  Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Counterculture of the 1960s. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mlpearc (powwow) 16:22, 19 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Referencing an article that you have authored is not a reliable source and falls into Wikipedia:No original research Mlpearc (powwow) 16:26, 19 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Mlpearc is incorrect about this. As long as the source is not self-published, it can certainly be a reliable source. However, as part of our conflict of interest policy, citing oneself is discouraged. Yworo (talk) 18:43, 19 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

  The New Editor's Barnstar
Bmankin1, I hereby award you this barnstar for your first edits to Wikipedia, which look good to me.. in particular, for your helpful edits to music festival articles. Well done, you are off to a great start! :-) Mlm42 (talk) 18:01, 31 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

A barnstar for you!

  The Editor's Barnstar
For all your recent oversight and additions to the rock festival page. I tend to work on neglected topics because it kind of cuts down on social interaction/stress, but it's a double-edged sword in that sometimes I feel like I'm editing in a vacuum - seeing your edits (and they have all been very thoughtful and helpful) has been a delightful change of pace. Thanks! Earflaps (talk) 21:08, 8 June 2015 (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.

  Hello, I'm CAPTAIN RAJU. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Mel Lawrence, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! CAPTAIN RAJU () 17:02, 6 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
