Using capital letters for religious subjects

Please see WP:MOSCAPS which says "Pronouns referring to deities, or nouns (other than names) referring to any material or abstract representation of any deity, human or otherwise, are not capitalized.". I've reverted your recent edits to bring God in Christianity back in line with our guidelines. See for instance our article Jesus. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 18:17, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Please stop this. 'Second' doesn't get capitalised either. Dougweller (talk) 18:40, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

You've been asked politely twice to stop inserting unnecessary capital letters into articles, but unfortunately you've taken no notice so I have no choice but to block your account to get your attention. Wikipedia is a collaborative venture and we expect all editors to listen and respond to the concerns of their peers - especially when they're being told that their edits are in direct conflict with site-wide standards. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our editing policies as linked in the notes above before editing again. Most editors are very helpful and will be happy to help you out, but you need to play your part and demonstrate a willingness to learn and play by the rules. Thank you, EyeSerene^talk 21:03, 21 May 2010 (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 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.
