Happy editing, JOHN COLLISON [ L u d r a m an] 21:49, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hello. Some of your articles prompt these tips:

Begin with a complete sentence, not a dictionary-style definition.
Highlight the title word or title phrase at its first appearance, like this.
Don't use gratuitously capitalized initial letters in section headings. The following is conventional on Wikipedia:

External links

[edit]

and the following is not:

External Links

[edit]

Put category links at the bottom; otherwise they cause extra blank space to appear between sections or at the top.

International Style (art)

[edit]

Are you sure?

I thought it was a 20th century style. Jeff Knaggs 22:36, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

p.s. We already have a stub for International Gothic which is what I think the Wilton Diptych is an example of.

Yes, that will do nicely (I've just looked at my old Gombrich's Story of Art). Keep up the good work. By the way, you can sign your name with 4 tildes like this . . . Jeff Knaggs 23:00, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hello

[edit]

Your statistic articles have been a powerful help in my statistics course, by the way.

Thank you; I'm glad to hear someone's reading and appreciating them. Michael Hardy 01:23, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Wikimedia UK/Wikimania 2006

[edit]

Hi, this is a circular to Wikipedians in Ireland to draw your attention to Wikimedia UK, where the establishment of a local Wikimedia chapter for the United Kingdom (and possibly for the Republic of Ireland) is being discussed. See the talk page, as well as the mailing list; a meetup will take place to discuss matters in London in September, for anyone who can get there. On another topic, plans are being drawn up for a UK bid for Wikimania 2006, which would be conveniently close to Ireland. On the other hand, Dublin's bid was one of the final three last year - might we bid again? --Kwekubo 19:35, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

[edit]

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.
