Triple Crown
Hi Roisterer. Not sure if you got my pings to Triple Crown/Nominations. If not, just wondering if you intend to complete your nomination by adding a DYK that you nominated yourself, as per the discussion there. If you are, I am happy for your nomination to remain open for the rest of the month, if not, i'll be removing it as it's been open for quite some time now. Have a nice day.

User:Roisterer/Šáňďβöχ/Celebrities who have edited their own page
Roisterer, please consider changing the name of this sandbox--it does not, of course, contain a list of celebrities who edited their own page, and that statement is really a BLP violation. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 02:34, 23 November 2015 (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.
