how is that vandalism in any way —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.205.208.20 (talk) 02:12, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- It's the tone in which the comment was written. Typically, it's considered yelling when you type in all caps. If you see someone do something that you disagree with, try to politely point it out and ask for clarification. --Az1568 (talk) 02:20, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Fred is actually gay[edit]
Just do a quick search on 'Fred is gay' anywhere, and you will find out he's homosexual. Glad we solved that —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.48.214.62 (talk) 03:39, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Fred (YouTube), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Az1568 (talk) 03:47, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry about not citing, can't stand that either. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.48.214.62 (talk) 03:57, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- I just cited it, but some genius thought it was vandalism. What am i supposed to do? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.48.214.62 (talk) 04:07, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in SecurePoll feedback and workshop[edit]

For the Arbitration Committee,

BLOCKED?[edit]
Clearly you have abused your power as admin. How is this trolling? It is my honest opinion and many , many people agree with it. HOLD UP ! Follow the rules
The End[edit]
As if it needed any help, this will be the end of Wikipedia as we know it. Already, careful manipulation of the 'rules' allow agendas, propaganda, nepotism and personal views to proliferate on Wikipedia, so much so that Wiki is a novel consultation rather than the definitive resource that it could and should be. It's been said that money is the root of all evil...I can definitely envision big time sponsors getting their way with breaking any rule they want on here
It's just the truth, very sorry you do not like it, however it does not change the inevitable reality of the situation. If I donate $10,000 would my edit stand?.
EDIT[edit]
Ok I have just donated 10K US dollars, this entitles me to post my POV and personal research and propaganda right? I think it does...If you think other wise then try me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.194.250.225 (talk) 22:04, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

The Great American Wiknic[edit]
Hi there! In the past, you've expressed an interest in local meetups of Wikipedians. Well, here's your chance! On Saturday, June 25, we'll be joining Wikipedians in cities all over the country for the first annual Great American Wiknic -- the picnic that anyone can edit! We'll meet up at a park in SF -- hopefully in the sun -- all other details are still in deliberation!
If this sounds fun, please add your name to the list: Wikipedia:Meetup/San Francisco/Wiknic and add that page to your watchlist. (And of course, feel free to edit that page with your ideas, questions, etc.) I look forward to wiknicking with you! -Pete (talk) 00:37, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Women's history editathon[edit]
Hey - Sorry for the late notice, but since you have yourself tagged as living in the Bay Area, I thought you might appreciate notification that we’re having an event Saturday! It’ll be held at Hoyt Hall, an all-women's house of the Berkeley Student Cooperative from 3 to 6 pm tomorrow. The main event page is here. Anyone is welcome to show up, but we’re expecting a significant number of people to come who have literally never edited Wikipedia before. If you’re an experienced Wikipedian who would be able to provide useful help to some of the newbies, your presence would be especially appreciated (and it might be a good idea for you to show up at 2 or 2:30 instead of three. Thanks, Kevin Gorman (talk) 01:59, 6 April 2013 (UTC) I’m AWB’ing this message to all Wikipedians who have tagged themselves in the bay area. I’m sorry if the message isn’t of interest to you; feel free to delete it. I’ll be unlikely to send future messages in a similar way, but if really don’t want to receive future messages of this sort, please let me know.

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.
