Emirati Icon

Dear Emirati Icon,

I am a Board member of the Middle East Public Relations Association and I am writing a guide to help our members interact with Wikipedia more effectively and also, ethically according to the policies and guidelines laid down. I have followed the guidelines so far and have registered as a user on the UAE Wikiproject group. I have also made contributions to the Talk Page on our Wiki Middle East Public Relations Association. It has been 10 days and our content is still to be updated. Am I OK do you think to edit our section directly?

Appreciate your kind advice!

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) 14:26, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
