Question
Why not use symbols (not daggers) to indicate deaths? Quis separabit? 06:06, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
- It's unencyclopedic and can be both ambiguous and misrepresentative. Death can and should be mentioned in prose, and having a dagger is thus unnecessary. I have never seen its usage stay on a page long; either it never shows up or it gets removed quickly. Additionally, I know of cases where someone sees a dagger next to a name and is led to believe that the indicated person is Christian. —烏Γ (kaw) │ 06:23, 18 November 2015 (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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:27, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
