User talk:Katiker

Welcome!

Hello , and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

At Wikipedia, new Users do not automatically receive a welcome; not even a machine-generated welcome. Welcome messages come from other Users. They are personal and genuine. They contain an offer of assistance if such assistance is ever desired.

I suggest to everyone I welcome that they may find some of the following helpful &mdash; there’s nothing personal in my suggestion and you may not need any of them: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Dolphin ( t ) 07:08, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made&#32;to Society of Jesus: you may already know about them, but you might find Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you.--M4gnum0n (talk) 19:44, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Please do not edit North Albion Collegiate Institute if you are putting fake informatiom. Intoronto1125 (talk) 21:17, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * My apologies; reviewing the edit it looks like I was manually following up to something that was flagged by Stiki, a vandalism detector. Random insertion of names is a common form of vandalism. Katiker (talk) 00:08, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

On the same topic, this edit chopped out some rubbish that deserved to die, but it wasn't vandalism, it was good-faith incompetence. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 13:57, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * That would be why I didn't warn the user at the time that I handled the edit. The message generated by Stiki is automatic; it flags things that it views as vandalism. If I believe it's a good faith edit, then I do not warn the user. It would be too time consuming to go into each article to manually edit, I believe that's why Stiki is there.

Timeline of Philippine–American War article
I see that you have edited the Timeline of Philippine–American War article in the not too distant past. I have recently started on a rewrite of that article, and am soliciting input and participation from interested editors. If interested, please see Talk:Timeline of Philippine–American War for more info. Please comment there as appropriate. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 03:40, 5 June 2011 (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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:27, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
