Argh! You've destub'd them all! You're leaving us nothing left to do!? Bob aka Linuxlad 17:24, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've destubbed the ones that were approaching Featured Article length. Still 118 of the little bleeders, though, if you're feeling busy. Kanthoney 17:42, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nah! I'm busy making new ones in the county next door ('the best bits of Derbyshire are in Staffordshire...') Bob

Destubbing

What is your criteria for destubbing? – Clockwork Soul 14:36, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If it's not a stub, I destub it ;) Actual criteria depends on which category I'm going through, but if it's more than a couple of paragraphs it's a candidate. Kanthoney 14:56, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to reemphasize ClockworkSoul's comments. Don't destub articles that aren't longer than a few lines, please.

I'd also like to emphasize those comments. Chang (beer), for example, is a stub by almost anybody else's standards (including, I'd think, the guidelines at Wikipedia:Stub); what would your criteria be for considering this a stub? --Dvyost 16:12, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Heineken isn't a stub, IMO, since the basic information is there, and it would require more serious research to expand it. Maybe a request for expansion would be more appropriate? Dutch beer and Chang (beer) were over-zealous, sorry. If I try this again I'll be more careful. Kanthoney 17:20, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that Heineken isn't a stub, but try not to get over-zealous in your project. Stubs serve a useful purpose, and removing them from stubby articles does more harm than good. – Clockwork Soul 17:25, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

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.
