Your Spelling Changes

Please read the Manual of Style on spelling. You are changing articles about non-British (or -Commonwealth) spellings to British (or Commonwealth). This violates Wikipedia guidelines, and irritates a lot of people. Good luck, and welcome. --Justice for All 12:29, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Your spelling changes to Playhouse Square Center have been reverted. Please do not change American spellings to Commonwealth spellings in articles about American places. Please see the Manual of Style if you have any questions about this policy. Thank you. Confiteordeo 20:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. It's just important that everyone know the Manual of Style guidelines, because that helps avoid a lot of unnecessary stress and yelling, and in some cases, changing spelling can break links. I really do appreciate your effort to improve the article, though! Good luck, and I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia!  :-) --Confiteordeo 22:27, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Institute of Religion

Please don't remove templates without doing the requisite work on the articles. If you're not sure what needs doing, the templates contain links to helpful documents. If you're still not sure, leave it for someone else to do. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:32, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

That's OK. There are various problems (from memory, they include "curriculum" treated as a plural noun, and the like). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:51, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Your edits on Nancy Pelosi

Thank you for attempting to correct the grammar on the Nancy Pelosi page! However, instead of improving the grammar, this introduced a grammatical error. Please familiarize yourself with English grammar before making such corrections to articles. More information is available on Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Enjoy your time on the internet's fastest growing encyclopædia/encyclopedia. Thank you. Xiner (talk, email) 17:24, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

League of Copyeditors participation drive!

Dear League member,

We've started a participation drive for the remainder of February. If you can, please help clear the backlog by adopting the following goals each week:

• Select an article to copy-edit from the backlog. After your copy-edit, list the article in the articles ready for final proofread section.
• Select a different article to proofread from the articles ready for final proofread section.

Thanks for your help! BuddingJournalist 01:40, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

League of Copyeditors roll call

Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there. The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors.

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.
