As you are doing

Such a vast number of categories for a new user? It might be well advised to check out when you create new categories that have red talk page indicators, that you can also add appropriate project tags on the talk page - always a help if you are able... sats 12:25, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I didn't know about that. I've actually only made one category so far I think, just that one for Irish Republic society. Southrook (talk) 12:30, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe just the one, but if you are doing such a large amount of category modifications, it is well worth learning about projects that articles and categories belong to, in time - no rush, just take care if you do get to creating new categories - have a careful look around at similar categories, as the process of people coming along and deciding for whatever reason you have created an incorrect category - or want to change the words or whateverr, it can be daunting for new users, to put it politely. sats 12:35, 19 September 2013 (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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:03, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
