Web 2.0 edit

If you are going to do something as potentially confrontational as posting a peacock on a very active article like Web 2.0, could you at least open a dicussion on your reasoning so that it can be resolved?

For some reason, the whole topic seems to raise emotions on both sides - it seems to be either a holy grail or the anti-christ (depending on the position) - in reality it is neither, it is a term coined to describe a shift in the way many people were thinking about and/or using the technology across the Internet. Sure, it gets hyped up by the evangelists, but there is a generally accepted definition (quoted and cited in the article); this is a term used in the media, industry, and increasingly by the general population.

Could you lay out which aspects you regard as subjective, then there can be an open (and no doubt heated) discussion about it, but hopefully the article that results will be better for it. Thanks. Greyskinnedboy (talk) 02:11, 24 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've made it easier by opening the discussion there: Does this article promote the subject in a subjective manner?. Greyskinnedboy (talk) 02:36, 24 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

SAF edit

Hello Axel, quite obviously Swedish Employers Association is a highly relevant article, and it'd be good to have more articles on the Swedish labour market and its history in English. A tip is to add language links to other projects already when you create the article, see Help:Interwiki linking. This could help those unfamiliar with the subject and non-English sources to understand that there is relevance to the project. In the text, they look like this: [[sv:Svenska Arbetsgivareföreningen]]. If you add them directly when an article is created, in the first edit, they will also be picked up by a bot, which means that the reverse link (from Swedish to English, in this case) will be created automatically. If you wish, you can also add project tags for WP:SWEDEN on the talk page when you have created a new article related to Sweden. Regards, Tomas e (talk) 13:28, 3 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Stories of Your Life and Others edit

Hi, I noticed that you created Stories of Your Life and Others, but listed no sources for the information contained in the article. According to Wikipedia's content policies, all information must be verifiable from reliable sources. Therefore, it's necessary to cite your sources so other editors can check that the information included in the article is correct and matches the sources used. Information not previously published in such sources is prohibited as original research, since other editors can't verify it. Unsourced information may be challenged and removed at any time, and articles that can't be verified are likely to be deleted. Guidance on how to cite your sources is available, and if you need any further help, feel free to leave a message on my talk page.--Unscented (talk) 15:49, 20 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

You should come hang out with us on the internetz! edit

Hi! I wanted to let you know that we have created an IRC channel for "countering systemic bias one new editor at a time", aka closing the gender gap! Come hang out at #wikimedia-gendergap if that subject interests you. We hope this channel can serve as a safe haven to hang out, talk about Wiki, brainstorming, increasing women's participation in Wikimedia, article alerts and foster friendships. I hope you join us! (And if you need any IRC help, just let me know!) See you there! SarahStierch (talk) 22:21, 21 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

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.
