Regarding your logic.... I will expect you to delete ALL notable examples listed in the "cronyism" page as those examples should also only appear on the individuals pages, that is if we are going to be fair and logical. Until I see that happen, I will continue to reinstate my original edits. I will consider moderating my tone...maybe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uknowispeaksense (talk • contribs) 05:39, 17 February 2014‎

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.

Defries or DeFries
Hi, I wanted to give you a heads-up that I moved the page from Tony DeFries back to Tony Defries. My rationale is as follows. There seems to be some confusion over whether or not to capitalize the F in "defries." The BBC does. The book you mentioned does. The New York Times does currently. However, back in 1986, they didn't. And there are other newspapers which don't. The closest thing I can find to an official website is this LinkedIn profile. Based on that, it seems like he prefers it uncapitalized. So, I moved the article to "Tony Defries." If there is a more definitive source for the spelling—liner notes, legal documents, company website, etc.—I will gladly defer to that.

 * You're welcome. It's just my best guess, but hopefully an educated one. It's part-amusing, part-frustrating that even the New York Times hasn't been consistent of the years. -- GentlemanGhost  (converse)  01:12, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
