Edit summaries[edit]
Thanks for all of your constructive edits! Just a hint: Please use an informative edit summary for all of your edits (the edit summary box is right below the edit box). —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 05:46, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
- Also, use the talk page to explain changes. Changes should conform to information in the citation and not be WP:SYN for POV. WP:NPOV.Malke2010 14:07, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
- Hello Billare- Another note on editing, if you don't mind: It will also be easier for you and your co-editors to collaborate on articles if, instead of making multiple consecutive edits in rapid succession on an article, you use the "Show preview" button to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits. Thanks in advance for considering this.
- Help:Show_preview promotes minimizing the number of saves per edit session. Eric talk 13:07, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Your excessive use of {{intro-tooshort}}[edit]
Hi Billare,
Please don't go around placing {{intro-tooshort}} templates on a large number of articles as you have been doing the last few days. It just makes the article ugly and unappealing to readers, especially since that is the first thing any reader sees at the top of the page. It's annoying and distracting. In most cases, the intro sections of the articles you tagged are just fine, and well within Wikipedia's norms. If you feel that an article's intro needs additional info, then please add whatever info you think it lacks, instead of just tagging and running. Thanks. --Seattle Skier (talk) 10:41, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

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.
