Help Tips
Being a member of the welcoming committee on Wikipedia I encourage you to help Wikipedia in any way you can to increase human knowledge. If you have credible information about a topic with verifiable references please feel free to add to that topic. If there is no article on that topic, why not start it, with time others will add to it and it may even make the featured articles list. By doing this, I have been able to make over 1500 page edits in both new articles, article improvement etc. Furthermore, I encourage you to aim to be a member of the autoconfirmed users[|autocomfirmed] group as this will greatly improve your Wikipedia experience. You can do this by making at least 10 credible edits on Wikipedia and remaining on Wikipedia for four (4) days. Check out this page for tips. . Crosstemplejay  talk. 18:09, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 18
Hi. When you recently edited List of University of Minnesota people, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Tom Brown and John McGovern (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.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Forest Lake, Minnesota. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Gtwfan52 (talk) 00:29, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Hello, I'm John from Idegon. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Forest Lake, Minnesota, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 21:02, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Forest Lake, Minnesota, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 03:45, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Marianne Edwards
Hi, Blastastic! I have reverted your recent addition to Marianne Edwards because you did not support it with a reference to a reliable published source. Please understand that this is not a judgement of your personal credibility, but a rule that applies to all biographies of living people to guard against the possibility of mischief (there are, unfortunately, enough people who would mischievously make a false claim about someone's death that the rule is necessary).

If you do happen to know of a reliable published source that has reported Marianne Edwards' death, please do add it to the article. You'd be doing a bunch of your fellow Wikipedians a favour; several of us have been looking for one for a while now, but not yet turned up anything that meets Wikipedia's standards for reliability. — Paul A (talk) 01:16, 12 December 2014 (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.
