Hello, I'm Theroadislong. I noticed that you recently removed some content from William Lane Craig without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 14:50, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Death and state funeral of Kim Jong-il, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Republican Party and John Huntsman (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

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.

Nicknames
Hi referring to your edit summary — (Again, nicknames do not go in the introduction, as per WP:Lead Section. They go into the "names" section (such as in the case of Hong Kong). LA and Japan do not have nicknames in the intro either) Please note that the entire Lead section is called the Intro. And all 3 examples, LA, NYT, HK have nicknames in their Intro. Do quote the actual guidelines from WP:Lead to substantiate your claim on this or any other issues.

And in case you overlooked my reply to you earlier, I have copied them here: Your edit summary - (nicknames do not go in the lead paragraph. e.g. Lead for Alabama does not say Alabama, or the "Heart of Dixie"...). My reply — See Los Angeles, Japan etc, some even have them in their infobox. Your post on my Talk page — Hi Shiok, as per Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(geographic_names)#General_guidelines it does recommend that "Alternatively, all alternative names can be listed and explained in a "Names" or "Etymology" section immediately following the lead, or a special paragraph of the lead; it is recommended to have such a section if there are at least three alternate names, or there is something notable about the names themselves." Japan's nickname (actually its literal translation) is included on the second sentence.
 * Hi 23haveblue thanks for the link. Not sure if you realise it, but the guides are actually favorable to the status quo and may be why the earlier editors have place the names there. For instance, the guidelines does not limit the number of names on the first line. The example provided even shows four names, whereas the Singapore article has only three. In this case, we do not need to consider "alternately.."

We depend on policies and guidelines but if you insist on examples, there are thousands of cities, states, countries to search! and I'm certain there will be many - even on the first paragraph of the intro section. I am taking time to expand my answer as you were courteous earlier and I would like this to end amicably hope you agree. Lastly, it's important to read WP:BRD to discuss before reverting again.
