  Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Fianna Fáil. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. Wine Guy~Talk 18:53, 24 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your recent edits

edit

  Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:52, 14 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Child sexual abuse. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 03:00, 15 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Child sexual abuse blocks. Thank you. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 16:05, 18 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Warning on multiple accounts

edit

Hi. Please remember that Wikipedians are generally generally restricted to one account, and using multiple accounts to avoid scrutiny or to make it seem like multiple people have the same opinion is not allowed. To that end, your other two accounts have been blocked from editing. Going forward, limit your edits to only this account, and be sure to log in when you edit. (Logging out to achieve the same effect as above is also unacceptable.) If you continue to edit from other accounts, however, you may be blocked from editing. Thanks. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 16:16, 19 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

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.
