Query from anonIP

Hello. I have no idea what you are talking about, as I never vandalized any of the pages on wikipedia. Please take care in sending that message to a correct person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.85.114.145 (talk • contribs) 2007-11-07T07:09:26

Okinawa Island

You recently removed my links to videos about Okinawa from the Okinawa Island web page. I feel this is misguided. Text is not the only way to learn and gain information. Video provides a great visual way to learn about an environment. I love Okinawa and I thought that these visual representations of the island would provide additional ways for people to understand the topic. Would you please reconsider adding the link "Videos about Okinawa" -http://agileh.com/okinawa.html to the External links section of Okinawa Island. I can understand why this wouldn't be good for other pages like "Battle of Okinawa" and "Ryukyu History", but I think it's very relevant to the topic of Okinawa Island. There is currently a link to HDRJapan.com and I don't see the difference between what he is doing and what I am doing except he's using photos and I'm using videos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agileh (talk • contribs) 2008-01-02T18:59:36 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Malcolm_McGookin

I'm continually confused as to what is going on. I don't want my article deleted, I just wanted a straightforward record of my professional career to be recorded and to stop my personal correspondence with Wikipedia from appearing on the internet.

It seems Wiki is powerless to stop every geek on the planet interfering with honest entries, and passing ridiculous judgements, indeed sometimes the geeks are Wiki OFFICIALS.

I'm looking forward to Google's version being launched. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alex2222222 (talk • contribs) 2008-01-12T04:12:13

Details of the reason for deletion can be found at the link you just referenced. Please understand that Wikipedia is meant to be neutral towards its subject, and biographical entries aren't meant to be vetted by the subject in question, nor should it be an autobiography. Likewise, I think Google's new venture will be pretty awesome, and I'm looking forward to it just like you. Since both projects will have open licenses, information can be freely shared between the two. --健次(derumi)^talk 21:43, 4 March 2008 (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.

New deal for page patrollers

Hi Derumi,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
