| Some contributors '''feel possessive''' about material they have contributed to Misplaced Pages. A few editors will even defend such material against others. It is quite reasonable to take an interest in an article on a topic you care about – perhaps you are an expert, or perhaps it is just your hobby; however, '''if this watchfulness starts to become possessiveness, then you are overdoing it'''. Believing that an article has an owner of this sort is a common mistake people make on Misplaced Pages. | |||

Often these editors can be approached and may offer assistance to those unfamiliar with the article. The template {{Maintained}} may be used on the article talk pages. | |||

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!
Hello, Earl King Jr.. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.

It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority 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.
