May 2011[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article United States Navy SEALs, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
- Additionally, the date is shown in the lead paragraphs as well, and you only changed the main text. We edit conflicted, so I changed that date back to the 1st for consistency, at least. See here for my actual edit. (It's been changed back since I started typing, the cited source now says May 2!)
- Plus, the 'offical' date of bin Ladens' death is somewhat hazy at the moment. See the discussion here: WP:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Death_date.
Happy Editing! - 220.101 talk\Contribs 14:04, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- Right, that's fine. I was just changing it to remove the different date sentences in the same section. Most of the articles I read put it at 1am May 2, local time, and there was a reference already on the paragraph. There may need to be some distinction between Pakistan Standard Time and Eastern Standard Time, when the announcement was made.--Nkgal (talk) 16:22, 2 May 2011 (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.
