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.

Sir Alexander Temple

Thanks for correcting the typo in spelling February. The baptism date 1583/4 is a convention often used to indicate an old style date (before the change of the calendar in 1752). For the moment I have changed it back to this format. Is there a Wikipedia convention for dealing with Julian dates? Rjm at sleepers (talk) 21:12, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for correcting my misunderstanding, Rjm. I wasn't aware of the convention and had mistaken the "1583/4" for uncertainty regarding the year of baptism, but this led me to this which, in turn, led me to this. The answer to your question seems to lie somewhere in this section of the WP:MOS. There was quite a bit to absorb, but it does seem to me that your use of the dual year convention is correct and proper. Cheers! ► Bgpaulus (WORDS & DEEDS) ◄ 22:05, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Kelly mel52. All Wikipedia articles must strive for verifiable accuracy, so each award should probably cite at least one reference, so I think it would help to also include information on the organizations that gave out the 11 awards listed. I'll try reformatting this information into a sortable table shortly. Cheers! ► Bgpaulus (WORDS & DEEDS) ◄ 20:24, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Kelly mel52. Sorry for the delay; I got busy IRL for a few days, but I'm back now. I'll be working on this in my sandbox, although we can continue to converse here. Hopefully, that won't be too awkward for you. Cheers! ► Bgpaulus (WORDS & DEEDS) ◄ 00:25, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Okay, so I just now added the table of awards to the article, along with a couple more minor tweaks. Now, we get to sit back and see if anyone wants to make any changes to it. Keep in mind, per this fundamental Wikipedia policy, "once you have posted it to Wikipedia, you cannot stop anyone from editing text you have written." Cheers! ► Bgpaulus (WORDS & DEEDS) ◄ 23:05, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Bgpaulus,

Thanks for the updates. Can you please add the following citations to the About/Intro section?

Kelly began his comedy career in 2014. He has founded the biggest English-German comedy club in Munich “Comedy Club Munich” and started his first comedy tour in Germany with “Die Irren on Tour” in February 2016.

The other missing citations, I will forward on shortly.

Best Regards
