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.

Recent edit reversion
[edit]In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.
I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.
I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 16:15, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Raphael Morris moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Raphael Morris, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 TT me 10:18, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

DYK?
[edit]I'm working on a draft article that may interest you. When it's ready for DYK, I have one in mind. As an IP, I can't myself nominate it, but am happy for someone else to (and to take DYK credit); I've done this with some other articles, and am happy to do the QPQ. As we worked on the above DYK together, I thought you might be interested in promoting this one - if not, no worries, I'll ask another editor. The article is Draft:Oakdale Golf & Country Club. The DYK I have in mind is: "... that when Oakdale Golf & Country Club was founded, The Toronto Star ran a story with the headline: "Hebrews buy farm; build golf course." 2603:7000:2101:AA00:5941:162E:547A:BD23 (talk) 15:48, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Autoconfirmed rights
[edit]Hi, Longhornsg. I was wondering if you have considered applying for WP:AUTOPATROLLED* rights. Generally speaking you need at least 25 articles created in order to gain this privilege, and you seem to have plenty of articles under your belt. It would not help you much per se except to save you the notification that your article has been reviewed and to automatically release your new articles for search indexing, but it would also help the new page review backlog. I'm almost certain you would be granted it given your editing history, and to my understanding the privilege stays with you indefinitely. It's of course up to you; it's still always good to have another pair of eyes on a new article. All the best, TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 22:29, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, @TheTechnician27. I think I already have these rights? Longhornsg (talk) 22:34, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
- Haha, oops! Yes you do. I made a typo. I meant to say WP:AUTOPATROLLED, which automatically releases your new articles for search engine indexing. My apologies. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 22:38, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Additionally you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Dodgy quote
[edit]Hi, I only trimmed the quote here, I didn't remove the description from Kemp, so you've doubled this up. Also the quote doesn't actually finish; it stops halfway through, so it's just nonsensical at the moment. But the broader point is that a blog post on an advocacy website doesn't establish weight for repeating a quote. Iskandar323 (talk) 18:05, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Cool, thanks Longhornsg (talk) 18:08, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Fyi, I meant that the material as it stands is duplicated, and the quote incomplete. I hadn't fixed it at the time, as it's a contentious topic and I didn't want to edit the same material twice. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:33, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Safari (restaurant) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. MrBauer24 (talk) 19:13, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
