James Murdoch Archer Durrant

Thanks for your update to James Murdoch Archer Durrant, but are you sure his name couldn't be James Murdoch Arthur Durrant? The WWII Nominal site http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/script/veteran.asp?ServiceID=A&VeteranID=1206432 gives Arthur - I'm not sure which it is. - Diverman 06:03, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Honours in British Royalty

Hiya! Just thought I'd let you know that I've reverted your edits introducing honours into the lead paragraphs of some British Royalty articles. It's been previously discussed and agreed that honours are not required to be listed there, as there is a whole section dedicated to them later on. If you have really good reason for their being in the lead, please discuss with us at the style guide! Cheers! D B D 12:06, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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.
