Take a look at Consensus of standards. It is always wise to read the talk page of an existing article before making major changes on it. Even then, I typically ask if anyone minds that I make a change. Very often they do! ;-)

National Association of Scholars

Hi Vanished User 20200423, I created an article on National Association of Scholars and now the article is being systematically defaced by opponents of the organization. I am a new user, and I do not know how to defend it alone from so many more experienced ettackers. Can I interest you in putting the article on your watchlist to monitor activity and counter unfair editors if you catch them? I ask because I noticed you've experienced similar treatment on the Manhattan Institute page and know how to handle it well. Adebter (talk) 15:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Catboner

It's actually pretty big, but like so much of the perceived PAA/AHS "rivalry," it's seen as much bigger if you're on the townie side. See http://princeton.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2233551979, http://princeton.facebook.com/group.php?gid=17657688048, http://princeton.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2365931244 ... there used to be a group just known as "Catboner!", but it looks like that's been taken down (presumably under TOS violations of it being an attack group).

It may not have actually been all that big by the time you graduated, but by the end of '05 I know it was happening. And with younger siblings and cousins that go to AHS, I can attest to the fact that a lot of local kids can get really smug and happy when they think of how clever they're being.

Think of it as a new update on just driving by and yelling "fag" out the window.

Oh, and pretty clever username.

Manhattan Institute

Back in 2007 you made a major contribution to Manhattan Institute which added many unsourced POV claims.[1] I've tagged some of them, but the work needs to be based on reliable sources. Further, the activities of some members appear to be credited to the institute as a whole, even though some fo the third-party sources don't mention the institute. Unless the material can be fixed I'll probably cut it back substantially. Will Beback talk 22:22, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to get on this. Thanks for giving me a heads up Scharferimage (talk) 15:55, 9 July 2009 (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.
