L.A. event on November 11 CANCELED
Due to health issues affecting one of the organizers, the third Wik-Ed Women editing session (originally scheduled for Tuesday, November 11) has been canceled. We expect the series to pick up again sometime in December. Sorry for the inconvenience, and hope to see you in the near future!

Refname rules
Hi. I'm here with a question about a sentence that you added to Refname rules:


 * If a name is quoted when defined, it must also be quoted for additional invocations (i.e.  is not the same as  ).

On first glance, this doesn't seem to be true. Gadget850 says that Sanitizer.php automatically adds quotes, so they should be the same, which matches my experience editing, namely that it doesn't matter if the definition or later invocations have optional quotes or not. But before changing anything, I was wondering if there is some rationale that we don't know about, in which case it should stay. Thanks. – Margin1522 (talk) 06:07, 26 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Here is an unquoted example and a use without quotes and a use with quotes . Here is a quoted example and a use without quotes and a use with quotes . And an attempt to redefine   as , which silently uses the existing definition of   instead.  Looks like it works. I'm sure that it did not at some point, but this must have been fixed, so feel free to correct it. Thanks. —&#91;   Alan M 1  (talk) &#93;— 20:59, 28 November 2014 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks. I think you're probably right, that at one point this was true. But since it apparently works now we'll just go ahead and change it and keep an eye on it. – Margin1522 (talk) 01:34, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Straw Poll
There is a straw poll that may interest you regarding the proper use of "Religion =" in infoboxes of atheists.

The straw poll is at Template talk:Infobox person.

Sorry for inadvertently deleting your vote
I apologize for mistakenly deleting your vote in the Infobox religion discussion. I was caught in an edit conflict, and I somehow erased your contribution. I did not mean to. Sorry. Plazak (talk) 14:26, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Hitler listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Hitler&#32;to the page Wikipedia:Most people who disagree with you on content are not vandals. Since you had some involvement with the Wikipedia:Hitler redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.

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.
