronhjones (Talk) 00:21, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
- I have moved the page, but it needs quite a bit of work. The lone reference is her faculty web page, not really the independent coverage Wikipedia content should be based on. Huon (talk) 00:45, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
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.
