Revert of reference "title" on Orion (spacecraft) page

I've reverted CmdrObot's "correction" of "Nasa" to "NASA". While I agree that "NASA" is correct, "Nasa" is how it is in the title of the BBC News article that the reference cites and should therefore read that way.

However, given how the "Brits" don't seem to know how to spell acronyms in the English language properly, I would be perfectly happy to see "BBC" replaced with "Bbc" in all articles...

Hi Beachgrinch. I've added an exception to my bot fot this, thanks for letting me know. It's an odd error, and I'd have expected better from the BBC — usually they're fairly good about this sort of thing. Cheers, CmdrObot (talk) 14:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Beachgrinch. I liked your comment on Depleted Uranium edit about DU not being used for depopulation -- Leuren Moret has built her personal appearance career around that very false statement - she even claims that 1943 Memo to Groves first established this dastardly policy - I could use help from you and others who see that as nonsense with not a single fact to support it -- thanks Roger - DUStory-owner@yahoogroups.com63.198.104.197 (talk) 06:03, 5 June 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.
