Greed
Hi. I'm trying to get Greed (film) promoted to FA again if you are interested in taking another look at it.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 01:56, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi again. I think that the FA review is winding down so I was just making one last attempt to see if you would renew your support of the articles promotion. Thank you for your previous support either way.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 20:37, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Metro Goldwyn Mayer / Columbia Pictures
Lord of the Flies is distributed by Metro Goldwyn Mayer. 
 * Yes, Lord of the Flies is currently distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. In the late 90's, through acquisition, the film became part of extensive MGM home video library. In any list of films by studio (such as MGM) we include only movies produced or theatrically distributed by a particular studio (in this case it's a Columbia release).

Wikipedia email re Newspapers.com signup
HazelAB (talk) 14:47, 8 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi El Matador, I just tried sending you an email message regarding signup for Newspapers.com. It contains a link to a short form you need to fill out, and a link to register at Newspapers.com. However, I got a "delivery failed" message: " SMTP error from remote mail server ..." Would you mind checking to see that the email address you have specified in your English Wikipedia Preferences is valid? Thanks! HazelAB (talk) 14:53, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello,, I've sent you an email. El Matador (talk) 13:18, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I tried again. Please let me know if you didn't receive it. Thanks. HazelAB (talk) 13:42, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi again, fortunately, I've received the message sent from your email address. I've successfully completed the registration and filled out the Google form. The failure arises apparenty from my email account setup. I will try to fix this later. Thank you very much for your patience. All the best, El Matador (talk) 14:18, 9 March 2015 (UTC).
 * Good, I'm glad you received it! Newspapers.com still has to activate your account before you have full access. That should be done later this week. Cheers, HazelAB (talk) 14:32, 9 March 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.
