Alexander Macomb (American general) and other matters

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your edits. FWIW, I did not mean to disparage your viewpoint or create a contentious situation; but merely pointed out the pronunciation as I have experienced it. In any event, I just want to encourage you to hang on and continue to contribute, as I am sure you will make a valuable editor. BTW, Carptrash is very knowledgeable and helpful (he really helped me when I was a newbie), and I would say that the two of you are only having a failure to communicate due to the limited nature of typewritten communications. In any event, I would respectfully suggest that this will work out, as I have the utmost confidence in his judgment and motives. If I can help you in any way, please let me know. Happy editing. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 01:00, 4 August 2008 (UTC) Stan[reply]

Your question

For a list of the most visited articles, see WP:Most_visited_articles. For Wikipedia article traffic statistics, see this.

{{fact}} tags are essential since what might be considered commonsense to you, might not be to someone else. There are many other reasons as well, please refer to Burden of evidence.

Cheers mate!

Oxford comma

"Unless context dictates otherwise" is a pretty good clue. Hunting down and editing out existing examples would be on a par with rewriting articles in US English to conform to UK conventions, i.e. something up with which I will not put. "Three cheers for the red, white and blue," sang Peter and Jane, Jack and Jill, and the band of the Royal Scots Guards. Ka renjc 08:19, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a consensus against the list. Please don't put it back until it's agreed with other editors. You may want to discuss at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Visual_arts#Embedded_lists. Ty 02:07, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lists

This clarifies the position that lists are not preferred....:[1]Modernist (talk) 22:59, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.

Survey Invite

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=3dz0m2ubQw1KSnb_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_em40AxapCbWwggR&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 19:56, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
