Rebecca Housel

[edit]

Hi. Thanks for your participating in improving the Rebecca Housel article. However, I reverted your removal of the official site link and the Wikimedia Commons link, which you did with the rationale "Delete self-promotion (the link she added to her own website)" for the following reasons:

  • First, Housel didn't add the link to her website to the External links section, I did. While she may have cited a page or pages from her site as a source in the article body (which depending on the material, may have indeed been a no-no), I added the link to her site's main page because it is standard practice for biographical articles to have a link to the subject's official site in the EL section, as it is not considered promotional.
  • Second, Wikimedia Commons is not part of Housel's website. It's a sister site to Wikipedia, and is owned by the Wikimedia Foundation, the same non-profit organization that owns Wikipedia. The files on Housel's category page (all but one of which were uploaded by me) are free-licensed images that are uploaded in order to provide a free resource to users, much as Wikipedia's mission to provide a free encyclopedia. I'm guessing that this may have been a simple error on your part, but I wasn't sure.

Thanks again, and Happy Holidays. Nightscream (talk) 03:51, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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.
