Unreferenced BLPs

Hello GundersonM! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 688 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Ronney Jenkins - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Harold Arceneaux - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Steve Sarkisian

GundersonM, Just a heads up that I reverted your recent edit at Steve Sarkisian. There may have been a few good things in that edit, but you introduced a slew of bad formatting in place of good stuff. A few examples:

1. All scores and won-loss records should be punctuated with an endash, not a hyphen; see Dash.
2. The names of books, movies, albums, and periodicals such as TV Guide should be italicized.
3. You always want to wikilink to the most relevant article. For example, when you talk about BYU beating Fresno State in football you want to link to Fresno State Bulldogs football or even something like 2010 Fresno State Bulldogs football team if an article for a specific year exists and is relevant. Linking to Fresno State just redirects to California State University, Fresno, the article for the less-relevant university at large.

Real Salt Lake

Good work on all the information you added to the Real Salt Lake site. Just a word of advice: you REALLY REALLY need to add some inline citations and references into your writing, as per WP:CITE, otherwise you could find it all being deleted as being unsourced. Cheers!

Ty Detmer

Hello, nice work at Ty Detmer. You might be interested in WikiProject National Football League or WikiProject College football. Just a couple of things, however:

• Don't remove wikilinks to football teams, as discussed above on your talk page. The football teams should most certainly be linked such as [[Florida State Seminoles football|Florida State]].
• Be careful when copyediting: you changed "Detmer's final college-career statistics are ..." to "Detmer's finished college with the following career totals ..."; the "'s" shouldn't have been there in the second phrase.

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.
