Relax duplicate linking rule (again!)

You might be interested to see that I'm reopening the issue of duplicate links at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Linking#Relax_duplicate_linking_rule. --Slashme (talk) 21:44, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Rollback

Hi Lwarrenwiki. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! kelapstick^(bainuu) 19:25, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Baseball's Sad Lexicon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Boston Braves. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Juris Doctor

First, the edits I made to multiple pages changing "Juris Doctorate" to "Juris Doctor" were constructive regardless of any semantic disagreement we may have over the need to include the word "degree" after the latter phrase. A "Juris Doctorate" does not exist; it is a misnomer and its inclusion in any page on this site is in error. Thus any change of "Juris Doctorate" to "Juris Doctor" contributes positively to the accuracy of a page and should not be disturbed.

Second, the word "degree" does not need to immediately follow "Juris Doctor" for the term to be correct. It would be correct say "I earned my Ph.D." just as it would also be correct to say "I earned my Ph.D. degree." The same principle applies to the "Juris Doctor." Additionally, the term "Juris Doctor" is often abbreviated to "J.D." or "JD," both of which may be used correctly without the inclusion of "degree" immediately afterward. The term "Juris Doctor" refers to the degree itself rather than the holder.

As evidence of my second point, please see this page, which shows the terminology used by Harvard Law School: http://hls.harvard.edu/dept/academics/degree-programs/. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.3.43.230 (talk) 21:38, 13 November 2015 (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.

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
