Do you want one Edit tab, or two? It's your choice edit

How to switch between editing environments
Click the [[ ]] to switch to the wikitext editor.
Click the pencil icon to switch to the visual editor.

The editing interface will be changed soon. When that happens, editors who currently see two editing tabs – "Edit" and "Edit source" – will start seeing one edit tab instead. The single edit tab has been popular at other Wikipedias. When this is deployed here, you may be offered the opportunity to choose your preferred appearance and behavior the next time you click the Edit button. You will also be able to change your settings in the Editing section of Special:Preferences.

You can choose one or two edit tabs. If you chose one edit tab, then you can switch between the two editing environments by clicking the buttons in the toolbar (shown in the screenshots). See Help:VisualEditor/User guide#Switching between the visual and wikitext editors for more information and screenshots.

There is more information about this interface change at mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab. If you have questions, suggestions, or problems to report, then please leave a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback.

Update edit

It has been over a year and a half since you updated User:The ed17/Good articles by prose size and the related articles. Could you do it when you get a chance.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:14, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

@TonyTheTiger: I can't, as the script no longer retrives all of the articles—only the first 500. Someone will have to fix it (I have no idea how). :-/ Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 05:34, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Arb? edit

Since "Drmies" is not an "arb," Ed, I found your demand that I not "revert the actions of 'arbs'" very confusing. What am I missing? Also - why shouldn't an "arb's" action be reverted when it's a wrong action?Dan Murphy (talk) 05:36, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

It's SOP to not revert arbitrators, of which Drmies is most definitely one, on arbitration committee pages. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 05:42, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Yeah--"wrong action". Somebody pull out the 1901 constitution to verify the wrongness of that action. Drmies (talk) 17:37, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

ANI notice - Disruption of ArbCom case by Dan Murphy edit

  There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. — Cirt (talk) 05:56, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Gamaliel and others arbitration case opened edit

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others. The scope of this case is Gamaliel's recent actions (both administrative and otherwise), especially related to the Signpost April Fools Joke. The case will also examine the conduct of other editors who are directly involved in disputes with Gamaliel. The case is strictly intended to examine user conduct and alleged policy violations and will not examine broader topic areas. The clerks have been instructed to remove evidence which does not meet these requirements. The drafters will add additional parties as required during the case. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others/Evidence.

Please add your evidence by May 2, 2016, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. This notification is being sent to those listed on the case notification list. If you do not wish to recieve further notifications, you are welcome to opt-out on that page.
