Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. [1] --Ronz 03:38, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Next time please don't remove a proper conversation from someone else's talk page, even if you're the one who started it. It's just not okay. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 05:10, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
Hey Poodledog, just want to make sure you feel welcome at Wikipedia! I know it may not seem that way when your first edits get reverted, and it seems like people are complaining about whatever you do....rest assured, we are looking forward to your input, but there are some growing pains getting started! I know that on my first attempts, it seemed like the WikiWorld was unreasonable, but after a fairly short while I learned how it all works. Thanks for your efforts to try and make Wikipedia better!

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.
