Featured article candidate review: Buffy article

Hi

You maybe interested to know that the article 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' has recently been nominated as a candidate to become a featured article. Should it become a featured article, it will be possible for the article to appear on the Wikipedia main page on March 10th 2007, the 10th anniversary of Buffy (the premiere, "Welcome to the Hellmouth" aired March 10th 1997).

Any feedback you can offer to improve the article and/or to either object or support the nomination, would be wonderful. Thanks -- Paxomen 18:23, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

FYI, I went ahead and answered on my own talkpage, to try and keep everything together. :) --Elonka 01:54, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Mediation request

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television), and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 03:20, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Mediation

Yup, I saw. I think you're doing a great job in there, keep up the good work.  :) I'll participate as I can, though I'm a bit busy with day-job things. Unfortunately I feel that this puts me at a disadvantage with the many editors who seem to have nothing else to do but monitor Wikipedia, but, I'll do what I can.  :) --Elonka 23:03, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

In Universe, Lost

Thank you very much for your comment on "In Universe" on the "Lost WikiProject". I very much like being a member of the Project, and my fellow contributors are great people. However, sometimes advice can be vague and your comment was a real breath of fresh air. Thank you my friend. codu (^t/^c) 23:05, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Well keep up the good words brother. You're doing an excellent job! You take a good neutral view and I respect that. codu (^t/^c) 00:01, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Replied

Hi. When I get comments on my page I'm never sure whether to reply there or on the commenter's page. This time I replied on mine. It's an etiquette minefield, I swear...--Nalvage 22:55, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Moral support

You have mine.  :) BTW, do you have any preferred off-wiki communication methods? --Elonka 22:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I'll email you my email address :) Riverbend 23:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you!

Riverbend, thank you for your nice note and for all your help with the discussion! --Toby Rush ‹ ✆|✍ › 21:00, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

ArbCom proceeding

Hiya, hope your holidays are going well.  :) If you would like to watch the ArbCom proceedings, you may wish to set Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Naming Conventions on your watchlist. Your own name is mentioned a few places at the evidence page, and possibly at the workshop page. The case is currently in an "evidence-gathering" phase and has not yet reached the state of actual comment by arbitrators yet. My guess is it'll probably run for another month or so before a decision is finalized.

No action is needed on your part, but if you would like to participate in the case, you are more than welcome. You may wish to offer a statement with your view of events at the case's talkpage, or you can add evidence or participate in the workshop. Best, Elonka 06:53, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

Hi Riverbend,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

• Each casebook will have a subpage.

• Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
• It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
• Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.

• I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.

2. If you're a law student,

• Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
• Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.

(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)

3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Regards, Andrew Gradman ^talk/_WP:Hornbook 20:42, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

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.
