Too many capitals

Hello. Your edits to ethical egoism prompt this tip: the "l" in "External links" as a section heading should not be capitalized. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style in regard to section headings. Similarly in "See also", a lower-case "a" is used, and generally capitals are not used gratuitously in section headings and article titles. Michael Hardy 22:52, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Link spamming

Please don't add external links to your site to a large number of articles; this is known as "link spamming", and isn't accepted. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 28 June 2005 17:33 (UTC)

Religion in Scientific Method

The new link is kind of nice- thanks. Fundamentalists today tend to label anyone else as atheists or "secular humanists," so a link expressing the broader view is nice. Pdn 17:32, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User page: TS Brumwell

Hi,

I got your note. Thanks for the info. I was attempting to "userfy" and I apparently got it wrong. Am I supposed to use the "user page" tab? Anything you can help me with would be greatly appreciated.

Regarding why this page was created. If you look on the AFD discussion, I lay out why I created the page. Apparently I did it the wrong way...again. Anyhow it was an attempt to bring the constant, undiscussed changes of the main article to another page in order that the main page might be spared from editors who post changes without discussion or consensus. If you flip over to Islam by country and its history page, you will see what I mean about the constant changes. Otherwise, and I still see this as a possiblity, is that we simply create links on the main page to subpages dedicaated to each of the sources. In other words...if you want to see the CIA World Factbook numbers you click on this link. If you want the see the US State Department figures, click on this link. Thereby everyone should be happy, individuals can update to their hearts content the source they prefer. The main page shorter and more concise.

I apologize if my words are all jumbled together...it's time for me to hit the sack. It's been a late night. (TS Brumwell 15:20, 2 September 2007 (UTC))[reply]

"Recent changes" page

I see that we occasionally leapfrog over each other there. You're doing good work, I must say; one of the most valuable aspects of running the script is educative—editors see the links to MOSNUM and CONTEXT, which they may never heard of before. Word is spreading! Tony (talk) 03:35, 22 October 2008 (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.
