Regarding the archive of my talk page.
Hello, my talk page is not being archived although I have tried several times. Could you tell me what is wrong or you yourself can fix it. I have no problem. I want it to be archived after the talks have been there for more than three months according to the dates. Please help me. Archiving can be done in 1 2 3 way. It would be great if I get it sorted out. Hoping for you reply. Cheers!!! Sammanhumagaint@lk 05:28, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
- I looked through your archive box, and I wasn't able to spot an immediate problem. Try leaving a comment at User talk:Misza13, the bot who is set to archive your page. I'm not really going to be able to offer much help since I perform all of my archivals manually, but the person who runs the bot should have a pretty good idea of whats gone wrong.

Erroneous redirect?
Hi Spirit of Eagle, I was about about to take a redirect you created to RfD, but it looks like the whole thing may be an error. It's Bulbapedia 3, which seems not to have existed until you created it when closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bulbapedia 3. But that was the 3rd nomination for deletion of Bulbapedia, not a page called "Bulbapedia". Would it be appropriate for me to delete this under CSD G6 or G7? --BDD (talk) 18:36, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
- I just nominated the redirect for speedy deletion per G7. Its an implausible search term and its creation was entirely accidental. Thanks for pointing this error out.Spirit of Eagle (talk) 22:17, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Miskovsky, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Treasury Department, Georgetown and Holy Trinity Catholic Church (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Point Valid
I understand that I have a special interested in Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Point_Valid, but I think there was no reason to relist this article a second time. I think the Afd can safely be closed as "keep" or at least "no consensus to delete". Debresser (talk) 12:52, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
- This strikes me as a very borderline article. While there are 14 sources, a number of them are not reliable such as the YouTube and Myspace sources and the nominators claims are relatively strong. While the keeps outnumber the deletes, I felt like more community input would be needed before closing to get a more definitive answer. Except in exceptional circumstances, AfDs are only supposed to be relisted a maximum of two times, so the AfD is not going to be open much longer.

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.
