Belmopan
There's been a definite improvement to the article since I tagged it, so that's fine. Computerjoe 's talk 21:47, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

wrong coordinates
Just the correct coordinates weren't entered. Should be OK now. Thanks  ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦       $1,000,000? 19:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: adding and removing blank links
Hello. I added and removed the blank lines based on where they were in the article. On Simeon López, I added the blank to separate the categories from the stub tag. On George Gabb, I removed the blank to show that the external link was a reference for the article. Whether a blank line should exist or not depends on the section of the article that the blank line is in. Captain panda  21:05, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Theodore Aranda
While you'll see the occasional exception that hasn't been cleaned up yet, we're not really supposed to use the category system to separate current from former members of a legislature. The main "Members of..." category is generally used to contain all people who have sat in the legislature whether they're current members or former ones, and then we use lists (e.g. 32nd Canadian Parliament) to get into the detail of when the person is or was a member. Then, if and when the category gets large enough to warrant subcategorization, they're usually recategorized by district and/or political party. Hope that helps a bit.

Israeli MIAs
I reverted the edits due to a lack of an official government position. Many politicians have over the years stated that almost all of the MIAs are dead - which is not government policy. I think we should just leave it as it - this week their situation could change drastically. Also, around here, Olmert's opinion is just about as far from general consensus as you can get. -ReuvenkT C 08:12, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Belize Intro Redo
I just wanted to let you know that I liked the restructure of the introduction that you did on the Belize article. I never liked the first sentence being that English was the official language or the structure but just didn't know how to fix it. I think that you did a good job.

The Latin-American Wikipedia Meeting


Tosão (talk) 19:29, 22 December 2008 (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.

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/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 Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina 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. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:31, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
