== "this thing you like to call encyclopedia, but what looks a lot more a MMORPG or social networking site." == Douze point, like the ancient Estonians used to say. Best, Oth (talk) 21:32, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism templates
Please read the introduction to WP:VANDAL especially the section of the lead which says: "Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. Edit warring over content is not vandalism." This edit isn't vandalism by any stretch of the imagination. Please don't template editors whose edits you disagree with.

 * At the time it seemed clear-cut POV-vandalism, but in hindsight I probably have to agree, I was too hasty labeling it so. With introduction of Euro in Estonia there have been many ultra-nationalistic opinions about "lost independence", so replacing 'sovereign state' with 'member of Union' in the introduction lit the red light for me. AGF, I know. Thanks for pointing this out. Põhja Konn (talk) 20:47, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, I'm just a bit down on mistemplating as it can drive new editors away but there's no harm done. I actually think the editor was on the right lines and the lead could do with a bit of a rewrite. If you look at the lead of the Lithuania and Latvia articles they cover the situation better sentences like "Latvia has been a member of the United Nations since September 17, 1991; of the European Union since May 1, 2004 and of the NATO since March 29, 2004" sections about the Soviet occupation, regained independence and the etymology is exactly the type of info that should be in the lead of the Estonia article. Right now some of the info and terminology about "sole official language", "sovereign state" etc looks a bit WP:POINTy. Valenciano (talk) 21:03, 19 January 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.
