please don't erase comments on talk pages

You did it twice. Worst of all after you did that, you made it look like I started the thread, which I did not. DyslexicEditor 01:56, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Fine. The entire section has been removed, since the part that you responded to was clearly graffiti. Rockhound 02:47, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Your user and talk pages make you look new. You're not supposed to delete comments in talk pages even if you think they're useless. I don't know what you call "graphitti" but it's better for comments to be in talk pages than in an article. DyslexicEditor 04:26, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Nuxhall status

Thanks for your request for help with the Joe Nuxhall article. I took a look at the last couple of edits regarding his illnesses. I must say that I tend not to view Wikepedia as a competitor to the local paper, dealing in rumors and minute-to-minute updates and reports. I tend to wait until something like this has taken its course before including it in an encyclopedia, so I don't think I would be much help. Carry on if you wish with the "breaking" reports; I wouldn't include them at all at this time.

Of course, this is just my two cents. Thanks,

Striking your vote

Hello TBrauns,

Thank you for your interest in the Wikimedia Board Election. The Election Committee regretfully informs you that your previous vote was received in error and will be struck according to the election rules, described below.

The Election Committee regretfully announces today that we will have to remove approximately 220 votes submitted. These votes were cast by people not entitled to vote. The election rules state that users must have at least 400 edits by June 1 to be eligible to vote.

The voter lists we sent to Software in the Public Interest (our third party election partner) initially were wrong, and one of your account was eventually included to our initial list. There was a bug in the edit counting program and the sent list contained every account with 201 or more edits, instead of 400 or more edits. So large numbers of people were qualified according to the software who shouldn't be. The bug has been fixed and an amended list was sent to SPI already.

Our first (and wrong) list contains 80,458 accounts as qualified. The proper number of qualified voters in the SPI list is now 52,750. As of the morning of July 4 (UTC), there are 2,773 unique voters and 220 people, including you, have voted who are not qualified based upon this identified error.

In accordance with voting regulations the Election Committee will strike those approximately 220 votes due to lack of voting eligibility. The list of struck votes is available at https://wikimedia.spi-inc.org/index.php/List_of_struck_votes.

We are aware of the possibility that some of the people affected may have other accounts with more than 400 edits, and hence may still be eligible to vote. We encourage you to consider voting again from another account, if you have one. If you have no other account eligible to vote, we hope you reach the criteria in the next Election, and expect to see your participation to the future Elections.

Your comments, questions or messages to the Committee would be appreciated, you can make them at m:Talk:Board elections/2007/en. Other language versions are available at m:Translation requests/Eleccom mail, 07-05.

Again, we would like to deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
Kizu Naoko

Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 article

Out of curiosity, why did you delete the tag that asked for confirmation whether the hostage was NATO or not? Did you talk about it on the discussion page? Neil the Cellist (talk) 13:00, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I completely forgot, and I will remedy this now. Rockhound (talk) 14:51, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

JuicyCampus

Regarding: [1]

It is an internet gossip site that became very controversial and discussed in the news. States have filed legal actions against Juicycampus. Because of this the site is notable. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:26, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I... see. Well, so be it. Rockhound (talk) 02:49, 16 May 2008 (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.
