Articles for deletion/Denise Spellberg
Hi. Comments on AfD debates should be added at the bottom. You added yours at the top, I moved it to the bottom, you added essentially the same comment again at the top, so I have deleted the second one. You are at liberty to add anything more you want, but please do it at the bottom of the page, and note that each user can comment as much as s/he likes, but should only !vote once. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:27, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Two other tips - the way to get "Keep" or "Delete" to come out in bold is to put three single quote marks each end, not one single and one double - I've done that for you on your "Keep" - and it's useful to "sign" posts on talk pages and AfD debates so that everyone knows who said what and when: you can do that easily by ending your post with four tilde characters ~ which the system converts into a signature with your username and the time and date - like this: JohnCD (talk) 19:34, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia contains spoilers
Please do not delete or flag potential "spoilers" in Wikipedia articles, as you did in the article The House of the Scorpion. It is generally expected that the subjects of Wikipedia articles will be covered in detail, and giving a section a title such as "Plot" or "Ending" is considered sufficient warning to the reader that the text will contain revelations about the narrative. Deleting such information makes the article less useful for a reader who is specifically trying to find out more about the subject. For more information, see Wikipedia's guidelines on spoilers. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 01:59, 1 December 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.

Survey Invite
I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=eYcEJhpD4guKGZT_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_2s4elKCK3F19pnT&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 19:57, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
