Hi, and thanks again for your contributions. Your username is rather close to CrimTrac. I'm guessing this is just a coincidence? Happy editing! --Shirt58 (talk) 09:55, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks Shirt58 and for your helpful advice. I am making a few mistakes, as you can certainly see, like not logging in when making multiple corrections. Also I made a mistake in not capitalising Australia and didn't pick it up. Thank you for your proof reading.
I wasn't aware of the article CrimTrac until you pointed it out. It is just a coincidence. Very embarrassing. I know Wikipedia doesn't like certain names, like those having racist overtones, or extreme political overtones. It's not in that category, or I hope not. It's very easy to use a normal word in the English language that might have different uses in another language. About forty years ago in Victoria I think a soccer team named HOPE was asked to change its name when it was discovered that the name was actually the initials of an alleged extremist political group in the mother country of most of the club's supporters. An editor on Wikipedia might use this name thinking it was a normal English word. Only someone who came from that particular country would probably know.
Perhaps for now I could leave it, or if you wish I could change it to something that doesn't sound like the name of an article.

Seen the message at Shirt58's talk page and took the liberty to delete the two redirects and move it to mainspace as I believe was your intent, see [1] [2] [3]. I have left the redirect from your the page in your userspace to the one in mainspace, lemme know if I should delete that too. Best regards, Snowolf How can I help? 12:41, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Thank you very much. Your action is much appreciated. I'm afraid I make a lot of editing mistakes and I'm always very grateful for administrators who help me. I'm not sure about the redirect from my userspace to the one in mainspace. It probably doesn't matter but if you think it should be deleted please do so.Pestbuda (talk) 13:58, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- Don't worry, we all make mistakes :) And nah, the redirect's fine, no issues there :) Snowolf How can I help? 18:21, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

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.
