Would you care to elaborate on why you listed Aman Hayer for speedy deletion? I have removed the {{delete}} tag as there is no reason evident to me as to why it should be deleted. Kelly Martin 12:03, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I was watching the new pages and found 195.188.173.2 was creating new pages that were a copied from another page or his personal opinion on a musician. I went through and marked his opinions for speedy deletion and the copyright violations as such. I accidently marked Aman Hayer for speedy deletion when it should have been a copyright violation. I have since updated the article as being a copyright violation. commonbrick 21:28, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC) Special:Contributions&target=195.188.173.2

This does not qualify for speedy deletion. In fact, it does not really qualify for any deletion. Because you moved content from Falkland (disambiguation) to Falkland, under the GFDL we have to keep the page history of the former so we can properly credit those users who added the content first.

Nice work with the cleanup. The Academic intro is a lot better than before. As for the list of academic units, I don't think it is necessary at this time unless you think otherwise.

Since I am also working on cleaning up the article (I tend to be an inclusionist in that I don't usually get rid of information. For existing information, I merely copy edit and rearrange as I see fit), please leave a message on my talk page so that we can at least coordinate some changes. Pentawing 30 June 2005 04:28 (UTC)

Its been needing a cleanup for a while now :). I think we can leave the academic units out for now too. We've got the main ones listed and linked. I'm more of an "exclusionist" in that I delete things I don't think add anything to the article. Its kind of hard deleting all of these interesting little facts and links but I try and remember that the goal is to have an encyclopedia article, not the definitive, end-all guide to UM. The next thing I think I will do is clean up the history section and move it to a seperate article. As I think of more changes that can be made I will make a list. commonbrick 30 June 2005 05:29 (UTC)

I don't know if you are aware of it, but I have placed the article through peer review in the hopes of getting this article featured. Since you have done a lot with the cleanup, could you look over the article and suggest anything more that can be done? Thanks. Pentawing 22:10, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• I was wondering if you can get a chance to look over the article and comment on it further? I am thinking of nominating the article for FA, but I'll hold off on it if you see that more can be done with it. Thanks. Pentawing 20:56, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the suggestions. I left a few remarks on the article's talk page. Pentawing 06:32, 7 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• I tried to add some things to the student life section, but the extent of my knowledge is limited to only the College of Engineering. If you have the chance, can you add something? Thanks. Pentawing 02:17, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Please tell me if there is anything more that is needed. I want to post the article on the FAC page as soon as possible. Pentawing 01:51, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks. I'll do some last minute checks before posting it. Pentawing 04:43, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • The article is now posted on the FAC board. So far there are few comments on it. Pentawing 00:13, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi; I see you added Michigamua to the list of secret societies. They don't seem very secretive; Is there an element of secrecy that I'm overlooking? Tom Harrison ^(talk) 19:31, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am an editor for the Tinwiki, a conspiacy wikipedia, I noticed that you have an interest in secret socieites, and I figure, why not make you aware of our wikipedia variant, which permits entries that might not normally 'fly' on the wikipedia, such as 'original research', etc. Nygdan 04:54, 2 August 2006 (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.
