DuPage County, Illinois

Hello. Nice work on the DuPage County, Illinois article! Would it be possible for you to add sources or -even better- citations to the updated numbers? Thanks, Kralizec! (talk) 16:55, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{cite web}} template

Thank you for creating references for your edits to the Naperville and DuPage County pages. References for facts are always appreciated. However, the American Community Survey uses extremely long URLs, which creates pages that have horizontal scrollbars due to these long URLs. If you would start using the {{cite web}} template instead of just putting the URL inside <ref>...</ref> tags, the "References" section would have more information for the reference than just an extremely long link. An example would be:

<ref>{{cite web
|url=(Insert Long URL Here)
|title=2006 Economic Fact Sheet for Naperville, IL 
|accessdate=2008-01-25
|work=2006 American Community Survey 
|year=2007 
|month=September 
|publisher=US Census Bureau
}}</ref>

Thanks! --Mike Vitale 14:49, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edit to Benet Academy

Greetings DPCBOSS!

I recently reverted your edit to this article, and thought I should explain why. While both you and I agree that this school is indeed prestigious, labeling it as such is in violation of one of the core tenants of wikipedia; that being that articles must be written from a neutral point of view. What we can do is provide facts that make this undeniable. For example, if neutral third party reliable sources could be found to confirm the high test scores, the number of National Merit Scholars, etc, those can be included, and without using words like "prestigious", "wonderful", excellent", etc. the point is made. From your edits, it looks like you know the area, and you might even have an association with the school. If you can find this information in good sources, please add it. Best of luck and good editing. LonelyBeacon (talk) 21:41, 12 July 2008 (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.
