treaty-work

Dear Skepticus, thanks for pointing out some weak points in Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. There are several things there that are unsourced, and sometimes a bit overstated. Adding requests for refs on the most important points, or stating the non-neutrality on the talk page; or adding in other sourced content are all good ways to get this improved. I got your god-apparently-gave-this-authority-irony, but that is a style that doesn't work on wikipedia, so I removed it. Just letting you know that that should discourage you in changing the article (with reliable sources (see wp:RS for what wikipedia means with that) of course... Cheers!

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.
