Disambiguation link notification[edit]

Hi. When you recently edited Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Friedrich Schlegel (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.

		The Writer's Barnstar
		for your marked improvement of Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, German poet. Slowking4⇔ †@1₭ 04:04, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Paul Marston (talk) 12:36, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

btw, i mentioned you at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Poetry. maybe we can get some collaboration, there are 2 other sources to include, and then copyedit to get a good article. Slowking4⇔ †@1₭ 04:18, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really have the time at the moment, I'm afraid. There are plenty more than two sources available on Droste, but the best, most up-to-date stuff tends to be in German (she isn't a writer who has been much translated into English, at least as far as her poetry is concerned. There is, however, at least one translation of Die Judenbuche available in paperback). I suspect the ideal source would be Barbara Beuys's recent biography Blamierien mag ich mich nicht, which is three times longer than Freund's. I've never read it, though. Nevertheless, Freund is up-to-date and I would be hesitant about including much older sources just for the sake of it. Cheers. Paul Marston (talk) 10:42, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's given me some excuse to practise my Polish. It's depressing how much intellectual effort has been wasted on this unencyclopaedic garbage though. Nonetheless, I trust "BLP" will win through. --Paul Marston (talk) 09:16, 2 April 2013 (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.
