KLAS-TV

edit

On a category, the '|' character is used to allow sorting. It is not a part of the category name. For broadcast stations it is common to sort them in the local groups by dropping the first character of the station name. This is not an error that needs correcting but a common practice.

While the first letter of a TV station's callsign is a major part of a station's ident, it leaves categories for TV stations redundant, because they are all under the same letter. Therefore, TV stations need to be sorted by 2nd letter in callsigns. CoolKatt number 99999 07:28, 27 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

DC Meetup notice

edit

Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Delaware, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 22:11, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

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.
