Welcome

As a new user may I offer a few words of welcome also. May I also provide a word of warning, in that you've edited in a contentious area, where it is likely that even though your edits conform to WP:RS, WP:V and WP:NPOV, they are likely to be reverted to favour various national narratives. I have found this to be tremendously frustrating, as a purely content driven editor it can drive you nuts. Please don't react to such provocation, they will use any intemperate response to have you sanctioned per WP:CIVIL. The essay WP:CPUSH may also provide guidance. I wish you good luck.

Battle of Villaviciosa

I will have a look but I've only just returned after a family bereavement. Give me a couple of days, then remind me again if I forget. Wee Curry Monster talk 20:57, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Sir Ignel

Your sandbox

I noticed the article your working on in your sandbox (specifically, a rewrite of Battle of Cape Passaro). Seeing as I just rewrote Kingdom of Sicily (1713–1720) and am working on an article on Sardinia in the period from 1700 to 1720 to clear up some misunderstandings about what happened on those island in those years and we already have an aritlce on the Spanish expedition to Sardinia (which could use work, and a new title), I thought I'd let you know that I hope you consider putting your material on the Spanish conquest of Sicily in an article of its own. You can always use main article hatnotes and summary style to link a subsection to a longer article on the subject. Anyways, nice work! —Srnec (talk) 19:22, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
