Hello, I'm Brewcrewer. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Eugene Meyer, but you didn't provide a reliable source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, brewcrewer (yada, yada) 23:12, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biographies#Opening paragraph: nationality, not ethnicity

Hello Begalangoram,

I have reverted your edits to several biographical articles. Wikipedia's manual of style (MOS) for the opening paragraphs of biographies states that

1. In most modern-day cases this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen, national or permanent resident, or if notable mainly for past events, the country where the person was a citizen, national or permanent resident when the person became notable.
2. Ethnicity or sexuality should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, previous nationalities or the country of birth should not be mentioned in the opening sentence unless they are relevant to the subject's notability.

Kind regards --RJFF (talk) 12:51, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Sources

Hello Begalangoram,

please know that Wikipedia requires the citation of Wikipedia:reliable sources for almost every statement. Unsources changes can and will be removed. Thank you for your understanding. Kind regards. --RJFF (talk) 12:58, 8 October 2012 (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.
