Dates

Hi. I saw your edit here to Grok. Our Manual of Style for dates recommends against linking to years in articles unless it's particularly relevant, i.e. will help the understanding of the current article in some way. For example, a music article might say "released in 1961 (see 1961 in music)". Wikilinking to full dates is recommended because the reader can localize the style with user settings, e.g. [[April 4]] [[2007]] will appear as "April 4, 2007" to American readers and "4 April 2007" to European readers. But this doesn't happen with "solo" years. Happy editing! --Dhartung | Talk 01:39, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yoga poll

Hi! There's some discussion on whether using "asana", "yogasana" or "yoga asana" as the article title. If you are acquainted with the subject, you are invited to drop your opinion at Talk:Yogasana#Opinion Poll on this article's name. Davin7 10:03, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hanuman foundation

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Hanuman foundation, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. B. Wolterding 19:35, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Editing your own comments

I thought it was a bit odd to see a couple paragraphs removed from the Ram Dass talk page. In the future, see WP's guidelines on editing your own talk page comments. Since there were no replies to your statement, it doesn't seem to matter much. However, the original form wasn't disturbing in any way. Since you may be quoted elsewhere, or, in this case, since you have provided interesting information that others may want to find again sometime, it's usually best practice to leave comments up. If a talk page ever grows unwieldly, it can be archived in a number of ways, so you shouldn't have to worry too much about any comments being "too long" or irrelevant. — gogobera (talk) 20:47, 23 December 2007 (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.
