Hi, I also appreciate your edits, but please only mark truly minor edits as such. See Help:Minor edit. All of your minor edits I checked so far do not qualify as minor, especially those that change or expand content. - Taxman ^Talk 17:16, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Profanity at Talk:Brian Leiter

Hi. You added "{{profanity}}" to Talk:Brian Leiter. Unfortunately that template was deleted a few months ago. The only profanity I found on that page is the word "Bullsh*t", which we need to use because Prof Leiter himself describes his controversial political writing on his blogs as a "no bullsh*t" style (without the asterisk). So I've removed that template. I hope you don't mind. Cheers, CWC(talk) 16:02, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I have responded on my talk page. Note that it is conventional to leave messages at the bottom of a talk page. –Joke 16:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I have no idea what your talk page post means. Rjm656s 20:56, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Please don't edit while under the influence...Archibald99 13:34, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Ron Hextall. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Richard0612 14:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC) Edit was not vandalism ><Richard0612 15:10, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hey

Yeah, I do. Do I know you? - CrazyRussian talk/email 14:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Seriously now, what are these personal questions on my talk page? And which firm do you work at? Once again - do I know you - do we actually have anything to discuss - or are you just trolling my user talk page? - CrazyRussian talk/email 14:55, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Duh...

Sorry! I have been looking at so much vandalism and silliness today I must have got carried away. Of course adding such information is not vandalism, and I do apologise. Warning removed. ><Richard0612 15:09, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Active politician tag

Please stop putting active politician tags on main pages. They are supposed to go on talk pages. I have already reversed over 5 of these. Please stop or you will get warningsGdo01 15:37, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Hah, yes, I did write those articles, and though I don't believe I've ever been complimented in that way before, I appreciate it. · j e r s y k o talk · 14:05, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Roni Lynn Deutch

Dear fellow editor: Your input could be valuable regarding the article Roni Lynn Deutch at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Roni_Lynn_Deutch

My personal view is that the article is pretty much an advertisement, even if the article wasn't put there by Ms. Deutch herself -- but you may have a different perspective. Yours, Famspear 20:00, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Football hooliganism

Hello there, another use similar to Metb82 is removing information regarding Turkish hooliganism from the Football hooliganism article. I was wondering if you share your views. Thanks. Englishrose 17:43, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Notability. No sources.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --aktsu ^(t / c) 20:12, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

Hi Bona Fides,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

• Each casebook will have a subpage.

• Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
• It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
• Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.

• I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.

2. If you're a law student,

• Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
• Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.

(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)

3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

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.
