Thelma Drake

I believe you were involved in an edit war at this article, back in June. When you're back to editing wikipedia articles, please take a look and see if you can help (another user and I who are engaged in a similar rv cycle don't want to violated the three-revert rule). Thanks. John Broughton 17:48, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the nice note and invitation. I decided to extricate myself from revert wars and the like largely as a result of the Thelma Drake experience. It was taking away too much time from my studies for the bar exam! The anonymous user in question is very difficult to deal with, and very stubborn in his beliefs. On the other hand, I re-wrote the article at one point, including most of his/her proposed information in an NPOV fashion, and he/she seemed satsified with it. I think what Sholom has done, in creating a secondary article, is a good idea.

I wrote a note on the talk page of Thelma Drake, which might help mollify 70.160.180.8, though I guess that kind of unlikely. For the sake of my bar studies, I really should get any more involved. The only other suggestions I can think of is to try to draw their attention to the new page, and show them that their information is now available there. And perhaps to write a short, relevant, one sentence summary on the Thelma Drake page, saying that the information is available in more detail on the other page?

You're welcome, and I wish you success on the bar exam. Your posting a note on the talk page of the article, by itself, is helpful: all we're trying to do is get 70.160* to be reasonable, and the more people who suggest that, the more likely it is. And I thought the suggestions were good ones. John Broughton 18:58, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for chiming in. John and I were getting real tired of this, we can use a third. -- Sholom 20:21, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your welcome. I just finished the bar exam, so I have a little more free time. I'll help monitor the page and chime in on other stuff, but I don't know enough about Wikipedia to take a lead in anything.Lucky Adrastus 21:09, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I also add my thanks for your help. And I appreciate the edit you just did, to remove the Ed Shrock details from the Thelma Drake article. [I suspect that 70.x won't even notice (or give you any credit).] John Broughton

Thanks! Please drop me a note if any edits or comments I make are over the top. I certainly don't expect 70.x (a good name, by the way) to notice my edit, but he probably would have noticed and blamed us if it weren't removed. Whatever it's worth, when I first saw this page in late May, there was plenty of "left-wing" vandalism present. Lucky Adrastus 19:09, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bar and such

Hey Lucky Adrastus. I glanced at your user page and noticed that you recently took the bar. Me too, incidentally :). If you're interested, take a look at WikiProject Law and WikiProject U.S. Supreme Court cases; I think you would enjoy participating. See you around. · j·e·r·s·y·k·o talk · 21:19, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Good luck on your results. I've noticed some of your edits at George Allen and read an article or two that you started. Very impressive! I'll take a look at the two WikiProjects you suggested. I wasn't aware of the Supreme Court one, and would probably enjoy participating in that. Lucky Adrastus 21:57, 9 August 2006 (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.
