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.

Disambiguation link notification for December 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Secret in the Dark, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Blondie. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Viola Beach

Hi, sorry if I got a bit cross there, but the opening paragraph of the article has to be written that way in order to Delete-proof the article. The band are wiki-notable because of the media coverage of their deaths. The media making a fuss over their deaths is their claim to notability. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic. It should ... explain why the topic is notable ... The notability of the article's subject is usually established in the first few sentences....For topics notable for only one reason, this reason should usually be given in the first sentence ...The opening sentence should provide links to the broader or more elementary topics that are important to the article's topic or place it into the context where it is notable. . 2.26.165.64 (talk) 18:01, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

No worries. I'd say the article is pretty delete-proof by now. A Google news search for Viola Beach currently pulls up 400 articles. I think it's safe to leave out the list of publications from the intro. I see someone else has already removed it again anyway. Cmeiqnj (talk) 18:12, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Don't fret, let me know if the article is nominated for deletion. Abductive (reasoning) 18:15, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

English varieties

In a recent edit to the page Reactions to the November 2015 Paris attacks, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to India, use Indian English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. AusLondonder (talk) 15:48, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Noted, although the word in question, organization, *is* British English according to the OED. Cmeiqnj (talk) 15:52, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. That's different. That is Oxford spelling, now mostly out of use in the UK. For example, The Times dropped -ize in 1992. -ise instead of -ize is the standard in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and India. See also American and British English spelling differences#Greek-derived spellings. AusLondonder (talk) 10:36, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

regarding the move on New Order

Hi, I was only able to move one of the articles back, however the main title is still pointing to the disambiguation page so I had to request a technical revert over at WP:RMT. Hope that works out. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:48, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes, somebody will come along and fix it no doubt. Thanks for that. Cmeiqnj (talk) 14:03, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Aquatic Ape POV

Hello Cmeiqnj, I have bought your action of adding a POV to Aquatic Ape to the attention of NeilN as although there are difficulties I do not believe that you were correct in adding it. In my limited experience although the notice is meant to draw editors together to improve the article in some cases such as this I believe it can also do the exact opposite. Quite a few editors are very aware of some of the difficulties the article has and as more sources become available they will be added. Thought? (p.s. I will watch this page so please reply here. Thanks Edmund Patrick – confer 14:32, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Replied on the article talk page to a similar query. Cmeiqnj (talk) 15:06, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Juniore

Hello, Cmeiqnj. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Juniore, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:58, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

I have removed the notice; see the article talk page. Cmeiqnj (talk) 14:44, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Aquatic ape

Cmeiqn, I removed the POV hatnote that you had placed on the AAH article as I've tried my best to present a neutral argument in the redraft. But I just wanted to check that you are happy with it, as you made no comment on the talk page in the last week. Chris55 (talk) 11:54, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Chris, I took that page off my watchlist a week or so after I put the hatnote up there - I could see that the page was a battleground and that there was little prospect of anything being resolved any time soon and I had no desire to get involved. So first of all, I salute your patience! The redraft looks to be a vast improvement over what we had before - much cleaner and easier to read. Well done. I would still change the lede a bit. At the moment there are three paragraphs: 1) AAH is fringe and feminist (and therefore implicitly wrong); 2) controversy!; 3) there is one claim in particular that might be true (but the AAH is still fringe). I think the lede would be more informative if it simply summarized the content of the rewritten article: here are the main claims of the AAH, as originally formulated; here is some evidence and some counter-evidence; here is a potted summary of the contested history. But I'll leave that to you to consider. Great job on the rewrite. Cmeiqnj (talk) 18:30, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

A page you started (Marie Davidson) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Marie Davidson, Cmeiqnj!

Wikipedia editor Innisfree987 just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Thanks for your contribution! I've added a few secondary sources to confirm notability; you may want to consult WP:NMUSIC to ensure any other music-related creations you've made already or plan for the future have sufficient sourcing to be sure no one nominates for deletion. Hope that's helpful--thanks again for your creation! Innisfree987 (talk) 22:30, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
