Thanks for the positive comment on my user talk page. It certainly is a lot easier to edit an article when you and (most) other editors are sourcing pretty much everything, and where there seems to be a general agreement that this is a very interesting story and needs to be clearly told. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 00:37, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
You made many good points on the Seamus talk page. I replied to your comments. Debbie W. 11:40, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
I noticed that you have made edits to the Seamus (dog) article. There is a survey to determine whether the Seamus article should be kept, renamed, merged, or deleted. Thank you. HHIAdm ( talk) 16:59, 24 April 2012 (UTC) Talk:Seamus (dog)#Consolidated survey
Hi there. There's no way a new editor could be expected to know it, since many very experienced editors don't, but when you add content to a talk page, and that content includes anything between an opening and closing "ref" tag, ie <ref> and </ref>, you'll want to add the following, just after your post that does so.
;References
{{reflist|local=yes}}
There are two reasons this is important: First, it makes your references actually show up on the page. Second, and perhaps more important, even if you don't care or even don't want your references to show up, is that unless you do so, any refs included in the text you add will show up in the local references for other sections of the talk page. If you don't do this, in other words, "your" refs will "bleed over" into any reference displays that have been created elsewhere on the page, in wholly unrelated sections.
Besides these reasons, doing this will impress everyone with your esoteric knowledge of the "wikitext" markup language. ;-) I mention this because you did add refs to the talk page for the Seamus article, and "your" refs interfered with those in other talk page sections. No worries, though; I've fixed the problem and, as I said, there's no way you could have known. Cheers, -- OhioStandard ( talk) 01:50, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
It is my opinion that the extended discussions, and retorts to opposes have done little to help the cause of moving forward, and improving the article. I hate to assume bad-faith, but this is possibly due to some types of strawmen, red-herrings, and filibustering. We had 8 supports to 3 opposed, and we were well on the way toward concensus, still might be. Perhaps if we could stay focused, and try not to bog down the poll with redundant discussion that is really attempting to win over few, because as I said, most have already made their minds up. — GabeMc ( talk) 22:28, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello - I think you make an excellent point on the Talk page for David Yerushalmi. Why not add the content to the article? guanxi ( talk) 04:40, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

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
