Page protection[edit]

Hey Macutty. Please don't add the sprotect tag to articles as you did here [1] because it doesn't do anything. Protection and semi-protection is a special software feature that admins have access to and it has nothing to do with the tag. The tag just informs editors that the page has been protected or semi-protected. If you feel a page needs to be protected or semi-proteced, you may request it here. Thanks, Sarah 15:31, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peak Oil[edit]

Hey Macutty, welcome to wikipedia. I answered your question in the Peak Oil talk section. Perhaps you can help in cleaning up the article and find the references to articles that would balance it.Kgrr 14:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have corrected/formalized all of the cited references in the Peak Oil article. I did not find any personal web pages although one reference points to the blog of a well-known economist. Please be a bit more specific as to which "special interest group" references you find objectionable. Some critical viewpoints do come from political think tanks such as Cato Institute for example. Also, please show me which sections are unbalanced in your opinion. Let's fix the article and get it to Good Article status.Kgrr 15:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article about war reporting[edit]

Hallo. I'm a journalist writing for Austrian Newspaper "Falter". I'm working on a story about war reporting on Wikipedia (focused on South Ossetia War). I would like to ask you a few questions via email about this subject (concerning neutrality and propaganda on Wikipedia). I would be really pleased, if you agreed to answer my questions. If you are interested just send me a message via my Wikipedia profile. Best regards, Wueddens (talk) 14:48, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

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.
