Obama's name is Hussein. Stop trying to hide that FACT. Removing his REAL name is VANDALISM. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.7.159.88 (talk) 02:14, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

infobox in "Prostitution in Spain"
Hi, Frost! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minlos (talk • contribs) 08:22, 5 September 2015 (UTC) "An infobox is a fixed-format table designed to be added to the top right-hand corner of articles to consistently present a summary of some unifying aspect that the articles share and sometimes to improve navigation to other interrelated articles." https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Help:Infobox According to this definition, "Infobox artwork" may not appear in the article https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Prostitution_in_Spain, as the article is not about artwork. If you are sure the image should illustrate the article (why not), I suggest you to drop the illustration on the page without the misleading infobox. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minlos (talk • contribs) 08:20, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah ok, I'll allow the image to sit on it's own without the infobox. I'll fix this now. —Frosty ☃ 23:39, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Vandalism using your name
Hi I hate to do this to you but your name is being used to deface our wikipage. Maybe you would be able to help in tracking down the culprits. After all, now it is personal.
Hello, I'm Jesssleelee. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

- I reverted vandalism but in doing so, restored different vandalism. It has since been fixed. —Frosty ☃ 06:05, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

An Inquiry Into Persons Connected to Recent Savage Transgressions Against My Person
Do you know anything about the two people who appeared on the Uncyc page? All they seem to want to do is provide backlinks to the fork, whilst claiming that UncycloWikia is a fork, and removing all UncycloWikia links. I hastily glanced at checked the fork's RC and saw nothing of interest. So would you know anything? Thanks in advance. --DSA510 Pls No Bully 21:03, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

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.
