Hi Jacob, I like your comments on WW1 page. You seem to have a well-balanced view of the war. The wikepedia article titled 'Origins of ww1' is in my opinion very pro-central powers biased. Check it out. I have gotten these guys to make some changes(I think improvements) but it has truly been like pulling teeth. 76.94.18.217 (talk) 18:00, 16 December 2008 (UTC)edwardlovette76.94.18.217 (talk) 18:00, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jacob. I also like your comments. I just wanted to let you know that I want to borrow some of your GFDL material for my encyclopedia at http://encyc.org/wiki/Wwi. Please feel free to stop by. I work on Wikipedia too and hope to see you around. Sole Flounder (talk) 03:38, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An exciting opportunity to get involved!

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis contribs 00:45, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions alert

[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
