Hello, I'm
Donner60. I noticed that you recently removed some content from
Jonathan Tah with
this edit, without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an
edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thanks.

Hello, Carlroddam. 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.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. 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.
If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
I entered the following in the Biomass article.
“In Vermont in 2017, biomass cost $85 per megawatt. The price of wholesale power was about $25 a megawatt. Biomass is too expensive when compared to fracked natural gas.(citation)”
This was reverted because the source did not support this material.
The article reads “it costs big biomass plants like the ones in Burlington and Ryegate about $85 a megawatt to generate power, he [Sam Lincoln, Vermont Deputy Director of Forests+] said. Whereas, the price of wholesale power is about $25 a megawatt.” “’Biomass became expensive, compared to fracked natural gas in particular,’ Mr. Lincoln said. ‘”
I can remove the url, since that does not include the above per WP:SOURCELINKS.
The hard copy is quoted above. How do you think it should be summarized?
Thanks. Student7 ( talk) 21:01, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi Carl. I noted your self-reverted(!) edit about the coupe terminology. Indeed, it is quite a grey area. Adding to the confusion is that the BMW New Class platform (predecessor to the 3 Series) was used for both "2-door sedans" (2002, 1602, etc) and traditional streamlined coupes (2000C, 2000CS). It might be worth trying to establish a convention at WikiProject Auto? Best of luck with it. Cheers, 1292simon ( talk) 01:58, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
For the record, the ISO says the following about the Coupe and the Sedan/Saloon: Sedan
Coupe
...so not terribly helpful at all in distinguishing between a coupe and a sedan/saloon. Carlroddam ( talk) 22:43, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
Just fyi there is no need to "remove unwarranted double spaces". They don't render. Such edits just clutter up the article edit history and make more work for other editors, with no benefit to the reader.
Also, inserting a space between a number and the following unit is just fine, but per
WP:MOS it should be a non-breaking space. Code this as e.g.: 3 mm
or: 3{{
nbsp}}mm
.
Thanks for helping! Jeh ( talk) 01:57, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Department of State Growth (Tasmania), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Ferguson ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

You need to provide a source if you think the definition of the metre is changing. The metre is still defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the speed of light in vacuum c to be 299 792 458 when expressed in the unit m/s. The second is still defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the caesium frequency ∆νCs, the unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the caesium 133 atom, to be 9 192 631 770 when expressed in the unit Hz, which is equal to s–1. In what way are they different from the current definitions? - -- David Biddulph ( talk) 03:02, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
I realise, of course that the definition of some of the other SI units was changed by last year's conference. -- David Biddulph ( talk) 03:03, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
OOPS. I was trying to revert the valdalism / good faith eddit by Universe128 who changed the year from 2019 to 2018, but I didn't check the facts closely enough, and didn't realise I caught your edit too. Sorry about that, and thanks for fixing it. Carlroddam ( talk) 03:24, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
