== re: Wmf redirect ==[edit]

re: Hello Fabartus!
I saw your recent edit to the Wmf page. Currently the page redirects to the Wikimedia Foundation.
Shouldn't it redirect to the WMF disambiguation page like before? Thanks ---- Kevs 00:54, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Case is different, Wmf not WMF. But if it's not on the disambig page, should be added. Sorry to be terse, am exporting many things interwiki. See: {{Interwikitmp-grp}} Thanks. // FrankB 01:04, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, if it did, didn't connect anywhere. This is being used as an interwiki shortcut this way. // FrankB 01:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Spanish version"[edit]

I have a dumb question. You just added a "Spanish version" to the article Antalya. Could you explain to me hou this helps people who only speak Spanish? The Spanish translation of that article seems quite short in comparison. Wouldn't a more up-to-date translation help them more? As you can see, a very naive question! Thanks.

SummerSlam Page[edit]

I've never edited the main SummerSlam page, so I'm not quite sure what you are talking about. I have made small edits to the different SummerSlam pages that are divided by years. If that's what you are talking about, then the blanking was an accident...I may have hit the wrong button or something. Nikki311 02:48, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference[edit]

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:38, 14 March 2011 (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.
