Proposed deletions

Hey, Lawnaut. I hope that my flurry of messages doesn't put you off. I've proposed deleting a couple of the articles you've created, because as far as I can tell, the subjects are pretty much just professors of law at Michigan, with not more to distinguish them in their careers than any other (obviously highly-accomplished) member of that faculty. Edward H. Cooper, having authored the textbook, is by contrast a good example of someone who is sufficiently notable; I think that's a good, Wikipedia-worthy article. Take a look at the notability requirements for professors at WP:Academic to get a sense of who warrants inclusion in the encyclopedia. Thanks! JohnInDC (talk) 14:42, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

National Registry of Exonerations

Hi Lawnaut! Thanks for your work on the National Registry of Exonerations. It's exciting to see that you're new to Wikipedia. I hope you choose to stick around. I reviewed the DYK nomination for the Registry and I think it's almost ready to go. I made a suggestion about how to shorten the hook before it runs. Thanks again and welcome! Please ask questions here, there, or at my talk page—I'm happy to help with anything that may be puzzling you. Peace, groupuscule (talk) 01:26, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This & that

Hey, Lawnaut - I've been tweaking the John A. E. Pottow article a bit more; I may have over-removed in my first go-round but I think you over-restored a bit too and I'm trying to find the right middle. I've set out my reasons on the Talk page, so if you've got any concerns about what I did, let's discuss it there. It's better than the piecemeal, one-way discussion of edit summaries. Also, please go have a look at WP:Assume Good Faith. While I can understand the frustration of seeing a template added to an article you've written, your edit summary comment about "drive by tagging" implied that I had added it without thinking about it, or for some reason other than substance. Thanks! JohnInDC (talk) 13:07, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I left some notes at John A. E. Pottow describing my concerns with the article. I hope you'll look over what I said and consider it going forward as you go forward. You are obviously a quick study (and I assume have been editing anonymously for a while before creating your own account) and if you can learn to be a bit more discerning and deliberate, will - I think - make valuable contributions to the encyclopedia. Thanks! JohnInDC (talk) 13:24, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for National Registry of Exonerations

On 8 December 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article National Registry of Exonerations, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that among the 1,018 cases listed on Samuel R. Gross's National Registry of Exonerations are people who were falsely accused, mistakenly identified, or confessed to crimes they did not commit? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/National Registry of Exonerations. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Deletion discussion about Kyle D. Logue

Hello, Lawnaut,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Kyle D. Logue should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kyle D. Logue .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, MJH (talk) 03:46, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore this. The editor didn't realize at first that the article had already been nominated for deletion; when they discovered it, they removed the tag and the log entry but not this notice. JohnInDC (talk) 12:29, 8 December 2012 (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.
