Bowerbird

Hi - I've removed the last sentence of your note on the Bowerbird talk page, as it is not of general interest to Wikipedia users/editors. The rest of your comment is indeed germane to the article's content. If you wish to discuss "option(s) for our group to work on," you might consider creating User:Cobiorower/Sandbox, where you can leave messages of this nature. Thanks! --Seduisant (talk) 19:21, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Peacock trains

I noticed your comment at Peafowl, unfortunately that article tends to collect a lot of edits that should really go to specific species. I think what you mention is better dealt with in Indian Peafowl. The peafowl article should really be more of a genus/clade level overview. Shyamal (talk) 04:35, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Stalk-eyed fly, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Posterior and Scutellum (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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) 11:54, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of René Descartes

The article René Descartes you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:René Descartes for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Tomcat (7) 17:41, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Long-tailed Widowbird, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Morphological (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

GAN for Indiana Jones

Hi! The article shows a lot of promise, so I'm hoping that you can start to resolve some of the remaining issues. -- Zanimum (talk) 23:15, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Dark Knight Rises GA

Further to the long delay for the GA on this, please see the thread at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations#The Dark Knight Rises GA. If you would like, either I or Hahc21 would be willing to pick up the review on this fairly quickly. To do this you will have to remove the review tag on the talk page and re-nominate straight away; it would be best to then report that you have done that on the thread above. The review will be picked up by one of us shortly after that. It has taken too long for Saw t get back on his rather questionable point about the plot, which I think would have taken it outside the scope of a GA.

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.
