What is V RS?
[edit]In here you have used the term V RS many times, I was wondering what it meant? Thanks. iamthebob 02:13, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

- Gleng, I wish you well at Citizendium. You've been an excellent source of reason, especially on a page hijacked by a lone looney with a warped obsession. Ciao. •Jim62sch• 22:43, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- You don't know me (and I don't really know you), but I just wanted to tell you I enjoyed reading the information you left on your user page... you very clearly put a fascinating set of ideas. On the basis of what you wrote I have to say I'm sorry to not have you here as well. Ben Tibbetts 19:41, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an open forum reflective of a society that is controlled by people of all stripes, including people who are loud and ignorant, who jump to superficial and erroneous conclusions, who use intellectually thin reasoning, etc.
Although I empathize with your frustration, know that your presence here is vital and that your input is highly valued. Please put aside your frustrations with this imperfect forum and continue to help break down the walls of academic elitism, as it is an honor to have you here.
I have valued your input, and I am asking you to come back.

Welcome Back Gareth!
[edit]Glad to see that you have rejoined the project. I don't think I was editing at all before you left, but I have still managed to come across some of your contributions. Your input is certainly welcome over at Chiropractic. Cheers, DigitalC (talk) 12:06, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
- Welcome back!!! (even though I started editing Chiropractic after you left.) ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 12:21, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict ("articles which relate to pseudoscience, broadly interpreted") if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process.
The final text of the motions can be found at the case page linked above.

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.
