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.

  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Dawnseeker2000 01:14, 8 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Please use edit summaries

edit

  Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! 32.218.47.159 (talk) 21:23, 9 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Laura Branigan

edit
Why do you think Laura Branigan was born in Brewster? Did the Branigan's live in Brewster? And in case, where? You have any address? Why do you think Laura's official website are true? Maybe they are just lying and spreading misleading facts? Do you trust them so much? What will you do if everything about Laura is wrong? Maybe she was born 1952 in Mount Kisco? Have you seen her ssn card? So sad, I have it in my Laura collection. Born 1952. And I can tell you you better think before you are editing things you don't have a clue off. There are sites telling the real truth about Laura. Just a google away. And btw, Branigan's lived at 8 Brundage Street in Armonk. I should know, though Laura's former neighbours from Armonk are my friends. I know them very well. They are upset of all shit wikipedia are spreading about their former friend. I suppose you didn't know, now you do. Ciao! And it is not necessary to contact me, though I am working with Laura's correct wiki with some friends from LA.--Born53 swe (talk) 22:05, 14 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
