Talk page formatting
Hi. :) First, let me welcome you to Wikipedia. I hope that the template above will be useful to you; I know I made use of the one given to me for quite some time after I first came aboard.

I dropped by because I happened upon the conversation at Talk:List of State Applications for an Article V Convention and thought that I could clarify for you how conversations are formatted on Wikipedia. I can see you've already picked up on the tricks of signing your posts with four tildes and sectioning content. That leaves indentation, which is pretty simple and set out at Help:Introduction to talk pages/Layout. (One thing that description doesn't do, though, is address multiple paragraphs: you have to use the : to indent in front of each paragraph to make clear that all content is yours.) I've fixed the formatting at that conversation so that others will be able to follow along.

If you're interested, you can read more about talk page practices at Talk page guidelines.

Again, welcome. Happy editing! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:33, 10 July 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.

Conflict of interest
Hello, Utesfan100. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article List of state applications for an Article V Convention, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. --Guy Macon (talk) 04:22, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
