December 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Greater Manchester Police. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Hello, instead of just reverting back to the revision before, it is more "in tone" with Wikipedia rules if you add information/fact tags to good information already on the page, rather than just "whitewashing" information already present.

UK

Please see Terminology of the British Isles, in the section "Lingustic terms", which explains that "British" is the adjective which describes the UK. "UK" is not an adjective. Thank you. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:30, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Wrong again - UK is the correct term. Using British to include Northern Ireland or the north of Ireland is at best sloppy and to many residents of that area offensive.Plumtree100 (talk)

To quote the page that you yourself referred me to: "British is an adjective pertaining to the United Kingdom; for example, a citizen of the UK is often described as a British citizen." Funny how you refer me to a WP page until it's pointed out to you that it doesn't agree with you! As I have said, UK is not an adjective. To use it as such is extremely bad English. Are OTC cadets at Queen's members of the UK Army? No, they're members of the British Army. Are members of the OTC (who are by definition British soldiers) likely to be offended at being called British? I doubt it. I suggest you check your facts before you incorrectly accuse people of being wrong. -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:33, 20 December 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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:58, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
