Dates

Hi, in most cases dates should not be linked, only when they are germane and topical to the subject, as discussed at Wikipedia:Linking#Chronological items (see MOS:UNLINKDATES).

You might also consider to apply WP:Bare URLs. --Jaellee (talk) 15:40, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kewell

I'm not sure what you are asking sorry. Do I think it is appropriate for us to include what basically boils down to more speculation and rumors? Then no, I don't. In the same article the club stated that no signing has yet been made. There are numerous examples of newspapers reporting on player transfers and they turn out to be incorrect, so we must exercise caution with WP:BLP in mind.

Nelson Haedo Valdez

According to MOS:FLAG these flags should be removed, so I'm removing them wherever I see them. Wikipedia contains lots of articles about footballers (I think that the number is > 50,000) and it is difficult to impose the same standards on all of them. I agree with you that all athletes should be treated in the same way, but there are are lot of different editors. Some don't just know what the consensus is, others are going against it on purpose.

I don't have a 'say' here, the 'style' for footballer articles is usually discussed at WT:FOOTY, the talk page of the WP:WikiProject Football. If you want to know what the general opinion on a football topic is, better go there than asking only a single editor (in some cases the consensus is against my personal opinion so I'd have a hard case arguing for it). --Jaellee (talk) 09:47, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have anything against you or against Valdez; I try to treat every every article in the same way. --Jaellee (talk) 22:03, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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.
