Hello Jack,

Did you know Ian M? He corresponded with my mother for years before his death; it's good to see a decent biography on WP. Cheers, +sj + 00:59, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Thanks for the compliment. I'm glad you like the article. I did not Ian M at all but I've read his essays and Revolution In The Head. This, combined with some information from his Guardian obituary, was the source of all the information I contributed to the article. How did your :mother know him?

He was interested in many sorts of music; my mother met him through discussions online about various classical composers (particularly shostakovich). I exchanged a few short notes with him about the philosophy of perception when I was in college, and regret not having a chance to finish the conversation. He wrote quiet well, and was the sort who might turn out a few pages of well-researched commentary in a letter a day after receiving one. +sj + 23:04, 25 November 2007 (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.
