Derailleur gears

I have reverted your recent changes to derailleur gears. The actuation ratios were reversed (for example Shimano had been changed from 2:1 to 1:2, and even the quoted text in one reference had been changed so that it conflicted with the quoted text in another reference), and I didn't see any new references to support this change. It is one thing to say that an existing reference is substandard or to provide competing references, but simply to change the quoted text from an existing reference without even so much as an edit summary seems to go against both wp:rs and wp:nor. If you can provide reliable sources that support your changes, I would love to see them. -AndrewDressel (talk) 15:33, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Chain Ring

Hi Ron, thanks for creating the Chain Ring article. We already have chain rings covered at Crankset#Chainring, though, with some of the information (e.g. actuation ratio) covered in other articles such as derailleur gears. Thanks for pitching in though; I hope you stick around! Since your article duplicates the current one on chain rings, I've nominated it for speedy deletion - but please don't take this as a snub.

Correction: I've redirected the page to Crankset#Chainring. Your content is still visible by using the "View history" tab. Brammers (talk/c) 21:27, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Influenza pandemic

Hello! I have removed the paragraph you added to Influenza pandemic about the 2011 H1N1 vaccine losing effectiveness. I've spent the better part of this evening combing the WHO website, and then doing searches in google news, google proper, and then yahoo and ask.com for good measure, and I could not source this alert. Additionally, I discovered through my research that the 2011 flu vaccine is a combination of three different strands, not just the H1N1 strand, so it's really unclear what vaccine your paragraph referred to. I normally would not just remove the statement from an article without discussion on the talk page, but I'm concerned about having such important information possibly be an error posted as fact on Wikipedia. --Ella Plantagenet (talk) 00:45, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

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.
