Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 20:14, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Collectonian (talk) 15:44, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia policy, you can NOT use a non-free image on any user pages. That is why the bot removed the image from your user page, and why I removed it after you readded it. This is not a negotiable Wikipedia policy, but strongly enforced. Please find a free image to use if you want to decorate your user page. If you continue to disregard the warnings you have been given, you risk being blocked. Collectonian (talk) 18:14, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Lynching victim
Please don't read too much into my edit summary. I just don't see the reasoning behind changing "lynching victim" to "lynching subject", especially when the person in question's page is actually Henry Smith (lynching victim). Sorry for any perceived accusatory tone; I have had to revert a few past attempts to soften the history of Paris, and this seemed like another one. Also, lynchings are a very serious subject in American history, and people who have been lynched are most certainly "victims", no less so than people who are merely murdered.Athene cunicularia (talk) 22:08, 16 February 2010 (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.
