List of County-Designated Highways in Michigan ‎
You can stop editing. I have a table in a sandbox set to replace all of those sections. It's about halfway done and should be finished later tonight. All of those infoboxes and the text paragraphs next to them will be disappearing once I copy it over.

Also, we can't use http://www.michiganhighways.org/ as a source. It's self-published, and the website's author has not been judged to be an expert on highway history.  Imzadi 1979  →   22:24, 10 August 2015 (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.

September 2017
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 13:41, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Chris Scelfo into Ed Orgeron. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:08, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of sponsored sports venues, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Texas Rangers and Orlando Solar Bears ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/List_of_sponsored_sports_venues check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/List_of_sponsored_sports_venues?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
