Thanks for the cleanup of his page. I was leaving some of the instructions in as a reminder of work to be done, but it does look a lot better now.

I actually got onto his page because of working on his brother's page a bit. I think he was clearly a fairly notable person in several ways, especially in terms of birth control issues. --Jvv62 16:06, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thinks he's N, and I'll support the article if needed. But it would help if you could add some details of his degrees and positions--the article is a little on the sparse side. I completely agree with you that people should speedy as fast as they do--but there are people going around doing it, and they are not about to stop. If it's tagged again, let me know & I'll remove the tag. DGG 17:16, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for your work at Belgian stay-behind network. I hope you'll finish it! Tazmaniacs 14:16, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again! I've put an "under construction" tag for the article as you seem to work on it. Let me know when you're finished, I'll double-check it... Do not forget to use WP:Footnotes in every controversial statement (on this sort of statement, about each sentence may be considered controversial). This allows for respect of WP:CS which is a good thing! Cheers! Tazmaniacs 01:19, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited EngenderHealth, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sterilization (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.

Idea for EngenderHealth/AVSC/etc.

Maarten, it has been awhile, and I hope you are well. I recently had an idea about the EngenderHealth page and wanted to know what you thought. Specifically: since EngenderHealth has had a couple of incarnations over the years -- AVSC, AVS, and so on -- what about devoting specific pages to longer explanations of these now-defunct organization names, and limiting the EngenderHealth page just to activities since it became EngenderHealth in 2001? This might provide extra room for detailing historical background while keeping the current page current. Obviously the pages would be linked.

Let me know what you think. Thanks again.

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.
