Your edit to Bill O'Reilly (commentator)

Though in the linked source, O'Reilly claims the Geneva Conventions only cover those wearing uniforms, this is not explicitly stated anywhere in the Geneva Conventions. Harksaw

Actually, uniforms are included in the Geneva Conventions, as a key to determining the legality of combatants. However, they are not the sole criteria. This, however, is irrelevant. Even if uniforms were not included in the Geneva Conventions, the article is describing Bill O'Reilly's purported reasons. In the source (which is not a good source per WP:RS), his reasons are given as "uniforms". --Blue Tie 16:13, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Waco siege

Thank you for your interest in this article. I have reverted your edit - the inclusion of a "Military Conflict" infobox - and if you check you will see this has been discussed previously on the article's talk page when it was removed last year. Devious Viper 19:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Rust-Tierney

That one did give me pause. He's been accused of pedophilia, which *doesn't* qualify him for being within the LGBT Project's scope. However, he is in the category of "LGBT rights activists", which does qualify him. I'll add a note to the banner about that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 15:03, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are incorrect about the Volt

See the talk page. Chevy has backtracked from what they said last year. I altered the sections that said the gasoline engine's generator would recharge the battery. GM now says it won't (and I noticed that even the reference referred to in the second did not say what was in the wiki page.)Red Harvest (talk)

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.
