Hey
Sign up for the WikiCup 2014 (sign up here, it will be fun. We can help each other. And would you like to review the Many-banded krait article, which I nominated for GA status. It is nowhere near GA status, but when I'm done with it, it'll be a much expanded article. By the way, Black mamba has become a GA article. I plan going for FA when I have more time. --DendroNaja (talk) 00:56, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania
Hey there, I saw that you edited Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and had removed "the" from the name. However, it's not just part of the name to be grammatically correct but also part of the official name. The official names are:
 * Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania
 * Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania
 * Perelman School of Medicine

DMacks has since fixed the name for you. Thank you, The Haz talk 02:44, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Engineering. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 17:10, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

McGill University Page
Hey! I've noticed you've been quite active on the McGill page. In particular you've been editing two things in the introduction of the article:

1. The per student endowment of McGill university. I find this to be an unnecessary and overly specific piece of detail to put in the introduction. Not to mention the statement is in fact present in two different parts of the article (it's also mentioned in the Finances sub-section). Also, the statement is actually a grammatical oddity as there is a general rule in English grammar that you always follow a comma with the subject being talked about. For instance "Strong and brave, everyone liked Michael" is a wrong construction because the subject of the sentence (Michael) does not follow the comma. Similarly in the sentence "Valued at $36,711 per student, the University maintains one of the largest endowments among Canadian universities on a per-student basis", the subject of the sentence (the university's endowment) does not follow the comma, hence is a grammatical mistake. I think this statement needs to be immediately removed from the introduction.

2. I've noticed you undid my addition of rankings and a note of McGill's reputation from the lead citing a lack of citations and verifiability. McGill has been ranked number 1 in Canada for the last 10 years by MacLean's rankings. It's also maintained a Top 25 and Top 40 position in QS and Times WU Rankings. It has also received high employer reputation and technology ratings from The Globe and Mail and it's business school has been ranked 11th among non-US B-schools. All these have been backed up by relevant citations in the Rankings and Reputations sub section of the article. I believe all this qualifies McGill as a fairly prestigious university both in Canada and the world and deserving at least a one-line mention in the intro. This one-line mention about McGill's reputation could be backed by one or two citations (preferably QS and MacLean's rankings). Anyone wishing to look into greater detail about McGill's reputation and the validity of the claim can always look through the rankings and reputation sub-section and its abundance of references and links

Regards

Upapilot (talk)

Hmm.. I agree with your point that "prestigious" and "reputable" are rather vague terms. Alternatively, how about including a line stating that McGill has been consistently ranked among the best univs in Canada (rank 1 to 3) and one of the top 70 colleges in the world by different ranking agencies. This gives a rough outline about McGill's position in the domestic and global stage without being overly-biased towards one particular rank or making grandiose claims. -In dialogue with Upapilot 09:04, 26 May 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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:59, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for being one of Wikipedia's top medical contributors!

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:32, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
