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.

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.

Athens of the North
Please could you provide additional citations (including up-to-date ones) for this edit. It would also be helpful to put something on Talk:Vilnius.-- Toddy1 (talk) 08:55, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Bujwid
Hi, I cannot find the info you added in the ref you cited Dictionary of Lithuanian surnames. I used the "Iveskite pavarde" window, it doesnt show anything related for words starting with 'Buj' or 'Bui'. Please clarify. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:26, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

You clearly did something wrong. :-) Buivydas:

Names of Lithuanian places in other languages
Please do not think I am kind of Polish nationalist; in fact I am of belarusian minority. (and since some my ancestors are from Hudahaj, I am wondering whether there is some ancient Lithuanian blood in me :-) My point with names in other languages is that over time some places were parts of different states with different languages. Therefore in historical sources translated into English non-native place names may be used. Therefore mentioning other names is beneficial for readers who may want to search for other information (Wikipedia is far form being complete, especially on lesser subjects). At the same time I agree that listing these names in the lead sentence is WP:UNDUE. I searched for wikipedia guidelines and found one: MOS:ALTNAME, which recommends to list alternative names in a separate section. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:39, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
 * P.S. IMO the name Endriejavas is more likely to be derived from the archaic Polish version of the name, Jędrzej (cf; Jędrzejów, Jędrzejewo ), but clearly I do not have sources. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:39, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Verkė moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Verkė, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. noq (talk) 14:54, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
