A big effort, but do you need any help?

Anawhoisawitch

I have been noting the huge effort you have been putting in over the last few days to rewrite and improve the article about Aristides. I would be happy to help you improve your grammar and expression. I don't want to cause you any offence, but I believe that some of the material you have recently included in this article is poorly structured and could be expressed more clearly. However, I don't want to start changing things until you tell me that you have finished with your changes.

I am happy to make changes to fix up the language without changing the overall intention of what you're trying to say. So, let me know when you're finished and then I will have a go at improving the overall readability of the article. --Chaleyer61 11:52, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Plutarch

I have noticed that you are making heavy use of Plutarch as a source for articles on the ancient Athenian statesmen Solon and Aristides. Given that Plutarch was writing over half a millenium after his subjects were alive and he was not averse to either bending the facts or just plain making stuff up in order to make a point about morals or to draw a parallel with another famous person, I think you should use a little more caution when using his works as a source. Just because Plutarch says something happened does not mean it can go in the article as a fact. --Spondoolicks 20:21, 19 March 2007 (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.
