Welcome!
Hello, Bobby Martnen, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

Bruce Jenner is under Discretionary Sanctions
-- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  18:24, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Further, to quote the Manning Naming Dispute case The standard discretionary sanctions adopted in Arbitration/Requests/Case/Sexology for (among other things) "all articles dealing with transgender issues" remain in force. For the avoidance of doubt, these discretionary sanctions apply to any dispute regarding the proper article title, pronoun usage, or other manner of referring to any individual known to be or self-identifying as transgender
 * To make this very explicit; in your recent edits you've been uniformly referring to Caitlyn Jenner by male pronouns. This is both incredibly rude and in quite clear violation of pretty much all the policy in the relevant area. Please do better in the future. Ironholds (talk) 01:59, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Free Speech - this is America. To paraphrase the great Billy Joel, "He can call himself Caitlyn, but he's always Bruce Jenner to me." Even if he calls himself a woman, guess what? He still has a Y-chromosome. Even if he gets the sex change surgery, he won't be able to lactate, menstruate, or give birth. He will merely be a feminized man.

 * Just because someone claims to be something they are not does not mean we all have to play along with their delusions. I could say that I identify as the president of the USA, but that wouldn't oblige anyone to refer to me as "President Martnen". The same is true of Mr. Jenner. Just because he says he identifies as a woman, that doesn't oblige me to refer to him as "Caitlyn", "Ms. Jenner", or "her". Bobby Martnen (talk)

MOS:IDENTITY is being revisited: How should Wikipedia refer to transgender individuals before and after their transition?
You are being contacted because you contributed to a recent discussion of MOS:IDENTITY that closed with the recommendation that Wikipedia's policy on transgender individuals be revisited.

Two threads have been opened at the Village Pump:Policy. The first addresses how the Manual of Style should instruct editors to refer to transgender people in articles about themselves (which name, which pronoun, etc.). The second addresses how to instruct editors to refer to transgender people when they are mentioned in passing in other articles. Your participation is welcome.

Disambiguation link notification for October 22
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cafrenbach, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Assyrian. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:46, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Treaty of Kraków move
Hello Bobby Martnen, I have reverted your change of the article title for now. Copy/pasting the content from one article page to another doesn't copy the article history for attribution, and is generally discouraged. If a move is not possible because the target page already exists, or the move is technically complex, or may be controversial: such moves should be requested (see Requested moves for more information). In this specific case, "Treaty of Kraków" may be the more consistent title - the Kraków article itself is also named with this spelling. But such points would be discussed in a move request anyway. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 01:10, 24 October 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.

Hello, I'm Sundayclose. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Pope John Paul I, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history 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.

Cafrenbach listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Cafrenbach. Since you had some involvement with the Cafrenbach redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Cordless Larry (talk) 13:22, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
