Hi Happenstancial, I noticed you added a (very nice) pie chart to United Kingdom budget. However, (you knew that was coming, eh?) I am wondering whether it's a good idea to put data for a particular year into the all-years article, at least if it doesn't come with some kind of explanation.
I suggest the options would be to move the chart to the 2009 budget (linked from the article), or to tweak the image caption to say it's an example. What do you think? Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:28, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
Yep, it should be in the 2009 page, and cited as an example, cheers CC Happenstancial (talk) 15:43, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification[edit]
Hi. When you recently edited Republican Party presidential primaries, 2012, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Social Security (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.

Maintenance templates[edit]
Hi Happenstancial. Thank you for your contributions but please do not remove article maintenance templates, as you did here, without first fixing the problem, or else leave an edit summary explaining why the template no longer applies. This is especially important where references are needed. To understand why this is important please take a look at our verifiability policy.
I have reverted a few of your edits that have done this. Although the edit summaries said "copy edit" the rest of the edit seemed to be fairly trivial with insertion of paragraph breaks and similar. You are welcome to reapply these edits with the retention of the maintenance templates. SpinningSpark 19:28, 2 January 2012 (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.
