Gordon Campbell edit dispute[edit]

Carole James Article[edit]

Hello, I'm a new user and cannot find your 'talk' section, however, you have commented on mine.

For the life of me I cannot see what having written or contributed to Wiki articles has much to do with anything, nor linking to blurbs about sock puppets. I would expect a kinder response from a more seasoned user. Please adhere to Wiki guidelines on this.

How accurate do you wish Wiki articles to be? Sources are most everything and anyone can create or edit a page , listing "January 1st, 2007 edition of the Manchester Guardian". But does this make it correct? Unless a link is provided the source could very well be bogus.

As we are to discuss issues and attempt to resolve them ourselves before approaching Administration, I would ask what you suggest is best to keep the Carole James article as accurate and unbiased as possible. For all I know the article mentioned that Carole and her husband drive back to his reservation often and a Prius just wouldn't do the job. Or maybe it didn't.

See what I mean? 76trombones 01:13, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

hon./honourable[edit]

saw your edit; I think it's different for the Premier/First Minister and for post-viceregal former L/G-G's.Skookum1 (talk) 01:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comment. I got my info from the wiki artcile http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honourable which indicates that only a small number of people get to keep the title once they leave office. I don't know of another source of that statement.WikiMart (talk) 04:55, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed[edit]

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called WikiMart. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name WikiMart~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

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.
