 * Thanks, that all looks to be helpful. I don't expect to spend so much time here as to become an expert but I hopefully while here I won't create work for others if I can get it right the first or second time.

Past editing?
I didn't have a problem with that edit you just did, but your edit summary showed you are very experienced in editing wikipedia, even though you have only edited under this name a few times. Unfortunately, I've had a lot of problems with socks on controversial issues, and this has been one. So I do have to ask if you have done extensive editing as an AnonIP, have changed or have another user name with or without following proper procedures or what? Just wondering. Thanks.

 * This may be unsatisfactory but while I've done some editing professionally and at other wikis, I don't think I've done anything that warrants such scrutiny, so I'll decline to answer the questions you've posed, not because I have a problem in those areas, but because they seem to be of the "fishing" sort. Seems to be an odd welcome, don't you think?


 * Fact is, I believe that you've corrected some of my entries for form, to which I take no offense. I'm not so experienced but rather I try to be observant of practices and protocols.  Will I err in the future?  No doubt.  What are socks? Vttor (talk) 20:45, 20 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I've had a bad week. So welcome! I've found such questions tend to chase WP:Socks away fairly quickly. It took me a long time to figure out alot of policies and write a decent edit summary so anyone who is too good too soon is suspicious to me. CarolMooreDC (talk) 20:56, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed that you attempted to file a deletion discussion but did not complete the process. Please note that, when listing an article for deletion, a discussion page needs to be made for other users to discuss whether to keep or delete the article. This is typically done by following the steps listed here. Note that if you are editing as an unregistered user, you cannot create a discussion page. Please consider registering an account or asking another user to help you complete the process at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion. Thank you.

Thanks for the heads up
This was a tiny stub of a thing back in 2006 when he was a minor candidate for national office; nevertheless, I've merged the info about Greg Parke (politician) to 2004 Vermont U.S. congressional election, per WP:POLITICIAN and WP:PRESERVE. -- Kendrick7talk 05:48, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll work on what can be established via WP:RS.   There's very little in the Parke bio established by accepted means.  For instance, one citation is a conservative Rhode Island blog, WP:SPS.  Another is a website that acts as a user generated issues platform, same WP:SPS. I believe the lack of notability issue still remains.  Subject is not a notable politician, military officer or diplomat and fails WP:POLITICIAN; WP:MILNG; WP:MILPEOPLE; WP:DIPLOMAT; WP:NRVE, yet these unsourced areas remain a part of the campaign bio.  I'm admittedly a novice at this process so any pointers on how these issues can be resolved will be appreciated. Vttor (talk) 14:59, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I took a brief look and it seems to have cleaned up nicely!


 * Sorry I wasn't more involved now, I was only involved then due to coming across a weird dueling biography also involving Greg Parke (DJ), which ironically eventually got prod'd for WP:NN too, twice even. A third Greg Parke, Greg Parke (footballer) lives on; kicking a ball around a field for a few years rates automatic immortality around here, which I think is also a little ironic.


 * Just to continue to expand on my brief, late-night note above, you've possibly had a chance to re-read WP:POLI in the interim, where it suggests that a short bio of even a losing candidate of a notable election is OK within an article about the election itself, even if the person would otherwise be of little notice. So I believe we are copacetic here. -- Kendrick7talk 01:49, 27 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.
