Great Work

I've noticed you reverting vandalism to numerous pages- and you've only been here two days! There are more advanced tools that you can use for getting rid of vandalism in fewer clicks. If you're interested, talk to me and I'll show you how you can use them. Keep up the great work! Oliver Fury, Esq. message • contributions 00:09, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations! You just did this Europa revert while I clicked on Save Page. :-)

Undos

Thank you for your help with fighting vandalism. I just want to point out a couple things. You should check the history of the page that has been vandalized, as the vandal may have done multiple edits. If you only undo the latest edit then a vandalized version may still remain. See WP:REVERT for more information. Second, you can further help discourage vandals by leaving a warning on their talk page. See WP:WARN for how to go about this. swaq 22:29, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm the writer of the current Featured Article, and I'd just like to say thanks for your anti-vandal work in relation to it :). Keep up the good work! Ironholds (talk) 12:03, 3 November 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.
