Hi Boils. Please sign your posts.

Hi. I see that you occasionally edit Wikipedia articles, which is great, and also that you occasionally post your opinion about things on the article talk pages, which is also fine. However, if you could, please sign your comments by putting four "tildes" (this thing ~ ) after them. This automatically signs your user name and gives the time of your post. If you don't do this, some Wikipedians are going to jump to the erroneous assumption that you're just an anonymous troublemaker. (And if you don't sign, somebody is probably going to check the page history and add your user name to your posts anyway, but it looks better if you just sign your own posts yourself.) Have a good one. :-) -- Writtenonsand 13:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to John Forbes Nash, you will be blocked from editing. Quaeler (talk) 09:12, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

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.
