Hi,

Nice work with the changes here. That's a significant improvement on the wording I had. Cheers! Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 14:53, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

IMI Galil
Thank you for your efforts in organizing the Galil article with subheaders. I am having a rather large disagreement with User:Koalorka who does not seem to feel that section headers are appropriate, but as you can see he tends to revert them without discussing and with unhelpful edit summaries such as "ughh no". I have been attempting to discuss this matter with him at MP5 and SG 550 - if you would like to look at the subsections I have implemented in those articles and add your opinion to the associated talk pages, this would be very much appreciated.

 * What the hell did you do to the article? Why did you remove entire cited sections?! I have to spend 20 mins cleaning up after you! Koalorka (talk) 18:09, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea what you are talking about. I have not edited the IMI Galil page since early July, and I have never "removed entire cited sections". Strangways (talk) 15:09, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Relax Strangways, User:Koalorka was talking to User:Some guy about the intentional blanking of an entire cited section by Some guy on the article of IMI Galil. And since this is your own discussion page, you may want to clean it up after this to prevent things from heating up as I'd really hate to see K getting into trouble for something he did not do or meant to say. Cheers~! -- Dave1185 talk 15:33, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited ArmaLite AR-18, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page M16 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

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.
