2. Fußball-Bundesliga move[edit]

Please do not carry out controversial moves, like you did on 2. Fußball-Bundesliga, without discusion either on the talk page or through a move request. Also, when carrying out such moves after the appropriate discussion make sure you fix up all the associated templates. Thanks, Calistemon (talk) 19:16, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See policy Wikipedia:Article titles - Foreign names and anglicization: "Names not originally in a Latin alphabet ... must be transliterated." Vanruvan (talk) 19:24, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

German is written in the Latin alphabet. --Stemonitis (talk) 19:25, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you undo your moves and raise the articles you wished moved at Wikipedia:Requested moves as it is the way it should be done with controversial moves, which yours most certainly are. Thanks, Calistemon (talk) 19:27, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page moves[edit]

Please stop moving pages for "transliteration". There is no consensus for this. --Stemonitis (talk) 19:25, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree. We provide redirects for those who cannot or do not wish to type alt chars into the search box, but there is no reason to misspell, bowdlerize, or artificially simplify the actual title of an article - unless a "transliterated" form is the one in common usage in English-language publications. In fact it makes it harder to track something down if its title is not in teh standard form. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:35, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive edits now, or you will be blocked from editing. --Stemonitis (talk) 19:35, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, edits like this one are disruptive. Please stop or this will have to be taken to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Calistemon (talk) 19:39, 14 November 2011 (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.
