My apologies, I mistakenly thought that the consistent and numerous edits made were vandalism at work. Please accept my humble apologies. Thanks. Khairulash (talk) 19:44, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Thomas More, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Henry VII (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:01, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Title additions

Hello, I'm not a fan of adding all of those "The Honorable" into infoboxes of US officeholders. The United States does not have royalty. It is the *office* not the person who holds a title. So someone might be "Honorable" while being a judge, but would lose that distinction after retirement. Even in rare cases where they might keep it ("President"), it's rarely a defining or important trait. Nobody talks to Cabinet members as "The Honorable", it's just "Secretary". I think most of your changes should be undone - do you have any thoughts? SnowFire (talk) 04:02, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

I agree with SnowFire above.

Wikipedia Manual of Style says:

Honorific prefixes In general, styles and honorifics should not be included in front of the name, but may be discussed in the article. [...] There are some exceptions: Where an honorific is so commonly attached to a name that the name is rarely found in English reliable sources without it, it should be included. For example, the honorific may be included for "Father Coughlin" (currently at Charles Coughlin) and Mother Teresa.

This case does not count for that exception (or any other, such as for royalty, nobility, and clergy). SilverLocust (talk) 04:58, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

I see you are continuing to add "The Honorable" to all these infoboxes. Please stop or slow down and explain your actions. It causes a great deal of needless churn if all these need to be undone. Please establish a consensus that this is a good idea first, then you can make these changes. SnowFire (talk) 17:28, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Per above, I will remove as I see them.Djflem (talk) 23:37, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

As above, I agree as well and have also removed them where they still exist. Tiller54 (talk) 08:48, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Your contributed article, 2016 United States House of Representatives sit-in

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, 2016 United States House of Representatives sit-in. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – 2016 House Democrats sit-in. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at 2016 House Democrats sit-in – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. OnionRing (talk) 06:47, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I've just realised that your newer article is a lot better written than the older one, which is only a day old anyway. So I've tagged the two for merge instead. Thanks, OnionRing (talk) 06:51, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. I was looking around before I created it but couldn't find the original article.--Ministre d'État (talk) 06:57, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Subcommittees in Infoboxes

Please do not add subcommittee chairmanships/ranking memberships to infoboxes like you did at Ben Quayle and Jason Chaffetz. It's unnecessary information that frankly is not needed in the box (it's often down below in the "committee assignments" section) and no other representatives have it.

File:DenisDillon.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.
