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.

Copyright problem on Lucille Tenazas
Material you included in the above article appears to have been copied from the copyright web page http://www.designindaba.com/profiles/lucille-tenazas or elsewhere. Copying text directly from a source is a copyright violation. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions or if you think I made a mistake. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:30, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I have answered on your talk page, as indicated, saying: I did not copy anything from the site you mention. Can you please be more specific. The only similarities I find are in elements like her titles Associate Dean and Henry Wolf Professor in the School of Art, Media and Technology (AMT) at Parsons The New School for Design in New York, which is not something anyone can claim copyright for, or her list of clients, ditto..--Megustalastrufas (talk) 15:42, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

My “PD-4501 Scenicruiser” reverted
Hey there, I deleted “and provided a 360-degree view from the upper level” from article “PD-4501 Scenicruiser” because my first-hand experiences and my research indicate a falsehood, and because the claim has no citation. The bus has a corner lavatory, and a painted mock-rear-window; both obscure a 360 degree view from the interior. I rode those buses often in the 1970's, so I looked for materials that might have made a 360 degree view claim, and found none. I also looked for pics to support my deletion and found several. I'm interested in any citation you may have found to warrant a reversion of my work. Was I correct in making the deletion per Wikipedia guidelines on account that I believed the “360 view” assertion to be inaccurate and was unable to find any information to the contrary? Thanks, and Happy Trails, Mikebreakrun3 (talk) 05:18, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Mikebreakrun3, thanks for your comment. I have done a similar search as yours, and have indeed come to the conclusion that you are absolutely right. I revert my oown edit. With apologies, --Megustalastrufas (talk) 12:39, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Marrakesh, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sabra ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Marrakesh check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Marrakesh?client=notify fix with Dab solver]).

Request to Assist COI Editor
Hello User:Megustalastrufas.

I am currently working with Dictionary.com in a COI/paid relationship to assist them with updates. Following the ascribed Wikipedia rules for such, I am seeking assistance from a volunteer editor to help with these updates. I have a couple already requested/posted on the article talk page. I was wondering if you would consider assisting me? Along with the already posted requests, they would like to add more information about their sister site Thesaurus.com in the near future. You will note that another volunteer editor added the request edit tag in my request which added it to the list of 222 COI requests awaiting review that now dates back to November. I was using this template last year with great success with User Spintendo at the helm. Over the past 6 - 8 months it has gotten bogged down. If possible, I am looking for an alternative to the 4-month backlog. Thank you for your consideration. If you are willing and able to assist, we can continue our conversation on the article talk page. Best, LeepKendall (talk) 16:54, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

What is etymology?
Hello. I am contacting you because of a discussion about etymology on another website, Final Fantasy Fandom. That wiki gives a definition of etymology, followed by a link to Wikipedia etymology page (their page here), and then features 2700 etymologies (list here), almost all of them being similar to these three:
 * Etymology of absolute zero: Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature. More formally, it is the temperature at which entropy reaches its minimum value.
 * Etymology of fire: Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products.
 * Etymology of Shiva: Shiva (also spelled Śiva) is a Hindu god. The Hindu Shiva once saved the world by consuming poison, giving him blue skin around the area of the neck and throat. [etc. etc.]

Are these three examples etymologies, or not? Since you are an active member of Wikipedia Linguistics Project and Wikipedia Etymology Task Force, your opinion could solve the discussion (if you prefer to avoid any involvement, just write it, I will understand). Thank you in advance for your time and attention. --Abacos (talk) 11:58, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for contacting. Those are NOT examples of etymology. Those are simple definitions. For instance, an etymology of fire would say From Old English fȳr (noun), fȳrian ‘supply with material for a fire’, of West Germanic origin; related to Dutch vuur and German Feuer, therefore discussing the origin of the word, rather than the chemical reaction itself. That said, I am not going to click on any of the links, as they are outside Wikipedia. I hope this is helpful enough.--Megustalastrufas (talk) 09:00, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your kind answer. For your information, I agree with you, while the Final Fantasy Fandom states that etymology means "detailing the origins of terminology used in the series in regards to real world culture and history". --Abacos (talk) 13:23, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
