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.

Re: protecting pages (Whopper)[edit]

Hey there. To get a page protected, you need to go to requests for page protection. Simply adding the pp-dispute template doesn't do it. :-) Best, Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 16:38, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The ed17: Please see this bot edit, not sure if it is related to this or not. Home Lander (talk) 16:44, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Home Lander: Thanks for pointing me to that edit. Not sure what happened with it (some sort of delay? A cache issue? Not a tech person here!), but I've manually re-added the template. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 16:50, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Word to the Badd!![edit]

Hello Sparkzy. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Word to the Badd!!, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Veriafiably a single by Jermaine Jackson. WP:A9 is not applicable here. Thank you. Shirt58 (talk) 10:26, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Shirt58:, I just reinstated the tag as it had been removed by the articles original author without explanation. SPARKZY 12:48, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 23[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Triple Zero (000), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ACMA. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:57, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Leaving in vandalism[edit]

Hi Sparkzy.

Be careful when you are reverting vandalism, sometimes there is still vandalism in the version you are reverting to. Fortunately, on this occasion Gulumeemee sorted it out.

Yaris678 (talk) 08:18, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Yaris678:, Gulumeemee was just too quick in this instance, however, I do review all recent edits after reverting vandalism SPARKZY 08:27, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
