User talk:Mbeatty

Hi Mbeatty. The information you added has already been on the Scuba page once, and is now available on Scuba diving, the page you have altered is a disambiguation page, which lists different meanings of a term, and these meanings link to pages with more extensive information. Disambiguation pages are not generally used as Wikipedia information pages as such, and the information you've added doesn't actually link to another page. If you look through the Scuba page history, you'll see that several people have contributed to the page and arrived at it's current form. I'm not suggesting that you can't contribute (far from it) but that you might like to look through the page history before making changes. And if you do make a change, could you please make an descriptive note about the change in the Edit summary box provided. Cheers. Andy.--Andy Wade 08:59, 3 October 2006 (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.
