Plagiarism?[edit]

You accused the Porsche 550 article of being copied from the web - yet the webpage had taken its content from Wikipedia, and stated this also. You better be more careful - see Talk:Porsche 550. --Matthead 16:55, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Toronto Centre[edit]

It's unlikely there will be any more candidates as the nomination deadline has passed. Reggie Perrin (talk) 20:24, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Schmidt[edit]

Many thanks for your correction. You are quite right. I should have referred to the Permanent Court of International Justice, founded 1922. I have made the change and added a hyperlink to the Schmidt article.

More Schmidt[edit]

The reference for Schmidt's joining the Court is in the Paul Schmidt article in the German Wikipedia, which I quote below:

Im Juli 1923 nahm Paul Schmidt – noch während der Examensvorbereitungen – den ersten Auftrag vom Sprachendienst des AA an, und zwar am Ständigen Internationalen Gerichtshof in Den Haag. Schmausschmaus (talk) 20:38, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

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.
