Henry of Blois addition

Thanks for the addition, but can you put the page number you found the information from in your footnote? When I get around to cleaning good old Henry up, (I'm currently slowly working my way through the Bishops of Ely) I'll need to know page numbers and I don't own that book. Page numbers where the information is found is required for verifying information (see Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Citing sources) Oh, and I replied on the list of abbots, hopefully that'll stop the merge concept.

Frederick Winchcombe

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Frederick Winchcombe, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A120602b.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 22:40, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I appreciate that you made some efforts to paraphrase the text on Frederick Winchcombe so it would no longer be a copyright infringement. Unfortunately, adding synonyms and minor alterations in the sentences won't relieve the plagiarism issue. As it is currently written, the text will need to be deleted as a copyright violation. You are welcome to rewrite the text using original language. The page on WP:Close paraphrasing can provide you with some explanations and help. In the long run, it is always better to simply write the text from scratch using your own words. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Regards. Theleftorium 11:56, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

John Banks (political activist and writer)

Hi. I noticed that you added a date of death to John Banks' biography. Per WP:V, all material must be verifiable, so do you have a source for this addition that we could include on the page? Canadian Paul 16:12, 14 April 2010 (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.
