Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Obsessive–compulsive disorder‎: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you.

Thank you, that's very helpful! Energy Dome (talk) 15:36, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to be of help. I also use Twinkle quite heavily – it makes using those templates so much easier.
(To enable Twinkle, look in your user preferences under the Gadgets tab.)

Also very useful! Thanks again. Energy Dome (talk) 03:26, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see you're getting the hang of it.

Don't forget, if you're curious about something on here, search for it and you will find it. Or at least I've been able to do so, so far.

William Warham (Archdeacon)

Hi! Thanks for your two edits to my new page on William Warham. I've added the two citations you asked for. But I can't see what need there is for section headings in such a short article which is already organised into short paragraphs. As for 'weasel' words, what did you have in mind? I can't see anything at all except for the word 'probably', which is deliberate and is explained. I would be pleased to have these two tags removed from the page if possible.

Hi! Thanks for your reply. I was referring to the "probably"s as weasel words (sorry it sounds like such an offensive term--that's just what Wikipedia calls them; see WP:Weasel words). I do see what you mean about the "probably"s, though, now that I look again--it seems like you mean that this is a commonly accepted historical fact that can't be proven. I'll go ahead and remove that template. As for the section headings, I thought that the article would be a little easier to read, and look a bit more consistent with articles, if it had a Lead section and a Body section--see WP:Layout for some info. If you strongly disagree, though, let me know. In either case--thanks for contributing! Energy Dome (talk) 21:07, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It's a problem dealing with biographies as early as c. 1500. Warham was 99% certain a university educated man but he doesn't appear in the Cambridge records and the Oxford records are deficient for the relevant decade; he could have gone to a foreign university, but his uncle the archbish was notorious in his support for Winchester and New College, hence the word "probably". It's all documented in much greater detail in my 1994 article, which is the only recent biog of someone who has traditionally been confused with his uncle (half the family seems to have been called William).

I'll look again at the sectionalisation, and must also fix a disambiguation and a link from the William Warham page. Vidoue (talk) 21:40, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.

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.
