Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Truett-McConnell College may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Disambiguation link notification for November 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pensacola Christian College, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chaperone (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.

Rodgers and BLP

Once material is removed from an article on BLP grounds, it may not be added again unless there is consensus to do so. This is contrary to the BRD process, and is also exempt to 3RR. Now I'm not going to remove it again even though I'm entitled to do so, but I'd appreciate if you removed it until there is consensus to restore it.

You waving the BLP flag and telling me I cannot insert a verifiable fact doesn't further this conversation. In fact, it appears you are trying to end discussion and editing on this by vaguely citing anything: first SYNTH, then OR and then saying its not germane to the article.

It is an unquestionable fact and relevant. An admin undid the recent removal and posted an explanation. RobinBnn (talk) 16:44, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Lee Bright

You may be interested in keeping an eye out on Lee Bright. I did a pretty significant edit to it awhile ago, as it was an unintelligible mish-mash of intrusive editing by both his supporters and detractors, and I think it's a lot better, but it occasionally attracts IP editors and single-purpose accounts and, I suspect, as we get closer to the primary election in S.C., this might increase. I try to check in on it every few weeks. BlueSalix (talk) 19:26, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll check out. RobinBnn (talk) 19:36, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

NP - FYI, if you're interested in politicians from Wash. State, here's another one that gets heavy IP vandalism from, I suspect, the legislator's own staff ... I just undid most of the recent round of whitewashing IP edits - Don Benton. BlueSalix (talk) 22:55, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

What drew me to the article was the education aspect. Then I noticed the vandalism, which peaked my interest further. I'll check out the article though. RobinBnn (talk) 23:20, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

There's lot of issues with politicians burnishing their resumes and whitewashing their histories here, and most of them don't get caught. Please keep at it. BlueSalix (talk) 23:26, 29 January 2014 (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 Misplaced Pages 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.
