Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited List of Kappa Sigma chapters, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bethel College (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.

Hunter College is the correct full name
I noticed that you previously reverted my edit at List of Kappa Sigma chapters, in which I noted that "Hunter College" is the official name of that university. You can see from the discussion page of the article, Talk:Hunter_College, that TODAY the name of the article has been correctly moved back to "Hunter College", as that is how the university wishes to be known, and it is also their official full name ("About Hunter"). Do not try to move this article again, because the consensus of several editors arrived at the decision to keep the name "Hunter College".

Unfortunately, your original move was ill-informed. --Skol fir (talk) 19:31, 9 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Varscona72, it is also worth pointing out that if you would have done your homework before trying to change the name of the "Hunter College" article, you would have seen that there are over 950 pages on Wikipedia that currently link to "Hunter College". Please consider that next time you try to move any page. By mistakenly renaming the article, without checking with other editors, you inadvertently caused over 950 potential redirects on Wikipedia for "Hunter College", which also supports the fact that "Hunter College" is the most preferred title for this university.


 * The same problem applies to your move of "Brooklyn College". If you check their website, they prefer to call it only "Brooklyn College" (look at their contact address, and the "About" and "Our Campus"). Someone will have to reverse that move as well. It is made more difficult by the fact that a redirect page for "Brooklyn College" has to be physically deleted by a senior administrator, in order for the article to get its proper name back.


 * Be very careful how you use the "move" function, as it is can cause a lot of headaches if improperly used. Before completing a move, you get a warning -- "Warning! This can be a drastic and unexpected change for a popular page; please be sure you understand the consequences of this before proceeding." I also recommend that you spend some time learning the basic rules of Wikipedia as you were already advised to do above, by Naraht (talk), so that you can avoid making drastic changes that waste everybody's time, if and when the mistake has to be reversed or fixed. --Skol fir (talk) 03:05, 10 April 2012 (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.
